Released Multiplayer Racing source package for Esenthel 2.0 to Esenthel Store

Released Ineisis Online source package for Esenthel 2.0:
-updated codes to automatically create sql tables at start of the server if they didn't exist yet
-updated codes to use sqlite by default (so ms sql server does not need to be installed and configured)

Released 2.0 (Beta) for Windows and Android:
-IMPORTANT: changed the way lightmaps work for materials, previously they worked as ambient map, now they always multiply texture color by lightmap color (lightmap texture coordinates is now always taken from VTX_TEX1), lightmaps no longer make use of ambient color parameter (you can clear it to zero now)
-IMPORTANT: upgraded to DirectX SDK 2010 Feb (if you distribute your game with directx dll's, please update the dll files to match directx version)
-interpolator 'first/clearValue' methods no longer need to be called upon receiving first data (engine now handles this automatically, you can remove checks for 'InterpolatorTime.first' and calling 'Interpolator*.first' afterwards)
-lightmaps now work for all renderers (deferred, forward, simple)
-improved rendering performance and optimized some shaders a bit more
-added support for reflection maps in simple renderer and for blend light material techniques (good for glass materials)
-improved zlib compression speed since build 20
-when cache will fail to load an element, it will now include the type of the element in the error message
-Game.ObjParams.type is now set only by UID of Game.ObjType enum type element id
-fixed displaying stars in atmospheric sky on DirectX 10+
-App.name can now be left empty
-App.name can now be changed multiple times
-fixed breakable joint when loading previously saved joint on bullet physics engine
-fixed setting slider joint when one actor is NULL on bullet physics engine
-fixed setting slider joint limits on physx3
-fixed rendering fur since build 20
-fixed potential crash on mobile platforms when operating on class members of type SockAddr/CritSect which are stored after 1 sized elements causing the members to be unaligned
-new functions GetGlobalIP, HaveGlobalIP, WaitForGlobalIP for better control of obtaining global ip address
-blend material techniques now support SetHighlight
-new method App.coInitialize allowing to setup windows COM library using CoInitializeEx
-added new application options (publish project data, publish physx dll's, publish data as pak's)
-project elements which are placed inside library/application elements will now be embedded in application executable (useful for installers if you want to include some image inside the application without the need of having standalone pak file)
-added support for setting light maps and macro maps to materials
-fixed bug in Blocks mesh class which under rare circumstances could cause some block faces to be displayed as holes
-added Esenthel and PhysX logo images into SDK/Assets folder
