Title: Can't play my Mansion!!!
Post by Surcouf on 30.12.2007 at 21:51:22
Hello! [smiley=vrolijk_26.gif]
So, I'm a newbie here (hope this is the right place for my first post), coming from France and MM's addict.
I already built some elementary Mansions and played them, but the one I'm working on causes some problem: when I want to play with, launching it by the game itself (start game, choose mansion...), no opening and a window appears with "Can't find a resource..." (see att. file).
Any idea?
Thanks and a happy new year.

A few questions.
1° Are you sure that your mansionfile is in the Custom Mansions folder?
2° The standard startingroom of a mansion is # 16299. If your startingroom is an other one, did you change that at File / Mansion Options?
3° Are you sure there is a Jack in your starting room?

If none of these questions help, you may send me an email with a zip of your mansion. Then I reply asap.

A further maybe a little stupid ask:
You're registered?  ::)

Ahem! [smiley=undecided.gif]
I confused Starting Room Id with Music Index Id...
Thank you for reply and sorry for disturbing... :-X

Please, don't hesitate. You are never disturbing. We are always trying to help each other. With game-, forums- and mansion-issues. And at Speaker's Corner: about everything.

We have a rather small community, but I think it is a nice one!

I can’t even seem to make a post!  I can’t find the button that starts a post so I can ask a question!

Any ideas?  I am not a Newbie, but a Lost One - so I know I can post.  I just can’t seem to find out how.

But ... you just posted this question, which means you CAN post!

I can confirm that YaBB 2.2, the software we are using for MMF, still has some bugs. :'( Although much less than in the previous version. :)

The reporting of the sometimes missing 'post'-button reminds me of my problem. When I am at one of the three CMs-lists (sorted by date, designer or name) and I click on a mansionname, I arrive on its downloadpage. But ... at that downloadpage all buttons are gone! >:( :o

To solve that problem, I need to go to the next topic and then go to the previous topic. :-? With this walkaround all my buttons are back.

So, maybe you can try to do something similar. :-/

Yes, but isn't that because all topics at the CM subforum are locked?  You are not supposed to make any comments there.

No and yes. ;) I don't need those buttons to give comments. But as admin I must be able to lock/unlock, followed by modifying, or adding new attachments.

So, while the 'quote', 'modify' etc. buttons or of course invisible at first, the lock/unlock and all other admin-buttons are also gone. So I can't immediately start working.

I think this happens only when you follow a CM link from the links to the CM subforum.  Then your "Admin" panel above changes to "Update session".

Is it?

Maybe we should discuss that on our next Midnight Mansion World Congress! ;D
