How do you load .dat files in Lemmix?
Good question! In the pdf , it is mentioned that you can add .dat files in the mygame folder , and that you can even have mixed files , but I have tried it , and it gives me an error message , that no levels can be found in the style! We need clarification , about how to load .dat files!
A temporary workaround , I am doing is when I want to try a pack , is I save the levels in the pack as .lvl files in the editor, and I put them in a new mygame folder ( mygame2 for example ) , in the same order they are in the pack!
For example for Tseug's pack , I have created a mygame2 folder , and in the style file in that folder , I have written:
Description=1tseug
Author=Tseug
Info=Tseug's pack
( and for the remaining lines , I have left them unchanged )
And I have put the levels in the pack named like this: 01 Slipping , 02 In need of scenery etc... , so in that case the levels appear in the same order , as they appear in the actual pack! That also allows me to have also a music track for each of the levels ( by creating a music subfolder , and putting the music tracks I want , arranged in the same way) !
This is a temporary workaround , so you can try the packs you want , but it is not a viable method if you want to have too many packs! As I said , we need clarification , about how to load .dat files!
EDIT:
I will look at this all soon (read weekend). Music volume is adjustable. See pdf for that.
Thank you EricLang!
Is it possible also , to have clarification about how we can load .dat files?
