If you have ResEdit:

Open the Lemmings application program, and open CODE resource #2.

At offset 0x1F58 (the offsets are the numbers running down the side that show you where you are in the code, change B06D DB60 670C to 3B40 DB60 4E75.

The dialogue box asking for a number will still show up, but you can type in any number and you'll be allowed in.

Well, hope you have fun

Now, we'll need to draw up a revised order to take account of the fact we have one fewer person.... something like this:

geoo89 -- style
Adam -- number of lemmings
Ahribar -- release rate and music
guest -- number to save
Isu -- time
Shvegait -- title
Conway -- intro text and screen start

Yes, I know that ends up with me choosing two things, but it seemed the quickest and simplest way to rearrange the order, and they're both very little things. I can swap with someone if anyone thinks I'm being unfair.

I've only passed that level once; I lost nine, including the climber. I'm surprised that it's possible to save the climber too -- when I was playing it, it seemed to had to find a single pixel or you wouldn't stop the crowd at all -- but I'll try that again on the Mac version as soon as I get home.

I left it for a while too..... but it's definitely possible. I found it easier to use the miner in getting down to the exit, and used bombers to get the left lemmings out of the middle "crater".

By the by, has anyone made the Original Graphics sets for Cheapo? I notice Cheapo has got the Original "Diggin' through Dirt" style in there somewhere. But the other styles aren't there.

Yes, I have. All five original styles plus the extended graphics (Tricky 14, Taxing 15, Mayhem 22). And as a bonus, the Yellow Dirt style from the Genesis/Megadrive version.

They're not quite ready for release yet -- but you can download pre-release versions of the Pink style at http://www.geocities.com/zarathustra47/Twenty.zip and the Blue style at http://www.geocities.com/zarathustra47/Collaboration.zip . If you're really desperate, I guess I could let you have the others..... though I hadn't planned to give them to anyone until they were ready for full release......

The Hell style is in the same vein as the Pink style, although the thing putting the Pink style ahead of this one is that the Hell style has no "non-constant" traps.

Ah, but I'm adding a few traps of my own devising to my styles. There will be a "kill one lemming" trap in the Hell style.

Thank you. And I don't quite follow your train of thought, but my subject is philosophy.

OK, sorry about everything. This is what happens when someone asks for some levels that use a new style that you weren't intending to release for a while.......

The error I was referring to was in the location of the "point" for the window object, which screwed up my second 20-second level because you would have had a lot more margin for error in placing the digger -- but against that, you'd very likely not have been able to do the level at all without the FF cheat. I'm glad the mistake didn't mess up Insane Steve's level.

Musics #23 and #24 are indeed guest's unfinished ONML remakes. I put them in the style so I could listen to how they worked on the game. I hadn't intended to release the style until they were finished, but Isu wanted these levels......

Music #25 is a Shela folk song (the Shela are a people from my girlfriend's fantasy world, Kadreilia) set to music by me and MIDIfied by one of my friends from another forum, the one where I and my girlfriend met, in fact. Sorry you didn't like it, guest; but I'm glad you did, Steve. (I know the intro's crap; I can't write intros. Given your rudeness, I hope you could do a better one; but unfortunately this isn't the right time to ask you for some lessons.) It's in the style because I'm using it as the music for one of my "unique graphics" levels, though I'm hoping to be able to persuade my friend to make a version that works a bit better as a Lemmings music.

Two quick notes.

Musics #1 to #17 are the Lemmings normal level musics in order. Any musics beyond that might not stay in the same position in the final style, so if anyone wants to use this style, the music on your levels might change when the final version is released, and you might want to change it back.

Isu, please change the name of this set. Cheapo sets titles are limited to 24 characters; anything beyond that won't display.

For anyone who's interested: the words to the song. (If it doesn't make much sense, well, it is the middle verse )

mi'iaska vin wvamiia vifaanche pretnee i
rehesi tira lo dejache pri chesse ksii
ksia pretniska kses isi a
e miska krisha ksia, pa chayse kara a
lii kanime a kandaar koshtese aara a
da e miska siiwe ithki pa?

English translation:

The light of the lamp fades in the sun
That tiny flame seems to grow very cold
Everything seems full of sunlight
It lights up the heavens, as I watch the dawn
Yet when there is thunder and clouds shadow the sky
Who lights my way ahead?

As with the stats....hmm....can I say we follow the same rules as the lemedit one? That seemed to work out great before.

Except that in Cheapo there's more to decide: intro text, hints, level size, music.

We should work out a system whereby some people will choose two things -- preferably putting the smaller decisions together, like time and hints. (Those two would go well being both decided by the last person.) I could try to draw up an order, but first I'd need to know who's in; we seem to have eight people at the moment.
