Heh, I was eventually going to do this same thing for Lemminas III, but you probably did a better job than I would have with the levels :lemcat:

You might as well use the Lemmina Croft sprites I made, attached ;)

I'll hopefully get around to playing these soon!

I'm sorry WillLem, I had no idea! :forehead:

It's just that I've been playing the classic Tomb Raider games for the first time recently after watching darkshoxx's videos on it. (darkshoxx organized the waste my time level contest.) This in combination with your SuperLemmix gave me the idea for this.

Those sprites look great! 8-)

Edit: But I can't get them to work. I guess a newer (not yet released) version of SuperLemmix is required?

Thanks! I fixed two backroutes you found (level 2 and level 5) in V1.2 (see first post). Your other solutions are perfectly fine. ;)

Well done Eric! These are all fine solutions. I hope you had fun. I'm glad you found the solution to the last level. I like how it makes use of the grenaders and spearers. :)

Haha don't worry. I think Strato came up with the idea for Lara Croft recolourings all the way back when Lemminas were first introduced, so it's not as if it would have been totally my idea anyway. And like I said, your levels likely do the idea way more justice than mine would! ;)

That said, maybe we can collab on a Lara Croft themed pack? I've always wanted to do a collaboration pack, maybe this could be something we work on together? No worries if not, just a thought.

Ah yes, the Looker and Dangler will be introduced in the 2.0 update (coming soon!) and then the sprites should work.

A collab is a fun idea. Maybe even make it a project for everyone who wants to join. Each one can make a rank of 5 levels like I did, or something like that.

I'm looking forward to your next update of SuperLemmix. :)

It's now ready (https://www.lemmingsforums.net/index.php?topic=6180.msg98655#msg98655)! Please feel free to use the Lemmina Croft sprites if you wish; they should now work, unless I've missed something.

Great! I'm away from home now but I'll test it soon. (Sunday or Monday.) Those dangler and looker sprites are great too. 8-)

Very fun pack!
I'd be interested in making a level or two in a collaboration pack!

Update (see first post for attachment)
V2.0 contains the Lara Croft sprites. (From the second level onwards. In the first level you meet Lemmina Croft in her casual outfit. ;))

Update
V3.0 of this mini-pack is compatible with the latest SuperLemmix versions that have drastically changed the behavior of zombies, weapons and buttons. :)

I've been playing this occasionally for a bit now. While it is very fun, I find it a bit more difficult than "for everyone". Unless this is just me being dumb or not adjusted to the new skills or engine yet. Any hints on the levels would be appreciated! I only beat the first level so far.

Thanks for the feedback mobius! "For everyone" might be a bit misleading so I added "who likes a challenge ;)".

Also, there's no difficulty curve apart from the introduction level. The large level 2 might even be the most difficult level of the 5. (3, 4 and 5 are smaller but less open ended.)

Some hints:

here are my v3 replays using superlemmix 2.5.1

Thanks Eric!

Update
V3.1 Level 2: the fencer pick-up is now 5 skills instead of 3
Title: Re: [SLX] Tomb Rodents - Featuring Lemmina Croft (7 levels)
Post by: NieSch on December 01, 2023, 07:55:02 AM
Update (see first post for attachment)
V4.0 for SuperLemmix 2.6 is out.

- 2 levels added (level 2 and 3 in the pack, for a better difficulty curve)
- Change to the last level ("Final Encounter") due to the changed shimmier/climber behavior. Adding a pick-up ballooner (:thumbsup:) turned out to be enough to keep the rest of the intended solution working.

V4.1 Level 7: I watched ericderkovits's latest replays and changed the skillset of the final level.

Update
V4.2 Level 7: Again an update to the final level thanks to ericderkovits's latest replay. There's one more zombie now.

I realize the level is quite hard now. But hey, Tomb Raider can be really hard too and it is the final level of the pack after all.

Good luck! 8-)

Solutions
There's 2 (intended) solutions to this level now. Curious? I attached them below. (See first post for latest update of the pack.)
