Olle the Greatest Adventurer Offline Posts: 335 Sweden Gender:	Dr Tronic's zoo 30.04.2008 at 02:41:30 I'm currently playing Dr Tronic's Zoo and when I end up in room 15896 I find myself being short of one yellow key. I've only been able to discover five, in the areas below Help, anyone?

For some reason, neither HD downloadable versions of this game (hard and normal)
open after the 1st save is made. The pop up message says that the file cannot be
found and the game file should be stored in the custom mansions folder, which
it is, otherwise I could have not played it at all, let alone get to the 1st save.

I have not had this problem with the other HD custom mansions. All the saves
were easily accessible. Obviously there is a glitch somewhere and I just can
figure it out.

Is anyone available to help with this problem?

And the name of the custom mansions folder is "Midnight Mansion HD Custom Mansions"?

Inside the game folders (like the "Doctor Tronic's Zoo Normal" folder) there are a lot of subfolders?

Are the save files stored in:

~/Library/Application Support/ActionSoft/Midnight Mansion/Saved Games/Player's folder/Name-of-game folder ?

If everything above is correct I am afraid I can't help you.

Where does MM HD want to save the game? It should be the path above in your Library.

Hi Brell, Thank you for responding, yes, it saves it like it saves all the other custom mansion saves, exactly like the path you described, only it does not open from there.
I get that pop up that says what I stated in the previous post. Hmm? This is so
very strange. I don't have this problem with any of the other HD custom mansions.

I had removed the game several times, then re-downloaded it. I even closed MM and re-opened it and re-downloaded it. I have no idea what else to do. Pity bcos I really like this game.

I will try it again and see if it will work today. If you don't hear from me, it means
that I still can't get the save to work. I will try to get to the 2nd save this time to
see if that makes a difference. I will use cheats to extend lives if need be to get
to the 2nd save. Wish me luck.

Oh, Merry Christmas and I wish you a Happy New Year!

I went thru the mansion 2 more times and of course I had to use cheats bcos
I can't retrieve any saves. And I get the same pop up as stated in my previous post.

Here are two pics to show that yes, this custom mansion is where it is suppose
to be, yet the system will not let the saves be accessed.

The 2nd pic is where ALL saved mansions go. See, there are 2 saves for this
mansion and none of them are accessible.
I do not have this problem with any of the other custom mansions, just this one.

Also, the Dr. Tronic Zoo normal folder is one level too deep. You are not supposed to have Dr. Tronic Zoo normal folder inside of another Dr. T.Z. normal folder.

Make sure you've read and agree with the rules of posting here! The forums are run by three administrators. Read here who they are and what you may (and may not) expect from them. 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.
