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.

This Tread is for all StarCraft Episodes 2 and up. Episode one is in the other tread. Here's the second episode! Just finished testing it and I'm pretty sure there's no bugs! (Unless someone finds some!)  Wink Here you go! Enjoy!  Cool

@Freddy
: Any idea when Episode one will be on "the list?"

EDIT: Updated! I replaced old starcraft_ep2.zip with newer starcraft_ep2v1.1.zip.  Smiley

Attachment removed by Freddy to avoid confusing. This mansion is now downloadable at the List of Completed Mansions

See "How to upload a mansion" at Custom Mansions Area / List of Completed Mansions. The ONLY demand for a new custom mansion is, that it has been beta-tested thoroughly. Since that has not happened before you posted it at Free Up- & Downloading, I suggest to wait a few weeks for reactions on the boards.

Try to see it this way.
Arevn's Mansion
and
Palace of Gore
are in a period of serious tests since a few weeks. It wouldn't be honest to these colleague-designers if your mansion should get listed without being tested.

Hi!
Ther is one thing I would like to make you aware of and that is that in room 16101 Jack has to stand on the lava to be able to jump up to the first grey block. I don't think it is faire, he should be able to jump while having at least his heels on the tile. This is not just a "problem" in this mansion but it was a bit extreme here.

JAck is still having fun exploring new mansions!

Wingy, I found a few minor issues in your StarCraft Episode 2:

In room #16299 I have the feeling there is the wrong text on the BBB. (It's the same text as on the BBB of room # 16303).

In room #16098 the right blue key cannot be picked up 'properly', only if Jack turns his back to the key. I'm sure beginning players are not aware of this phenomenon, and might get highly frustrated, because they can not pick up that blue key at the right, even if they were able to pick up the key on the left (by ducking forward).

There are a few more minor issues and, BTW, the first BBB (in Episode 1) has a couple of errors (grammar and spelling etc.) and 2 words that appear double.....

Apart from that, I'm surprised at how fast you put out Episode 2. It's great !!!   Cheesy

He doesn't have to be on the lava. You just stand at the edge of the lava!  Wink But I suppose newbies wouldn't figure that out... So I guess I'll make it closer in the next update!

1°: Hmm... thats funny... Im positive I set that BBB to I.D. 128! Anyways... I fixed it. It will be up in the next update. Also, I think I fixed the bad grammer in episode one. I updated episode one.

2°: I suppose you're right about newbies not being able to get at the blue keys in that factory. I make the belt longer so it comes right to Jack.

Glad you like it. I'll update it very soon.
Cheers,
Wingy

@Freddy: Why does AquaMat's mansion, Faces, get put on the list before any of my StarCraft Episodes?!  Angry Oh and when you do, make sure you put all the episodes in one .zip file and name it "StarCraft Episodes"  Smiley

Hmmm... I can't get all the secrets in StarCraft2! Argh!

I'm on the last screen where there are three switches, I see what they do but not how they help me get to $10,000. I've been over the mansion like three times but can't find the last secret. Pooooooooo!

Help?

EDIT: Nevermind, found it. I am SOOOO impatient. Cheesy.
