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.

Thanks for that information / warning, brell.

I have - so far - hesitated to upgrade to (even) 10.5, because this computer is my main one, also responsible for the whole recording studio, on which a lot of "sensitive software" is running, with a million plug-ins etc.. So of course for me, it's almost impossible to know if all of these applications do run without problems on anything over/from 10.5.

So for the time being, I stick to 10.4.9 or 10.4.11.


But your info is very good to kow.....hope I haven't forgotten it by the time I'll get to installing 10.5.x !!?   Wink

Did you have any other troubles whatsoever while or after upgrading to 10.5. ??

Hey aquaMat- recording studio? Do you run ProTools? I just moved my Mbox over to the Mac Mini, which forced me to upgrade to 10.5.3, and it's caused lots of problems! ProTools seems to run fine, but it's slowed down the computer for everything else (even opening a folder takes longer now   Angry  )

After I finish a couple of things I may wipe the drive and do a clean install. My advice to you is that if your machines work fine with all of your plug-ins, leave it alone  Smiley

Hi Josephine,

no, I'm not using ProTools anymore. I used to use "Pro Tools Project" in the old days (of the 882/20 interface) and it worked fine for several years. But I needed to upgrade (channelwise) which meant either going down the full ProTools hi-end route (too expensive) or do something different.
So I changed to the MotU PCI-System and its 24 I/O interface and I'm really happy with it.

Basically I always do it as you said..... if it works I don't change a thing.
(I did update to 10.4.11 though, a couple of days ago.... but that's just a minor step I could risk).

Hi aquaMat-

The studio I work at used MotU midi controllers when we still needed to sync with tape machines, but that now everyone is using digital video all the sound stages are converting to ProTools HD systems. Very nice, if you have the money  Shocked

The studio also looked at something called Pyramix. The digital video system is kind of cool, but it's Windows based and we need to be on Macs. (Yay! I don't like PCs.)

Of course, of course......
No Windows-based system will ever get a foot into my studio !!  Wink

No matter how many cute little freeware softsynths or cheap "me too"-applications exist for Windows......  I'll never like it.
