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.

According to http://www.acronymfinder.com it means Spaghetti Bolognese  Wink

I must second this post though. Please write out the full name of the mansion, at least in the thread name!

Yes and no. Of course I could and probably should have done it. And will fix it anyway.

But when going to the list sorted by date,
Small Palace of Gore
is of course shown on top. Not that difficult when one is interested in downloading this mansion, I think. Huh

But I like to have anyone's attention about the importance of the abbrevations for our custommansions. A few months ago discussions started about which custom mansions deserve a seperate board. Now, besides answering this question, the swopping of the topics is a serious problem. Because so many topics have subjectnames without any clue about what they are about. That is why I started adding abbreviations AND even important, at Talk there is now a brand new sticky called "Hall of Custom Mansions", where I added a complete list of all 81 custom mansions. Including the versionnumbers, designers and abbreviations.

If you want a shortcut to see it:

Should I understand this that people like that can't figure the abbreviations has to look for what it means first?

No and yes.

When a member sees a new topic, it should be clear what mansion it is about. So, there I was mistaken. Either the subjectname of the topic OR the text of the post should have contained the full name of the mansion. I assume that I was too tired last night. Anyway, sorry about that. Embarrassed

But concerning older topics, the golden rule indeed will be: check at the Hall of Custom Mansions what the correct abbreviation is. That will be a small effort, before diving in the 9 pages with 169 topics, when you are looking for some information about 1 single mansion. I really believe that this is a major help for all MMF-members. Especially new ones.

The adding of abbreviations at Talk is not finished yet. Will take a while. Thx for understanding.

It is a small effort indeed if you are about to dive into the 9 pages of topics (all the more since one can probably find out the abbreviation him or herself when they know which mansion they are looking information about.)

However, what of those who just look at the last postings using the "latest posts" thingie?

Smiley

So no two mansions have the same initials then?  Cool

Someone who looks at the 30 Wink latest posts, should have no problems, because he/she isn't looking for answers concerning a single mansion AND the latest posts should always contain clear onfo. Should. Embarrassed

Sorry folks,

I have problems with finding that such a "dramatic issue" !

After all, we have been using the abbreviation SPoG for Small Palace Of Gore for at least 10 months now......... (just like M M & M).

Although I second the view that in thread names it'd be better to use the full name.
But as I can see, Freddy did just that by calling it:
SPoG > update of Small Palace Of Gore
