Levels for other engines / Re: Level pack topic
« on: October 10, 2005, 05:50:22 PM »
Well, I'm quite surprised seeing 4 pages full of new postings looking up this thread. O_o
At first I want to thank you all for playing my levels and your compliments. It makes me know that I didn't made these levels without a reason.
Something I forgot to say: Yes, level 9 should be solved using Custlem2. Therefore the name "mission at maxfall 60". I know that it is actually 63, but that could have caused a little confusion since you'd wonder whether I'd added those three pixels or not. I could have made this level suitable for both Custlemm and Custlem2, but that way I'd have been forced to make this one much longer.
Anyway, I could make a version of the level only working for CustLemm, and if you really want, I do that, but it'd take me once again quite a lot of time since I'd need to re-check everything with the timing.
Also, I have to agree, the SuperLemming mode can make this one a little more annoying. Sorry for that.
Next thing, the name levelpak.dat.
Sorry, my fault. I actually had called it geooPk0.dat, but I put the wrong .dat file into the zip archive. X_X
About levels 1-3 I think I don't need to say too much to for now. Level one I think most of you know now how to do it, level 3 is glich-free, and level 2, I think Shvegait has already said something about it, some tricks, but at all it may get obvious and isn't hard to execute.
As for level 4, yeah, 3 minutes might be a little much, but when I changed this one from the original version I only wanted to make sure to close the old backdoors and changed the design a very little, and forgot about the time.
Level 5, well, Havoc 5 took me very long to solve, and I had tried it starting wrongly many times. I thought it might be possible that way, but it wasn't. I quite liked the way I tried it so I decided to remake it using my way.
Pulling off shouldn't be the problem since there are a few ways to make the important thing easier.
Level 6 is already known for Cheapo, so level 7:
I changed the terrain of this one slightly only short before the release to make it not too hard to pull off.
Though, it might be quite hard to execute still.
I recommend to use pause, and moving the cursor over the lemming while unpausing. This should assign the skill to the lemming.
But it doesn't work everytime unfortunately (at least for me, but I might do it not completely correctly).
As for the look of the exit: I was quite happy when I saw it wasn't too ugly. Anyway, a function to preserve colors for the objects would be nice.
Level 8: @guest, it would be nice if you could send your solution to me. In fact, the solution to this one is one of the few ones not requiring precision at all. For Custlemm, it should be even easier to execute than for Cheapo.
To level 9 I already said quite a lot above; it requires quite a bit of precision due to the SuperLemming mode.
And now to the final level 10: At first, it uses a glitch.
I could imagine Mayhem 17 96% to be solved with only one builder using that glitch, although I don't know whether the rest would be possible to do, at least it'd be very hard to execute I suppose. Anyway, the general idea would make it possible.
One thing against the fact that our solutions are the same is that you needed one hour to pull it off. I need at average about 10 tries to get it working.
I'll PM you to ask whether the glitch you use is the same I use. I'll just give away a general fact about it, so it won't give away too much. And ask you for a brief description of your solution for level 9.
Anyway, as hint for the others: the level name together with the terrain could give a hint. It probably won't help you, but anyway, I gave a hint.
@ccexplore: Now that you know that I use at maximum only one glitch you wanted to use and since it will take me quite a bit of time to make another set (I don't even know whether I'll continue that Cheapo one or make another LemEdit one), you can take your time making your LemEdit levels. However I'd really like to see them asap. As I do for Supaplex, I also like to see new glitches for Lemmings.
