I have Pages. However, I'm unable to repeat your problem on my setup (Snow Leopard 10.6.2). I did repeat the mouse cursor problem though, so I'll look into getting that fixed.

After a crash in Safari today when having MM" open with a small window (resume etc) I had to do a restart of the computer. I found some recovered files that had to do with something called iGetter which I thought I had deleted long time ago. Anyway now it seems the problem has gone away, at least for the time being.

I've got a new feature in the next version of the editor:

Find sprite in mansion...

that searches all rooms in mansion for the currently selected sprite in the editor's list of sprites.

This is SUPER useful for things like

Now what room did I put the lantern in again...?

or

Do I have more than one lantern in this mansion?

As well as if you're merely curious how many enemies of a certain type you have, or whatever.

It can also be used for counting keys and doors, but if I have time I'll add a new dialog just for that purpose too.

[VernJensen]

Rose -- Safari can easily crash due to any number of things, and the Flash plugin is particularly notorious for causing crashes. My guess is some plugin in your browser caused the crash.

[VernJensen]

Okay, so I went ahead and added key/door counting to the level builder.

This count is from Jasperlone. Not sure if the mis-match indicates a problem.

[Wingy]

Yeah, I forgot to add a secret near the end which requires a yellow key. Should be in the latest version I sent you of Jasperlone.

Mansion Level Builder aka MLB

As testers sometimes we have to make changes in MLB aka Editor, so that we can continue testing, as certain mansions have problems that prevent us from continuing.

Some of us testers tried doing just that, but when we try to open the SAVED or PAUSED game after we made changes in MLB, a pop up appears stating that the game cannot be open because we modified the original.

So we have to start the game from the beginning & not from where we left off! In MM #1 we did not have this problem.

How can this be fixed????

Hi Vern et al -
I've been playing the mansions and finding various problems that have been reported by other players. In some mansions it is hard to sift out what has been and has not been reported as well as references to fixes or repaired versions of the mansions. Are there repaired mansions to be downloaded or are problems still being compiled before newer versions are released?
Thanks

I hear rumours of a weekend beta update... Shh! :o

[rose]

If there is coming an update I think we should have new boards so it is clear that the posting is concerning the updated versions and not the first version. It is already getting to be to many pages to read to see if a problem is already posted. I don't want to repeat what others have found al ready.
I also wish that the postings preferably got posted after the mansion is been played through and not after each small encountered problems. That way we can keep down the numbers of posts.
