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.

Darker Medusa Head
23.02.2007 at 12:37:37

Okay, so someone earlier brought up the question of why the darker medusa heads re-appear if you kill them with a shield, then come back into the room. This seemed like a bug to me (it seems that they should re-appear if killed with a flame, but should be permanently killed if you used a shield), but when I look at the source code, it turns out I *specifically* programmed it the way it is... that is, when making the game, I intentionally wanted them to re-appear, even if you used a shield to kill them. (Only if you die on the head, will it stay gone permanently.) This logic seems backwards to me now.

But... that's the way the game is. And I have a feeling that changing it now would cause quite a bit of controversy. But I'm not sure. What do people think? Should the dark-green heads stay dead if you use a shield on them? I'd be in favor of such a change, but I don't know if it'd mess up certain mansions people have done.

It's a very easy change to make, but just one I want feedback on first.

The light green are colored probe droids. But it's up to you, just wanted to get my vote in. I say leave it. Joe B
