Won't bother me

Do you think it would be OK to put a link to http://camanis.net/lemmings/lemmingswelt/ or would this be a problem for "The Lemmings File Portal"?

Won't bother me.  If Sony actually cares about lost profits from old Lemmings games, they should still be selling them.

The URL links to a blank page.  I guess you could say there're indeed lots of missing features (j/k).

Edited the link; hopefully this one's not blank.  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.

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.

I know it's lame, but I'm going to have to claim the code as my documentation. <_<  It's been so long since I've worked on it, I remember next to nothing about the formats.  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.

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.

The lemming animation frames should be among the formats I reverse-engineered. (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.

@Mindless: if you consider them of enough significance, you can put them on the File Archive if you want.

Up they go.

Server has gone missing again... always while I'm away from it ._.
Hopefully it'll be back in a couple of days. *crosses fingers*

Edit: fixed a couple days ago; sorry about the downtime.

flux.camanis.net is down for a few days; the server was running smoothly for weeks, and then it died 12 hours after I left for Thanksgiving break.

And another random thought: how about hotkeys to move the view to your entrance or exit?

I second that suggestion.  I find myself losing my entrance and exit often.   I couldn't think of a good solution, but I think that would solve it.

Bearing in mind the needs of the program and the people using it, I'm strongly considering doing the project over in Java. I'd like to hear what's on you guys' minds.

Considering that you've given people a working build of the current editor to play around with, I don't think they'll mind if you want to rebuild from the ground up.
