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.

Today I tried to replay several older mansions with custom graphics, like Star Craft and Helter Skullter.

Both didn't work as intended, the custom graphics were not visible. So I assumed they had not yet been "updated" into the new "system" where the game can automatically load custom graphics when an appropriately named folder is sitting in the "Custom Mansions" folder, next to the mansion itself.

In the case of H.S. I checked and saw that there was this update available since March 2008.... so I thought maybe I had forgotten to update. But when I compared the dates I saw that I have already the updated version (from 3/2008).

Question: If there has been such a (relatively) recent update of HS, why didn't it get changed into the new "system", with an accompanying folder with the graphics ??

I know that I (and several other designers) have already updated all their custom graphics mansions in this fashion quite a while ago.

It's not that much work, anyway.

I kinow that JoeB. is not present at the forums these days (for reasons unknown), but....

.....if you're still with us , why don't you change your great STAR CRAFT series so it can load the graphics automatically ?!

I'd love to replay it......    Smiley

Hmm... was Helter Skullter with custom graphics?  As far as I remember it was one of Joe's few mansions with original graphics.  But then I may be wrong, I cannot verify this because I haven't got my computer back yet.

I only know it looked strange when I opened it....so I assumed it was because of custom graphics not loading properly.

Might be a different reason, though.
