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.

Conveyor belts
30.01.2007 at 06:02:44

I'm making a room for Smallsome Swicks, in which some moneybags are going to be pretty tricky to get. In order to get them, I want Jack to have to turn on some conveyor belts. However, I can't seem to make the room start with conveyors off. I've tried making the conveyorbeltlever do "default action" like some moving platform levers I've made, but this doesn't seem to work.

Then, in order to get the money, Jack needs to re-activate the belts. I guess it should work this way....

Unwanted solution: even if you add a second switch, the jump time will make the conveyor belts run for that time and mess things up. Jack also approaches this room from a vine. Yeah, I suppose I could tweak it to work differently, but.

I'll look into this later today. There may be a good reason why this is the way it is, so I'm not guaranteeing it'll change.

I'm not sure if this is related, but you can't have a lever that reverses conveyor belt direction which makes the action permanent when leaving and re-entering a room. It'd be great if this were possible - and I had to use an inelegant brick-switch workaround due to this behavior in a revision to Falcon Manor.
