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.

Saving on windows
12.05.2024 at 08:59:52
 
I've been having this problem since I first set it up on a PC, but I keep forgetting to ask about it.

When I save a custom mansion, say Arevn_s_Mansion_HD, it wants to save to A 1 ... just A.

If I put in Arevn_s_Mansion_HD as the save name, when I try to load the save I get an error Message that says

The Mansion File 'A' could not be found. Please make sure this mansion is inside the Custon Mansions folder and try again.

Any ideas?

I don't know a whole lot about Windows, but don't try to change the name of the mansion when you're saving it.

I thought I would give it a try.

I forgot he other problem, since there is no "A" folder, opening the save fails. It seems that the only way to get saves to work on custom mansions is rename them with one letter.
