OK, I'm a dork- I can't figure out how to post a pic. Keep getting error message <blockquote>..reselect file in browser box..</blockquote> which isn't working 

I just bought a late 2006 Intel iMac from Other World Computing for $159, completely refurbed, in very good condition.<br />
<br />
I just downloaded MM1 and MM2 and all the custom mansions. I'm back in business, and I'm so excited! WOOHOO!!!<br />
<br />

I know it’s been a while since I’ve made any Midnight Mansion related announcements, but today I’d like to make a big one: I am making Midnight Mansion HD available, for free, to schools and orphanages, not only in America, but the entire world.<br />
<br />
Thanks to its family-friendly nature, Midnight Mansion has already been purchased for use at several schools across America, as well as donated to an orphanage in the Philippines that I had the opportunity to personally visit several years ago (<a href="http://www.cscshelter.org/">http://www.cscshelter.org/</a>). Just today I heard from one of the schools that Midnight Mansion is the students’ favorite game, and a number of months ago I heard from a teacher friend at the orphanage that the children there still play and love the game.<br />
<br />
So today it occurred to me: why not make Midnight Mansion HD available to ANY school or orphanage, completely free of charge? Perhaps some will enjoy the game enough they will want to purchase it to play at home, or will have fond memories of the game years later as an adult and wish to purchase it then. And even if not, I will still be able to bring joy to hundreds or thousands of children who might not be able to afford the game otherwise. <br />
<br />
There aren’t many games these days that are family-friendly and still fun, as well as offering learning opportunities. (Kids are highly motivated to learn reading when understanding the in-game signs helps them play the game better! And the puzzles in the game help develop problem-solving skills. Plus, I think developing hand-eye corrdination and fast reflexes helps with driving years later. But if nothing else, it can be a fun reward that teachers can offer to students for good behavior.)<br />
<br />
But for this to work I need your help! I don’t know how to ‘get the word out’ to schools or orphanages, so I am hoping to spread the word by word-of-mouth. If you have a child or grandchild enrolled in a public or private school, or know of an orphanage, would you consider contacting a teacher personally (or by email) to let them know about this offer?<br />
<br />
To qualify, the school must have 20+ children enrolled (i.e. home schooled children are not eligible), and a teacher or other employee of the school must email me from their work email requesting a free registration code for their school computers. They should send an email entitled “Free Midnight Mansion for school” to:<br />
<br />
<a hreff="mailtoupport@actionsoft.com">support@actionsoft.com</a><br />
<br />
Simply include the following information:<br />
1) Name of school<br />
2) Kind of school (i.e. elementary, high school, private school, etc.)<br />
2) Location of school (state/country)<br />
3) An estimate for the number of computers the game will be installed on<br />
4) An estimate of the number of students at the school or orphanage<br />
<br />
There are no strings attached, no expiration date for the free version of the game, no renewals required, and no built-in advertising, nor will I be selling an ‘email list’ to anyone or sending unsolicited email to anyone. Just free gaming for kids. <br />
<br />
Secondly: if any of you have ideas / suggestions for how I can spread the word further (i.e. school journals or websites that might carry such news), please let me know!<br />
<br />
To those of you who help spread the word — thank you! And, thank you for your support of me and Midnight Mansion over the years. I appreciate it!<br />

Midnight Mansion HD is an action/exploration platformer with high-definition graphics, spine-tingling sound effects, and professional quality music. As Jack Malone, you will explore eleven huge mansions, each filled with traps, puzzles, and secrets, as you search for legendary treasure. Ride on conveyor belts, avoid zapper beams, and dodge monsters as you collect keys that give you access to new areas of each mansion. Non-violent gameplay allows the whole family to enjoy the game. Features include multiple user accounts, online high scores, suspend game, a level editor, and much more.<br />
<br />
System Requirements: <br />
- Any Intel or PPC based Mac (Universal Binary)<br />
- MacOS X 10.4 or higher. (Works fine on OS X 10.9 Mavericks)<br />
- Windows XP or 7 (might also work on similar versions of Windows, such as Vista or 2000)<br />

I want the conveyor belts to be a different color, like in the image shown:

There are several older games that have ladders that look broken and they also makes Jack fall and lose lifes. This is in MM 1 on Snow Leopard. Here is a screen shot from Jumps where I cant't pass the ladder and continue with the game. I wish I had made a note for the other mansions I had problems with.<br />
Is there any mansion builderout ther who know how to mend the masnons broken ladders?

Hey folks,<br />
<br />
I was going to announce this later but am just too excited about it I just have to announce it now... or I'll explode...<br />
<br />
Anywho, my brand new mansion will be called <strong>The Hallowed Tower</strong><br />
<br />
<em>Jack is off on a brand new treasure hunting adventure in the murky depths of Jackstuckson. There are tales of a great treasure hidden and protected at the top of The Hallowed Tower, once ruled by a great and powerful royal family. Jack makes an abrupt detour to the graveyard at the base of the tower but it seems someone may have already raided the towed, angering the local spirits...</em><br />
<br />
To be honest, I made that story up on the spot, so things may change haha<br />
<br />
I haven't decided of one theme for this level, but I plan on having several themes. There is an introduction 'mansion' situated in the Royal Tomb which consists of thirty rooms. Be careful as the dead have many tricks to deter you from your path. Once you have proven yourself worthy, you will be able to access the great Hallowed Tower, in which you have to explore its vast hallways to get right to the top.<br />
<br />
Be prepared to hear some awesome music from The Legend of Zelda series<br />
<br />
Here's some screenshots:<br />

<br />
I'm looking forward to completing it<br />
<br />
If you want to have an early chance of playing it, I will be in need of a few beta-testers. I may also ask for some help to decorate and polish some rooms up... I'm terrible at game decor lol<br />

Heya,<br />
<br />
This is more of a feature request for a possible MM3, basically I think it would be a cool idea to include an option for all enemies so that you can make it so they can only be killed with a shield.<br />
<br />
This could add more depth to puzzles making the player look for a shield to progress<br />
<br />
What do y'all think<br />
Leon

Okay,<br />
<br />
So this board has existed in this colour scheme, layout and platform since, well the beginning of ActionSoft. But was wondering if anyone who still comes here thinks it feels a tad dated.<br />
<br />
Personally, I think it would be great if the forum changed the platform to something more exciting such as SMF or XenForo, because there are loads of features those platforms offer which I think would definitely benefit the Mansion Designer community. Also, it could attract more members to AS Games too. Obviously this would cost a lot of money which is why it is only a suggestion, but if you guys opened up a donation fund, I wouldn't mind chipping in hehe<br />
<br />
If you do not want to change it then no worries, it's just a minor thing which strikes me so don't go thinking that I am saying <blockquote>change it or I will keeel you!</blockquote> because I'm not <br />
Leon

Hey,<br />
<br />
Does anyone know if it is possible to convert a Water mansion to an Acid Mansion, I'm thinking acid would probably suit my mansion more but do not want to remake what I have done haha<br />
<br />
Cheers<br />

There's a money bag in room 16893, but the only way to get to that room is from 16892, going down the ladder with the zapper in the middle. Trouble is, there's a break in the ladder right at the zapper, and Jack always falls to his death. Actually not always: I got him down the ladder just once, but have never been able to do it again. Is this something funky with the way the game is running on my computer, or is that bag of money meant to be off limits?<br />
<br />
