I remember having tried (during building) to "step off" the block in the room above that ....to see if I could land where you are.
I never landed there alive.

However, apparently you landed there while trying to go back (in the room above)....and then, it seems, you missed the grey (disappearing) platform.

This, honestly, I hadn't checked.

So this is what I call a semi-JS ....and it will be fixed in the next UD. ***

Thanks for letting me know.

***Until then: jump to your death to be able to continue ('cause that's what will happen anyway, once this is fixed: Jack will die instead of landing there alive! Cool

I have another one. Room 18694. I took the middle left ladder without activating the platform first and fell to the bottom left ladder. I knew I could do that drop and land without dying, so I thought it was a real route, but I found myself unable to get back.

Pity, until I got stuck I thought this was a very clever way of hiding a legit path! Cheesy

So, perhaps that middle left ladder could be a tad shorter to prevent someone from dropping from it to the platform below?

(LOVED this mansion!)

Too bad..... this one apparently slipped thru the cracks during our beta-tests. Nobody of us tried to go down there without activating the platform first....and I honestly thought Jack couldn't survive this fall anyway.

It's a pity.... 'cause now I have to make the ladder 1 unit shorter.....which definitely doesn't look nearly as good.

But at least Jack won't survive the fall anymore then.

Thanks for telling me.

I found a way to make the ladder a bit shorter but have it still look nearly as good..... (I still preferred the old look, however). Anyway - it will be in the next UD..... and dropping down there alive (without actrivating the platform first) will no longer be possible.

I can 'squirrel jump' down to the lower platform. If Jack dies, he just reappears where he is now. Thanks -

Hi sherryl199,

we came across exactly this problem during beta-testing....so I did something against it PRIOR to the release version 1.0. So it is no longer possible that Jack falls from the room above and lands there ....

... UNLESS you are playing a BETA version of The Complex !

Please check if you are really playing version 1.0.

In the room above this spot is a zapper beam that prevents Jack's falling to the room below.

PS: It has been changed already before (beta) version 0.9.6. I have just re-checked it.

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.
