Title: Jack Malone and the Temple of Tombs
Post by Lara on 03.03.2007 at 16:54:32
Just want to say again how much I love this mansion. It was the first custom mansion I fell in love with. I adore the graphics and the little huts and the grass and the ropes and everything. :D.

Any chance Matt and Joe B will make another?

:D

It's funny I just realized it uses custom graphics with the mummy graphics... Before that I wondered why you guys liked it so much! Now I realize how great it is, and it's awesome. The only thing that botheres me is how it uses the mummy characters. Mummys aren't made to be in the jungle... ;) ;D

Lara,

Yes we will be making a sequel but with Jack's sister Jill searching for him. I'm going to try to combine elements of Mummy and TOTOMBS,  kind of like a James Bond all over the planet chase.

Wingy,

Thanks! Seeing as you're a MM machine, I'd be interested to see what you can do with the graphics. I think some of the jungle stuff would work great with the Adventures of Ted. Feel free to use anything you wish.

samskeleton,

You shouldn't be seeing mummy graphics. If you are then you're using the MR sprites file with TOTOMBS. Switch back to the standard sprites file and you should get a MUCH better experience.


All,

Once Vern release 1.08 where all the changed graphics are in the mansion file I'll go back and fix the M&J mansions. The only one which will require file swapping will be Dominator. But with the tool ryos has put together that should become a snap too. Unfortunately today is one of those annoying "real" work days so I won't be working on any MM stuff today.


Hope this clears things up a little!

Joe B

Joe, how in the world do you use completely new sprite files (walls), without changing the graphics file? It's amazing!!!

@Sam:
Since version 1.0.7 it is possible to put changed TILES into the mansion's resource file (you don't need a changed Midnight Mansion Sprites file.) From 1.0.8. this will be possible with SPRITES too.

(Thought I answer this for you, Joe)   :)

Good answer samskelton but it's actually been possible since 1.06. I'm still using 1.06. I actually think that I could also do it in 1.05 which was where Vern changed the transparency color to aqua. But your answer IS absolutely correct.


@Vern:

Will we be using the same model; aqua denoting transparency?

Sequel? No sequel?

Hi everyone! i haven't been playing MM for ages but I am now. In recent times I have been playing BudRedhead which is totally awesome up until the boring shoot-em-up at the end.

xxx.

Nice to hear from you again, Lara! There are several new mansion and more coming. You'll have plenty to play. I haven't seen Matt or joe around for a long time.

Hi Lara,

Nice to see you on the boards. :)

I have been trying to download the free demo for Redbudhead, but keep getting the one from Phenos, and it comes up like hundreds of mini pictures on my screen, cannot play it, or even see what the images are.  :-/

Where are you getting yours from? :-?

Thanks,

Sandybean [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]

Hey, thanks for the nice words.  8-)

I found BudRedhead through apple.com originally but then I bought it through http://www.phelios.com/mac/budredhead.html. I had no problem downloading it from here, or try apple.com?

:)

Hi Lara, :D

Thanks for the prompt reply.  The site I originally got it from was Phelios (not Phenos), so I tried if off the Apple site, and the same thing happened.  It comes up all garbled on the screen, with tiny, tiny pictures that I can't even make out.  I am so dissapointed, cause I wanted to try it.  Now I am hesistant to even order it, since it may not work for me anyway. :-?

If anyone may have an idea as to why this is happening, I'm all Ears !!! ::)

PS: I have tried a few other mac download demos, and either the same thing happens or the screen goes black after I double click the game icon, and I have to restart my computer!  This sucks ! :(

But at least MM works for me, that is the most important thing! 8-)


Thanks,

Sandybean [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]

Hi SandyBean,

What Mac OS version are you using? Maybe you need to update?
Or try repairing permissions (go to Applications, Utilities, Disk Utility and click on repair permissions).

Hope that works.

SandyBean,

I never had the slightest problem with Bud RedHead.... neither with the demo nor the complete version.
It's a great game.

Try the LATEST demo version from Phelios, maybe that helps ?!

Do you use a Mac OS higher than 10.3.9 ??

Title: Re: Jack Malone and the Temple of Tombs

Hi Guys, :D

Thanks Semi-Native, I was so excited to try your suggestion, I got rid of everything that was running, and I tried the repair permissions, but alas, no luck. :-[

aquaMat; I have mac OS 10.4 Tiger, and I know in the past I played the Bud Redhead demo, but that was a long time ago, and now I am having difficulties with almost all downloadable games for demos.  I did download the BRH demo for 10.4, and I'm sure it was the latest.  Something very strange is going on!  :-?

Thanks for trying!
