So finally I finished the beginning of a beginning of a Lemmings Level Editor...
I called it "Lemmix" because the program is going to be more than just an editor (but that is not the issue now). Secondly the word "Lemmix" is almost the same as "Lemmings" so I just thought it sounded familiar.
The program is, and will always be, freeware.
Level designing is actually quite new to me. I only looked at LemEdit and Cheapo once or twice. I am not eager to start Cheapo because the program is not a very good friend of my monitor-settings.
I am quite familiar with all the DOS lemmings. I played all levels of "Original" and "OhNo" back in 1994 or something. Two months ago I rediscovered this great game, replayed them all, searched the internet, found this forum, found information on LVL files, etc. etc. and now we have a editor.
It is in an early stage that this alpha is released, but on the other hand, why not? People can play around with it already
and: I need feedback about the look and feel of the program.
If there is feedback, I would like to use this thread for it.
I would like to support as much file formats as possible when loading and saving levels. Currently I am thinking about
WinLemmings LVL, Lemmini INI files, CustLem, DOS clone packages. What other things are out there?

There's no installation needed. Just unpack te zip-file and ensure that the unzipper creates subdirectories
The program needs a directory "Styles" with .lsf files.
Please read the included README.TXT before going extreme
This readme is also on my Lemmix site and will be updated when needed.
A few important notes about the current state of the program:
1) It can not save LVL files yet, only open them. That's my current activity.
2) Only high resolution editor now, so coordinates are converted, when opening a level.
3) Extended Graphics not supported yet
For those who are interested: the program is written with Delphi 7 Professional.
I hope you have fun using Lemmix!
