Engine Updates
Project Invincible 2.01 (WB)
C++ source; mp; own GUI; Win32, Linux32

- new reflection implementation; the old implementation required an optional OpenGL feature called stencil buffer that, to my surprise, is not implemented in many graphics drivers
- fixed: sometimes a piece was selected when you opened a dialog
