I guess you are referring to the moving brick in the room above the one you're stuck in.

But still: even when you did it like that, you would have "flown" right thru the zapper beam (which goes across the whole width below the moving brick - even if only part of it is visible) - and I really can't see how you would have passed this zapper alive ??

PS: In the meantime I have tried to duplicate your behaviour in all ways I could think of. I never managed to land in the room below alive !!??!

Hi aquaMat -

I tried to take a movie of Jack's jump. Perhaps I'm not doing it right, but I can only record the last room - not the jump from the room above. I pressed Command R in the top room, but both times I only recorded the lower room???? I have two different films - the first I died on my fall and then was 'reborn' in the room below. The other time I let Jack fall under the platform so he was alive on the lower level.

If you tell me how to do it, I'll send those two clips to you.

Unfortunately I have no experience with those MM-movies.
I have never tried to make one.... but as far as I remember there was a detailed explanation in the MM User Manual, wasn't it ?
If I remember correctly, it is not possible to simply record a certain sequence though..... the MM-movie feature can only "film" a complete game.

I'd like to see it though....

...so maybe another member could help out by telling you how to record the movie of only a segment ??

One way to do it:
You could use Snapz.
This is a free software which lets you make "screenshot movies" (= a movie equivalent of a screenshot). Everything that happens on the screen (incl. mouse movements) is recorded into a quicktime (?) movie and can then be exported / saved.

I once used Snapz - however I never used it to record MM.... but I remember we have talked about it in this forum before - so I assume anybody else might have used it for MM already !?

Ahem, Sherryl.....

.... I have just re-read your post. Maybe I had misunderstood you. Undecided

Now it sounds as if you DO already have working film clips of the issue ??!
Or not ?
(First I had the impression it hadn't worked correctly and you were asking for asiistance for the filming).

If you have working films in a format that I & my Mac can read, please PM me about it....or send them via E-Mail.

I just downloaded Snapz and will see how that goes. What I have now are two short films that I recorded using the MM record feature. The recording, however, in both cases, only recorded the final room - perhaps it cannot record room to room. If you pm your email, I will send those to you (I'm a totally Mac person) and try to do better with Snapz. Perhaps it is as Semi-Native said, Jack is falling between the electric bolts?

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.
