Actionsoft's latest game, Midnight Mansion 2: The Haunted Hills,  includes 28 mansions. The 8 Built-in mansions have 3 difficulties along with 4 extra custom mansions. We don't have that many other custom MM2 mansions yet. Design your own custom mansion! Info below.  You can find out more about the game here.

The original Midnight Mansion game contains over 150 mansions. The 8 included mansions which have 3 difficulty levels each, and about 115 approved custom mansions which you can download here and also several freely uploaded mansions. To know the difference between these three types of mansions, click here.

Are you a creative person and thinking of designing a mansion yourself? Or want to know about how to upload it? Click here and we'll show you! You'll find guidelines for betatesters here.

News:
Midnight Mansion 2: The Haunted Hills version 1.0.2b has been released. This fixes a bug in Jasperlone Mountains Hard. Simply re-download the game, bring over your custom mansions folder from the old version and play on. All your saves and high scores will not be changed.

Midnight Mansion HD (MM1) is now available at the Mac App Store and at the Actionsoft website. A Windows version is now available.

Here is a list of downloadable MM1 HD ready custom mansions, which also work in the Windows version of the game.

The MM2 custom mansion Hanging Gardens of Babylon by Freddy/SandyBean/Josephine/brell was updated on 19. Nov 2023 to add a fourth section. Available here

Well, for those who wanted custom sprite replacement on a per-mansions basis, just like you have been able to do with tiles since 1.0.4, your request is now granted in the upcoming 1.0.8 release. Smiley

Wingy,

I posted my tutorial on the board a week or so ago. Let me know what problems you're having and I'll see if I can help.

Yeah, I'm afraid the reason why ResEdit is required to edit signs is due to legacy code.... If I allowed editing of signs from within the editor, you'd be limited to a maximum of 255 *characters* (not words) per sign, which isn't much! It's due to the limitations of the legacy dialog code I'm using.

There isn't any way to write directly to the text resource from within the editor?

The limitation is not in whether or not you can write to the resource, but how many characters the editor's legacy dialog code will let you type. At least, that's what I got out of Vern's post.

Vern,

Are you using XCode (Cocoa) or Codewarrior? I didn't think XCode had that limitation. I know CodeWarrior has the pstring type (based on the old pascal string type which was 255 characters.
