SC1-2 > StarCraft

This mansion is called StarCraft. It's going to have to have custom art, which I'm working on. Here's a screenshot of a room. Bty, the mansion's name is StarCraft because most of my art is related to the awesome masterpeice by Blizzard Entertainment... StarCraft :: Broodwar.

Here's the screenshot:

As you can see, the money is abit different, and Jack is stuck on a space platform! In the game StarCraft, you need Minerals, (Blue Crystal) and Vesvain Gas. (Gas Containers) Also, there's no life up there but Jack. There's just robots in the way!

I'll finish it... in awhile.

Btw... Have anyone ever played StarCraft? There's a free demo at this address:
http://www.blizzard.com/starcraft/macscdemo.shtml
Most of the bad guys are not related to StarCraft, Undecided

but just robots. You need classic to play the demo. The full version you can get a installer to make is OS X. Cool

I've been drawing new bad guys and tile sets for like... 5 hours? Wink

@Vern:

You said you couldn't edit sprites. Well uh... how come I can?

Wingy, as I said before.... of course it is possible to edit sprites (in the Midnight Mansion Sprites resource map), it's just not possible to do it in the resource file of your mansion (as it is with tiles).

I'm currenty doing custom graphic sprites myself...and it's a lot of fun !!

Its easy to get another background, Frost! You simply get the image you want, like I went to StarCraft's Wallpaper gallery and got that one. If the image is too small, it automaticly makes it a pattern. Once you have your image, you rename it, background8.jpg (Rename the extention) and put it into: /midnight mansion (folder)/game data/screens/
Then when you select it in the editor, you can select another backround! You can keep renaming differnent images. (e.g. background9.jpg, background10.jpg) Remember, the image has to be .jpg or .png. Wink

The mansion will need an accompanying read-me-first textfile with instructions for adding the backgrounds and/or the music at the right place(s). And you have to take care about RIGHTS. Don't use anything that result in bills send to Vern or whoever. Including yourself!

I renamed my own music, put it in the right place, told the editor to play it in a sertain room, and I got a error window pop up when I played the mansion!

Make sure you've read and agree with the rules of posting here! The forums are run by three administrators. Read here who they are and what you may (and may not) expect from them. A brief history of the game At first there was Midnight Mansion, now often called MM1. This game package was for Mac only and contained 8 mansions, each on easy, normal and hard level. Above that there was a builder included, so that customers could design mansions themselves. Then there was Midnight Mansion HD, now abbreviated as MM1 HD for both Mac and Windows. It contained the 3x8 mansions from MM1 plus 3x a bonus mansion: Tomb of Princes. All in high definition! Actionsoft's latest game, Midnight Mansion 2: The Haunted Hills, includes 28 mansions with a lot of new features. The 8 built-in mansions have 3 difficulties along with 4 extra custom mansions. Yes indeed, the MM2 package also has an included builder to create mansions! Custom mansions In the past decades several customers started experimenting with the builders. Creating rooms. Talking about it on the Midnight Mansion Forums. Sending their own designed mansions to other board members to test them. And finally sending them to the administrators of MMF. Result? Nearly 200 extra mansions are downloadable from these boards and some of them have over 100 rooms. If you like to download custom mansions, go to the General Custom Mansions Area (Mac and Windows) where you find the lists with all the download spots.
