I just read my last post and I didn't understand it! :frown: Anyway, I've been offline since Saturday but many bugs have been reported:

(FIX): Level (/Area) 1 - No invisible platform any more. πŸ™‚ Old bug.
(FIX/UPDATE): All Quest Levels - Chang(ing) all Sprites (Until I have time to create a new Sprites file containg all my Sprites and send it off to Cybergran so I know why they're not showing up! :mad: ) to regular ones so testes can play Council (and soon Rebel!) quests.
(FIX): Area 2 - Blue guy conversation ID.
(FIX): Area 3 - Mine cart easier to use. Yes, Ice, finally. πŸ˜„
(FIX): Area 4 - Transporter deleted.
(FIX): Area 5 - Conversations both given new IDs. :mad: I hate that bug! My own stupidity is the cause for over around 90% of the bug in My World!

Well, that's it. I'm going to upload version 1.11 as soon as I can. πŸ™‚

(url="http://"http://homepage.mac.com/mdwgmalc/.Pulic/malcolmworld.sit")http://homepage.mac....alcolmworld.sit(/url)

(Beta Testers ONLY. It needs a password. πŸ™‚

Beta Testers Note: I should have included this in the notification e-mail, but it requires a new game be started, due to Sprite reconfigureation, etc.

(FIXES): About twenty fixes in the first few levels. (I recruited a new tester not s long ago, and she's been very good. :))
(UPDATE): Website updated, I've made some nice logos, added a counter, rearranged the text, added screenshots... and a bit more...

That's about it. This message could heve been much longer, if I had included all the bug fixes and all the website updates!!

No problem.

However, there's a problem on your site: The screenshots link goes to Ambrosia SW, not a screenshots page.

(FIX) - Not even my beta testers will know what I'm talking about but I've fixed some junk involving crunc tiles in level 3
(FIX) - Buttons etc.
(FIX) - Traps problem. πŸ™‚
(ANN) - Beta testers, due to the fact that I just fixed a fatal error, version 1.12 has been released; containing quite a few ( :D) bug fixes but (infortunately) no new levels. Nobody's reached Forest Fire yet, anyway, so who cares? (url="http://"http://homepage.mac.com/mdwgmalc/.Public/malcolmsworld.sit")Download it here.(/url)

Just thought I'd ask... πŸ˜›

(UPDATE) - Website images improved/added/recreated.
(FIX) - Ok, PCheese, i've finally got around to fixing the screenshots link!

(IMPORTANT Beta Comment) - At the (url="http://"http://homepage.mac.com/mdwgmalc/")Malcolm's World Homepage(/url), to view the current Beta Status, click the bottom link at the 'More Pages/Links' section. The latest version of Malcolm's World will also be available for download there, as well. When I can be bothered, I'll upload the (improved) page with the download link, etc. Also, when you click the link (image) If you're using Netscape you'll be prompted to enter the password (It's the same one used to unstuff Malcolm's World) but I tried viewing my site in Explorer (v. 5.1) and I wasn't shown any text asking or the password; just a box for the password to be entered in. I dunno why tis happens, and if anyone could tell me I would very much appreciate it! πŸ™‚

That is lucky. Even though I have a single beta tester, she's I LizWiz, which is the same as having 100 Beta Testers πŸ˜›

OK, I have not had enough time to record my stuff, but this is my best effort...

- - - - - - - - - -

(FIX) - Crunch tiles.
(FIX) - Conversations.
(FIX) - Lack of sprite activation from conversation.
(FIX) - Mine cart's now possible to easily and successfully use. πŸ™‚

(ADD) - New level, Habnabit Delight : Habnabit heaven, gone wrong.
(ADD) - New sand level, Beached (The name will probably change, 'cause it's not exactly... fitting... for a level in the middle of the desert and with no water in it...)

(FUTURE PLAN) - Create Ice Level, Frostbite. Yes I know that was my 'future plan' a looong time ago. πŸ˜›
(FUTURE PLAN) - Create Council/Rebel link, on mission 4. (I know you won't have a clue what I mean, but I'm just posting my progress!)
(FUTURE PLAN) - Create Fire Level, NO NAME ; Does ANYONE have any suggestions? I suck at that sorta stuff. πŸ™‚ :mad:

(USEFUL INFO) - I decided to show the missions, in case anyone's interested, particularly beta testers.

Here's how they're sorted:

<Mission Name>:<Person or Government it's associated with> <Mission number of that string>; Area (level) it can be found in>.

Council:

Find Rez. Necklace:Council 1; Area 2.
Destroy Rebel Camp:Council 2; Area 1.
Kill Traitor:Council 3a; Area 2. (Rebel link)
Report Killed Traitor:Council 3b; Area 1.
Good Samaritan:Council 4a; Area 13.
Destroy Hired Manditraki:Council 4b; Area 13.

Rebellion:

Rescue Spy:Rebel 1; Area 2

NOTE: That that mission isn't started yet, but it won't take too long and I'll only release 1.15ß3 when that's done. πŸ™‚
