Hey all! http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/smiley.gif" alt=":)" title="Smiley" class="smiley" />

I was wondering how do the level codes of Oh no! More Lemmings are generated. I remember a post where a guy found the level code for the non-existing level passed Mayhem 30 in the original Lemmings game so that you could get weird level ratings. Here, I'd like to do the same trick, but for ONML. Can you please help me?

Thanks!

Herman Perk managed to find out how the codes to Lemmings and ONML are generated, and documented it.

Below is the original archive:

pro-EFL-tip: you don't insert "do" on a question with "to be". Sorry, I can't resist correcting. http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/winktounge.gif" alt=";P" title="Wink-Tongue" class="smiley" />

This looks like the sort of thing that would be relevant to my interests. http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink" class="smiley" /> I had a quick read through the file geoo posted, and I'm not sure how that helps you generate codes for non-existent levels and weird ratings. Can someone please explain, or at least provide an example of such a code?
