Discoteque of Doom Help - again
08.04.2007 at 05:47:38

Greetings all, again (and Ryos, hi again),

I followed Ryos' instructions and they worked like a charm getting out of room 20505.
Now I find myself stuck elsewhere, closer to the destination but still afar off.
I am now in room 20310, with the four squares. I am in the lower left square, having fallen off the "M/M" block.
Jack can't get out; please tell me this is not a glitch, and there's some trick move to get back in action. Huh

Many thanks,
DLC

Hi Ryos,
Thanks for the response.
The main square is divided into four "quadrants" (with a shortened purple door between the two left-side quadrants). Each quadrant has one block (load-bearing so to speak) in the middle of it, the bottom two having the initials "MM" on them. The lower left quadrant *had* one skull spider in it - that killed one of my Jacks, so it's gone. In attempting to jump up on to the higher level (the upper two quadrants), jack fell behind (to the left) of the MM square in this lower left quadrant, making him trapped by hte MM block - he can't jump on it, he can't scoot under it, he appears to be trapped.
I was wondering if there was a way out, like a special jump to get back onto the MM block and back into action? (I am guessing that there is an area to explore beyond the aforementioned purle door; I did find the key which was in the lower RIGHT quadrant).
Thanks,
DLC

First of all.... Ryos - thanks for answering dlcatftwin's first question (in the other thread). Your answers have been correct.

Now to this question: (BTW.... why did you create a new thread for it?? I only stumbled upon it by chance... Wink

)

In room #20310 it seems you have made the one "bad" move I thought I had prevented....by putting not one, but two skull spiders in the lower left quadrant I wanted to indicate it's not a good idea to leave the MM-block... in case someone still does...say he accidentially fell off the MM-block (like you did apparently), I thought 2 skullspiders were enough to take care of this !!

You must have died at least twice, and fallen off the MM-block three times to end there stuck ?!? Shocked

'Cause that's what you are now, sorry to report...!!

STILL: I don't think that qualifies as a Jack-stuck that needs to be designed out....even if in this case it definitely is.
But it happens only to one in a million players, I reckon....to fall off three times in a row.... wouldn't it ? Cool

So, dlcatftwin, unfortunately there's no solution...other than to abort the game and restart at the nearest save point.
Sorry about this.

PS: Thanks for playing & enjoying DoD..... please keep playing !!

Thanks, Aquamat,
I went ahead and went back to save #5, and when I came back to the area in question, I just avoided that square altogether.
A little of both (referring to Ryos) - I had one shield and died twice, trying to find the way up to the higher level of quadrants. Gues i don't have that "Lost One" status for nothing!

Thank yu both for the replies.

Make sure you've read and agree with the rules of posting here! The forums are run by three administrators. Read here who they are and what you may (and may not) expect from them. A brief history of the game At first there was Midnight Mansion, now often called MM1. This game package was for Mac only and contained 8 mansions, each on easy, normal and hard level. Above that there was a builder included, so that customers could design mansions themselves. Then there was Midnight Mansion HD, now abbreviated as MM1 HD for both Mac and Windows. It contained the 3x8 mansions from MM1 plus 3x a bonus mansion: Tomb of Princes. All in high definition! Actionsoft's latest game, Midnight Mansion 2: The Haunted Hills, includes 28 mansions with a lot of new features. The 8 built-in mansions have 3 difficulties along with 4 extra custom mansions. Yes indeed, the MM2 package also has an included builder to create mansions! Custom mansions In the past decades several customers started experimenting with the builders. Creating rooms. Talking about it on the Midnight Mansion Forums. Sending their own designed mansions to other board members to test them. And finally sending them to the administrators of MMF. Result? Nearly 200 extra mansions are downloadable from these boards and some of them have over 100 rooms. If you like to download custom mansions, go to the General Custom Mansions Area (Mac and Windows) where you find the lists with all the download spots.
