NEW UPGRADE - Teleporters Now Show as Matching!!

[Goofy_Bob]

I discovered this while doing a trade and then played with it to find out more:

When in your Stuff window, if you click on a teleporter, it's parter/matching porter will blink (well, the frame around it will).

Same when you're in trade, when you select one porter, the partner's frame blinks. (Near as I can tell, once the porters have been put into the actual trade they stop blinking, so there does not appear to be a way for the receiver to tell for sure they are getting a matched set - but at least for the selector it will show.)

If you select a porter from your Stuff window and the other is in your room, the one in the room starts blinking.

If you select any porter in a room, it's mate in the room will start blinking.

YAY!

That is so cool; whilst I haven't been on VMK for a while, I do remember the troubles with Teleport trading..

My daughter, JustMonkeyMe, just noticed that if you put down teleporters and click on one of them, the matching pair will light up with it! Woot!! No more wandering around trying to find the match.

Isn't it great!

Great news! I have only been carrying around 1 set at a time because it was so confusing.

now that is nice - and you can see how many stars something is (which i'm sure has been mentioned )

Sooooo glad, I always get my teleporters confused.

So, when I need to know which one matches the one I need, I used to lay them all out on the ground and randomly walk into them to see which one matches.

Me too, and I hated that! I was just like JulyGirl - only ever carry one of any type with me - but sometimes - especially when building a ride - that gets to be a pain!!!

All better now!

Whoa! I totally missed this thread! There's so much brain overload today.

Here's what I discovered:

1. Trades can be turned OFF. (Love that new button the toolbar!)
2. New hair styles for girls and boys (and PINK hair color choice)
3. 15 pins in the lanyard, AND you can see how many "stars" each magic
pin is!
4. New trade icon over people's heads, whenever they are in trade.
5. Pirates games are giving key magic pins, and lots of empty treasure.
6. Rooms changing! Halloween overlay in Main Street rooms and Mansion
Lobby, plus all new layouts for the ghost NPCs. And the really nasty new
graveyard room in the Mansion game! Egad.
7. New items for sale. Costumes in Golden Horseshoe and Small World
Imports, new stuff in Specials AND furniture in Emporium.
8. And now I hear about matching teleporters in the trade window. Whee!
9. Oh, and I saw the new VMK cast member costumes. I told Hula that
I'd like to take the backstage tour she's leading.

I am still a bit (ok, a LOT) giddy over these changes.

I don't think it's just the graveyard game room, I think there's some for the other rooms too. At least the one with the "elevator" thing had a different layout when I played it today.

The changes are FANTASTIC!

I especially like this teleporter change because it totally snuck up on us

Oh really? I haven't played more than a couple games of Mansion due to
Pirate Mania taking over, but the only "new" layout I encountered was
the graveyard. My response was "omg!" when I was trapped by ghosts.

I'll keep my eyes open for that Attic room!
