Does anybody know what this means?

I tried the Rezilla thing and it didn't work. However: I started rebuilding the mansion already (I only had about 50 rooms, which are now almost completely rebuild) and came up with a better design along the way, so it doesn't really matter. Thanks anyways!

Alrighty then. Sorry it didn't work, but oh well.

Carrying on then. Good luck with the mansion and all that jazz.

Hmmm, this would be a question really only I could answer. Whenever you get an error message like that, it's something I'd have to look up in the game's source code, to see what couldn't be loaded. In this case, looking at my source code just now, the problem is that the 'LEVL' resource couldn't be loaded for that room.

The LEVL resource is what keeps track of your

Room Options...

settings (from the File menu). One exists for every room in the mansion... or at least it should. If it doesn't, something must've happened to corrupt your mansion somehow. If possible, delete the room in the editor, and create it again. This should create it properly, with the LEVL resource intact.

If anyone ever sees a cryptic error message like this, reporting a filename and line number and error code, email me at support [AT] actionsoft DOT com and I'll help you out.

Oh wait, I just realize that the *game* is giving you this error message when you attempt to open the mansion, rather than the editor. One possibility is that you set the

starting room

to a room that doesn't exist. Verify in

Mansion Options

in the editor that your starting room exists. If it doesn't, the LEVL resource is the first the game attempts to load, so it'd make sense why it wouldn't be able to find it, for a non-existant room.

Vern!

Sorry for not answering sooner but I had sort of forgotten about the whole thing since I took

Escape from Paris

to a different direction design-wise and hence didn't rely on what I did so far anymore. Thanks anyways for your input. If it ever happens again, this is what I'll try first!
