Do we need two versions of all custom mansions?
#2
Yes, until the Level Builder gets ported to be an HD version.

I would recommend making each available for download separately. Why? Because you can actually play a mansion *while zipped* in the HD version! Provided you ZIP it
correctly.

To zip it correctly, open up the mansion's folder (i.e.
Castle Doom Normal
), do Select All from the Edit menu, then control-click on any selected item and to
Compress
. (It'll say something like
Compress 16 items.
) Rename
Archive.zip
to the name of the mansion, such as
Castle Doom Normal.zip
and move it to the parent directory.

You now have a ZIP that can be played as-is! No need to expand the zip after downloading! How cool is that?

Note: I didn't ship the built-in mansions this way, because it adds a small but noticeable delay when walking between rooms when using a mansion that is a ZIP instead of expanded. So players can play it either zipped or not.
