Title: Bug in 1.1.0?
Post by VernJensen on 27.12.2007 at 04:51:09
Is it just me, or is Falcon Manor Easy broken in version 1.1.0, so you can't play it? (Seems a space was added to the end of the mansions' name, so the game can't find it.)

Since it looks like I'll be releasing a 1.1.1 update to fix this, I was also thinking I should change high score submission so you can't submit a high score to the internet unless you actually beat a mansion. What do you all think?

That Highscore thing sounds nice. It's better because you wouldn't even have a chance to beat anyone that is already there if you didn't even finish the mansion.

Merry Christmas by the way to all MMFans! [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]

I think that's a great idea, Vern.

Trying to play Falcon Manor Easy indeed gives an error code.

Why stuck on Falcon Manor?  It's not the original data of this or else?  :o

I goofed, Mikee. There is a space at the end of Falcon Manor Easy's filename. Not sure how that got there. Must've gotten an update from Alan I forgot about, or something. I will fix it when releasing 1.1.1 towards the end of this week.

I managed to figure out how to get Falcon Mansion Easy to work in the game (v1.1.0) without having to load it manually! As Vern stated, there is a space at the end of the "Falcon Manor Easy" filenames in BOTH of the following folders:

/Game Data/Mansion Data/

and

/Game Data/Mansions/

So... I figured that I'd simply rename on the file to remove the trailing space for each file, and after you should be able to load the mansion! :D

Enjoy!

But then, maybe you cannot register your highest score on the world-wide list.

Then again, neither can you when you cannot play the mansion at all  ::)

That's correct, if you modify *both* filenames, it'll work. So no need to get the upcoming 1.1.1 update just for that fix if you do this. There will be one other small change though in 1.1.1, that disallows posting of high scores online unless you beat the mansion.

@Toybox: I did beat it and I was able to post online. You can try it and see what happens.

@Vern: I like the disallowing of score posts you have in store, regardless, I'll be getting the patch :D
