A new star is born

Hi There,

I have been working hard on Immortal Ruins, and have now got the outline for the 'mansion' done.  It's not really a mansion per se, as it takes Jack above and below ground, and into some old buildings along the way.

With the outline it will be about 120 rooms, so still a bit of work left to do, as I only have 85 rooms complete, and most of those still need to be tested.

I am sending along a screen shot, I hope this works. :-? :question

aquaMat and Mikee;  Thanks for the words of encouragement, I hope it does not disapoint. [smiley=dankk2.gif]

Nick;  I did play your testing mansion, and found I needed to brush up on a few of my skills, thanks for making a place to help Jack improve his steps! 8-) :-?

take care all,

OK :-? :o

Well....... Obviously that didn't work, so maybe one of you computer savvy folks could explain how it is you get those marvelous screen shots right in your posts?  Open and viewable without any clicking or downloading?

I am using an iMac and presently have the screen shot on my desktop as a 'png'.

Thanks in advance, [smiley=dankk2.gif]

We'll this is a .png screenshot right here... directly from the desktop with no edits from the screenshot...

Try this: You might be doing something differant.

Open the editor or MM in windowed mode to make it easier, then open what room you want room you want to screenshot, press COMMAND + SHIFT + 4 (in that order one after the other). Select what area you want to screenshot, then release the mouse button. Go to the desktop, find picture 1 or whatever.

Attach picture 1 to a post with the nifty attachment thing.

If it still doesn't work, open picture 1 with preview. In the file menu, press

save as...

and save it as a JPG (aka JPEG). Attach the JPG version to a post.


Also,,, if you didn't know, you can get rid of that weird blue

?

by editing your post up there, and select

attach new file

to that menu in the attachment section of the post modify.

Right !!! LOL !!! [smiley=shocked.gif]

I'm already dreaming of Jack being trapped somewhere, every night when I go to sleep. Does anyone else get this symptom when building a mansion? Or am I just obsessed by MM? ..... AAAAAGGGGHHHHH I can't get Jack out of my head ! [smiley=evil.gif]

We will see what the future brings regarding more mansions.

You ain't see nothing yet! 8-)

I have the honour to be beta-testing SandyBean's first mansion. And believe me, it is a good one and at places really tough. But what surprises me ... ... NOVELTIES : :o

Shivering skeletons, windmill-fishbones, ... Oh yes, we haven't seen everything from Midnight Mansion (non-EP) yet. Over 100 rooms are awaiting you. Soon.
