Section 11

[brell]

Semi-Native, wait until Freddy answers this since he has a system for this. Didn't you get the original from him to build on anyway? I also think he would want to test it as well to check the special building rules for Catacombs.

Thanks, brell. Yes, I did get the original from Freddy. I just didn't know if beta testers had to go through the whole mansion or not. I'll wait for his reply.

it sounds logical though... Catacombs section 23498976234 ready for beta testing... it'll be ready in 3459872349879234 weeks after first having to play through the 23498976233 previous sections... [smiley=evil.gif]

I've got a question before I send Section 11 to my beta testers.
How do I fix it so they don't have to start at the very beginning, but just at my section. Do I change the starting room?

Thanks. It will be ready very soon. I just have to add the finishing touches.

You can change the 'Starting room ID' in the 'Mansion Options' (make sure you write down the original starting room ID first). To find out which room ID you want to start in, open the starting room and choose 'Room Options' (or Level Options, or command+L, I haven't done that in a long time).

You can always use your last saved game, too

Hi Toybox,

The file for building new sections is renamed

Catacombs Original

so using your last save probably wouldn't work. I can make a copy of the mansion with my new section, change the starting room and see if that works. With a copy, no harm done if it messes up.

You can make a copy and rename it 'catacombs', too (and put your current catacombs file somewhere safe).

Section 11 is now being beta tested. Hubby and I are going on vacation for a week starting this Thursday (10/23), so I'll make sure I get it to Freddy before we leave.

I take that as a hint that I should speed up in my beta testing

[Semi-Native]

Ha ha, I'm not worried. You and Sherry were both quick to test it, and I so appreciate it.

I'm really looking forward to see the new Catacombs section !
It seems to be close to release now...!!

As they say in Germany.....good things need a little longer. (Vaguely trasnlated)....
