OK, I'll go ahead and convert it, there's no major reason why folks shouldn't be able to play it. Technically, all someone would have to do to get the backgrounds would be to put them in the game directory, replacing (and hopefully backing up) the originals, but I have a *really* hard time recommending something that I didn't like doing myself for MM1 years ago.
I'm sure that in time, we'll be able to add those custom backgrounds back in. I've asked Vern about it, and hopefully I'll get a response soon. My thinking is even if the builder is a bit delayed it would be nice to at least be able to play all the existing mansions. The only thing truly missing is support for custom backgrounds. For everything else there is a way forward. A difficult way, perhaps, but still a way.
I'll take of it tonight, when I get home.
