Anyway, I'll try this level later again and see if it's possible to solve it as is.

Level solved!  Here we go:

This is a 77/80 solution.  It should be possible to get 79/80 if you don't use bombers to free the 2 blockers I used.  I'm less sure about the feasibility of 80/80, mainly because I think you'd run out of builders.

No, what I meant was that I haven't been checking out everyone's profile.

Ok, it looks like all of the exit's trigger area is covered up by the water's trigger area.  So, in effect, there are no exit trigger areas in the level, hence the level is not solvable.

Ok, after some thought, I think this is what's happening instead:

If you play Lemmings in windowed DOSBox, it is pretty obvious that the main menu screen uses a different resolution than when you're playing a level.  That's because when running in windowed DOSBox, the size of the window changes based on the resolution.

It looks to me that when you're not playing a level (eg. at the main menu, and most importantly, at the level preview), the game is probably using the 640x350 EGA mode (this seems true by the way even when running the game in VGA mode, although with VGA it can uses the VGA's palette mechanism even in that mode), and when the level's being played, the game uses the 320x200 EGA mode.

Now the wiki on EGA did say that only the 640x350 EGA mode can use 64 colors, the 320x200 apparently can only use 16.  So it seems plausible that the 64-color palette is used specifically when rendering the level preview in EGA mode, and the 16-color palette is used when actually playing the level in EGA mode.

Although two different graphics modes are also used in VGA, the VGA's palette mechanism works on all graphics modes (or something close to that), so the same palette can be used for both level preview and actual playing.  So only 1 VGA palette.

If you care to test this, the easiest way of course is to zero out one or the other palette, and see whether the level preview and/or in-game view are affected when playing in EGA mode.

LOL, well, now you know I haven't been fully utilizing all the members-only features of the forums yet, despite registering recently.  

You know, now that I think of it, I might have been confusing Andi and Timballisto.  No idea why.

If we're not already decided on what to &#A0;review next could we do one of my packs?

Which of your packs would you prefer?

I'm not sure what you guys have it as, so I'll tell you what it is where I live.

month/day/year

I thought only the Americans use that format.  And I thought you were European.  Oh well.

EDIT: shortly after making this post I realized that a day 0 does not exist either. &#A0;Okay then, deadline is 12:00:30 AM 10/1/2005.

Time zone?  Though I guess it doesn't matter too badly since you said you'd be somewhat lenient.
