As in the old, and falling apart LUDB, this is the topic where new level paks can be put up for download.

I doubt anyone plays DOS lemmings anymore, but just in case . . . 140 levels/ 14 levelpacks made in LemEdit <Download (146 KB)> It only works if you right click/save target.

Andi · « **Reply #2 on:** July 03, 2004, 12:01:51 PM »

Nope. It doesn't work. (The download, of course.

I think you understood me wrong. I still play Lemmings, of course!

I do! I was offended by your coment

...ugh....remember we all play a game which was made about 13 years ago...so why wouldn't I use a program made...5? years ago

oh and you stone my topic

XD

I just finished making a level pak

play it...the last level took me ages to get right and still I'm not sure if it's bug free....National Float Test is a good level as well as Multiple Choice and everyone but the Bomber which were both for the multiple entrance challence ages ago...
anyway the rest of my levels are Here

ugh that's all

chaos_defrost · « **Reply #8 on:** July 07, 2004, 04:02:12 PM »

Is that last level even clearable? I mean, with only one floater, I don't think I can get up to the others to save them... and there a one-way wall blocking them! Unless there's another entrance I missed in my play-through...

Overall, good level designs. I liked the second level's trick (Although I would have given the player more space to pull it off...), but I think I back-routed the first level, thanks to the fact that a lemming dropping directly over the exit will enter the exit regardless of the fall involved.

Conway · « **Reply #9 on:** July 07, 2004, 07:51:23 PM »

Oooh - A new levelpack! Can't wait to try it, but my sister is on the desktop computer. I'm on the laptop, which can't really do DOS or even adjust the display settings properly in Lemmings! :-( I'll try it when I get the main computer.

...uh whoops...I'm in the process of fixing it up......have you played...."The National Float Test"

The last level is definitly clearable...you don't have to save 100%...it's supposed to be an exceedingly hard level...but I toned it down a bit...since it initially would have been about 20 minuites worth or gameplay...>_<...I could give you some hints but you should think it through...unless you want me to send you a solution....

and I'm glad you like my number 2 level...

Is anyone else making new Lemedit...?

chaos_defrost · « **Reply #15 on:** July 12, 2004, 12:46:04 AM »

Ok, I have only 2 more levels to fill up a levelpak. A couple of mine are LemEdit versions of some tricks I saw with Steaver's Cheapo packs... (One is a fairly close replica of "The Impossible Room" -- I loved that trick) And I also have the multi-task contest level.

chaos_defrost · « **Reply #16 on:** July 13, 2004, 07:26:59 PM »

Uh oh, I made more levels!

Level 6 is a level adapted from Steaver370's Lemmings Plus 2 4th pack, called "The Impossible Room". (One of my favorite tricks in any of his levels) Level 9 is my multi-task contest entry. This level pack relies on quite a few tricks I learned from other people's packs... Even level 1 uses a trick I learned elsewhere.

Oh yes, level 3 requires the graphics file from "A Beast of a Level" (Fun 22) to work. I think it is Vgaspec3 (Thanks Ice Eagle!). Actually, you should copy all the spec files into your LemEdit folder if you have them...

I'm up to level 2 of that pack, the name of which is 'The Impossible Box'. While the name may sound the same as that of steaver's level, the solution is not the same.

Can you guys do me a big favour and upload these as sets of .lvl's, as Conway did? I do not have DOS Lemmings; I only have it on a mac; and I can only convert the .lvl's to mac levels (using hexeditors 'n' stuff), but not the .dat's.

chaos_defrost · « **Reply #29 on:** August 12, 2004, 06:26:26 PM »

I have a couple of .LVL files... I'll see what i can do with them. It'd take a while to convert all my levels into .LVL...

And in an unrelated note, I finally uploaded Set 9 for LemEdit onto my website. Click the picture in my sig to access it.

How about this: For the last three levels, one can have the member competition level, another can have "Out of the Frying Pan", and the last level is the level that is the hardest level that requires precision.

Shvegait · « **Reply #31 on:** November 29, 2004, 06:01:38 AM »

Hey, I'm a newcomer here, but I've recently discovered LemEdit and CustLemm.

This pack is not finished, only 8 levels, but since I won't be able to work on it for 3 weeks, I figured maybe people might want to try it and give feedback if possible.

(Edit: Link removed, update to this pack available in later post.)

Conway · « **Reply #32 on:** December 22, 2004, 12:19:55 AM »

That's one challenging level pack you've got there, Shvegait, especially for a new designer! I'm currently up to 'Tempus Fugit'.

Shvegait · « **Reply #33 on:** December 23, 2004, 07:03:52 PM »

Thanks, Conway. If it wouldn't be much trouble, could you PM me your solutions to Level 1 and Level 6 (and if you have found what you think may be backroutes in any other level)?

I'm home for winter break now

so I've made minor terrain revisions to a few levels, though they shouldn't really affect solutions. Also I have come up with 4 more levels and removed 2 levels that I didn't like too much, and level 5 was moved to level 3.

If you've already played my first pack, the new levels are 2, 5, 9, 10.

Load up the executable, mount your C drive (or whatever drive has CustLemm), change drives from Z: to C:, change directories, and load up CustLemm...

I guess that's what your asking. If you're confused on how to use DOSBox, read the FAQ on their site.

I'm stuck on the last bit -- I've got as far as changing to the C: drive.

Okay Shvegait, I've passed Tempus Fugit, but now I'm stuck on Comic Book Heros. The time limit is extremely tight, and there's one part I can't reach because of the ceiling. I suppose there could be a hidden exit. But where? Please give a hint, but only a very little itty-bitty one!

Shvegait · « **Reply #42 on:** December 25, 2004, 01:28:21 AM »

I don't want to give you a hint on this one. Just keeping thinking about it. I will tell you that there is no hidden exit, though. What you see is what you get.

But I'm glad you're stuck

Conway · « **Reply #43 on:** January 05, 2005, 07:39:05 PM »

I've just passed Comic Book Heroes, after about ten attempts after I figured out the solution! But your second levelpack doesn't work. Custlemm can't access it, and lemEdit can't open it! What's wrong? :

Shvegait · « **Reply #44 on:** January 05, 2005, 08:07:52 PM »

My host site is acting weird. It thinks the .dat file is an html page or something, so you're probably not actually getting the pack. There's another host I can use, but I'll need to wait for someone to sign online to put it up there. I could also e-mail the pack if you'd like.

Hey everyone! I've decided to do something I haven't done in ages, and do something in Lemedit. Here it is! Warning! Do not assume for one minute that it is possible to pass. I have just spent the past four hours trying to make sure it's possible, and still not passed. I've edited it slightly where necessary, but I still haven't managed it. I can only assume it's passable because I've gotten very close and had only my own fatigue to let me down. So, if you're up for a challenge, download the sucker and see if you can pass my own level before me!

Well, the level has been solved, but I have a feeling probably not in the way you intended......

Did you upload the right version of the level?

I'll e-mail some screenshots.

The sad thing is, it still took over 3+ hours for me to solve it the way I did. It's amazing how much better Cheapo is at handling your mouse clicks. And I sorely missed the replay feature......

Conway · « **Reply #48 on:** January 08, 2005, 04:01:54 PM »

chaos_defrost · « **Reply #49 on:** January 08, 2005, 04:15:06 PM »

I looked at Conway's level... and thought about it for a while... and just gave up because I don't have as much time for Lemmings fan levels as I'd like. It's a brilliant level design, though.

I have something like 3 levels in a LemEdit pack (#10) that I haven't touched in a while. I really like one of them, also. Meh.

Conway · « **Reply #50 on:** January 08, 2005, 08:05:43 PM »

In case anyone's interested, I have realized that level isn't possible (unless you know the very sneaky trick backroute which I don't know how to eliminate without drastically altering the level's appearance). Here is the update! I haven't passed this one either, but it has to be possible!

Not true anymore. I've found another way to solve your original level that is again not your intended solution. Moreover, the same solution works with your updated level too!

(Check your e-mail...)

Conway · « **Reply #52 on:** January 09, 2005, 06:13:53 PM »

Thanks to Guest for his/her patience with my level. I think it's finally backroute-proof. (besides the trick with bashing through the steel at the top). Download!

Shvegait · « **Reply #53 on:** January 10, 2005, 01:15:53 AM »

I've finished my second level pack. Hopefully on the whole it's harder than the first, although a couple of the levels may have backroutes.

Also, here's a working link to my updated first levelpack (I haven't updated it since then, but the link didn't work right.)

First pack:
shveg01.dat

New pack:
shveg02.dat

I've looked at that new level of yours, Conway, but I haven't been able to figure it out yet. I figure I'll go back to it once I've beaten all of your other levels first, if that ever happens X_X

Edit: Fixed a backroute in one level of 02 and changed the order of some of the levels.

Conway · « **Reply #54 on:** January 17, 2005, 01:55:38 AM »

Guess what! I've just found a backroute in 'Out of the frying pan'! I have now fixed it and here it is in my first levelpack in almost a year.

Good luck! Any questions, just ask.

Shvegait · « **Reply #55 on:** January 17, 2005, 04:35:02 AM »

Ooo, new levels &#A0;

I just beat "Out of the fryingpan" a few days ago (awesome level!), but it felt right... I'm wondering what the backroute was. (Edit: No I'm not! Because of course I beat it using the backroute &#A0;X_X Edit2: I just looked at the revised level and figured out the real solution after a few attempts. At least the backroute wasn't thaaat different, although the trick it used wasn't quite as cool... and the title of the level is meaningless with the backroute

)

Oh, also, I've just finished my third levelpack. The last couple levels I threw in were sort of rushed (three of the levels are repeats of levels from my 01 pack with different time, tools, etc.), since I had to go back to school and I don't have a serial mouse for my laptop. I could only work on levels on my parents' old 166 MHz Gateway 2000... so I wanted to get the pack done before I went back, and barely managed. But a few of the levels are pretty cool and challenging, so please check it out! And they were mostly thoroughly tested... by my sister anyway, and she's good at finding backroutes, but never the intended solution

Well, here it is (shveg03.dat), please let me know if anyone finds what they think is a backroute.

NOTE: Level 3 "Another Impasse" should only give you 2 builders, NOT 3, so just pretend for now that you only have 2 builders and refuse to use the 3rd. Level 8 "Take the stairs!" has a weird screen start, not sure why I didn't fix it. The "repeat" levels are 3, 4, and 6, repeating levels 3, 1, and 9 from my 01 pack, respectively.

I guess it's time for Cheapo&#A0;

if I have the time and motivation, that is...

chaos_defrost · « **Reply #56 on:** January 17, 2005, 07:10:08 PM »

Out of the Frying Pan is still one of my favorite levels from any author anywhere in Lemmings, Cheapo or LemEdit. A VERY clever trick.

New LemEdit packs. Haven't seen those in a while. /me stares at "ISteve10.dat" and the three and a half levels it contains

Ya, I must finish Set #10 sometime.

Shvegait · « **Reply #57 on:** January 18, 2005, 12:55:19 AM »

Nice pack, Conway. I just have levels 4, 9, and 10 to go (yes, I followed your instructions and gave up on #4, it was just frustrating me...) Level 7 "Let's refer to them as A,B,C & D" is quite a fun level! Level 8 was pretty cool. Level 3 seemed really easy for some reason...

Bahhh, already found a couple backroutes in my levels... but I will keep the link up until I'm able to correct them.

Out of curiosity, has anyone tried my 2nd or 3rd packs yet and have any comments?

Conway · « **Reply #58 on:** January 18, 2005, 06:37:27 PM »

Thanks to Shvegait for finding a backroute to level 8 of my new levelpack! I've just altered it and re-uploaded it. It now allows only one minute to complete. Same url Please let me know if another backroute is found and/or the intended solution.

guest · « **Reply #61 on:** January 26, 2005, 01:08:41 AM »

I haven't looked at LemEdit levels lately. You have tested that your level is solvable right?

I have to admit having played Cheapo for a while, I'm now surprisingly unwilling to go back to Custlemm anymore (I NEED REPLAY!

). But I'll definitely make an effort to do so at some point. Actually, I guess I still have the "Four Door Hatchback" thing to solve.

[And I can also tell you that having tried a manual conversion of a LemEdit level to Cheapo, it'll never be an easy, let alone automatic, process. For starters the max safe fall distance is already different, and Cheapo has a 200-pixel minimum level height that is 40 pixels higher than CustLemm's 160. Grrrrr......]

Shvegait · « **Reply #62 on:** January 26, 2005, 01:59:04 AM »

"Four Door Hatchback" is now level 9 in that set, so you can play it there. And... I don't know, half the time I don't use the replay in Cheapo because of the bugs... I think I'd miss fast-forward more. And the max safe fall distance, although different pixel by pixel, should be similar visually, because of the difference in level heights between LemEdit and Cheapo. I can imagine conversions being a huge pain though.

I don't think replay would be a huge help for "Can't Find Any Gaps" anyway, you only get one minute to do it... I have ideas for the solution, but haven't been able to get anything to work

Yes I've just solved that one. In fact I was left wishing for something more complicated. I guess I should e-mail you my solution.

[And I stand corrected. As I'm playing the level, it dawns on me that replay is not really what makes Cheapo great; rather, it is CustLemm's awful responsiveness to your mouse clicks that greatly turned me off, when compared with Cheapo's handling. I mean, even basic things like the ability in Cheapo to assign skills when paused is amazingly indispensible once you go back to CustLemm and realize what a difference it makes.]

Shvegait · « **Reply #64 on:** January 26, 2005, 04:21:17 AM »

Yes, and we shouldn't forget the ability to choose facing direction of lemmings, and the ability to give climber/floater abilities to lemmings when the cursor already contains climbers/floaters. At least CustLemm has that "classic" feel

I too just solved "Can't Find Any Gaps". I wonder if we have the same solution... If so, I have a feeling it suffered from the removing backroutes -> more obvious solution syndrome; the time limit is quite restrictive. If not, then one of them at least is a backroute, maybe both...

I'm not sure what that really means, "classic" feel. Other than the graphics and music maybe.

The enhanced input capabilities you described above are niceties, but I can live without them. What I hate to live with is the fact that you thought you click on the damn lemming but it doesn't do anything. In fact clicking repeatedly only seems to make things worse, unlike Cheapo. Maybe it's my computer, but it seems like I generally have to anticipate, click a little before I want something to happen, and hold down the damn mouse button for a slight bit, before the game finally registers I want so and so to do this and that.

This lack of responsiveness just gets painful after a while. Indeed, I think if I played "Can't Find Any Gaps" in Cheapo instead of CustLemm, I could've spent maybe half the time it took in CustLemm to pass it.

Shvegait · « **Reply #66 on:** January 26, 2005, 05:03:10 PM »

I thought CustLemm doesn't have music? I meant the graphics mostly though. As for the mouse... I don't know, I can't say I've had many problems with it. Indeed it is very tricky to time a click after an unpause, I will admit that.

Conway · « **Reply #67 on:** January 26, 2005, 05:51:21 PM »

Guest and Shvegait, both your solutions are backroutes! Thanks for finding them. I'll have to correct it and update it later.

And I'm really dreading converting that level to cheapo, simply for getting it to play exactly the same. I'll try it though. But please don't give up on Custlemm/Lemmedit just yet! Although I agree Cheapo is much better.

Shvegait · « **Reply #68 on:** January 26, 2005, 06:28:27 PM »

I like working in LemEdit, because it's easy to make pieces and move them around to come up with stuff, while in Cheapo it seems that it's much better to have level designs pretty well planned out before you start (but of course the Cheapo editor is much more flexible). There are still a couple of inconsistencies between Cheapo and Lemmings/CustLemm that I prefer CustLemm for, like the one pixel slope issue, where if there is a one-pixel hole to one side of the lemming, they fall in CustLemm, but in Cheapo they walk up (maybe I'm not explaining it well, but the chain piece of the Brick style should make it clear what I'm talking about.) And of course I don't think it would be possible to convert level 8 of my 01 pack. Also.. in CustLemm, diggers can dig with one pixel on the very edge present, but they require two in Cheapo (although it's probably better this way!) Just different physics/mechanics type stuff. But of course Cheapo is much better at handling pretty much everything and is less limited... I like playing them both for their differences. Maybe I'll convert my LemEdit levels to Cheapo... if it would get people to play them X_X

I keep meaning to sit down and give my all to your second levelpack, Shvegait, as the levels seem somewhat easier. But a lot in your other packs are too easy to just give up on.

Anyway, I've just fixed the backroutes from 'Can't find any Gaps'. Download level or levelpack or all levels and levelpacks.

I just realized that I had a pack completed and I forgot to repost it here. &#A0;Recently, some unknown, mysteriuos force has forced me to take the editor's chair again and create some wonderful new levels. &#A0;Being a level designer can really test your patience if you come up with one hard level.

Well, here is pack 1 Pack 1-Meet the Lemmings

Oh yes, level 3 requires the graphics file from "A Beast of a Level" (Fun 22) to work. I think it is Vgaspec3 (Thanks Ice Eagle!). Actually, you should copy all the spec files into your LemEdit folder if you have them...

I can't open that level (fun 22) even with the spec file! Help!

Conway · « **Reply #72 on:** March 10, 2005, 12:52:57 AM »

I wasn't aware that these levels could be opened in LemEdit. Are people now saying that they can?

Timballisto · « **Reply #73 on:** March 10, 2005, 10:23:23 AM »

I don't know. That's exactly what I'm asking. I think awhile back though, there was a topic about how people could change the colors of a special graphics level. Maybe that's all it was.

Timballisto · « **Reply #74 on:** March 13, 2005, 04:18:58 PM »

Well, my level pack is now complete...but, note, that my packs contain 8 levels. Someday, I shall convert them into the proper ten level format. Oh, and another notice-I am currently unable to upload my level packs due to circumstances beyond my control. I wouldn't upload it anyhow because I have not yet completed the commentary file, and due to my attention to quality, I will always have one included in my level packs.

I am currently working on a third pack.

Oh, and my levels in the second pack are

-Lemming Tool & Die Co.
-Lemmings vs. The Steel Industry
-But it's down there!
-The Lon Lon
-It was April, 1954, when...
-Transmission Interuption Lemming
-The Icey Collision
-THE ULTIMATE MINER

If you manage to get mouse support in LemEdit in XP, please let us know how! Nobody here can do it either. :-(

However, if you download Cheapo, you can make levels for that instead!

Shvegait · « **Reply #80 on:** April 05, 2005, 03:30:02 AM »

Oh yeah, Timballisto, I tried out your pack a couple days ago (but temporarily lost internet so I couldn't post about it). It's pretty cool, there are still a few levels I haven't beaten, but I didn't spend too much time yet.

For "The Icey Collision", I think the exit is misaligned (Y-coordinate, or perhaps Z), because my lemmings didn't go in. Then I thought maybe there was a hidden exit, but I guess not.

For "But it's down there!", this has actually been done before. See Garjen's "Nuclear Bomb", I forget what pack #. (I'm trying to think, there might be another level that uses something similar.) It's still cool, but there's one thing you should be aware of, and that's that you can get much more than 6% by ending early. Why wait for all 80 lemmings to come out, when your score is based on the percentage of lemmings that have come out *so far*?

My solution to "Lemming Tool & Die Co." didn't use the climber at all, and it wasn't as complicated as yours. I won't say what it is exactly, but it was fairly straightforward.

Nice scenery

Timballisto · « **Reply #81 on:** April 05, 2005, 10:39:26 AM »

lol. Thanks about the scenery. I'm surprised you still have some levels left to beat, considering that you made the others all look easy!

Out of curiosity, could you PM me the solution to "Lemming Tool & Die Co." that you used? I thought it might be easy to backroute, but for some reason, I never saw any! I guess this happens a lot.

Oh, and I had the same problem on the ice level to, only I thought I fixed that O_o. Oh well. Guess I just have to fix the pack.

What levels have you solved?

Conway · « **Reply #82 on:** April 05, 2005, 05:30:41 PM »

Oooh, what a fun levelpack! Yes, the scenery is very good. I enjoyed these levels very much.

The Icy Collision - There is the problem with the alignment of the exit, but this can easily be solved by building a few steps into the exit. Or why not put a small step behind it to elevate the lemmings as they walk in? That's what I do.

The Ultimate Miner - This one was fun, and it uses a smart trick. Have you tried my 'A Springboard would be Handy'? It uses the same trick, but admittedly it's less visually impressive.

It was April, 1954, when . . . - Probably my least favourite. It just seems about placing the builder and bomber, and it's frustrating as well, and not in a good way.

But it's Down There - Yes, this has been done before, and if you wait until you have 18 lemmings out, with the builder and blocker in place, you can use the nuke and it will calculate the percentage out of just the eighteen. I managed 33% that way. Still, cool level!

Lemming Tool and Die Co. - I don't know what the intended solution is with a climber. I must have used the same backroute as Shvegait. It's a fun level, even with the backroute!

Transmission Interruption Lemming - What's the intended solution? I passed it, it just seems overly simplistic for this far in the pack.

Lemmings vs the steel industry - Nice level!

The Lon Lon - Took a while to figure out; I like that. What's with the title?

Timballisto · « **Reply #83 on:** April 05, 2005, 07:13:33 PM »

Thanks for your feedback, and thanks for trying the levels. &#A0;I'm glad you liked them all. &#A0;I put a fair amount of thought into them, more so than my other ones that's for sure. &#A0;So, for my second pack, is this pretty good?

So...wait...you played Tool and Die without the climber, but you used everything else? &#A0;Hmm. &#A0;Methinks that maybe I need more time between when a floater lands and when it burns up! &#A0;But, if I am to fix my problems I must know the back routes. &#A0;I would appreciate a PM with the backroutes, especially for Transmission Interuption Lemming, which I already fixed once in testing.

The Icey Collision thing I will fix eventually. &#A0;It takes a good time to relaunch a pack due to data transfer issues.

Oh, and "The Lon Lon" is what I named a level because I design in the basement, and my game cube is in the basement, and we have the legend of zelda ocarina of time for game cube, and my brother was goofing off in Lon Lon. &#A0;There you have it.

Oh, and about Transmission Interuption Lemming-have you read the readme with the pack? It contains all level solutions, so you can find the intended one there.

Conway · « **Reply #84 on:** April 07, 2005, 01:45:54 PM »

The solution I used for Transmission Interruption Lemming isn't much simpler than yours, but it does use one less builder and saves 92%. Here's how:

Lem1 from the right builds against the first step and turns, builds to catch the free-fallers, then make lem2 mine from right-hand wall to make a path for the others. When the bridge is far enough, make the builder mine. Finally bash the wall to the right; release rate 99. In fact, if you make the last lemming who would have died from the left, build where he lands to delay him, you can use the spare builder and save one more; 95%.

Shvegait · « **Reply #85 on:** April 07, 2005, 07:53:01 PM »

That's almost identically the solution I used as well.

Timballisto · « **Reply #86 on:** April 07, 2005, 07:55:34 PM »

Is that route really even preventable without so much change in the level as to altar the original solution? It doesn't sound like it is! Nice solution by the way.

What do you all think of my level packs?

Conway · « **Reply #102 on:** May 03, 2005, 01:19:17 AM »

I've just played the first two packs. I wish there was something positive I could say about them. Sorry, but they are just too simple and uncreative. Half the levels in the first pack can be completed with using builders alone, and all of the remakes are easier than their originals. Seriously, what's the point in remaking 'Just Dig' with the same solution but more skills? O_o

Also, while it's okay to use levels from the original game as templates, it's polite to ask permission to use levels of fans in such a way.

Shvegait · « **Reply #103 on:** May 03, 2005, 02:32:47 AM »

Sorry to say, but I have to agree with Conway. I've played through your first and fifth packs in full and glanced at your second. I tried the third, but the levels wouldn't load. Also, the fourth pack's level 5 wouldn't work, not sure about the levels beyond it.

The levels are very easy. One level that wasn't as easy was "Radio is dead". It's still not hard, but at least you are limited in your tools and need to save 100%. But besides that all of your levels are your typical Fun rating fare. Except that after those 30 they're not very fun anymore.

So keep working on your design and try to incorporate some puzzles to your levels.

Timballisto · « **Reply #104 on:** May 03, 2005, 09:26:22 AM »

My first level pack wasn't good either. Try again if you have to. Work on a process for developing levels from scratch - you might be surprised with what you get. I know that I got a process down when I started my second level pack, and it has helped magnificently.

Conway · « **Reply #105 on:** May 03, 2005, 01:44:28 PM »

JM, I almost forgot to ask, is 'Hold On' from your second pack possible at all? I have a vague idea of how it might work, but it would be infinitely more difficult than any of your other levels. That's the only one from your first two packs I haven't passed.

JM · « **Reply #106 on:** May 03, 2005, 06:22:37 PM »

Well, I was making levels recently, and I didn't know it until I combined the levels from my mom's house and my dad's house, but, all I have to do to complete pack 3 is get done with testing another level...and of course do the readme.

Only problem is the level I want to test is basically a multitasking disaster, meaning I could try it 50 times before I get it right!

Level names-

-Box of Lemmings-Econo Size
-Box of Tranquility...or not
-So who's on first?
-The Selhajek Arbenition
-THE DOMINATIVE IS THE INEVITABLE
-The Secret of the Hidden Lake
-Right left ace of spades & side ace

For the last level...which if you don't use Custlemm isn't really the last level...I have two possibilities because I have two levels in testing. I am trying to get the harder one, "This, my friends, is Finland..." tested so I can finalize the pack.

options for last level

-This, my friends, is Finland...
-Kauf, kauft, kaufen Sie...

Hi to everybody!! Do you remember me? I'm sure that Conway and Dragonslover can remember me.

It has benn a long time since I played lemmings for the last time, but I'm planning to return to do it.
Unfortunately, the language makes that I cannot write very often to comment your levels and so, because my english is bad and I spend hours to write a post correcty LOL
But I see that you have not left the designing of levels

I was planning to make a new lemedit pack.
Since I have been out of here for more than one year, I'm not updated. Is possible to make levels with the vgaspec.dat files? How can we do it? And what is "Lemedit2"? It's a new version? Sorry if the answers are written in other posts, but I cannot read all.

When you said "without mouse", do you mean you actually don't have a working mouse on your computer, or just that you couldn't get LemEdit to run with mouse support?

Because if it is the latter, there is currently a partial solution to get mouse working in LemEdit when run under Windows. See this thread:

My first 5 levels are ready. They are quite short and use several tricks.
So, I cannot say whether they'll be hard for you or not, but I think they're not too easy.
First, Syn1 is only solvable in WinLemm or versions, in which an exploding Lemming turns other Lemmings around.
Syn2 is also not solvable in DOS Lemmings.
mmethod, I showed that level already, solvable in both.
fplace and cliff are also solvable in both.

I hope you'll give them a try.

WARNING: MANY OF THESE LEVEL PACKS MAY NOT WORK RIGHT!

http://www.familylees.net/~boofer/DOSlvl1.zip

NOTE: These are simply all the packs in my Custlemm folder. Do not be offended if one of your levels from the competition is inculded in this. I do not claim to have made them. I did leave out the ones that I am certain that someone else made.

Some good levels are in those packs.Especially the level Tightrope Murder.I don't know who made Twined serpants think alike or Peers of Steal or some of the other levels in those packs.

Insane Steve I played on your level Why can't they just run!.The walkthrough to complete it seemed to be wrong but I found a way to complete it.

chaos_defrost · « **Reply #143 on:** June 27, 2005, 02:46:03 PM »

The walkthrough solution exploits an in-game glitch -- make sure only one lemming is in the level when you use the command.

Although, tumble_weed figured out a much, much better, not cheap solution to the level. So there is another way, if you care to find it.

I'm very close to abandoning the level "This, my friends, is Finland..." and putting in place of it "Kauf, Kauft, Kaufen Sie...". This means that I will probably have pack 3 out sooner than exepected.

Really? Thanks! So I take it you liked my other packs or something?

Oh, and I have decided to go with Kauf, Kauft, Kaufen Sie instead of Finland. After awhile I realized two things - Finland isn't really humanly possible, and if someone can do it...well, that's just crazy. Not only that but the level wasn't that much fun. Kauf is much more fun and it's definitely possible. I especially like watching the lemmings go to the exit for some reason.

I wrote up the solutions last night. Now, I need only to zip up the pack and upload it!

Oh, and I suppose I'll upload finland as well. That way I can let other people test it.

I agree with everyone about Finland but that's not why I posted just now. I made a level. I'm not sure what t do for a solution or anything but I should have a pack up soon...in a while..eventually. When playing Finland, it would be wise to make use of the pause hotkey if you haven't already done so.

Timballisto has come VERY close to beating Finland.. he lost one lemming I think.

Ok, I had a look at the level.

Hardly impossible, though perhaps slightly annoying at times, and requires lots of pausing.

Since it's July 4th over here at the US, I'm probably not going to stay on the computer too long, but I could probably beat the level within a day or two at most.

Nice level design by the way. B) It'd be nice though if the rest of the level besides the starting screen serves a purpose, other than just mere decoration as it is now.

I haven't even downloaded the level yet.

However, now that I've more or less exhausted the improvements on the lemmings and ONML challenges, I think I will take a look at your level.

Do you want the level played in Lemmings or Custlemm? (I asked because Custlemm has a higher safe-falling distance, which might or might not affect the solutions to your level.)

Oh, I should say that if your level involves ridiculous amounts of precisely-timed bombers, I will probably not play with it for too long.

(I'm not a big fan of precisely-timed bombers, especially without a replay feature.)

I've now beaten the level. I even have a screenshot:

http://www.geocities.com/guestlevels/lemmings/finland.png

As you can see, the level can be completed with actually just half the floaters and builders you provided. I did the level in Lemmings instead of Custlemm, though I don't think it matters in this case.

The RR of 50 seems scary until you play the level, at which point it becomes obvious that with 4 entrances, an RR of 50 doesn't mean much.

<laugh>Well I hope it works for you. I actually found the hardest thing about this level to be not so much where to build, but to keep track of everything that's going on at once. There are so many times where I was focusing on a certain part of the level, only to miss some builder on the other side of the screen who just finishes building, and by the time I notice, he already falls off the bridge and dies. X_X

Good luck! And remember that you don't have to do everything exactly the way the screenshot shows. What I did isn't always the easiest thing to do even if it works. Feel free to use more builders and floaters as needed. And use the pause button every second or so.

Timballisto · « **Reply #164 on:** July 05, 2005, 01:15:21 PM »

How many times did you try the level anyway?

Maybe it seemed hard because of the fact that my screen will flicker randomly and my pause button does not always work.

I didn't mean for all of the bridges to be used, but I wante d to limit the number you could have.

Timballisto · « **Reply #167 on:** July 06, 2005, 02:36:55 AM »

I have started work on pack 4, and so far I've turned out some nice levels using the ONML sets. This is interesting because I get to see the capabilities of a lot of new sets. I especially like the bubble set for its wide variety and good balance of piece types (bumpy/flat). So far I've got four levels, and they're pretty good I think.

I'm excited to get my first ONML set done. Wish everyone luck on their sets!

Oh, and my level names...so far-

-I think we forgot something
-"I suppose that's an exception?"
-Another one o' them line levels?
-QUICK EVACUATION PROCEDURE #57

Proxima · « **Reply #168 on:** July 06, 2005, 04:11:09 AM »

Cool. I also love the bubbles style; it has an excellent variety, though really the contrast between bumpy and flat is there in all the styles to some extent, except Dirt where the only flat pieces are metal, which you might not want.

Even though I can't play people's LemEdit levels, I like reading level titles, partly because many of them are clever or witty in some way, but mostly because I want to make sure I'm not duplicating them with any of my titles. I know it's not a crime to duplicate someone's title accidentally, but for some reason I have a real problem with using a title someone else has used.

The ONML snow and Xmas snow styles are also pretty much all bumpy (think "white dirt"

). I think the ONML snow style's only non-metal flat piece is a small white rectangular strip.

JM · « **Reply #171 on:** July 06, 2005, 10:06:36 AM »

The ONML graphics are better than the Original Lemmings graphics.If you have played on my sets you will notice that the first 3 or 4 level packs of mine don't contain ONML graphics but the levels further on use them.

Whoops, when I was browsing that graphics set in LemEdit, I only saw piece #33, which is really just a small, one-color, white rectangle (I'm not even sure if it's ever used anywhere). What I missed was piece #15, which is the rectangular portion of those pillars on, say, Havoc 1, and as you pointed out can be used to form large walls.

Few, if any of my levels use the terrains that heavily rely on non-straight terrains. I love the ONML brick set, because it's practically all straight. My mind works best with straight terrains for whatever reason.

I've not had much time to work with LemEdit [or Cheapo], with two jobs, Yoshi's World (the game version) to work on, and poker games to play (and win at). That said, if I bust out a tenth pack, I'll definitely post it here.

? Huh? What about it. Maybe you don't know why this is a problem. I'll explain in steps how I would usually transfer files to the internet.

1.Put the file onto my brother's computer via our network in the basement (not connected to the upstairs).
2.Put the file on a disk using the floppy drive in my brother's computer.
3.Bring the disk upstairs.
4.Put the disk into my mom's (note: my mom's. I can't use it for level editing >=E ) computer.
5.Transfer the file over the upstairs network to the mac.
6.Get on the mac and put the file up on my mom's server.

done

Without my brother's computer, I'm cut off from the world as far as my lemmings activity is concerned. It's all because my stupid floppy drive is broke...

The walkthrough solution exploits an in-game glitch -- make sure only one lemming is in the level when you use the command.

Although, tumble_weed figured out a much, much better, not cheap solution to the level. So there is another way, if you care to find it.

I now know that for some levels you have to save 1 lemming which will take your score up to 100%.When they come out you activate the nuke and then the lemming gets to the exit and its 100%.That is not the only level you have to do that with.

I played on Tumble Weeds level Looking Out For Number One and you have to do that sort of thing.I played on one of Conway's levels Dyslexia and you have to do that sort of thing aswell.

Timballisto · « **Reply #184 on:** July 09, 2005, 02:59:45 PM »

I already told you, the downstairs computers do not have the internet. &#A0;I know it's complicated but the last time my mom hooked up my computer and my brother's to the internet, it was a disaster. &#A0;A worm got into my brother's computer and mine and ate something like 1000 files. &#A0;I'm surprised our computers still work. &#A0;How did the worm get in? &#A0;Well, Ax and I are stuck with old 98 computers that have no virus protection. &#A0;The computers themself have low ram and about 6 gigs of hard drive space. &#A0;They were doing what we wanted them to do...until there was a sudden release of a bunch of games where the minimum requirements said "WIN98SE/ME/WIN2000/XP"...gr...oh, and the ones that didn't say that said "Minimum RAM: 256Mb" even more grrr...

I hate that. &#A0;Oh well. &#A0;Nothing I can really do about it.

Oh, and by the way. &#A0;Last night I got into Ax's computer, and the stupid video card was okay, it had only come unplugged &#A0;XE . &#A0;So, I plugged it back in, tightened up some screws, and then it wouldn't boot &#A0;XE . &#A0;So, when I rebooted it, I started in safe mode, and got rid of the stupid drivers mom tried to install to fix the problem even though the computer specifically said it was a hardware problem, and that fixed it. &#A0;I suppose the drivers were causing a conflict that was bad enough to stop the system from booting.

In short - I fixed it. &#A0;I can put up levels again (and get them!).

My last resort is to print the hex code out (which is a job in itself) and manually enter it into a Hex Editor. So, do not expect any packs from me in the near future.

*talks to self*
5 pages of code with about 50 lines on each page, 20 bytes per line, and 2 characters per byte. That is going to take me forever.
