Can reproduce this. Monitor with no. 2 set to primary monitor. Software fullscreen starts on monitor no. 2 but hardware fullscreen on monitor no. 1. I assume hardware fullscreen is determined by the assigned number of the monitor.

Further to my previous message in February, I'm happy to announce that my house purchase will complete on Friday 20th June, I'll most likely be without internet for a period of time after this date.

But once I return, I can resume with arranging Lix sessions.

I'll also most likely be upgrading my computer hardware in the coming months too :)

Quote from: Simon on June 14, 2025, 02:55:36 AMDo you put large water areas?

Another solution, then, is to draw only the outline of the trigger rectangle in the contrastful color. The inner area can be fully/mostly transparent.

Well, there is the problem of one way arrows, and when used one way fields. im sure your solution could be applied the same way.

Gonna be real here, the pink color for the trigger area is starting to get a bit too bright. It's my least favorite to keep turned on while making levels simply for its intensity. Its the most apt issue in editor. and I did notice it on Icho's videos for the contest (the one contest level with the new objects)

I get the color needs to contrast from the level, but it might be prone to eye strain.

Link to jkapp76's working L3 portable:

Simply double-click the "Play Lem3.bat" file and it should work. If you don't wish to play it fullscreen, you can edit the 486.conf file and change the fullscreen = true line to fullscreen = false and set the resolution you wish for windowresolution. Many thanks to jkapp76 for taking the time and commitment to getting the flicker issue in the L3 intro movie fixed, as well as to Simon and The Tomato Watcher for their help! :thumbsup:

I've also posted the link in the OP as well :)

I can confirm that jkapp's portable L3 copy in reply #7 in the post right above this one that everything works perfectly, including the intro movie with no flickering and the screen moves! :thumbsup: Many thanks for taking the time and commitment to getting the issue solved. I appreciate it a lot and all the help from you, Simon, and The Tomato Watcher :thumbsup:

I've tagged the topic title as "solved." I'll go ahead and post the link to jkapp76's portable in the "how to play L3 in Dosbox" topic :)

It would almost be better to incorporate the splat ruler into the cursor somehow, in the same way that arrows can be displayed for direction select. The only issue there is that the cursor is resizable.

Sure, we can look at the source together. If we can find anything obvious, let's fix it. I'll add the suggested meet up time to my calendar, see you then :)

Here's another updated version of my Portable Lemmings 3 game.

This is much larger, 450MB. But it's a more recent version, 1.53 instead of 1.48 and this one mounts and plays CD audio and still saves properly to the hard drive. I also included the Gravis Ultrasound drivers installed in case you want to change the audio to GUS in the settings. I found this version of the game after talking with the youtube uploader that showed the game playing properly.
