Title: Bottoms Up Mansion
Post by Bluemaan on 07.01.2007 at 12:15:27
:P This is my 1st mansion. I bought the game last week after finishing 1 or 2, then the whole. Reminds me of Lode Runner & Spae Station Pheta of old. >

Let me know of any bugs -I've played the mansion a few times, specifically trying to mess up here & there & see if I can get finished anyhow -so far, so good. Only around 20 -25 rooms, but 2 sides, like the towers in 1 of the original mansion in a way.


Also, please let me know what to improve, specifically or in-general. This was fun!

I fixed the platform room issue, though I can't figure out how to put an invisible layer in, so just put a regular path.

As for the preview picts, I went to SPECIAL & clicked REMOVE PREVIEW PICS & it removed all from the mansion, so I was glad I had a back-up copy to refix! :D

Do I REMOVE PREVIEW PICTS before I create a mansion next time? (I have other ideas :-])

Thanks for the help all!!!!

Welcome!
You were fast starting building a house. I'll try to play it and will report bugs and other problems I might have.

Hey Bluemaan! Welcome to the boards.
Nice mansion, but the size in KBs... Did you delete the preview pictures in the Editor? Well since your new its ok but for future updates, delete them. To delete them, go into the special menu in the editor and click, "Remove Preview PICTs."

Another thing: Read the PM I sent you!

Just found this bug in room 17098... When the moving platforms go up, then go up and force Jack into the next room then... either the computer crashes, or unexpecly quits MM. (Midnight Mansion) I recommend just putting a invisible white thingy that stops the platform from going up. Its the very last selection in the editor of the platforms.

Hi Bluemaan, welcome!
Nice mansion, but I had the same problem as Wingy. The game crashed when Jack went up on the platform to the next room.
Keep up the good work.

Hi!
I had the same problem in 17098! I must add that I like the design so far.

Hi Bluemaan,
welcome to the forums. :)

Although it does feature lot of great ideas, and a 'wild style look' I had a couple of problems with your mansion:

There are just too many rooms that are unaligned, (meaning floors have different heights), so Jack has many unneccessary deaths,
or paths that lead into nowhere... and other stuff like that.
Apart from that there are a couple of  little drawing errors, with tiles missing, or put in the wrong layer.
It seems like you created that mansion very fast.

One tip would be: go through your mansion, as if you're new to it, explore every possible way.... and definitely check the floor heights of adjacent rooms. And test-play it a lot!

I'm also not very sure if I like the idea of doors that are "floating in space" (i.e. not anchored to a floor and a ceiling), as that always leaves a strange 'rest' in the air, that is normally there, to indicate an opened door. It looks good on the ground, but in the air??

However, that last point is probably down to personal taste.

But there is already a lot of nice stuff in that masnion of yours.

Kepp designing !!

Hi bluemaan and welcome on board.  I must say that I share aquamat's opinions on your mansion.  Don't get me wrong, your mansion is definitely worth going to the list of completed mansions - but only after it has been thoroughly beta-tested.  This free up/downloading forum is for mansions like yours and my twins, which are not finished.  Feel free to ask someone (maybe 2 or 3 persons) to beta test your mansion for you.  After you have found your testers you should use e-mail rather than the boards to discuss the testing.

I'm looking forward to see this mansion in a finished state.

Found a stuck point! Room 16901. If you go up the vine, and jump onto the M blocks, and jump until you're in the top right corner, you'll be stuck!
Glad to help.
Wingy ;)

Blueman -- yes, you want to remove preview PICTs before uploading, but you don't need a backp copy. Another item in the Special menu lets you re-create all preview PICTs. :-)

Umm... :-? Am I playing the latest update?

I am stuck in (or around) room 17298. Can anybody help me out?

Oh, and there's a Jack-Stuck involved too. if you go to the left through the hidden passageway when all grey doors are up, when you come back they're still up with no way to get them down.

Hello Bluemaan

I like to see a new post of you, to know what you are "thinking" NOW, after the several replies.

Speaking for myself, only today I was able to visit your mansion, and although it felt not "finished" yet, it did impress me. I liked the "wild" stuff with a lot of things just hanging in the air. It reminds me a little bit of Knu's Infinite.

Hope to hear something from you. I am sure that a lot of other forummembers will help you to give your mansion the finishing touches.

Can anybody tell me how to get back up having gone all the way down?  I never got any further than that.  And yes, I know about the secret room to the left of the room with 3 gray doors

He was very disappointed about the (first) replies concerning his mansion. Both brell and I checked those posts, but we didn't see anything that could have harmed him so much.
