Hello everybody. I hope you had a great start in 2010! <br />
<br />
Since Freddy designed a hard but very enjoyable mansion ( I did have game over several times but I haven't given up until I finished with 70% secrets ) I think it's time for a new 'not so hard' mansion <br />
So- I designed a small, 70 room, Art minds mansion and is now ready for beta testing. It' s a little more difficult than my usual design but still waaaayyy easier than Freddy's coffeehouse :<br />
<br />
Anyone up for some beta testing? Let me know. <br />
Have a great weekend and ( better late then never ) I like what you've done with the forum boards- NICE work!<br />

Fixed 3 design glitches ONLY, so money and secrets have not changed. So there is no need to replay the mansion, unless you want to, of course.<br />

Alright!  Insectoid has been out for a little while now, and so it's time to start talking High Scores!  <br />
<br />
Right now we don't have Global High Scores, but we do have these boards, so I figured I'd start the topic (on the honor system).<br />
<br />
My high score right now is:<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Courier New;">638187 (levels 1-37) HARD MODE</span><br />
</strong><br />
Can you do better?  What are your high scores for EASY MODE or NORMAL MODE?  I want to know!  Please share. :-)<br />

Had nearly 1,5 hours playing fun. Was a lot to explore.  <br />
<br />
Somewhere on the road I saw a JS. Suppose that Jack takes the multicoloured key in room 16508 and for some reason forgets to take the (obvious) blue key in room 16507. When he opens the 4 doors on the bottomfloor of room 16508 with his y r mc and g keys, then he is stuck. Neither the GY door in room 16508 or the Y door in room 16510 can be opened with a blue key.

1. Open the zipfile and open the mansion in the Builder. Make sure that the version number in Mansion Options under File is correct. Note the first release is always 1.0, so the next one will be 1.1. The first digit (1.0 to 2.0) is not changed unless there is a major update like if the builder adds or deletes one or more rooms.<br />
<br />
2. Make sure that Preview pictures are removed, then close the Builder and open Terminal.<br />
<br />
3. In the Terminal type exactly:<br />
<br />
openssl sha <br />
<br />
WITH A SPACE AFTER sha .<br />
<br />
4. Drag the MM file into the Terminal behind the space after sha and press return. The checksum will be revealed. Now you can zip the mansion again<br />
<br />
5. Leave the Terminal open and go to one of the download pages in the Custom Mansions Area category - Lists of downloadable mansions board. Perhaps the quickest way is to use the Download by mansionname thread to find the mansion quickly. Click the mansionname to be taken to the downloadpage in the CMs subforum.<br />
<br />
6. Click modify in the upper right corner.<br />
a) Change mansion and zipfile if needed<br />
b) Change the checksum by copy and paste from the Terminal. Note that you do NOT change the checksum name of the mansion thread.<br />
c) Choose the new mansion zipfile to replace the old file and post the message.<br />
<br />
7. Go to the three <blockquote>Downloads sorted by ...</blockquote> threads in the Lists of downloadable custom mansions board. Change the release date to the newest update date. Make sure that you move the mansion to the top in the <blockquote>Downloads sorted by date</blockquote> thread.<br />
<br />
8. Go to the mansion category and announce the update.<br />

<br />
So far this very hard mansion contains a red and a green area. Money and saving pedestals are limited. Shields are absent. Therefor the difficultydegree is supposed to be close to game over.<br />
<br />
Oline and her coffeehouse really exist!
