Beta 2 download link (closed)

[VernJensen]

Here is a download link for beta 2. This is a much smaller download that does NOT include the Game Data folder, so please keep that from the previous download. Expand this and put it in the same folder as the beta 1 application.

www.actionsoft.com/files/temp/MidnightMansionHDbeta2.zip

This version fixes all reported problems except 2:

1) Semi Native: try running this, and after clicking on a mansion that doesn't work, open up

Console

. It's in your Applications / Utilities folder. Choose

Open Console Log

from the File menu if no logs are visible. Find the log that Midnight Mansion just created. Send it to me. It'll help me figure out what's going on.

If you can't find the correct log, just click on

Console Messages

and select and copy the entire thing. Email that to me. (vern AT actionsoft DOT com)

2) For fullscreen, please start up in windowed mode OR switch to windowed after startup, then switch to fullscreen. The game will use a resolution of 1024x768, instead of the maximum available on the display. Let me know if this performs better, for those of you having problems with fullscreen speed.

Update: Beta2b is available on another thread, which supercedes this version --Rob

Oh yeah, go ahead and start new threads for bugs / talk about beta 2. Just start your thread's subject with

Beta 2:

and post in someone else's thread instead of starting a new one if they started a thread on the topic you want to discuss.

Semi-Native: just so you know what you're looking for, you'll see stuff like this when you've found the right log:

There's a lot of lines like that.

I just noticed that Jack has a large glow of light around him that moves when he does

Very nice Touch

Vern, still won't open a mansion. I just emailed a copy of the Console log.

Forgot to post the

Version History

of what was fixed in beta 2:

- Application Support/ActionSoft/Midnight Mansion folder now created successfully. This means your profiles will be remembered now, and no more

The movie file couldn't be opened

upon trying to start a mansion.
- Music is now on at start by default for new setups. (Whoops!)
- Fixed bug where title screen buttons would fade out the second time the title screen was shown.
- Switching Fullscreen while the ActionSoft logo screen is visible now works properly.
- Crickets sounds no longer stop when doing Change Player… while fullscreen.
