I feel like I'm going to write a short thing about how to make custom things work.
You must have a good coloring application like Color it!™, Pixen or Photoshop 7.0 or and up. You also need a good resorucer editor, like ResEdit (Classic needed) or Rezilla. (That's for OS X, BTW)
Once you have that, do this to chance Sprites, sounds or graphics:
Duplicate the Data folder.
Name the old one
Go into the resourcer with whichever one you want to edit.
Sounds has sound effects, graphics has graphics for title screen and some for in game, sprites has tiles, coins, keys, winning spot, mostly everything you see in game
In sprites, copy your resource by copying it with Command + C after selecting it. Go into Photoshop or color it or whatever application you use for editing pictures, and do your editing and make sure that you have the sprites on a grid so they don't mess up while in game! After you're done that, copy what you did, (Command + C) and memorize the little number under the picture in the resourcer. Delete it after you got it in your head, and paste the new picture you made. (Command + V) Make sure you do Command + I and rename the pict. with the same I.D. as the old one that you edited. Do this again for each sprite picture.
For sounds, get your sound effect, or make it, and save it as a .mov file. Rename the .mov sound effect as .snd, then drag it in Quicktime, and press Command + A, (Select all) then copy. (Command + C) In the resourcer, memorize the sound I.D. you want to edit. Delete it, paste your new file, and press Command + I and rename it as the same I.D. as the old one.
For graphics, it's pretty much the same as the sprites.
For backgrounds, draw your background, save it as
For music, make it or download it and make sure it's not copyrighted or anything, and make it Background Music 5.mp3. (or with 6, 7 or 8 ect.)
Hopefully this could answer a few questions.
Cheers,

background8.jpg(or .png) (or with a 9, 10 or 11 ect.) and put it in screens folder in game data folder IN the Midnight Mansion folder. Then go into the editor and select it as the background. (Shortcut to get to background select: Command + B)
For music, make it or download it and make sure it's not copyrighted or anything, and make it Background Music 5.mp3. (or with 6, 7 or 8 ect.)
