Simon, you have fulfilled the wish at last.
Post your levels here!

I may make a 4p and a "whatever player" tessellated map soon.

Also, "Hell in a Cell" is saved from 2-8 players (We need a 7 player file now!
). The WWE Pack Download is here.

Currently, it is 2P only, but it can easily be expanded to any even number. I'm not sure yet what to do for 3, 5, and 7 though. If anyone can do it, as soon as I release the level, you are welcome to make it work.

Also included in the attached zip are:
- Perilous Descent - reduced to 60 lemmings (I think 80 was just a little over the top, since pretty much every path is wrecked before the last lemmings enter), overtime reduced from 1:30 to 1:00, and labeled 2P, 3P etc (which they weren't previously).
- Pyramid Plunder - now has 3 viable routes between pyramids, and removed one piece of terrain (per player) that stopped the lemmings from walking up the pyramids from the bottom. (And also prevented them from falling in the water, which is why I originally put them in.) I'm hoping this will make blockers less effective. Also cut overtime to 1:00 and added another 5 platformers.
- A little surprise... probably won't fly (though the lemmings certainly will :P), but what the heck.

One 2p (Starry Night), One 3p (Diagonal Part 2) and One 2-5 and can be extended to 8 player (Brick Layers). I'll post the 4 player version of Let's Go Spelunking later, once I get the exits in the right spots.

I'm redefining my goal a little here - rather than just matching geoo's "experimental" level for mindless fun, I'm going to try to make the funnest possible levels with no blockers. The reason being that I'm pessimistic about the prospects of blockers ever being balanced in MP lemmings.
Post by: chaos_defrost on November 12, 2009, 10:32:04 PM
I'll probably remake Brick Layers with reduced (not zero... I'm thinking one per player) blockers, also.
EDIT: Went ahead and made the 5 player version.

More Levels:
One 2p (Starry Night), One 3p (Diagonal Part 2) and One 2-5 and can be extended to 8 player (Brick Layers). I'll post the 4 player version of Let's Go Spelunking later, once I get the exits in the right spots.
Does Diagonal exist for 2-8 players as opposed to only 3? It needs ported... if so, where can I find them?
I came up with an idea for a new level. I could reuse one of my old 1P concepts and make a level where the point is to beat it faster than everyone else. Hopefully you are allowed to set overtime to 0.

I think I can extend Diagonal 2 to 4-5 players. I may also remove the blockers from most of my other levels (barring the "node" levels like Fences and Starry Night), replacing them with 1 walker per Lemming released -- it makes sense if you catch a group of yours walking to an opponent's exit to be able to turn them, but you shouldn't just be able to block and stop everyone.
I'm at what is basically a large weekend long party now so I'll make these adjustments when I get back.

Is it possible to make L++ levels, in, say, Lemmix?
L++ can take .lvl files, so yes. However, if you want the level to be more than 255 pixels high (510 in L++), you'll have to build it in L++, or at least do what you can in Lemmix and finish it with the L++ editor.

If you set the time limit to zero in SP, you get unlimited time. And I've just spotted another bug - if you set the time limit to 5 seconds or less, the auto-nuke doesn't trigger and you still get infinite time. I suspect the same happens with the overtime clock in MP.
We've tried replays but they don't work for some reason.
Replays from the current version are missing level information. If you open the file and scroll down to the bottom, you'll find blank level data. If you can find the level file as it was when you saved the replay, copy it in (overwrite the blank data) and the replay will work.

That was funny. The comp being closed down (Apologies about that, I shouldn't really say it).Anyway, I've submitted 6 more levels: 2 SP and 5 MP. Why? Because of the note below.
Note: For the 2P version of "Safe in the centre" I made it challenging for single player use as well as MP. Why don't we put that idea into perspective?

Expect a lot of "nuclear winters" in those MP levels.
