Lemmings Editor

[Mike]

Hay! I just found my original Lemmings editor disk!
I'd thought Id lost it, and while putting my Amiga stuff in the loft, there it was....

Typical really, I now need that to get screen shots of it for my web page, and its now all in the loft!

BTW its dated 12/10/90, which is when the "rush" for final levels started.

Cool! Are you going to share it with us or keep it for yourself?

[DragonsLover]

Very interesting!

Also Mike, sorry if I still repeat it, do you have the 2-players levels of Lemmings?

[Mike]

Im  not sure yet. I dont really want to piss off Sony

Well, I guess you could just load the ones from the game to get them. Russell told me the other day that he's sure he still has the level decompressor in his utils directory... so we can probably still "extract" them.
Thats the thing about programmers.... we build up a tools directory and it follows us everywhere. I still use old tools I wrote over 10 years ago!

The Level editor uses DMADOS though..  which means even if you edit and play... Im not sure you could easily extract the levels onto a normal Amiga Dos partition...

I'll have to think about it some more.

I'm a little confused about all this.  Isn't there already LemEdit out there which can edit levels straight from DOS Lemmings, in compressed form?  So do we really need another level editor for DOS Lemmings?

[Mike]

I havent used that one. This is the offical one I used to make Lemmings... it may also have some "unused" levels that didn't make it I guess...

Its also Amiga based...

[Conway]

Can it be used in DOS?

[Mike]

Its Amiga based...

I guess you could use it inside winUAE or something like that, then extract the levels to use on the DOS one.

Amiga/ST/Dos versions all used the same level data.
