Okay now what? Where do we go from here? No problems to debug, no mods to test? Do I make a new mod? Do I play one of the maps again? HELP ME

As for what to do next, what about trying to convert the Cat Mansion Boys to DS2? As far as I understand the meshes the Cat Mansion Girls use are exactly the same in both DS1 & DS2 as Hamcat lost the original source years ago if you remember. What,s difference is that the textures have all been redone and renamed to correspond with the DS2 format. Quite a undertaking and would keep you busy for a long time.

I did start work on this until I realised how much work it would involved and then started on the DS1 map project so it was shelved. Of course the animations are different and I,m not sure what was done in that regard with the Cat Mansion Girls. I suspect they are copied or modified from the DS2 females one but I,m not sure. Just an idea!

I,m also currently making a small mod that enables the Monster Level Mod in both DS2 & Broken World. It makes a bigger difference than you think. No more Green, Blue or Red monsters. So backtracking for those quests are now a little more interesting.

Also as for the DS1 map pack I,m thinking of just putting all the necessary resources into several ds2res files and having a simple copyright protection check for the existence of DS1. The download size would be a lot larger but it would be very simple to install for all of those players scared of the current installation process. I don,t know what else to try as all of the talented people here haven,t been able to come up with anything better. It,s either that or abandoning the project completely.

Iryan maybe I will attempt to port the cat mansion boys to DS2 but first maybe I should try to find DDllulu and ask him what exactly he did I know the process takes several mods to make cat mansion girls work in DS2. I will have to disassemble them and have a look. Oh and what happened to the work you did on this yourself? Second the monster mod and the packaging of the conversions sounds cool. happy to hear your making progress.
