Cannot access saved versions of custom mansion - Matari - 09-04-2011

Hi - I am playing my game (Questing for the Rainbow Key) but when I want to access a save, I get the attached screen. Am I doing something wrong?

Hmm... it looks like a bug in one of the beta versions. Let's see what Vern says.

Did you put your game into the directory that the game creates? Or did you open your game from another location on your computer?

Hi Rob - I put the game in the directory the game created when I pressed on 'open mansion'.

Matari,

Here's a temporary workaround:

In your Custom Mansion folder, open your mansion zip file. Now when you press open mansion, select the expanded directory that contains the contents of your zip file. Play that and save it, abort the game and restore - it should work. I just created a simple mansion to test it.

I'm sure that Vern intends to be able to save/restore from a zip file as well. I forwarded the information to him so that knows about the inconsistent behavior.

Hi Rob - Yes this worked, thank you.

This is what I did

The problem with that Rose is that any player who gets the game from the Apple AppStore is not going to see the same structure as what you've laid out, though it is close.

Under Applications, they will see (among many other apps):


Applications
+ -- Midnight Mansion HD - Episode 1
+ -- Midnight Mansion HD Custom Mansions


The Custom Mansions directory will be created the first time someone goes to open a custom mansion. The Game Data is now bundled under the app. Are you saying that you moved things around to keep the game components together?

I will look into fixing this.
