Level pack topic

I'm afraid not; for instance, if you look at where the wires cross in the top-left corner just after the trapdoor, imagine the lemmings are coming from the lower left. On your version they'll fall through immediately and reach the lower platform (the one just right of the plus and above another plus); on the actual level they would only fall through at the intersection of the wires, and reach the middle platform.

Well, my Genesis emulator is contradicting what you said above:

Lemmings coming from the lower left falls immediately, as I would expect from the game mechanics observed in DOS and a few other versions.

Weird; I realised after I went to bed last night that what I said was wrong, but then what I *thought* I remembered from playing the level was that lemmings from the lower left would walk past the intersection and down the lower-right wire. It's been a long time, so I must just have remembered wrongly. Sorry about that!

So does it sound like my modifications would be suitable for a Cheapo remake of that level?

Well, either way, I think I'm going to go ahead and remake the level based on that modification, and then someone here can playtest and decide whether it's close enough to the actual Genesis version.

...hmm, and guess what, I'm now going to ask Ahribar to e-mail me one of his styles (the Genesis crystal style) he's sitting on because I haven't finished the MIDIs......  X_X

[Proxima]

Actually, it doesn't exist; I've done the ten Amiga/PC styles, the Genesis dirt style, and the SNES Pink style. I'll e-mail you the crystal style; that is one of the ones I've released a version of (because it was used in the collaborative level), but I have a slightly more up-to-date version to send.

Here's my Cheapo remake attempt for Genesis Present 17, "Electric circuit":

It uses Ahribar's "MichaelBlue" style (note: it's over 1MB):

It's a rather "lazy" remake.  I basically just copied and pasted the screenshot (modified as noted in earlier posts) into Cheapo, erased the entrances, traps and exits that were in the screenshot, and then put in the actual objects and metal areas.

Ideally, since Cheapo levels have a vertical height of 200 rather than 160, the "correct" thing to do would be to proportionally scale (horizontally and vertically) the position of the lines accordingly.  But it seems to me that an unscaled copy-and-paste works just fine and looks fine.

Anyway, check it out and see for yourself.  PM me if you find ways to solve the level (especially without using glitches in Cheapo) which isn't possible in the actual Genesis version.

On that level, yes; it's only going to cause problems if the safe fall distance comes into play. I'll have a look at your version in a sec.

Has anyone got a Lemedit version if the level?

[Leviathan]

My second pack has been released and it's available here:http://it.travisbsd.org/lemmings/lemmingswelt/index.php It's called "Levipak2.zip".

When playing the first level remember that a trap isn't always a trap (reference to a Genesis level)

[JM]

There's some levels in there with some good puzzles. I'm proud of Ventral Maintenance. I am proud of Splatter Bonus it's got a good solution. No world without you has good scenery. Both your first and your second levelpaks rock!

[Shvegait]

Nice levels  

"Yeah right... you wish!" is a neat level. I'm missing one piece of information to solve it though. Hmmmm...

JM, I don't think you mean you're "proud" of them. Maybe you enjoy them, but you can't be proud of them

[JM]

I enjoy them Shvegait. He did make good levels and you certainly make good levels in your first 3 packs. Well you probably have done the same with your unreleased 4th pack.

Everything in the beginning needs to be pixel precise,you can only afford to loose 2 lems...

This level required lots of adjusting when designing untill I found out the exact positions of certain pieces for the level to work

[Shvegait]

Yeah, I'm certain I got the very beginning down. It's the last step that I can't seem to figure out... I've been able to save 96%...

[Leviathan]

I'll PM you to ask where the troubles begin

Has anyone got a Lemedit version if the level?

Sorry, not at the moment.  LemEdit doesn't support pasting in arbitrary terrain graphics, so I'd actually have to do a bit of work (either manually or writing a program) in order to come up with a LemEdit remake with how ever many terrain pieces necessary to reconstruct the level.

You can always try remaking it yourself though.  A screenshot can be found at http://www.neolemmix.com/levelimg/extra/0217.png
