Here are all of the Lemmings 2 level files. I used Lemzip to decompress them and zipped them.

I hope this helps.

I get this error when I try to run any of it, including drag-dropping the .DAT files onto lemzip.exe:

It's a DOS executable. The Linux file command tells me:
lemzip.exe: MS-DOS executable, MZ for MS-DOS

Thus, I've tried running Lemzip in Dosbox. When I run it in Dosbox without arguments, it says: [De]Compress Utility for Lemmings II The Tribes Resource Files. V0.90
Parameter Error. USAGE: LEMZIP c|d|h source_file dest_file

Running it with h, i.e., lemzip h, prints some help, and I conjecture that c stands for compression and d stands for decompression. Thus, to uncompress things, try running Lemzip with three arguments in Dosbox:

lemzip d nameOfCompressedFile desiredOutputFilename

Began work on the first beach level today. Screenshotted from Amiga Forever, set is as a background image with reduced brightness for ease of use as a template, and began placing the tiles manually. Here's how it's coming along so far. This is about 15 minutes' work:


(With background template image)


(Without background template image)

I anticipate that it would take me several hours to figure out how to work with the original tiles / .dat level files, particularly since they aren't already in some accessible format and I'm getting sass from Windows when I try to even get started, so I'll continue with the manual work for now. It will be slower overall, but at least it will definitely get done.

Fixed the incorrect Preview screen & music loading bug. The important thing was to first update the CurrentLevel in GameParams, and get all subsequent levels having correctly loaded that one (or, more specifically, that one's parent group).

What this does mean is that, at least for now, we won't be able to search the entire level file directory if a match isn't found in the currently-active-pack. I plan to update that in the future if at all possible, but for now it's good to have this feature working solidly.

Commit 6f6ed62bf implements this fix.
