Semi-Native is working on the next section!

Yippee!  [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]

But please be patient!

I'll take this time now to ask for beta testers. Any volunteers?

Normally I'd be the first to volunteer (considering how much testing you have done for me), but unfortunately I'll be going on vacation in a couple of days (and currently I'm still testing Richard's new mansion, and I still have much other things to complete before I'll leave).

Next time you can count on me.....    ;)

Actually, it'll be a while because I've just started on the section. If I don't have any testers when I'm ready, I'll ask again later.

Thanks!

Wow, this is still going on :o







===== MANY years later =======

Freedy's grandson:
And Skmojo92342 is making section 2,302,789! Give him a hand!

;D

I could do the beta if you'd like, and after that I might even make a section myself :D
Just PM me when it's ready

Thanks! Will do.

To Freddy or anyone who has built a section:

I've got a question before I send Section 11 to my beta testers.
How do I fix it so they don't have to start at the very beginning, but just at my section. Do I change the starting room?

Thanks. It will be ready very soon. I just have to add the finishing touches.

Semi-Native, wait until Freddy answers this since he has a system for this.  Didn't you get the original from him to build on anyway?  I also think he would want to test it as well to check the special building rules for Catacombs.

Thanks, brell. Yes, I did get the original from Freddy. I just didn't know if beta testers had to go through the whole mansion or not. I'll wait for his reply.

it sounds logical though... :) Catacombs section 23498976234 ready for beta testing... it'll be ready in 3459872349879234 weeks after first having to play through the 23498976233 previous sections... [smiley=evil.gif]

You can change the 'Starting room ID' in the 'Mansion Options' (make sure you write down the original starting room ID first). To find out which room ID you want to start in, open the starting room and choose 'Room Options' (or Level Options, or command+L, I haven't done that in a long time).

You can always use your last saved game, too  ;)

Hi Toybox,

The file for building new sections is renamed "Catacombs Original" so using your last save probably wouldn't work. I can make a copy of the mansion with my new section, change the starting room and see if that works. With a copy, no harm done if it messes up.

You can make a copy and rename it 'catacombs', too (and put your current catacombs file somewhere safe).

Section 11 is now being beta tested. Hubby and I are going on vacation for a week starting this Thursday (10/23), so I'll make sure I get it to Freddy before we leave.

I take that as a hint that I should speed up in my beta testing :D

Ha ha, I'm not worried. You and Sherry were both quick to test it, and I so appreciate it.
:D

I'm really looking forward to see the new Catacombs section !
It seems to be close to release now...!!

As they say in Germany.....good things need a little longer. (Vaguely trasnlated)....  :)  ;)

Or 'good things come to those who wait'. :)

Release of section 11 will be for tomorrow!  [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]

hipphipphurra!!

I'm really glad we finally have a new version of Catacombs !!!

Can't wait to play it.....    :)

BTW: Due to Freddy's illness we now have so many new mansions and/or updates at once. I hope this does not dwarf each individual mansion's merits !!?

We're certainly grateful for all of them....

And it is a coincidence, that at the same time, brell's computer was in hospital as well.

Otherwise there wouldn't have been a wave of mansions right now.

Good job, Semi-Native!  Enjoyed playing your section of Catacombs.  Looking forward to your next full-blown mansion.  

Thanks, Jackie, I appreciate it.

Hi Semi-Native

Just played your 11th section....IT WAS GREAT!!!   [smiley=beer.gif] [smiley=dankk2.gif]  

I can't wait for you to create another mansion of your own.  

Thanks, Missy, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I also very much enjoyed your section in Catacombs, Semi-Native, and really liked the movement and timing of rm 17716 !!!  Everything was so smooth, Jack just had to stay 'out of the way' !

I am not sure about the coins though, since I have gone through many times now, and still, when I get to the final save room, I am missing $25?  (One Silver Coin).    :-[

I am wondering if this is the one from the upper right corner in the last section?  (As you can see from the pic, Jack needs this final coin in order to complete section 10 with a perfect score of 50,000.)   :-?

Any way to help clear this up for me? or has my Jack been sloppy?

Thanks

Hi SandyBean,

Thanks for the nice words. That coin in the upper right is part of my section, though. If you needed that to get to $50,000 then you missed $25 in Section 10. And I bet I know where, it's tricky.

Try again!
