Hey everyone, Lately...like the past week, I have been at my PC more than usual. "Why" you ask...because I am having down time and this is what I like to do lately...Haven't gotten bored of it yet... This weekend and next week, I will be packing up our house. We are going to Malaysia for 4-6 months. It's an oversea assignment my husband is doing. My PC will be shipped over of course. I hope I can download my Mahjong to my husband lap tap for the plane ride...any one have any ideas on how to....? When we come back we will have a new place to stay.... Anyway, I was thinking of a new game to play....Kind of like the color game...but with ideas for tilesets, themes or such....It would be fun to start a theme, we could all take turns...and see what tilesets we all come up with.... What do you ladies and of course any gentlemen think?

Wow that is but a adventure.
I hope you know how to backup and win-zip the player folder? After you send it to something like a yahoo email address. I mean an email address that is on-line. Hotmail would be fine too.
You send the zipped player folder to this email address. Install the game on the laptop. Go from laptop to on-line email address. Download the zip file. Unzip and put it in the game.
I think Oleta's layouts will make nice themes for tilesets. As I have not enough time to cover them all myself, I can use a hand. Who will create which layout tileset?

Thank you lovely Gerda for your suggestion re: backing up and win-zipping folder. Not sure how to do it. But, my husband should know how....
I will be glad to help...delegate a letter of the alphabet to do and I'll do it.
;D ;D

Idea of Oleta is also a good one. Don't forget to drag you Player tilesets as well.
If you go off line for a while it might be an idea to make several my files. The file called "my"contains the layouts in the favorites list in the game. You can easily rename the my file or winzip it. In game kick out all the layouts and create a new one by downloading other layouts. Then you go out of the game again and into the player folder and rename or winzip the my file again. I think some 50 layouts in a my file is max to keep the game playing nicely. Then having played a list of layouts, you delete the my file in the player folder and rename another back into: my Or unwinzip a zipped my file like my1.zip.
The letters are all covered. I mean the other layouts she made. I will look up the names.

Such awesome and impressive advice. You gals, certainly do not travel without your MTE....LOL I don't recall getting a Big Fish game disc. If I have, I probally threw it out. now I know not to. Thanks Oleta....good info. Gerda, I will definitely start backing up my player folder. I just came across saved info from Big Fish after purchasing game...here's what it says: The license you have purchased is only valid for your computer. In the event of a license loss, a change in your computer's configuration or if you wish to install the software on additional computers, you will have to RENEW your license by providing us with the Activation Code. You have the right to acquire 5 license RENEWALS without charge. To renew your license, you must reinstall the original program you were using. Click on the "Already Paid" link. Enter your activation code from above, and start using the program again. It's that easy
Can we rename this thread or move info that does not have to do with "new game idea"? Sorry...my fault because I stuck two types of subjects within this thread.

Now, about new game idea..... I am sorry that I didn't get a chance to help out with Oleta's Alphabet Layout tilesets... I would've enjoyed that. When everyone is done, maybe we could agree on a new game idea.... ?

In my opinion the thread name covers the subject. It is about installing game new. It is possible to quote and paste the posts in a new thread. But they come with your avatar. For that I don't like to do that. I think it is best to let this thread be.
We need two more threads. 1> Tileset Themes. It already exist one about Halloween. Hmm.... Actually I think creators like to post their tilesets in their own thread. Ah, they can do both of course. 2> Forum Game Ideas. Here one can share ideas about starting new game. But you can also start a game and see what happens.

Thank you Oleta. I downloaded game off internet, so, I don't have a game disc. But, I can always get a free download here: d.trymedia.com/d/bigfishgames/1h_pkg531_7/bfg12y0xenxx1/en_mahjongtowersetern_inst.exe Gerda, I feel that this topic is about installing existing MTE on another PC. Therefore, I think it should be called "Info on game installation" This topic is not about a new game idea. I will start a new thread re: new game ideas.... I cannot find an existing thread re: Forum game ideas or tileset themes I entered topics in search and found nothing. hmmmmm...

That's because they do not exist yet. One can not find what is not in. As it are your ideas, I thought best for you to create them. I only made a few suggestions.
Hmm. If you rename first post of thread new posts go by that name, but the ones in between have to be modified manually. If you want to do that, go ahead.

I'm embarassed Gerda, I thought you meant tileset themes already existed ... I was confused. I know not how to move things around...If it is troublesome, than yes your advise is good to just let things be. I will leave this post alone then. I can't help but think that if people want advise or help about installing game on another pc, they won't find it under this topic... Oh well, it bothers me a little but I will get over it. It's done then... Thanks for your advise. I agree with you about the two threads re: games. Let me know when everyone is done with the alphabet....

Ahh, now am sorry. I did not want you to feel embarressed. This is Chat Garden. We can talk about whatever we want to. Why not where ever we want? Forums are messy as is. You will be suprised, peeps looking in the wrong direction for answers and being suprised to find them. As they ask questions in wrong board, because they can not find the answer. Or ask in right board with answer in another thread right below their new made thread. lol. That is OK. Forum is for fun. If we are able to answer the questions (sometimes over and over again), players can go on playing their beloved game and having fun.
