Hi everybody !<br />
<br />
My name is aquaMat, I had introduced myself on the old forum just 2 days before it went down.... ><br />
I'm from Berlin, and I did follow the old forum for ages (since before it went down for the first time), even if I didn't actively participate until recently.<br />
I have played all of your wonderful (custom) mansions, and love almost all of them.<br />
<br />
I had started to build my first mansion in April 2006, called <blockquote>Palace Of Gore</blockquote>. The small version of it (Freddy proposed to call it <blockquote>Small Palace Of Gore</blockquote>) is finished since May, but I had upgraded it to the (bigger) 'Palace Of Gore' in the last couple of months.<br />
<br />
Currently I am already working on a new mansion, called <blockquote>Discotheque Of Doom</blockquote>.<br />
<br />
@Freddy + Wingy: Both of you offered to test-play my S.P.O.G. before the site went down, but I didn't write down your PM, and when the site suddenly vanished I had no means of contacting you..... !!   By now the large version is ready too....<br />
<br />

I'm wondering how to add custom music. Tried what the custom level docs. said but nothing happened. <br />
<br />
Can anyone tell me how to do it?<br />
Thanks!

With the start of these new boards I tried to create a system to make clear to all custom mansion players, about which edition of a mansion one is playing.<br />
<br />
Since the name itself of a (custom) mansion may NEVER change, for saved gamefiles-reasons, I thought that giving an extension to the name shown on the map was the easiest way.<br />
<br />
The idea was good. That means: I still think so. But for reasons of space AND style, I am going to change the appendixes. (Thx to Wingy and Brell for the style-remarks!) Each mansion will get something like 5.3. The <span style="color: #990033;">first cypher</span> being the <span style="color: #990033;">version</span> and the <span style="color: #00cc00;">second one</span> the <span style="color: #00cc00;">update</span>.<br />
<br />
Put into practice, the first cypher for all current mansions will be 1, except for Volcanis (Low) that gets 2 and Catacombs that will have 3. Those mentioned mansions got serious enlargements and aren't version 1 any more.<br />
<br />
The second character will always be 0, except for the few mansions that recently got one or more updates. That is why Midnight Mazes and Monsters gets 1.2 (first version &amp; second update) and Back to Square One 1.3 (first version &amp; third update).<br />
<br />
Updates will always be mentioned on the downloads-list with the date of release.<br />
<br />
I will also announce the changes of the individual appendixes. <span style="color: #cc6633;">But in these cases there is NO REASON AT ALL to download them again!</span> <br />

A few moments ago I launched update 2 of <span style="color: #ff9900;">Midnight Mazes and Monsters</span>. You will notice that the appendix after the name on the map is NOT <blockquote>Update 2</blockquote>, but <blockquote>1.2</blockquote>. In a seperate topic I explain why.<br />
<br />
There was a BBB-bug at checkpoint 4. And somewhere in the grey area it seemed to be possible to <blockquote>steal</blockquote> a secret without catching the real prize (a gold coin) as well. It would be a shame (for me) to let one finish with $ 499.950, isn't it?

During the <blockquote>time-out</blockquote> I received a new mansion via-via-via from AquaMatt aka Moof222 ? Do I have that right?<br />
<br />
We had a look at that mansion and decided to bring it on the boards at this forum, since it isn't finalized. It is a matter of what is common and uncommon in mansions. Dear new designer, please take contact with us. After you rearranged some things, we want to add it to the list of completed custom mansions.

Since EVERTHING is asked, answered and said about this mansion, it will stay the smallest topic ever!!<br />
<br />
Everybody: :-X :-X :-X

Open the topic with the subject <blockquote>Downloads</blockquote>.<br />
<br />
There appears a long alphabetical list of all completed custom mansions. Click on the name of a mansion you are interested in. You will be linked to an other page of the boards. On that page you will find some (technical) information about that mansion AND the zip-file you may download.<br />
<br />
It is the purpose that these pages in future also get the more general information of the mansions: story, approximative number of rooms, difficulty-degree, ...<br />
<br />
The checksums are a tool to verify if the downloading went perfectly.<br />
<br />
When you download your mansion(s), expand them in the Finder, and then drag the expanded *mansion* itself into the Custom Mansions folder of your game. Make sure that it is the mansion file yourself you are dragging. If it is in a subfolder inside of the Custom Mansions folder, you won't be able to open saved or suspended games in your custom mansion.<br />
<br />
IMPORTANT: To play the custom mansion, start up the game, click Start Game, and then click the Open Mansion button in the lower-right corner. (Instead of pushing Easy/Normal/Hard for the difficulty setting.) Now select the mansion you want to play, and you're off!<br />
<br />
Note that some pople have reported that download with Safari works better than with e.g. FireFox.

With this forum software that Vern gave us, it will be much easier to show screenshots etc. Below the message-box there is now a browse-bar for attachments. At the Speakers Corner I did a test with a jpg-file and it worked perfectly.<br />
