Re: On my wish-list - Freddy - 02-17-2007
Since the future Custom Mansions World High Scores List only can be made by manual work, I am afraid that it only will be possible to bring FINISHED mansions into account.

In this era of digital retouching, not even screenshots prove anything. I could go into photoshop and make my screenshot say anything at all.
Still, we can agree to be honest, and the honor system mostly works with small groups of people.

I have the solution! We promote ryos to the chief of the CMWHL and we send him our ... movies. No more cheating!!! I suggest we start with MMaM. Movies from 6 to 12 hours each ... ;D ;D 8-) 8-)

I've tried to get a movie from Rose, everyone, but it wouldn't work! My computer would'nt reconize the data! MM wouldn't open it! Vern? :-? I think this is something on the to-do list. Well we can easily get a camera and point it at the screen and record the computer.

Try having her zip the movie before sending it. Hopefully that'll do the trick.

I remember that Psychotronic had the same problem with his computer. He couldn't receive MM-movies unless they were ... zipped. Odd, but it worked.
Re: On my wish-list - Wingy - 02-17-2007
Ooohhh.... It might work... anyways... People should try to send movies of them beating mansions! I'd love to watch people sit there for 80 minutes playing a mansion! ;D

BACK TO THE TOPIC.
I see two problems about making a Custom Mansion High Scores List.
1° In contrary to the included mansions, custom mansions are much more changing. And any change of a mansion may have consequences for secrets, dollars and time. Example. Once, I reported a Jack-stuck to a designer. He was so nice to fix that silver/gold problem by adding an extra lever AND because of the inconvernience he also added a few moneybags. Very nice gesture, but ... Or more recently: the changes in Happy Christmas! and Sky Boxes certainly have their consequences.
2° The LIST itself. When the list is one post with the ten highest scores of all (now 57) custom mansions, than it will be an extremely long post. But when I make a board with a topic for each custom mansion, than there will be many pages with topics AND sorting topics is NOT possible. A topic is fixed to the date and time it got started.
It is even possible that an upgrade of the MM-game itself influences the high scores. But that is the same for the included mansions of course.

What if you put the version beside the score? :
