Re: Need Beta Testers ! - josephine - 08-28-2013
Hi SandyBean- in the past I've forgotten to
delete preview picsbefore zipping a file and this caused some weird issues. Maybe it's something like that? PM'ed you too :-)
Re: Need Beta Testers ! - SandyBean - 08-29-2013
Your Right ! I did forget to do that, so will try resending it to all with that done, but I have a feeling it's to do with it being built before the official MM2 builder was released.
thanks !

This has nothing to do with the preview pics in the builder. They only affect the size of the zipfile.
Re: Need Beta Testers ! - SandyBean - 08-29-2013
Yes, you're right Brell.
The mansion was built using the builder in the Expansion pack, prior to the release of MM2. So presently it will only open in the MM Expansion pack and builder.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated
Thanks,

I really do not know what you mean by expansion pack. Vern never released anything but MM1, MM2 and MM HD.
Maybe you are talking about beta versinos of MM2?
I have the first part of HGoB by Freddy and it works fine in MM2, so something must have happened to your version.
Re: Need Beta Testers ! - josephine - 08-31-2013
If I remember correctly, originally the contest was for an
expandedversion of MM1 that had some new features, but then it got released as it s own stand-alone game
MM2.The people in the contest were given the new builder, so maybe something changed before it was released with MM2?
Anyway, SandyBean sent me the file and it won't play in the game, only in the MM2 builder. (Geek note, if this helps: it opens as a Unix file, not a MM2 file. I can't get it to recognize as MM2.)
Anybody??
(Unfortunately Freddy hasn't signed in since last year, and my PM to him in Jan. was never read. But if they were just waiting until after the official release of MM2 it sounds like he was OK to release HGoB. His section is really good, it would be a shame for it to not see the light of day.)

I can open the mansion but only by first starting MM2, THEN drag the Mansion onto the MM2 application icon.
Re: Need Beta Testers ! - brell - 08-31-2013
I remember now that MM2 was called expansion pack while being developed. The MM2 builder and MM2 application should be able to open the mansion because it is the same builder and the same application. As I said above I have the first section of HGoB and it opens easily in both builder and game.
Thanks for your info, Rose. The mansion opens in the builder by dragging it over the builder icon AND it opens in the game by dragging it over the game icon but only AFTER the game has started.

Got a big problem. The ladder jump feature is needed but disabled!!!
Re: Need Beta Testers ! - Semi-Native - 08-31-2013
Rose, open the mansion in the MM2 level builder (I had to start up the level builder, then drag the mansion file onto the level builder icon. Once it's open in the level builder, go under the file menu and click on Mansion Options. Put a check mark next to Allow Ladder Jumps and then Save.
