Re: New mansion series coming soon - RobSeegel - 09-09-2010
Zero, your original file didn't have an extension on it, but I assumed it was an archive anyhow, and tried to treat it as one. I was able to open it and I ended up with a file with underscores for the name and the older icon. That was the file I was able to get into the editor. I think the only step I missed was the full conversion process.
Update: I have a working mansion file now, and sent the modified back to you and to Catwoman, along with an initial set of comments. More coming soon.

Rob, do you think you have solved that problem for you, Catwoman and Zero?
Re: New mansion series coming soon - Sharpie - 09-09-2010
We have a working file that we can test now. Looks like the mystery has been solved.

We're good, Brell, at least until the next mansion update ;D

Well, Zero must work on the copy you sent to him and not on the one with the wrong resource ID.

i updated the mansion then compressed it & sent it to him
funny thing is while beta is going on for part 1 im already working on part 2
Re: New mansion series coming soon - negative_zero - 09-10-2010
I sent the testers a new version today to help them out a bit making it somewhat easier.
(there progress seems to have been slowed seeing as they are stuck right now but all i have to say to them is KEEP LOOKING)

the beta testing could be done soon ... of course i did say soon.
Helpful goblin series - VernJensen - 11-19-2010
Rob, a spin-off mansion where the player controls the helpful goblin, instead of Jack, sounds awesome! Can't wait to see how this plays out.

I think my ambition may outweigh my animation skills. My thought was to try and adapt the helpful goblin with a slightly different look (to sufficiently distinguish the character who would be standing in for Jack) from the built-in helpful goblin, which would still be used within the mansion. It seemed like it might not be as big a stretch adapting the helpful goblin character rather than creating an entirely different character from scratch because many of the various moves have already been created.
Instead of a yo-yo... perhaps the helpful goblin player might have a paddle-ball, and other minor changes. It really gives me a greater appreciation for all the in-game art! If nothing else, it's kind of a fun idea...
