All I want is to get ALL versions to be ORIGINAL like the AMIGA ones! I'm dreaming to have all the versions to be corrected. I want the safe fall distance to be 60 for each one
The safe fall distance is never really 60 in the original version (even on the Amiga). It has nothing to do with hacking or not hacking. It's basically a bug in how they track the falling distance, so that even though the game tries to look for the number 60, the calculation can be off causing slightly higher numbers to still pass the test.
It's true that supposedly some of the games uses the number 63 instead 60. At least Mike seems to think that for ONML they
purposely changed the distance to 63, even though on my copy it's still 60. So as you can see, we don't even know at this point what the intended numbers are for all the different games.
, VERSIONNUM and CHEAT CODE should work too, I also want the menu of selecting the type of the PC included, the music to be perfect and the skills menu should appear too at the bottom of the screen when not playing the game under Windows (for the older Windows versions).
I have no idea what the heck the "skills menu" is. Do you mean the skills toolbar where you select climbers/floaters/etc.? I have never seen it disappear in DOSBox, or even when playing the game under Windows DOS for that matter.
It's quite possible they might have good reasons to remove the PC-type selection screen on certain versions of the game. Forcing it back into the games where it is removed might do more harm than good. Or maybe it'll be okay. Who knows.
How do you know that VERSIONNUM and CHAET CODE is universal for all these games you listed above? Doesn't ONML use SLAMRACING for example? You are assuming way too much about the universality of the cheat codes. Keep in mind that cheat codes are not meant to be an official feature of the game in the first place, there's no reason they have to work on every game, and there's certainly no reason they have to use the same one for all of them.
If hacking all this could be too long, then can you send me the program you use to hack Lemmings (pklite)? Ok, I'm not a pro with the programming, but I could try!
Please, don't embarass yourself.
Seriously, it's not something for the novice. Actually, even if you were to pay
me $1M to do this, I'm still not sure whether I'll be able to figure out all these things you want to change.
-------------------------------
So when's all said and done, the only imperfection that's really an imperfection is the music handling, as far as I can tell. I don't want to promise anything on that, and it's certainly
very low priority, but maybe I'll look into it sometime in the not-so-near future.
