When will it have scriptable levels?

What do you mean by scriptable levels?  There is support for adding non-player-controlled clones to a level and have them carry out actions.  Check out the s_liquify level or s_bazooker or s_test3 for an example.

The program does exist!

As i said before, i was given the decompression code for .dat levelpacks.  I have added the code to CLONES which allows you to select a .dat pack and have all the .lvl levels extracted automatically.

It seems that at least a few people would find that useful, but perhaps it would be better if i made a seperate stand-alone drag-n-drop app like i mentioned.

My real question is 'why do need to convert many .dat levelpacks into .lvl format'?  Doesn't custlemm use .dat as well?  And i've heard that most people like DOS lemmings better than Windows lemmings so what would be the point of such an application?

Of course, a program that could do this automatically could be appreciated. But, unfortunately, this program doesn't exist for now. Maybe a good programmor could try to make one! But for now, you don't have choice: You must save every level from a .dat file in .lvl using LemEdit. It's long, but there's no other solution. And if LemEdit doesn't work... that way, I really dunno how you could anymore!

Recently i was informed about the lemmings .dat levelpack decompression
algorithm by ccexplore, and i was wondering if anyone would find it useful if there was an application which could convert a .dat levelpack into a series of .lvl levels for use with the
Windows version of lemmings which uses .lvl files.  I got the impression
before that most players like the DOS version better.

Another option would be to load up a levelpack into CLONES to play, but the
differences in lemmings dimensions would render many maps unplayable.  At
the very least you could edit the .lvl levels in the CLONES mapeditor but
that would require you to play them in winlemm which might not be what you
want.

Please advise.
