Last two months I was very busy with two major cultural events here in Brugge. And that was why I was a little bit absent on the forums. Since several MM-friends asked information, I like to give it.<br />
<br />
In july we had our yearly music festival. English info at: <a href="http://www.klinkers-brugge.be/home_en.asp">http://www.klinkers-brugge.be/home_en.asp</a> . Budget around € 400.000 .<br />
<br />
And in August we had the Pageant of the Golden Tree, that happens only once in 5 years. And that needs almost 4 years preparation. For English, go to: <a href="http://www.comitevoorinitiatief.be/activiteiten/2007/goudenboom/indexEN.html">http://www.comitevoorinitiatief.be/activiteiten/2007/goudenboom/indexEN.html</a> . Here we have € 500.000 available.

On a website for guitarfreaks, once again the same rock guitar solo has been chosen* as the best ever: David Gilmour's solo in Comfortably Numb out of <blockquote>The Wall</blockquote> from Pink Floyd.<br />
<br />
Silver and bronze were for:<br />
2. Stairway To Heaven - Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin)<br />
3. All Along The Watchtower - Jimi Hendrix<br />
<br />
* Criteria. Guitar solos are the best display of talent by these musicians. Each guitar solo was ranked mainly for the overall quality of its composition. Originality, complexity, influence, and lasting appeal are also considered.<br />
<br />
Concerning guitar in classical music, my own knowledge starts and stops at Rodrigo's marvellous Concerto de Aranjuez.<br />

I used to know how to change signs, with the original editor, but how do you change them in the Expansion Pack and KEEP them changed ? If I type in the text I want on the sign EVERY sign (of the same size) in the mansion says the same thing. Am I completely missing something ? <br />
<br />
If I have a small sign that says 'Keep Out' and I create another small sign that says 'Treasure Ahead', then both signs now read 'Treasure Ahead' and I have no 'Keep Out' sign. <br />
Can anybody help me with this before I give up ?<br />
<br />
thanks <br />

Hi all,<br />
I am in the Mansion Family MindMines game - I have a feeling I am stuck, and will need to replay from the beginning.<br />
Here's where I am:<br />
Room 16502 - apparently, i made the mistake of coming down from above (as you should) without re-settin the magic blocks from gold back to silver (on gold now). So, i went ahead and played on, going BELOW (into the red area), and below to the right (area with three ladders and all that relates). I've gone as far as i could, and it looks like i must now go back to Room 16502 (where i am at now) and proceed to the right (I guess there's a room to the left too, but the gold blocks are in the way). BUT I cannot get up the hill on the right, because again, the blocks are gold and not silver.<br />
<br />
So, is there a way to switch blocks to silver, or am I right in having to re-start the game? :-?<br />
Thank you for any help in advance.<br />

Either I'm not doing it right, or its a bug... (I think im not doing it right)<br />
<br />
There's an ID in a room in my mansion. The room I.D. (for the position of where it is in the mansion) is 16506. (Is the number differant in each mansion?) Anyways. I tried to open a door set that has the ID of 33304. But when I set the lever to open that door with that ID and it reset when I clicked the lever again to see the ID I set it to! I tried using the <blockquote>shift sprite I.D</blockquote> but I couldn't use it right. If other people can't use it, then I think its broken. Or, I don't know how to use it! Please tell me how someone! <br />
<br />
Help...

About 2 new posts in the last 10 days or so...... Nothing ever happens here (anymore)...     :o   :<br />
<br />
Suddenly there's only 20 days left in the contest and it seems everybody (including myself) just gets in <span style="color: #339900;"><strong>panic </strong></span>!   8-) :<br />
But still.... I wish there was a little activity left on our boards here..... I'll be glad when that 'oody contest is over !!

Hi Gang,<br />
i could use some assistance here.<br />
Of all the levels, I missed this one (Spider mansion in Normal or hard mode).<br />
Simply, is there a lantern somewhere that I missed in the first six wings (the 6 red doors)?<br />
<br />
I am now in the last areas (beyond the yellow doors), there are more dark rooms here, and Jack's getting slaughtered! Some light would help!<br />
<br />
If I did miss a lantern, please shed some light on where it is (oops, sorry for thr pun!).<br />
Many thanks,<br />
DLC<br />

Take it easier. yes, right  8-)

There was a thread named <blockquote>The Pirate Invasion</blockquote>, which was about 4 pages long.  Now it is gone(!?) and all there is remaining is a new thread called <blockquote>RE: The Pirate Invasion</blockquote> which seems to include the last page og the TPI thread only.<br />
<br />
I would like to know whether anyone has somehow managed to delete the thread. leaving the last page only with an altered name.<br />
<br />
EDIT:  By using search I confirmed that the old thread is gone indeed!  This is very serious.  It means one of 2 things:<br />
<br />
1.  A hacker has hampered the thread which means that our forum is under attack!<br />
2. One of our members has somehow managed to hamper the thread, which should be impossible since only admins have access to delete, remove etc.

Like several other members I have replayed some of the original mansions lately (I assume we're all playing those old mansions again, due to the lack of new mansions...... aah.. the downside of this XP contest !!), especially the HARD versions and I found several points that we usually do not tolerate in custom mansions, namely Jack-stucks, several cheap deaths and (in Nightmare Mansion Hard, I guess it was) at least one further incident were it seemed not possible to finish with ALL doors opened (as you had to decide at one point to take a pole down..... ).<br />
<br />
Even if I didn't write down the mansions and exact room numbers to report these problems in detail, I mention it to show you - following the recent Knight Mansion Bug discussion - that there are indeed several other potential problems or at least <blockquote>quirks</blockquote> one has to deal with while playing the original mansions.<br />
<br />
A second ago I had to abort Knight Mansion Hard (somewhere after the 4th save pedestal) because I got stuck with not even suicide left as an option.  Same has happened to me in Castle Doom Hard, where it happened (in that gold/silver block puzzle <blockquote>maze</blockquote>) when I was killed directly after having pulled a gold/silver toggle lever and then reborn BEHIND  gold blocks without the possibility to get out !!<br />
<br />
This also goes to show how far we have progressed in mansion design: all those things haven't been noticed by anyone during the first years of MM design...... so ultimately it's a good sign, I would say !
