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.

Sprite Freezing bug
26.11.2007 at 23:57:17
 
This is a bit strange, but while I was playing the mansion for Nick's Deadly Cooking Episode 2...

I stepped on the floor switch to let the snakes fall, (in the third room, and the 2nd floor switch did it)
...and they fell onto the grey-disappearing things WHILE it was there,
read a BBB,
...and then after the I read the BBB everything froze...

Jack still could move, but if he went on the frozen snakes he didn't die! He just went ontop of them! Also, the grey ghost platforms did disapear, but for good. But the game still though there was a platform there!

Very strange! I don't know if this is exactly what I did, but I think this is... I ended up like in the picture.

P.S. This only works in the Midnight Mansion game on fullscreen mode. (not the editor)

For some reason, the picture won't come through and I get a message like this:

The "game bug" is one thing. The "forum bug" an other one. We have contacted Vern about both issues.

I think the forum bug is fixed. Please test anything that wasn't working before, and let me know if there are still any Forum problems.

Something which is not really a problem but which bugs me a little (pun intended Tongue)

Most of the time I browse the conversations without logging in, usually through the (new and improved) 'Last Postings' features, but sometimes by going into a separate conversation, when there are pictures or I need the backlog.

In that case, if I want to post a reply, I must log in. By doing so straight, I go out of the conversation, to the homepage of the forum: and this means, O tedium! that I must go and find again the conversation I just left.

I agree that it is only a minor annoyance, easily overcome by opening a new tab, logging in there, closing it and refreshing the old tab containing the conversation I wish to reply to. But still, it is untidy.

What surprises me....

why do y'all keep logging in and out...?    Undecided  Shocked

I just set my log-in status on "keeps" about 11 months ago, and now I'm always automatically logged in as soon as I open the forum pages.
Much more conveniant that way......  and since there is no "sensible" information on our forum pages I can see no danger in staying logged-in forever.

(I probably had to re-new my log-in, when the new forum software was up & running, but that's about it. Never had the slightest trouble that way....)
