Title: Working on a new mansion...
Post by Midnight Mouse on 04.01.2014 at 04:18:30
...it's coming!  A brand new level for the original Midnight Mansion.  Been working on it on and off for a couple of years.  It has over 100 rooms...  ...will be titled, "Midnight Adventure".  More news to come!

Wow, I can't wait! Do you need someone to beta test the mansion? I volunteer. It would be fun.

Good to hear, I'll definitely test it when it comes out, also it's good for a HD Version if you make it in the old MM1 Builder too :3

Wow!  I didn't expect the responses I've received so far.   :)
Thank you everyone.  I sincerely hope this mansion will be fun for everyone who tries it.  I still have about 10-15 more rooms to complete before I upload it.  I really appreciate the offers to beta-test it, but I'd like to get it to a completed point before I release it.  Here are some of the goodies this mansion will have:

The mansion will take place deep underground.

It currently has 444 rooms.

This mansion will have tributes to other video games.

There is an easter egg room.

Dear Midnight Mouse, please read the posts in this link about beta-testing and uploading a new custom mansion.  Just to make sure there is no misunderstanding  :)

Thanks for the link Brell.  I understand that, if one wants to have their custom mansion included on The List Of Approved Mansions, it needs to be thoroughly beta-tested.  I guess what I was trying to say is that I'm not ready to have it beta-tested yet because I still have about ten more rooms to complete.  After I complete those rooms, I have no problem with the mansion being beta-tested.  I have been testing the rooms as I build them, so I hope beta-testing will be easy.  I am keeping in mind trying to prevent "stuck Jacks" and "cheap death Jacks".   :)
       When I originally started this mansion, it wasn't in my mind to have it necessarily included in The Approved List Of Mansions.  I don't know if it is good enough for that.  If it does make it to that level, that's great.  But, I was just hoping to have a level for anyone to try and have fun with it.  Can one load a mansion just for others to try out that might not be administrators?
       I have run into some frustrating issues while building this mansion.  The main one is that the level editor, version 1.2.2, only allows for 444 rooms.  If I try adding a 445th room, the editor crashes.  The early original version of this mansion was to have over 800 rooms.  Is this a "known" issue?  Am I doing something wrong on my end?  Is this a limit in Midnight Mansion 2?   :(

Thanks for the encouragement.  I hope to have this mansion finished very soon.

Hmm.  I thought your mansion was for the original MM, not MM2.  I do not know about the size limits.

Sorry for the confusion.  The level I am working on is for the original Midnight Mansion game -- not for Midnight Mansion 2.  I was just wondering if the level editor for MM2 had the same limits as the original MM level editor -- I was thinking of someday doing a second mansion in MM2 and wanted to know if I'd run into the same problem or not.

I think both editors have the same limit.

Yup, Brell is right, as I remember both editors has the same limit, but I think, maybe you've put to many sprites in those rooms you already got, maybe thats why you can't make any more new rooms, but I'm not sure.

Sigh...  I'm very frustrated.  I have completed the mapping out of the initial 444 rooms.  Now I am running into a limit where I cannot add additional items within a room.  I think the best course of action at this point is to shave an additional "level" of rooms off of the mansion.  This will remove about 25 rooms from the mansion -- so there will still be over 400 rooms.  This will be the third time I've had to do this.   :'(
