It's not that the bricks are invisible, it's just that they're being covered up by tiles placed in layer five or six. I don't think, however, that there is a solid black tile to use, in which case Brell used a custom tile in TPI. If your rooms have backgrounds, though, then you can just use whatever background tile you were drawing with.

You also probably will have to erase the fringe. This is the 3D effect placed automatically by the editor in layers 1-3. To erase it, switch to those layers and click away.

Hope that helps.

Reply #3 - 29.09.2007 at 05:24:36 There is actually a solid black brick you can cover things up in laver 5... Those dungeon doors (with the brick backgrounds) have some black tiles between the door peices. (located about 2/3rds of the way down that bar for the bricks/backgrounds. If you don't get what I'm saying, I'll get you a pic.

Speaking of erasing the fridge, don't forget if you want to get rid of layer 6 3d fringe you can uncheck the "draw layer 6 fringe" in the special menu. Then select the nothing-ness tile (aka the erasing black tile) and click away the fridge... it's also easier to uncheck it before you start drawing layer 6 stuff.

May not be related to subject... but anyways...

oh yeah, to make a good secret that has a good hint, (that's like for example a secret room through a grey brick wall) and you have no layer 6 cracked brick with a fridge to give a hint, just draw a not cracked layer 6 wall to the secret without a fringe! Makes the players to look out for that, because usually they look out for cracked walls...

EDIT: Fridge, fringe... whats the differance? Roll Eyes

Anyways... back to subject...

Hey, I remember in one of AquaMat's mansions... DoD...? (Discoth of doom... is that the right spelling? Huh

)

That Aquamat put a sign... saying repeat the magic words and you can float... how did you do that, Aquamat??

I've been designing away before and somehow (I forget how) the ground let Jack float, or levitate, as it says in Aquamat's mansion. I had to remake the room to get rid of this, this... bug.

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.
