Midnight Mansion 1.0.9 has been released. This is a minor update that fixes various problems in several mansions, plus fixes a bug in the editor. <br />
<br />
- Fixed a spot in Cathedral Towers Normal/Hard, room 15104, where Jack could get stuck behind a gray door if he died at the wrong time.<br />
- Fixed a spot in Falcon Manor Easy where you could get stuck if you did things in the <blockquote>wrong</blockquote> order.<br />
- Fixed Knight Mansion Normal/Hard, room 15710, where Jack could pull the lever and then jump into the upper area where the scorpions were and get stuck. <br />
- Fixed editor so <blockquote>Open Room ID...</blockquote> will now prompt you to save your current room if you have made changes to it. (Previously, the changes would be lost if you opened a room using this menu command.)<br />
<br />
Get the update on the Download page.<br />
<br />
Note: I just realized I had also forgotten to mention that the editor also tellls you how many <blockquote>rugsacks</blockquote> (extra backpacks) are in the mansion in this version. I wonder what else I may have added that I've forgotten about, and forgot to put in the version history? Hopefully that's it.

<br />
you know that this is usually not very important to me, but I still find it very odd and a bit disturbing:<br />
<br />
Why do I have suddenly only 182 posts next to my name, although it used to be over 400 ??!! <br />
Also I have been <blockquote>downgraded</blockquote> to <blockquote><strong>Adventurer</blockquote></strong> whereas I used to be <strong><blockquote>Treasure Hunter</blockquote></strong> or something before !!!<br />
<br />
What is the reason for that, and why has it been done without notifyin' me ?!
Hi All,<br />
<br />
I desperately need some help in Doldrum Dungeon after the 3 (or 4th) save pedestal, depending on which side of the save pedestals you go to first. On the left side of the save pedestals is a huge maze of doors, jumps, gates and levers. I have gotten the two purple keys, blue and green key, and have made it all the way up to room #17500 after using the green key.<br />
<br />
My problem in this room is that once I pull the levers and get up into the top right area of the screen, jump thru the zappers, and pull the two levers and step on the tile that changes the bricks to gold, if Jack dies on the way back thru this difficult zapper (which he always has so far), Jack goes back to the entry point (mid left screen) with the levers returning to their original position, and there is no way to continue, or reset them, the only option is to start all over again from the save pedestal (a long ways away !!!) [smiley=cry.gif] [smiley=cry.gif] [smiley=cry.gif]<br />
<br />
Help !!! What do I do??? Am I doing something wrong??? [smiley=undecided.gif]<br />
thanks all, and take care,<br />
<br />
<br />
BTW; I love the rooms to the right of the two save pedestals, in that you can choose to do whichever rooms you please in any order, to get all the red keys, and some of the are doozies !!!<br />
<br />
Sandybean, a lost one here, and in Church too (Still awaiting a wee bit o help there)
I downloaded the latest version of Catacombs a couple of days ago and am thoroughly impressed by the latest sections! I think that my last download had only 4 or 5 sections... At any rate, I find all of Catacombs good, but the last three or so sections were just delightful. They were beautifully drawn, with good puzzles and interesting layouts and completely 'worthy' of being part of this fantastic project. Bravo to ALL the Catacombs designers!<br />

I got a report from a player that seems like it might be a legitimate mistake in the design of Knight Mansion normal. He's at the end of the mansion. He didn't open the teal door near the beginning, so he has an extra teal key at the end. But no purple key to open the purple area to the left of where he's currently standing in the attached suspended game.<br />
<br />
(Note: to use the attached suspended game, you must <blockquote>trick</blockquote> Midnight Mansion into accepting it by first doing Start Game, playing Knight Mansion Normal, suspending the game, and THEN dragging the attached file into the appropriate folder in Application Support / Midnight Mansion / Suspended Game Data / [Profile name] / <br />
<br />
and replace the suspended game in there. Then start the game, and choose Yes when asked to resume your suspended game. <br />
<br />
Or if that's too complicated, you can open up the saved game here. But regardless, there does indeed seem to be a shortage of purple keys at the end of this mansion.<br />
<br />
I noticed that if you cheat and give yourself a purple key to go to the area to the left, there is a secret area there with another purple key. I don't get this at all, unless the designer intended the player to FIRST open the purple door to the left, find the secret area, get that purple key, and THEN open the purple door to the right, that gives you a lantern. It's all rather confusing to me to try to figure out what the designer intended, which is why I'm asking here what people think.<br />
<br />
Clearly *something* is wrong with this mansion though. Various options:<br />
<br />
- Change the purple door leading to the lantern to another color (red?), and change the purple key in the hidden area to the left to red instead.<br />
- Change the left purple door to teal instead, so players that don't open the teal door at the start of the mansion can open this as a bonus at the end? (But then they might have an extra purple key when finished, if they get the one in the secret area to the left.)<br />
- Something else entirely? Maybe add a purple key to some room, and remove it from the secret area?<br />
<br />
This all will sound very confusing unless you open up the mansion, and do the <blockquote>Reveal Map</blockquote> cheat while paused, or use the editor, to study it for a bit, and THEN re-read the comments above, and then it'll all hopefully make sense. But I could definitely use some feedback as to what change people think I should make, and also, if you think Easy/Hard are affected by this?
Hey all, <br />
