Extended graphic sets in Lemmings

[JM]

When you use a hex editor to mess with the VGASPECx.dat graphics they just mess up in the game and cause problems.I wished someone knew a good way to edit the VGASPECx.dat graphics.

Well, actually I don't think I really crashed the game...well, I did, but it was still doing stuff, although you couldn't get out of it.

It looked cool.

I'm going to keep messing around just to see what happens.

Oh, and when I edited the ground0 file the levels colors changed even though I didn't change anything after the first 448 bytes.

If you look in these level packs you will find a level with extended graphics.

Also you will find a level with extended graphics in TWPAK11.dat which can be downloaded from http://www.garjen.co.uk

Does anyone know a program that edits the Extended graphics?

[Proxima]

Cheapo, if you've got the style "MichaelXtnd". Unfortunately it isn't publicly released yet since I'm still waiting on guest to finish the music for it.

I have the songs for the levels in Lemmings that use extended graphics. I have been getting the hang of editing the objects of the levels that use extended graphics. I made a level with extended graphics and edited objects.

If you use Cheapo, you don't really need to wait for anyone to make a style for you.  Cheapo lets you paste from the clipboard arbitrary bitmaps you copied there.  So starting with a screenshot of the special graphics level in question, you can open it up in MS Paint or something and just copied various portions of it, then paste into the Cheapo level editor.

Besides, why not think about copying graphics from other games instead?  After all, aren't the "special graphics" of Lemmings themselves just copied from various DMA Amiga games?

JM: do you mean that you have the songs in MIDI format? If so could you send them to me? The address is zarathustra47 [at] yahoo.com. Would be much appreciated.

They were, yes; but then, you know that I've already thought about copying graphics from other games; you've seen my Minesweeper and Repton 2 levels.

[guest]

um, that was a reply to JM actually.

[Proxima]

Well, yes. Still worth saying, I thought.

[JM]

I only have the midis for A beast of a level and A BeastII of a level.

I have them somewhere on a CD.When I find them I will give them to you.

[geoo]

Well, I also have the two beast level midis (I downloaded them from guest I think), and the midi of menacing.
Just tell me which of those you need and I'll send them to you.

[JM]

I haven't got the midi of menacing or the midi of What an AWESOME level. They are the only ones I don't have. Send them to me at thetransplants2@hotmail.com

[Proxima]

geo: I'd like all of them. My address is further up this page.

[guest]

Well, if geoo89 did indeed got them from me, then you should already have them, which also means they haven't been edited for looping and all that other stuff yet.

And I thought I mentioned already that www.vgmusic.com has the MIDI for Menacing, which I'm definitely not planning to do since that MIDI is already pretty good to begin with.

Hope I'm wrong though, that way there's less for me to deal with.
