Lemmini / Pea Soup, lems drown on 3rd pea
« on: May 30, 2016, 03:23:39 PM »
Hello Tsyu, I've been making a Let's Play of Lemmings and I've been using SuperLemmini in order to showcase the game, due to its options set and faithfulness to the original game. It's been working out really good, although I came across two levels where SuperLemmini didn't work out as well as in the rest of the game.
First level is Mayhem 14 - Pea Soup: https://www.dropbox.com/s/fv9prj8kst7afew/mayhem14-oops.rpl?dl=0
The third pea where you must build to is the smallest on the bunch, but the hit detection on it seem really strange. Unless you land in the middle of the pea itself, Lemmings that fall on it will often drown through the pea/boulder. I can get the lead Lemming to fall on it, but if it happens, the ramp that I must dig through will often lead the other Lemmings to a watery/pea death. I checked out the Amiga version of the game to make sure and the Lemmings didn't drown when they fell on the boulder.
Second level is Havoc 20 - Look Before You Leap!: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ayn3i6geplwixqz/havoc20-almost.rpl?dl=0
It turns out the hit detection for climbers in SuperLemmini is more forgiving than in the original game. If there's a tiny bump in the way of a wall, the climber will manage to climb through it whereas he normally would hit said obstruction and fall back down. This makes this stage almost impossible unless you succeed in making your way down through the level with only 9 bombers (which is possible, but highly improbable to pull off) because the climber will climb out of the pit you made for your Lemmings and either fall off the left or be eaten by the lizard, making you lose one of your bombable Lemmings. It is possible to make a pit where the Lemming won't climb out from, but it's incredibly finnicky and hard to achieve... at least way harder than in the original game.
Just thought these replays may help you figure out the issues I'm talking about and help you in the development of SuperLemmini.
