Title: level organization
Post by: Anatol on September 04, 2004, 08:34:56 PM
Does anyone understand how Lemmings decides in what order to put the levels from the level packs (not in Custom, but in the original)? They seem to be randomly organized? :???:

Well... I don't know!

But maybe they created levels, then decided to put them in a specific order. It is what I guess...

They're not completely randomised. I mean, Rendezvous at the Mountain is considerably harder than Just Dig!

I think that psygnosis done the harder levels first (taxing,mayhem) then the easier Fun and tricky counterparts were designed after. It seems that the "oddtable.dat" file contains all the fun/tricky repeats.

EDIT: Actually I have no idea how levels are arranged in the packs, I just save my level over the level in the place I want my level in.

I have no idea how they arrange levels in the packs.They arranged the levels in a weird way in ONML.

They probably did design the Taxing/Mayhem levels firsts before desiging the Fun/Tricky levels.

Yes, they did. Except, I think, for the training levels (1-7 Fun).

Would be fun if you would be able to edit any part of the Original Lemmings game.Organize levels a different way,Add a new rating Sunsoft whatever,Reduce number of levels in rating etc

With ResEdit (on the Mac) you can change the order of the levels -- and the number of skills and level statistics. That was how I first got into level designing.....

That is brilliant.I wished you could do that for the PC Version.

Actually, if I remember correctly, ResEdit only allows you to alter the tasks and the like of the Lemmings game itself. It doesn't allow you to design actual brand new levels.

If you open the Lemmings game itself in ResEdit, yes. But if you open the "Levels" file, you can alter the levels......
