I hope nobody is too hungover today. I wish us all peace, good health and happiness in 2007, and lots of time to build new mansions.

8-) Oh no, no hang-over! Just sleep deprived!

Happy New year!

Just wanted to say hello to everyone and wish you all a Happy New Year. And thanks so much to Vern, Freddy, and all who are helping to get this new forum up and running; it is much appreciated and great to 'see' everyone again. Would be glad to help in any way I can.

8-) ... to cover my eyes ...  :-? :-?

Talking about Midnight Mansion, I have very good feelings. Because of a lot of reasons.

Rather unexpectedly we suddenly had the start of new MM-boards thanks to Vern Jensen from ActionSoft himself. In a matter of fact it was probably the best way for us, to become new forums again. And Vern made it come true just before Christmas. What a present!

While Brell, Suztours and I, step by step are giving the standard software some structure and lay-out, a few days ago we were really taken by suprise ... and worried. On December the 29th started an increase of memberships that felt like spam, robots, intruders, ... The fact that worried me mostly was, that I saw that a new "member" did use the computer of one of our true MM-addicts while using a different username and emailaddress. Reason enough, I thought, to start a lot of things concerning security, checking etc. But ... at the end there was only good news!!! :) It became clear that ActionSoft had made marvellous publicity for our new boards. That happened with a link from the ActionSoft-website AND no less than 300 emails to MM-customers. So thanks to Vern we have exactly 86 REAL members for the time being. As one of the administrators of the boards I want to welcome ALL new members. And believe me: only-reading-members are as important as posting-members! And a few emails made clear that a mother and daughter BOTH became seperate MM-forummembers with different emailaddresses from one computer!

There is even MORE good news. About a half year ago three odd things were detected with the MM-game itself. Psychotronic did put our attention on something that went wrong with saved game files in large mansions. With the release of Midnight Mansion 1.0.6 that was pretty fast fixed. Rose from Sweden experienced an other strange thing. When Jack fell down onto a saving pedestal he didn't die, but stayed alive while making a saved game. Vern found an answer for that as well. The toughest one, was however a very rare problem with zapper beams, found by Toybox. At the very end of last year, Vern Jensen came with the splendid news that also this problem got a solution. So, an update of MM 1.0.6 may be expected (soon). I'll ask Vern about the timing.

The boards, ... the MM-game ... and ... the custom mansions!! At least FOUR new ones are coming. Wingy's Midnight Pyramid is already downloadable at the Free Up- and Downloading, while waiting for a place on the List of Completed Mansions. And from aquaMat, Palace of Gore and Small Palace of Gore are beta-tested these days, while his Discotheque of Doom will be ready within a few weeks.

What I wanted to say was: MM is NOT the most important thing in the world. For 2007 I wish you in the first place a good health and a lot of luck in your private lives. And ... although "not so important" a lot of pleasure with Midnight Mansion while playing or being active on the boards by reading or posting.

HAPPY NEWYEAR to everybody!

Hmmm....  this is not quite unrelated to MM  ;)

I'm sure Suztours agrees with me in that our contribution is less than 1% so far.  At least 99% of the credits go to Vern and Freddy.

You forget the ladder bug (or is it a feature?) I found  ;)  You know, when Jack can sometimes step onto a ladder that goes through a ledge without falling down.

Oops. Forgotten. Sorry about that.

I am afraid that IF it is a feature, that there must be a lot of Jack-stucks in a lot of mansions. Do you contact Vern about this matter?

I have already contacted him a few weeks ago via e-mail.  I'm sure he is looking into this as well as the other stuff.

Hmmm, I don't remember hearing about. Can you reforward that email to me? May have gotten lost in my inbox...

Just sent you (Vern) a new e-mail about this.

There won't be a fix for it in 1.0.7 (and I'm also waiting for Freddy to tell me about a Jack-stuck in one of the included mansions too), but I wanted to release 1.0.7 without further delay, because it has other bug fixes you guys have been waiting on.

Happy New Year to everyone on Board [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]

Yeah, Happy New Year on all!  ;D
