Downloading and beginning testing as we speak.

Downloaded the update and put it in the Custom Mansions folder, but it's grayed out. I can't start the game.

Edit: I meant I can't start the mansion.

aquaMat, the version that I first tested was from 11-15-2009. However, the new 2010 version that I downloaded a little while ago has all of the same issues I noted above. In fact, I didn't notice any changes in the mansion???

In addition to all of the above, I have a few other comments:

In 13105, when Jack enters from the left, it's a cheap death because he's almost sure to step off the ledge and go crashing to the ground. :-X

I couldn't figure out a purpose for the helpful trolls in rooms 14706 and 14105.

Only got 76% secrets. :'(

Hi All, soooooo is the newer version of this mansion in the link that you sent to all of us?  Because I have a total Jack Stuck and cheap deaths right off the bat!

This happens when you try to open a mansion in

Beta 1

that is created with a Beta version earlier than that. (Until 2 days ago I still used

MM Expansion Beta 7

(which is more than 2 years old).
However, Vern has created a little app that can

update

any older mansions to be compatible with

Beta 1

.

I thought he would have used that app himself on the last update I sent him, on all newer ones I did it myself.
Maybe he accidentially uploaded the wrong mansion file ??

This can't possibly be !!  Between the one you were playing (1.4.3) and the one Vern has just posted (1.4.7) were 3 or 4 update stages that I haven't even given out. 
Even if there weren't many BIG changes, a whole lot of small things (like the JS on the roof of 12903) have been fixed / improved.  Also a lot of design issues (layer-0 and layer-6 mostly). Maybe it's the wrong one you got?
Please go into

Mansion Options

and check the version number !

As for the new findings you reported, give me a few hours to check them out.

BTW, I have currently version 1.4.8 ready. I'm not quite sure if I'll send this to Vern right now - he has suggested that I could as well upload it myself - though I'm not sure I know how that works....  8-)

aquaMat, it is indeed version 1.4.7 that I played, and all those problems were still there.

Hopefully your new version will have gotten rid of all those things.

I just played through version 1.4.7 one more time (I even re-downloaded just to make sure I had the latest version available).

Finally got 100% secrets, which may be a first for me for one of your mansions, aquaMat!

12903 - Jack stuck still exists.

13102 - Jack can still get out on the ledge and must die to get back.

14702 - Jack can still slide down the pole from 14502 (jumping from the ledge with the lever) without the necessary red key which results in a Jack stuck.

12904 - Save point - Jack still cannot get back to the left. If he forgot that green key in 12902, he's stuck.

12894 - Death by fish HAS been corrected (sorry, I didn't note that before)

14696 - vine jump HAS been corrected (same as above - sorry!)

Thanks, aquaMat. I'm looking forward to the new version so we can get it tested before you have to be away.

New version? From where? Are there new versions of the other mansions too?

[Semi-Native]

Hi rose,

Vern posted a newer version (1.4.7) in this forum. Look farther up for his post. aquaMat also has version 1.4.8 of Trigger Island coming soon.

And no, so far there are no newer versions of the other mansions.
