Movies broken? - BBFMan - 12-22-2011
[Mac version]
At my end, movies replay, but treasure is not collected and platforms (the ones that glow and timeout) don't work. Will these issues be fixed sometime soon?
Cheers.

If this is for a standard mansion, can you send me a movie file that demonstrates the issue?
This sounds highly unusual. Movies record what keys were pushed on the keyboard to move Jack, but other than that, he behaves as normal. Meaning, there is no reason why he wouldn't pick up treasure.

Cathedral Towers easy, but just checked Midnight Mansion easy and also notice that Jack does not pick up keys, does not open doors and is not killed by spiders.
Also, after opening replay, unable to quit MM. Force quit (cmd-alt-esc) is necessary.
[UPDATE]
Choosing Abort Game... then allows quit as normal.

Just curious.
Has anyone here checked out the movie file I attached to my previous post? If so, did it work as expected?
Thanks for any feedback.

I have looked at it and Jack does pick up money. I don't thinkyou've tried killing a Spider or picking up a key in the video.

Most peculiar. Obviously something wrong at my end. Thanks for your reply Rose.

After unplugging my Cinema Display, replays suddenly started working as expected. What's weird is replays are still fine after reconnecting the Display (?)
Anyhow, all is well now. Thanks for listening.

Strange, but not terribly strange -- replays only record keypresses, in order to keep movie size very small. As such, they are very prone to error. For instance, if a mansion is modified since the replay is created, it likely won't play back correctly.
