Level themes

[Proxima]

By the by, has anyone made the Original Graphics sets for Cheapo? I notice Cheapo has got the Original "Diggin' through Dirt" style in there somewhere. But the other styles aren't there.

Yes, I have. All five original styles plus the extended graphics (Tricky 14, Taxing 15, Mayhem 22). And as a bonus, the Yellow Dirt style from the Genesis/Megadrive version.

They're not quite ready for release yet -- but you can download pre-release versions of the Pink style at http://www.geocities.com/zarathustra47/Twenty.zip and the Blue style at http://www.geocities.com/zarathustra47/Collaboration.zip . If you're really desperate, I guess I could let you have the others..... though I hadn't planned to give them to anyone until they were ready for full release......

The Hell style is in the same vein as the Pink style, although the thing putting the Pink style ahead of this one is that the Hell style has no "non-constant" traps.

Ah, but I'm adding a few traps of my own devising to my styles. There will be a "kill one lemming" trap in the Hell style.

COOLIES!

On another note, does anyone have any of the following done for Cheapo Lemmings?

SMS - All the themes, complete
SNES - Pink mainly, cos the colour is not as pink, but sorta blander
SPECIAL - A BEAST of a level, MENACE!, What an AWESOME level!, A BEAST II of a level

[Proxima]

Adam remade the SMS styles; I don't know if he still has them. I have them on my computer at home, if you're OK about waiting a couple of months.

I've sent you my Extended style, which contains the Menacing, Awesome and BeastII graphics. I left Beast out, because the level is pretty much impossible to divide into separate bits, and it would be far too much work to redraw the tops of all the trees that go off screen -- just one on the BeastII style was hard enough!

I remember Adam mentioned working on it a long while ago.  Don't remember if it is ever completed or released.

SNES - Pink mainly, cos the colour is not as pink, but sorta blander

Wow, picky one here, aren't you?    (I personally didn't remember that difference, but that's just me I guess)

I suppose if you're really desperate, maybe you can beg Ahribar to make a modifed version of his Pink Style that mutes the colors accordingly, assuming he has a decent enough graphics editing program that supports color adjustments (Photoshop for example).  Though honestly I think half the people on the planet would wonder why there are 2 "identical" versions of the same style if he did this.

SPECIAL - A BEAST of a level, MENACE!, What an AWESOME level!, A BEAST II of a level

I think Ahribar has planned to cover this.  Unfortunately, not the first BEAST though, because if I remember correctly, he said the trees are too clumped together to separate out, so you might as well just screen capture the entire level's terrain and paste it in your own level, which kinda defeats the purpose of styles in general.

whoops, posted at same time, except 5 minutes apart because I'm just that much wordier.

Yes.... my girlfriend has Photoshop, so I could make the SNES Pink style, if I could find a good level image to work from. (The SNES images on Planet Lemmings, annoying, don't seem to like being opened in a separate window.)

As for "two identical versions of the same style", I already did two dirt styles -- but then, the Genesis dirt style really does have a completely different look and feel to the regular one, I think it was worth it.

You can still right-click on them to get a URL.  Turns out to be of the form:

Note that only the SNES Sunsoft levels have unique pictures; the ones for the other ratings are the same pics used for the Amiga/PC/Mac/(etc.) pages.  I also cannot actually vouch that the pics there are really from the SNES as opposed to the Genesis or something, but maybe you can tell.

[Proxima]

Thanks; I got there in the end though. And indeed the graphics and objects for the SNES Pink style are ready now; but I'd need to work on the standards and images before I was ready to release it as a style.

The SNES Sunsoft images are definitely not from the Genesis/Megadrive version; the Genesis pink style looks pretty much the same as the Amiga/Mac one (i.e. pink), not brown as it does on the SNES. So I'd say those are probably authentic images.

wow cool i made a themes request line now O.o

[JM]

My favourite kind of levels are the pink graphics,red brick graphics and the crystal graphics.

[Isu]

Then you are not going to like my first pack...

[JasonXV]

why is that

[Isu]

I was talking to JM, I meant that there are no levels that use those styles he mentioned in my first Lemedit pack.

[JasonXV]

i know you were talking to JM, i wondered.

and now i laughed.

I'm not really sure to be honest, I like a variety myself, and I do not dislike any of them, although I feel the hell one is a little overused. If I had to choose though, it would be either the fossil or the olympics one.
