- Update to version 2.4.0
New Features
* we have a new CE-specific set of levels called "Croft Arena"
centered around coop.
Fixes
* checks for updates were not implemented properly - to explain
the issue is a bit complicated, so please just update to get
correct update notifications in the future.
Improvements
* when the config was reset, you will now get a confirmation
that it was reset.
* you can now place a simple text file called tr1-data-root.txt
in the data root of your ZIPs - this will make CE copy all
folders underneath that file and not do some more guesswork
about what is TR1 data.
* you can now play offline without fiddling with the coop data
it's a simple checkbox now to play offline.
