OK, OK, I finally got a 21/23 solution, and I've checked your hints and they seem to match.

But.. you never know, so I'll PM the solution anyway.

Yep, it's the intended route.

Well done and thanks for finding all the backdoors for this level.

Someday I'll have to make a cheapo level or two

A warning, though: After working with LemEdit for periods of time, the Cheapo design processes are rather different due to the way the editor works. It'll take you some getting used to.

It took me about 10 levels with Cheapo to even be comfortable with the software.

Okay. The only problem is I don't have Cheapo

Where can I get it from?

Mindless · September 07, 2005, 09:29:23 PM

DragonsLover's old site:

For my website, I really need to change it!

I've planned to do another Lemmings website that will contain all the Cheapo-levels made and all the CustLemm-levels made with the screenshots, number of skills, vote system... (like the old VTM website).

Of course, I've just planned this. For now, I'm studying a lot. I'll create the website when I'll be free!

The website will be bilingual, so it will be verrry long to make! If someone is interested to help me for the future website, just ask me! For now, it's just a dream!

Sounds all good to me Dragonslover

I'm working on two cheapo levels at the moment. One is a level where you have to build over the gap to the exit and sorry if it's a bad level. The other level is a re-make of The Blue Line which is located in JM04.dat if anyone has played on that level. The cheapo level editor is great I'm loving it.

What's that?

VTM is the site that originally hosted downloads of LemEdit. (It calls itself a company, whatever that really means.) It also hosts LemEdit levelsets that various people have made, such as Martin Zulinder (sorry for misspelled), Juanjo, etc. I think it even held a contest once for the best Lemedit levelset or something like that.

But it didn't last too long, and I forgot when, but eventually the site simply went dead and disappeared from the web. By the time I discovered LemEdit about 4-5 years ago, the site was already pretty inactive though still up. Now it's long gone.

It wasn't entirely clear to me whether the VTM site is directly managed by the person who wrote/created LemEdit and/or CustLemm.

The vote system was something the site setup for people to rate each other's levels or levelsets. (I don't really remember well because, as I said, by the time I discovered it, it was already pretty inactive.)

One thing that site really lacked was a discussion forum like this one. Then again, maybe back then web-based discussion forums just aren't widespread enough for most people to learn to set up. I think had there been a forum, the site would have a better chance of staying alive and up a little longer.

VTM had a [link=http://web.archive.org/web/20030225212840/vtm.hypermart.net/Pages/Lemm/Levels/Levels01.htm#EmLevels]system that allowed you to vote[/link] for your favorite levels. The level with the most votes at the end of the month became the "Level of Month." As seen [link=http://web.archive.org/web/20030416233554/vtm.hypermart.net/Pages/Lemm/Levels/Winners/May2000.htm]here[/link].

Edit: Dang it, you beat me to it.

Edit 2: I'm quite sure Tomas Pavlicek ran VTM's site and programmed LemEdit; he also didn't speak very good English.

Ha, no kidding. That "manual" he wrote for LemEdit is a total piece of cow droppings.
