Does anyone have the separate sprites for the Classic tribe Lemming out of
All New World of Lemmings? It'd be much appreciated.
If they're already up somewhere, my Google-fu is failing me.

Any chance you can get what you want using the existing levels and a whole lotta screenshots in DOSBox? Tedious I know, but that may be your only option for now.

And QuickTime Player can export a video to an image sequence, so that'll be useful.

I decoded more than enough of the image formats to make a simple level editor (lots of missing features, so only one person ever made anything with it). You might be able to get someone to put together a sprite dumper based on what's there.
The URL links to a blank page. I guess you could say there're indeed lots of missing features
(j/k).Any chance you can document some of your knowledge of image formats? I actually remember the fact that there's lem3edit, but never having used it (I haven't even played the official levels yet), hearing that it has lots of missing features, and not finding any documentation on image formats, I didn't know for sure whether it can even display the level, so I didn't mention it.
It probably also won't help if Jason's looking for things like animation frames, especially for things like the actual lemmings themselves. But at least it'll be easier to get the graphics for all terrain pieces (say) with just a few screenshots and a single specially edited level.

Actually the lem3edit code in the repository is missing a few essential level-editing features that a previous version had since I reworked a bunch of the code. You can drag and drop pieces around the level, but that's about all there is.

It should be pretty clear where the code to load the different formats is if you happen to want to take a stab at it.

(Recall the ninja lemming seppuku avatar I had a while back.)
Perhaps I can hack together a dumper quick. We'll see.
Edit: Here's some of the Lemmings 3 tribe graphics.
