Reloaded Expansion Game: For Lix

Status  :  Ready and very playable!   I have done quite extensive testing (gone through all maps twice and more for certain maps now)   I have replays for every map.
Only thing missing from this expansion project being 100% complete are 2 of the unique style maps which need re-creation still.   If someone would kindly like to try come up with something, then please do!   

Reloaded is an expansion pack for Lix that you can download from this thread.  It will not be included directly in the Lix download file.

                    -A Full single player expansion pack with recreations of the original levels from the 'Lemmings' game but with graphics only from Lix
                    -Completely new puzzles and level names for every map.
                    -Reloaded uses ONLY the original 8 skills to give it the classic feel.
                     
                                                                                   



Statistic Challenges    If you do any better on any of the challenge stats that I have been posting, show me proof (such as pastebin) and i'll update it with your name in parenthesis ()     Just to stop having all replays available while the puzzles are fresh and new :)

Note: Fastest time challenge is the person who has the best full second time only ( we are not playing for frames ) eliminates the over-use of the replay function for sillyness!

 Most Saved   |   Least Skills Used   |   Fastest Completion Time   |   or any other stats you would like included that you think are worthy of being displayed.

                                                                                       


Additional Info About The Level Re-creations   
- Minor differences that were necessary, or helped create interesting puzzles :  Trap additions / Reverse direction entrances / Lix amounts & spawn rates / Some terrain differences

WARNING:
If you are an absolute beginner, you should buy the game 'Lemmings' to have a better introduction to the game before playing this ;)

Reloaded keeps the 4 "difficulty" brackets, but don't rely on that, its more to break the levels into the blocks of 30 maps. 
Basically you could find the puzzles ranging from a tricky to mayhem difficulty in each section, though degu is still the easiest set to complete.   

Unique bracket naming are as follows:  Degu / Beaver / Porcupine / Capybara



Have fun  :thumbsup:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Updates & Changelog:
           
Nov 11:  4 'difficulty' levels now properly named.     Degu, Beaver, Porcupine, Capybara (thanks Simon/geoo for the ideas)

                Beaver29 : Recreated the level & puzzle with smaller red balls to match the original semicircular height correctly.

I love this idea! Unless you insist on doing the whole game yourself, then I'm more than happy to remake some levels. Like this one I just built: Tricky 1, "This should be a doozy!"

If you don't want me stepping on your toes, I can move over to ONML of course. (CSTame reloaded, woo! )

I'd be up for designing some challenges for this... except I'm fairly aesthetically challenged so I'd not be so good at recreating maps. I suppose if there's levels where making a challenging path is proving hard I'll see what I can come up with.

I've already remade King of the Castle and Rendezvous at the Mountain as 2p levels, so I removed the extra hatches to convert them back to 1p. These don't yet have new skillsets, but now whoever does these levels is saved the bother of converting the terrain 

I still have a list of my old ResEdit levels -- a set that consisted entirely of new puzzles on the original terrains. This was my very first foray into Lemmings level design, so the majority had more difficulty of execution than genuine puzzle difficulty, but there may be a few decent ideas in there that we could use.

As I found in möbius's "The skills you don't have" challenge, Fun 4 can be solved 100% with 1 builder and 1 basher. This is also true in your version.

Thanks Mobius.

I'll take dibs on using those 2 edits and making puzzles for them.


As for fun04, I had edited it yesterday to stop any way of changing spawn intervals.  Not sure if I put that in the most recent zip on here, but its fixed for the next .zip

edit: (all changes are now noted at the top of the main post now)

Thanks!

I'll likely be too busy in real life for the next few weeks to do much on this but it is intriguing anyway, and is probably perfect for the aesthetically challenged like me since the look of a level is already pre-determined. ;)

I'm still a little confuse though as to what modifications are okay and what aren't.  What Rubix explicitly called out on the first post are only 3 things:

- can change number of lixes
- can change spawn interval (which I take to mean all 3 values [initial, max, min] can freely deviate from original)
- can add new traps (!)
- must stick to classic 8 skills

Not mentioned but presumably necessary to actually get fresh puzzles out of at least some of the levels

- change skill counts freely (can add and remove number of skills from original version, including changing both to and from a count of 0)
- change save percentage
- titles can change (this is too obvious to mention)

Not mentioned and unsure of ok or not:

- time limit? (besides necessary in some case for backroute prevention, also known to be unpopular amongst some people here; on the other hand, is it too drastic a change in "feel" if most levels have no time limits anymore?)
- adding new entrances and exits? change their positions from original version? spawning lixes facing left?
- additions, removals and position changes on existing objects/traps?
- what do we do with one-way walls?
- I'm guessing you won't get a one-to-one mapping of traps from original styles to Lix styles.  Even on a pure functional sense, a triggered trap in original style may animate in an amount of time (and thus safely passable for that amount of time) that matches none of the triggered traps in Lix style.  Presumably this is okay anyway?
- I'm assuming for repeats, we want to stay true to the original's way of doing repeats, where all terrain and objects must stay exactly the same, but "stats" like number of lixes, how many to save, time limit, and skill counts can differ?
- Limited additions of steel, which doesn't really add new terrrain, but only to prevent certain traps/objects from easily bypassable, say?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------







All of the above is completely fine to change.  Really all I am trying to get at is that we try replicate the main look of the level, then create a new puzzle and find new ways of using terrain in those maps.    Your own Lix amount, skill uses, spawn intervals, hatch direction,time limits are all free to change as needed to make a new puzzle out of the original level style.
Adding in extra hatches/exits I feel is also fine if it can make a great new puzzle, then sure why not.  It's all about using the available terrain to create new fresh puzzles.

-I have been remaking some of the maps already with and without time limits.   This is ok.
 additions, removals and position changes on existing objects/traps?  Trap locations I feel can be changed.  It's still more about the actual look of the level, than the designed functionality within.
-One way walls came up, and we need to just design puzzles as if the map did not have any one-way walls.    Not much choice here.  I'm sure we can still make something fun.

Thanks, i'll add most of this up in the top post to help clear things up.

Could we not use substitutes for one-way walls as we've done in the community set, for instance Exit, stage right?

Your Fun 7 has a backroute similar to the Fun 4 one; this time just two builders.

yep, this has already been rebuilt.  The info is up top about that map already.

-as for one way walls, I haven't seen how they have been substitued, but if you know a good way to work around it, go for it! cool.

I remade We All Fall Down, using Lix's winter terrain (!) instead of the underworld style. (You could call it the "hell freezes over" edition ) I chose winter because it has spikes, which underworld currently lacks, and which are essential to some of the puzzle ideas I had for this map. I've attached the map with two different puzzles of my own invention. They still need titles, but I'd suggest waiting until we have all four made and then doing one title for all of them.

I also rebuilt Tricky 3 / Taxing 29 (A ladder would be handy / How do I dig up the way), but no puzzle for it yet.

I just downloaded and solved all the levels that are there at present (16 of them). Here are replays for Tricky 17 (100%) and Taxing 23, which I found especially fun and satisfying to solve

Cool, nice 100% on tricky17 !  Glad you liked king of the castle reloaded version.  I was very happy with how that turned out.

Im going to download your recent maps now and play them!

Just did 3 of your remakes.
Good fun, able to save the climber on the 'a ladder would be handy ' remake.

WAFD-1 - Great puzzle too.  This actually had me stumped for like 20 minutes till I realized the only way its going to work is by blocking right at the dam end of the platform hah.

WAFD-2 Working on it..  Interesting.


---------------------------

Name possibilities:

3         A ladder would be handy -----------> Delaying The Inevitable
                                                                    How to get ahead?

29        How do I dig up the way ? --------------> Detonation Expedition
                                                                            Bangarang!
                                                                           Tunnel Tactics
                                                                           Softening The Blow

------------------------------------------
We all fall down remakes

Just wondering which difficulties you are putting the first 2 of those in?  The first one is definitely not 'fun'  so tricky or taxing either would be fine.  Im still not even sure what to do on the other one, so im already thinking you could easily just have these as taxing/mayhem ones and then make fun/tricky still.

WAFD More FUN - Fall Down 
WAFD More Tricky - Down We Fall!
WAFD More Taxing - We Fall Down ?
WAFD More Mayhem - All We Fall


? Silly, but keeps the basic idea of We All Fall Down going? i dunno.
