lol is wingdings the new 'encryption' of the forums, so we cut and paste into word and change the font to see the text? or is there a simple method? B)

I think I invented the wingdings "encryption" for this forum.  I still like LemSteven's method of changing the text color to white better, but that doesn't always work since the forum alternate between blue and white for the background color, and you can't set your own background color.

Since I tend to post as guest which doesn't have the quick reply box available, what I usually do is to click on "Quote" (or better, right-click on it and select to open it in a new window).  That is effectively the same as having the computer copy and paste the text into the reply box for you, although it will include all the text not just the Wingdings ones, and text that were already being quoted in the original message will not make it to the reply box.

Bah, sorry for the double-post! :sorry:

I'm not sure what happens, but I think there might be a bug in the forum.  I think my post went on the next page but after I posted it brought me back to the page I was at (which is no longer the last page since my post created a new page), so it looked like my post didn't make it.

I usually just copy and paste the wingdings text into notepad.

How in the world can you turn around the second group?
Using a blocker would be the answer but how do you turn around the blocker once he's released?

I know the answer to that, since I used the same trick in one of my levels.

Here's one way to do it. Dig deep enough to trap the lemmings. Have one turn round and dig/bash under the digger to release him. Have another lemming from the entrance mine down to the same level and bash towards the other basher so that both stop.

That's what I did, except I used two miners instead of two diggers.

There are many ways to do that. For example, like this:

First lemming digs down 7-9 pixels, and then blocks. When the lemming is made into a blocker there should be aother lemming on top of it. That should force the second lemming to be on the right side of the blocker. The third lemming digs down 5 pixels pretty close to the blocker and then bashes. The second one (trapped to the right of the blocker) digs 1 or 2 pixels and then bashes to the left.

To view wingdings I select the wingdings part, right click on it, and then click "view selection source".

Wow, crashing?  Do you really mean crashing?

Of course. I don't think it's a problem with lemedit 2, more like a problem with my PC. Whenever I load a certain level my computer decides that it would be a good idea to reset itself. X_X

Damn XP machine.

And now back to the topic in hand...
I was just following suit with the wingdings encryption. It was to prevent a very possible spoiler.

Geoo's levelpak is pretty awesome. I mostly love that level that uses VGASPEC4. The extended graphics rock. I think I know how to pass Level 4 but I'll look into it later. I can't review it because reviewing 2 levels in a row is against the rules.

O_o Why does it matter that the filename is VGASPEC4 rather than VGASPEC3 or VGASPECX?  This is just lame.

I think the reference is that JM is pointing out a level by mentioning the graphics set it uses -- not pointing out VGASPEC4 opposed to another VGASPEC.

And this post seems very unlike ccexplore. Really.

The IP address is different. Either he's on a different machine or somebody's taking the p***.

No it really is me.  I now notice I apparently managed to put the e-mail address instead of the usual for the name field. X_X

I also just realized I'm reading JM's post totally wrong.  I think I was reading

"I mostly love levels that uses VGASPEC4"

When it is actually "love that level that".  Now it makes sense.

Clearly I was very distracted at that moment. X_X

I'm still at work, the IP address could be different due to the setup in the corporate network.

Anyway, maybe I'm better off claiming that the lame post really wasn't mine, since it sounds like people rather believe that. ;P
