I recently got my Tower (Fellswick's Tower) ready to be Beta-Tested.
That's why I posted it here (why otherwise I would have put it here?), and if any of you have any errors, bugs, and problems with rooms, feel free to post, or if you want to add a little comment on my Hold, post too.

That's what I would have said, if I knew how to attach a Hold...
I know, I'm only a new here...
So, can any help me?
Then i'll add it. (After you've helped me, because now I can't really attach it, only because I don't know how, but you already knew that, wouldn't you?)(All I know is that you need to press 'browse' at the 'Attach File' section, but I can't seem to find my hold...)

EDIT: Whoa! 1:38 AM! Here it is 9:40 PM.
EDIT2:Here it is. 'Originally Created by David', that was my first account...
EDIT3:For the hold, look down in the page.

Well, Browse just lets you navigate your folders in order to find the the file you want to upload. So first...you have to make sure you exported your hold from the game. You can do that from the Where (in AE) or Choose Location (in JtRH) menu. The default location is in the Homemade directory, which is itself located in the Data directory of your DROD installation. So once you have exported your file and know where to find it, you can use Browse to attach it to your post.

As for the time issue...click Profile on the top of the page and then Modify, and make sure the time zone is set to the one where you live.

Game on,

Currently theres no way to exit the first level - in 1N, theres no way to drop the last trapdoor (you need some empty square to step on at the end.)

Edit - while I'm here I may as well mention - it seems 1N1W is required as well as a secret room. Usually secret rooms are marked as unrequired, but I suppose theres nothing to say that must be true.

Its also possible to get from this room to the exit room without needing to complete all rooms, so you may want an extra blue door somewhere.

You did not play through the hold yourself to make sure it was winnable before asking us to test it, and now I have reached an impasse at the first floor stairs. Make the last trapdoor normal floor.

Test each room as you make it. When it's all done, play through the whole thing. It's an easy way to spot bugs.

Give your levels descriptions.

When your walls are made entirely of rocks, the sudden presence of walls makes it very easy to tell a secret lies within.

Whoops.
I didn't notice the traps.
I'll modify and re-post, and for the play, i have tested each level, but for the first, i have forgot to test that room.

For the descriptions, look in my sig:
96%
1% is for updates
3% is for the descriptions and other thingies
and the rock-wall passages, it is made easy on the first level, but i will make more walls so we won't be able to see more of it.
After, i will re-attach the hold.

Btw, this is my first attempt to make a hold, don't be too harsh, please.

EDIT: Bugs should be now fixed, and sorry, i didn't have time to place descriptions...
Next time!
EDIT2:Hold 2 posts down!

Apparently not..

2nd level, 1W: after entering this for the first time, you can't do a single thing. No way to kill the tar without dying.

(By the way, you said not to be harsh and I don't want to be, but very trivial things like this should really have been found by you. You really should be able to play through the hold from beginning to end yourself before moving it to this forum.)

Forgot to edit that one...
Anyway, i'll attach the newly-unbugged (with least Tar in it) version!

EDIT:Hmph. Maked it to the last floor(with this nw version), but I can't seem to conquer the last room. The guardians are overwhelming me. Maybe I can't addapt as much as anyone. Here's the last version for now. If I find another bug, then I'll just make this hold; unfinished. I'll retreive it in some month, and I'll finish it then. (The edit is longer than the original message)

Still impossible I'm afraid - I progressed about another half a room before yet again finding it impossible to progress - you can't get past the 2x2 blob of tar at the bottom left of 1W.

I think I'm going to stop playing through this until you have played it yourself. Let me know when you are sure all rooms are possible.

Hmm. 2E in the second level (First Floor) is definitely not possible. Firstly, there is no way to clear all the trapdoors, and even if there was, there would be no way to exit the room after killing everything.

The entrance also seems to be impossible. Its easy enough to kill all the monsters; but to do so you have to end by killing the monsters in the area you started the level by the stairs, and in doing so there is no way to exit the room, again.

So I don't know how you could have made it past this floor if you really did play through it..

I did make too much trap on this one-and, if you have noticed, this room isnt needed. (Edit:... okay. made changes)
The entrance can be done, just dosnt exit with these stairs.
ah... i will just work on it and re-release it in some weeks.
I'm gone in vacation for 2 weeks...
