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.

Dominator beta testers
12.02.2007 at 07:50:44
 
OK before you volunteer some specifics:

1. It will be a BIG upload.
2. You MUST know how to move the 3 mansion resource files to a safe place and replace them with the custom files. Screens and music as well.
3. You will need some MM skills, newbies will get frustrated. This is a medium hard to hard mansion.
4. Jack has been totally replaced with JAC (Just Another Cyborg). It takes a little getting used to.
5. I've played the entire mansion about 5 times but we're sure there are dozens of little bugs, there always are.
6. There are 132 rooms and most of what you are used to with MM doesn't apply as far as platforms, ladders, switches, money (replaced with batteries and battery packs), keys (replaced with access cards), doors, etc., etc. are concerned
7. Looking for four testers. We'll send the files to you directly at the end of this week. 2/16/07
8. Looking for JAC stucks, overly difficult rooms, anything that will get the admins upset.
9. There are "sins" in this mansion although minor. All of them can generally be overcome with either speedy fingers or patience. The fun of Dominator is figuring when to use which.

Please PM us if interested.

Thanks,

Matt & Joe

Thanks Freddy. I'm assuming this is the correct procedure for getting a mansion released? Also, at what point does it get it's own topic? I foresee tons of questions on the graphics, sound and play.

Thanks again,

Joe B

If I may:  YES, this is the correct procedure.  We give a mansion its own topic when the thread grows to 4-5 pages or around 50 posts.
