Midnight Mansion Forums - Saved games

Semi-Native YaBB Administrator Offline Posts: 1426 Orlando, FL USA Gender:	Saved games - odd behavior 30.08.2010 at 04:15:08 I've noticed that not all my Saved games go into the Saved Games folder. Some of them are winding up in the MMHH folder and some are in my Games folder, which is a sub-folder I have under Applications. Has anyone else noticed this happening? ?????????

That happened to me because I mis-clicked on my folder and it saved to the custom mansions folder instead of the save folder.

Your save folder is here:

/users/(your user)/Library/Application Support/Midnight Mansion 2/Saved Games/

Just find your way back there while saving your next game, and move all your games in your custom mansion folder there and it should save to the saved games folder from hence forth.

This happens while I'm playing the game without stopping. The game will start out saving to my Saved Games folder, then mid-game it will start scattering them around. It's weird.

This happened to me throughout testing and I just thought maybe it was just me, or maybe it was because of all the different game versions I had scattered about.

This is definitely annoying, and has resulted in me inadvertently saving games in different locations, or going to start a saved game and having the dialog window come up in the wrong folder.

Now that I know it's not just me, I'll come up with series of steps that reproduces the problem. It happens often enough, I think it should be easy to repeat.

And then saves to a different location than you selected? Or it randomly shows a different spot, and you click OK not realizing it chose a different spot? Weird either way!

I'll do that next time I play. But the weirdness hasn't happened recently, the Saved games have been behaving for me, even before the update.

It seems to me like the game and the level builder interfere with each other. For example, if I bring the level builder up by itself, it goes directly to the custom mansion folder.

However, when I do the following steps:
- Open up game (builder not running)
- Try to open a saved game, cancel out of dialog
- Open up Level builder

Now the dialog window is not in the custom mansion folder, it is where my saved games would normally be (for the player who is currently playing within the game).

I've also see the level builder interfere with the game in a similar fashion causing saved games to be put in the custom mansion directory (or whichever directory I selected a mansion for editing). I don't have the precise steps ready for that case, but I'm sure it's happened.

I will definitely have a look. Unfortunately though, it will have to wait until the Midnight Mansion port is ready, which is likely some months away. Otherwise, I'll have to fix the bug in both the "old" code and the new ported code.
