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.

1.1.5 coming soon

I just added the ability for custom mansions to be put in subfolders (but only 1 level deep). I know people have wanted this for some time.

I'm going to look into possibly fixing a jack-stuck issue or two, and then release an update later today.

I just released it. There were additional issues I hadn't anticipated about mansions with a custom data folder. These mansions must be in the Custom Mansions folder to work properly, and only one-level deep.

(By the way Freddy, the "All Custom Mansions" zip archive still has these mansions in the wrong format... they tell users to copy data into the game's own folders, when having it named "[MANSION NAME] Data" would work just fine for custom backgrounds and music.]

Anyway, I'm holding off mansions fixes for later, because they're going to take longer for me to figure out how the mansion was intended to be played, so the fix doesn't break something else. I will ask for help with this in another thread.

Ok, don't take any offence since I am still a computer newbie, but what Vern has said above, does this relate to the Forum, where all the CM's will be in subfolders, so the initial forum page will not be so long to scroll through, or something else?  

Please tell me it is for the Forum formatting !!!!  Please  Roll Eyes  with pretty on top?

Thanks,

Sorry Sara! It is for the application Midnight Mansion. The forum is using a different application to work on Internet in your browser.
