Lix Levels / The original Lemmings 2-player maps
« on: May 21, 2020, 08:35:56 pm »
Simon, is the current version of Lix still able to import the original lemmings graphic sets and .lvl files?
(I tried but couldn't work out where the filetypes needed to go, and just get the black screen on a .lvl file) So i'm either putting .dat and graphics files in wrong locations, or this is out of scope of the filetypes Lix is designed to read, since its a different engine than l++
I was just talking with my brother about our old days playing lemmings and he asked if your current release has all the original maps, as he only wants to play those maps with me.
Had to ask him why he isn't really interested in the other multiplayer stuff. His reasoning is actually very understanding.
He likes that Lix can do more than 2 players, but wants to be able to jump straight into gameplay that he is highly familiar with and there is the nostalgic feel too from those maps.
He joined us once in a multiplayer game about 6 years ago (with his girlfriend) Just found it way too much to dive into, too many skills and keys to try get a hang of and just overwhelming. (we all know this though, that can be said for any strategy type game) Takes a lot of practice.
So I want to create a pack consisting of remakes of the 30 multiplayer amiga maps: Lemmings (20 maps) ONML (10 maps)
I still have an old LPP version that has all the 2player maps in it, but it would be much more pleasing to recreate in Lix with the nicer looking terrain, than play the old LPP.
So I want to load the old data in Lix, then replace terrain with new blocks as close to the original as possible, deleting old terrain as I go, then saving as a file in Lix.
Then I would give the maps just the original 8 skills (I guess only difference being the instant exploders) from lemmings/onml, so it gives the old authentic feel only.
[Additionally I would place only the original lemmings & ONML OGG's in the music directory, zip it all up and send to my brother so we can play them and surely have it feel very similar to how we used to 1v1 on those maps.]
Having these maps as a downloadable map pack could be something other people who grew up on lemmings 2-player may also be looking for, as people can dive right into Lix and start playing 2-player maps they are already familiar with, before exploring the world of new and often confusing multiplayer maps.
