Hi Josephine,

I have no experience using

Graphic Converter

(even though I have the software, I have never used it), however I do use other applications to change sprites or tiles in MM.

First of all you should use a Resource editor, I feel that

Rezilla

works best (as far as MM goes), but even Rezilla has its fair share of bugs.....

Usually I first open the resource file of the tile / brick / sprite etc. I want to change, using/opening the files

Midnight Mansion Graphics

or

Midnight Mansion Sprites

in Rezilla.
Then I open the image of said resource - say a blue floor switch - (within Rezilla) and copy the image into Photoshop (for example).

There I can change the image to my taste and maybe save it under a new name. When I'm finished I copy the (changed) pic again.

Back in Rezilla I open the file ________ (your mansion name), and once it is opened I

Create a new Res

, make it a

PICT

resource and give it the same res ID (number) as the original tile / sprite I have changed (in our case: the orig. blue floor switch). An empty resource field opens.....with cmd-V I paste my (copied) new picture into the field, hit save and close it.

Voilà:  Within my custom-mansion's resource now resides a new custom graphic

PICT

res file which afterwards automatically shows up in the Mansion Level Editor, and - ultimately - within the game, whenever I play the new custom mansion.

I hope that helps ?
