Thanks everyone for all your comments, questions and queries etc. Especially Rob, who really has made me thinking about easy mode. Also rose, Missy, Semi, all of you guys are great.
Here are the changes I shall make:
16101 Easy / Normal - Wine Fumes instead of Fumes of Wine on the sign.
15499 All - The levers can all now be pulled multiple times.
15698 Hard - Removing the spider; replacing with a snake.
16097 Hard - The fish has been moved over a space so it won't kill Jack on the central platform (Near the right edge).
15102 All - Trigger will be permanent in opening the grey door.
15500 Hard - A conveyor belt has been lowered to prevent players from going on them from above.
15498 - The first falling platform has been made bigger.
16499 - Monsters repositioned a bit.
15701 - Removed a fish, moved the ghosts a bit.
16901 - The lever to activate the platform resets when you re-enter now.
16101 - A platform hovering on the bottom has been added to maybe catch unlucky players.
15897 - Replaced the fish with an annoying bird.
15693 - Removed a spider.
15499 - Removed the save point, seeing it was right beside the one at the end of the section.
Along with some minor changes (bricks added here and there, graphical glitches, etc)
On a side note, Rob and Missy - About room 15693 - Try the 'technique' of jumping THEN moving and you should have better luck. The spider is going to be gone, after all, anyway.
On what you said about easy mode, Rob, I would very much consider what you said but I have so much work to do. Jasperlone Easy and Hard are my priorities right now, followed by Mount Peril Easy and Hard modes. I'll think about what you said for their easy modes. If I find time after, I may go in and make some changes. Nothing I can really do about making the mansion small, though, without reconstructing the whole thing.
I'm sorry if hard mode was too big (biggest mansion so far, as far as built-in ones go with about 150 playable rooms) but I really wanted the hard mode of Basano to be quite hard and quite long. Because, well, mainly this was the mansion that got me into doing what I do here designing for Vern) and I wanted to have it in all its glory in its hard mode.
Try Leofani Manor, Rob, tell me what you think, from easy to hard, if you don't mind.
