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.

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...
