Patch notes 1.1
-Extended Final 2 – Accessible by main/first level
Note: normal ending 2 is still available. We just extended it, but I was not really satisfied with it at all and decided to extend it -JamyzGenius
-New Maps added for Final 2
The_Mansion_ByIknosabukandJamyzGeniusFINAL2JFG – First part of extended ending 2.
The_Mansion_ByIknosabukandJamyzGeniusFINAL2JFG-2 – Final and second part of ending 2.
Note, if there is any kind of odd bug or glitch (which should not happen) in one of these and you opened the main mission. Open these to return to the level you were.
-For the main level. Fixed an issue in which near the stairway made of refrigerators you get stuck if you fall to the back of the big table.
Bugs:
-While moving forward in Final2-2 Do not sprint, or you will get stuck. This happens in Final2JFG-2 or Part 2 and final of ending 2. Just, when going into the black hall and suddenly moving, do not sprint or move violently. To fix this, you have to repeat this level.
-Also as a general note, please play mod with in a view-port window! Standalone works, but it is a little bit buggy, especially with the new extension of ending 2. Also, tramps do not work in Standalone mode. Sometimes in Standalone the new ending collapses and things do not work properly. When I say collapse I mean, things break. For example, the hall in which you are supposed to be pulled magically teleports you to another side of the map. So, please, if you are going to play this ending. Please do it in the viewport. For a better experience you can do it in a custom viewport while maximized.
Old Non Version Release Readme / Slight modified.
Installation:
1- Go to where your Hello Neighbor Modkit is installed.
Usually it should be Drive/Epic Games/HelloDevKit/HelloNeighbor/Plugins
Note: a quick access to this folder. Open the devkit. Next, select any kind of audio, map or texture file. Right click and choose the option “Show in Explorer” – With the new window open, you need to return to your main HelloDevKit folder and open the Plugins folder.
2- Locate the folder “Plugins”
3.- Drop the “TheMansionModbyIknosabukandJamyzGenius” folder in your plugins folder.
4- Go to your Editor or Devkit. Then go to your bottom right area of the screen where there is a small eye icon, and next to its right side there is a text displaying “View Options”. Click the small upside-down arrow that is after the text and enable the option “Show Plugin Content”
5- Next, go to your top/upper-left area of the screen and select “Edit” / Then, select “Plugins”
6- From the new window that opened, you should see in your left options a section called “Mod by FG Brothers” – After this, you should see our logo and the title of the mod “TheMansionModbyIknosabukandJamyzGenius” in your upper-right area of that window.
7- Make sure the plugin checkbox is Enabled in the lower-right part of the plugin section, right after the logo picture.
8- Next, close that window, then in your middle-bottom part of the screen from the DevKit, right after “Save All”, you should see a folder icon. Click it and select our plugin “TheMansionModbyIknosabukandJamyzGenius”
Note: if you do not see this, please restart the DevKit. If after that you don’t see the folder. Please review the previous steps carefully. If even after that it is not working. I am out of ideas. I apologize.
9- Next, open the folder Maps, and open “The_Mansion_ByIknosabukandJamyzGeniusDef”
Note: Extremely important! If you are fresh to this mod and want to experience everything as how we meant to show it to you. Please do not open anything else. Especially the other folders at the maps folder. Also, if you want to immerse yourself better. Be sure to check our Notes section for commands to disable in-game text and/or pool size messages. Thank you so much.
10- Click on your play button on your top-middle area of the screen. Then, the game should start after a little bit. This first map takes a little bit to initialize. Let it load, if you see a black-screen, wait until it banishes and brings you in-game.
Note: You can change to an independent window if you wish instead of playing in the editor viewport. Here are the steps.
1-Click the upside down arrow that is next to “Play”
2-Choose the option “Standalone Game” instead of “Selected Viewport”
3-Click play, it may take longer than in the previous option, but you will have an independent window to play it. If you want to maximize the window. Click the windows key and press two times the upper bar of the window to auto-maximize the screen.
You can also edit resolution and more in the preferences menu of the editor.
Route: Top-left area of the editor -> Edit -> Editor Preferences -> “Level Editor” section -> Play -> New Window Size -> Change 1280 x 720 to your desired resolution.
These values may be different for you, but should be under the “Play in New Window” section at your right-middle side of the window.
I hope these instructions are clear, and if you made it into the mod! We hope you enjoy the experience! :]

E – Grabs objects.
Space – Jumps
WASD – Movement
Right Click – Throws object.
Left Click – Activates or Deactivates objects such as Flashlights or unlocks doors. Note, do not confuse with E, which opens the actual door. You may use click while having a key to unlock a padlock.

Description:
Hello Neighbor: The Mansion
A mod by the FG brothers (Iknosabuk and JamyzGenius) Presents Hello Neighbor: The Mansion. This is a mod that showcases a story made in an alternative reality. In a quick glance to this reality shows that the neighbor is in-fact your father, and your actual neighbor became the manager of your father.
To grab context and put things in more perspective. Your father is an artist, and he felt into the wrong hands by a manager that is not from this reality. The devil disguised as a manager made your father sign a contract from which he cannot quit easily. He has him captive in his own mansion. Your father is also suffering from mental issues which prevent them from remembering his past. There has been almost two years since you last saw him, and you have to rescue him from the beast. This is the last chance you have before your father forgets everything completely. Enter the mansion at night, and do your best to save your father’s life and escape from the tyranny of the devil. If you look deep enough in the levels. You may find a huge chunk of the missing pieces from the puzzle. Do you dare to enter the mansion?
This is a single player mod that contains a linear style gameplay. Your objective is to find four keys that unlock specific doors to access the new areas. The mansion has four floors and it is your duty to reach the lowest level of the building to rescue your father. In the process, you may also find a couple of secrets. Open your eyes wide!

Anything PT2 with a – sign after 2
Anything from the folder “DoNotOpenIfNew”
Bugs:
If you find any kind of bugs and want to report them to us, you are more than welcome to do so.
Notes:
Please strongly note. This is mainly a horror/suspense mod. If you are not really accustomed to light screamers, loud noises or experiences similar to Amnesia the Dark Descent by Frictional Games or Outlast by Red Barrels Studio be careful with this mod. It contains those. Not as heavy as these games, but you are warned. If you know you will not get a great experience from these genres, treat this one carefully. Also, if you suffer from anything that makes you feel ill while experiencing horror, suspense, or anything related. Please, again, treat it carefully.
Please note that the trailer was recorded before the final touches. The plan was to create a trailer to present the mod first, but things went smoothly and we were to the point of the polish scene faster than expected. Some environments/scenes may change drastically, but not all of them.
This mod lasted in development about three weeks, not counting in hours but by an approximately time. It was done with the free time of Iknosabuk and me ranging from several hours to sometimes one or two per day.
This is a different style of mod, as previously said it is more about a linear experience. For this situation we wanted to add more suspense to the mod, but the action scenes are there.
Also note, this is our first mod for this game. It may not be exceptional but we hope you enjoy it :]. We spent a ton of time working on this one.
Some puzzles/obstacles require you to jump, run or act fast. Please be ready for anything the game throws at you! especially while in the action scenes. We made the puzzles in a very light way so anybody can enjoy and play this mod.

Thank you so much for taking a look at our mod. If you play it, we hope you enjoy it! Also, thanks a ton to iknosabuk. If it was not for him, this mod may not exist. He was the one that told me about the game and that opened the inspiration to create a mod as a project for both. It has been great :].
We send you regards!
