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.

Help!

When I try to play this one and StarCraft, I get an error message, -192(resNot Found).

I'm pretty sure I have the updated version on MM. I have 1.2.0. I just re-downloaded yesterday.

Did you follow all instructions that came with Dominator and Starcraft?  These mansions use a lot of changed graphics and if you want to use them you need to install the custom files that come with these mansions.

I did follow the instructions. I think.  Undecided I tried a couple times.

Lets see. New folder "Original Data" in the Game Data folder. Move the three major files from the Game Data folder to the new folder, as well as the specified screens from the screens folder. Then take the three major files from the specific mansion folder and put them in the Game Data folder. Put the screen files from the specific mansion in the screens folder.

That's what I did. Did I read the instructions wrong? (Entirely possible. *headdesk*)

Try changing the name of the folder from Dominator GameData to Dominator Data

Same with Star Craft.

Well, you can play it without the special graphics, that's what I do. Just leave all the files inside the folder (except the mansion file itself, of course). I would still rename the folder Dominator Data, though. And you are putting it in the Custom Mansions folder, right?

Yeah, I moved the mansion from the Information Folder to the Custom Mansions Folder. Its not in a sub-folder anymore.

For now, I guess I'll just play it without. I just couldn't understand why it wouldn't work.

Thanks.  Kiss

Oh, if you had the mansion file in the sub folder to begin with, that was your problem.

I haven't had it in a sub folder since I downloaded it. Sorry. Didn't mean to confuse.
