5/22/09 Man, I can't believe you guys were even playing this thing with some of the bugs I just fixed! I guess that's dedication for ya...lol Anyways, some pretty nasty and/or annoying bugs have been fixed (so far as I can tell until I let the public try to break it some more), including: 1) The one where the player starting the round was getting asked the "Do you want to join?" question for every other player 2) The one where a player starting a round could click the key icon repeatedly, and start multiple rounds at once 3) The one where it treats you as an AI if you witness an attack 4) The one where a round that didn't start due to having less than 3 players left you stuck without the ability to abort the round or start a new one 5) The one where ghosts on AutoPilot regain the ability to interact with things (including killing other players) 6) A whole list of other small bugs and improvements that have been reported or suggested (like the broken TV, extending the new Run ability's time length, etc.) Keep the bug reports coming, I know there are more! : ) 5/18/09 Just some more bug fixes, and I moved the Run ability out of the player actions, and into its own HUD button... Also added a stat display to the HUD... 5/16/09 Just a quick patch update to fix some bugs and address some issues and suggestions... -Hopefully, now only one person will be able to select a map at a time, and everyone else will automatically follow them to that map... -Clue Mode was not showing cards to players after they made a suggestion like it should have been... That should be fixed now... -I added a quick button to the interface to switch icon sizes between 16x16, 32x32, 64x64, and Stretch (click it to cycle through them) -Points should now be awarded to the Host for hosted rounds... 5/15/09 It's here... Please see my Member blog for more details, and post in the MM forum (also at my member page)! And for those of you that don't like change, and want to keep playing the old version: http://www.byond.com/members/SuperSaiyanGokuX/files/Games/ murder_mansion_old.zip Enter the Murder Mansion, and try to come out alive! |

There's a bug with the rag - when you drop it, then pick it up again, it becomes a candle.

why did u take murder mansion offline Kid, listen, the game being up or down has nothing to do with me... Anyone is able to open and host it, so if there's no game online, it's because no one else is hosting it... It's as simple as that... I'm not putting it up or taking it down... It doesn't have a full-time server... If you want to play it, either play it by yourself (simply click the download link, and run a game with the AI), wait for someone to host a game, or host it on your own... Stop asking here, because that's doing no good... | |

how can i be the host? When you open the game, the BYOND program has a button at the bottom right corner that says "Host" (next to ones that say "Chat" and "Alt"), you just click that, click OK in the box that pops up (you can change the options in the box, but generally there's no need to), and you're hosting! It's a function that's built right into BYOND itself, virtually all BYOND games have the ability... [Edit:] Oh, one thing to know, though, is that BYOND game hosting doesn't work if your internet runs through a router, unless you properly configure your router to allow the connection... So if you've tried to host with the Host button, but it doesn't seem to work, that's probably the problem... | |

The new version is here! Please bear with me, as I'm sure it will be full of bugs that only the beating of the public will bring out... I'll fix them as they're reported, though, until it's as stable as I can make it!

Run beats push. Both do the same thing if you know how, but run doesn't have a delay...

I havn't had the opportunity to play the new update much unfortunately, but i did manage to squeeze in some time on deathmatch(hospital, with bots) mode before work. Here are my thoughts so far.
regarding the interface; I think walk/run should be seperate from all other commands, its really annoying having to cycle through. Other than that I like the simplicity of the interface, although obviously it takes a bit more getting used to than "classic" MM but im glad its nowhere near as confusing as , oh, i dont know, space station 13 for example. Hospital map first impressions: Wow nice! blew me away! HOWEVER; I found that the map was rather too large and many of the sections were too far and unconnected to each other to give that creepy feeling that the murderer could be around any corner... it's clearly a map meant for a lot of players, which brings me to... delay; I don't know if it was my shitty computer but even playing with just 3 bots it was hard for me to move around effectively(classic MM was much smoother for some reason). This was the biggest factor effecting the game for me. Sorry for negative criticisms, but MM remains my favourite game on BYOND. Hopefullly ill get more time to play this week and put in some valuble feedback. Thanks! | |

I sort of had the thought that the "Run" ability doesn't really fit in with the other actions in the list, since it's the only one that doesn't require you to click on something... Plus, it made it impossible to be running and use a weapon at the same time (hence the addition of the "bump while running causes damage") I guess my main concern was not wanting to clutter up the interface any more than it already is, though in light of the issues with sticking Run into the action list, perhaps that's not a good enough excuse...lol I'll try to come up with something better... Maybe a button to push that switches you into Run mode, and then shuts off automatically after a certain number of steps/certain amount of time? Other than that I like the simplicity of the interface, although obviously it takes a bit more getting used to than "classic" MM but im glad its nowhere near as confusing as , oh, i dont know, space station 13 for example. I'm all about simplicity in control... It's one of the reasons I've stopped using the traditional verbs and verb panels in games I create... I honestly hate trying to play all of the BYOND games that have 5 or 6 panels, each filled with two dozen verbs... It just seems like such a hassle, and poor design... So, I strive for making things work with as few controls as possible, and so that they can all be stuck on a HUD (or now, on a BYOND skin as well) Hospital map first impressions: Wow nice! blew me away! HOWEVER; I found that the map was rather too large and many of the sections were too far and unconnected to each other to give that creepy feeling that the murderer could be around any corner... it's clearly a map meant for a lot of players, which brings me to... I'm glad you like! I understand the issue you have with it, though... I wanted it to feel like a real hospital; large, sprawling, twisty, maze-like hallways, etc. It still fell a little short of that goal, I feel, but I think it serves decently enough... But yeah, that resulted in a large place where players can be cut off from each other by huge distances... Heck, it's possible that players could play out a round and never run into each other on the map (whereas on the smaller maps, it's almost guaranteed you'd bump into someone now and then) And yeah, it is definitely suited to a larger number of players... delay; Don't worry, it's not your computer's fault... The Hospital map doesn't mix well with bots... The routines they use for finding their way around (which are called everytime they take a step) really bog down on this map because it is so large and complex... A game with many human players should be no problem, but toss in some AI, and it has a terrible pause at every step... Currently, it's the only map that has the issue (well, the campground map is pretty big, and it can see some slowdown, but not nearly as bad) It's an issue I fought with, and decided to give up on fixing...lol Sorry for negative criticisms, but MM remains my favourite game on BYOND. Hopefullly ill get more time to play this week and put in some valuble feedback. Thanks! No need to apologize, negative feedback is as useful as positive (heck, it's even more useful than positive) The only time I'd ever get upset by criticism is if it came in the form of "This gaem sux!" with any reason why...lol | |
