EDIT: I'm pretty sure that the section nine in under construction. Sam is going to do the next, but I'm not sure what's going on about it... :-/

There is a tread though under Cunstom Mansion Areas ->
                                           Talk / Catacombs ->
                                           Section 9
I believe...

@Brell: Whoops, miscalulation.

Hmm.  If you did #5 and me and Joe did the next two, then it would be section #8 next.  Actually it is #9 since you forgot Toybox, which did #6

brell, watch out! Since Toybox is a mathsman you must be sure if it is 8, 6 or 9 ... ;)

Okay. EIGHT sections are finished now. And the three next episodes should be for samskelton, aquAMat and Mikee in that order.

@ Sam: Hello-o-o! Where are you ?!??

You know, if Sam doesn't have time to work on his section right now, somebody else should take up the torch, and Sam can do his section later.

He's probably busy at school, spanish and french are annoying.  :-/ I'm homeschooled so I can go on the computer right after I finish all my work!  ::)

You should wait for the Christmas break or something for Sam to get going at his section.

Also... he's gotta fix the 1000s of bugs in Church! It's a great mansion but you can beat it without having 0 lives left at the end! And at the end, there's no winning spot! :o

Maybe someone els will have to edit it for us...

Exactly. Sam's busy, so somebody else who does have time should be doing a section of Catacombs. It doesn't make any sense to wait for Sam.

In future the Catacombs will have new sections. Of course! And once the expansion pack is there, we really need to think about a similar project. Does anyone has a good idea for a name?

But back to Catacombs. As soon as I have contact with samskelton, within a reasonable time, I will know what to do. And I will do anything needed. E.g. ask previous designers when there aren't new ones any more. But the story is not so far yet. When Sam should be "out" I will ask aquaMat, who asked before for a delay.

To be continued. The mansion of course. ;D

Sam, while you are online ... You are next !! Are you in for a new section?

Speaking on the side:

I have some suggestions for a section-by-section thing for the expansion CM.

Creppy Castle Towers - The sections in this the previous designer chooses what you make. Section one, for example wll have a intro, (the starter of the whole thing) and then the castle can get bigger, and bigger, and the sections can go like this...

                  Two               Three
Section one            _________
     _____            _|222|33333>> the exit could be here and goes up, or
   _|1111|_       _|2222|    |3333|
 _|111111|_   _|22222|___|3333|
|111111111>>22222>>3333333>> it could slope down from here and make a dungeon.

Towers is just an example in the title. Whatever the mansion turns out to be like, it will be named that. It could be dungeons, or something crazy like, Moroidoof. (Nonsense word)

Thats my idea. We shouldn't make anther cave series, but maybe a castle... or a house, or the original... a mansion. We could have instead of Castle in the title, Mansion.

I'm sorry guys... between homework, Roller coaster tycoon, and a new video game, I forgot...
I don't think I'm up for it yet, I need to start building stuff again and get the feel of building. I'm sorry to say I'll pass for now. You can hold me to my word I will do it though... Unfortunately, through all of this guitar hero 3 is coming up so It might be around christmas when I start building. I'm really sorry for holding everyone up... :-[

By the way, If i'm ever off to long I got an email (finally!) so you can mail me about it. It should be in my account. If not, it's amplified@frii.com

Ooooh.....   :o   ::)

Actually I had already started last night.... I didn't know it involved getting sent an "original" file. I have just duplicated the latest version, and started building into it !!!

I've done already 10 rooms.... so I hope it doesn't mean I have to start all over again !!

And Freddy, maybe you could tell me again what the "Catacombs building guidelines" were. I remember it had to be "normal", but there were also rules about money, and secrets, right ??

Title: Re: What's for a Section now?
Post by Freddy on 18.09.2007 at 23:48:54
@ aquaMat:

The designing rules you may find at http://actionsoft.com/forums/YaBB.pl?num=1169065657 in reply no. 6 under FUTURE.

I assume that you still have Catacoms version 8.1 ? If you are 100 % sure that you started with that version AND that the checksum from your Catacombs 8.1 is equal to the checksum you see at the Lists, then there is no problem. Otherwise you will have duplicating work, I am afraid. And I will need to send you the ORIGINAL file.

If you (or other forummembers) shouldn't know how to handle those checksums: "Open Terminal at Applications / Utilities and give the command: openssl sha . Do NOT forget the space after sha! Drag the ZIPfile to the cursor in Terminal and press enter to become the Checksum sha." Don't use the unzipped mansionfile!

Post by aquaMat on 19.09.2007 at 03:59:07
Freddy,

I used the latest version available (with brell's section as last one).

I'm not sure how I could do the checksum now (apart from re-downloading it, which of course doesn't tell me anything about the one I am using), as it is already unzipped (of course).

If it says "version 8.1" in the map screen and "mansion options" window it should be okay, don't you think ??

Title: Re: What's for a Section now?
Post by Freddy on 19.09.2007 at 04:42:40
I think (hope) so. But be sure that you didn't copy anything from any other mansion!

Title: Re: What's for a Section now?
Post by aquaMat on 19.09.2007 at 18:32:48
Of course not !!   8-)

BTW: Earlier today (Wednesday, Sept. 19) I have sent you my section for approval. Hope it's okay.....

Yeah, wasn't it ?!   8-)  ;)

BTW, testing is almost finished.... look forward for section 9 of Catacombs !!
