Breaking films is a definite glitch for AlephModular.

On that note, I have a couple related requests.

Is there anyone willing to write up a transcript of each of the 
existing three demo movies? A point by point checklist of activities to 
confirm that a given build hasn't broken one of these movies.

In addition, is there anyone willing to submit their Marathon 2 films 
as additional test cases? The existing three demo films don't include 
any net games. Some other vidmaster films would be good too. I should 
stress that these should be your own movies. That way we can include 
them in CVS or the website with their own transcriptions and use them 
as test cases.

They should be your own and they should use stock M2 maps, shapes, and 
physics.
