Level pack topic

[guest]

How many times did you try the level anyway?

A lot...I lost track, but I think there's about 1-1.5 hours of playing in this.

But yes, fortunately the screen and the pause button functions correctly on my computer.

Me and GM are working on a new level pack and we hope it should be finished in a week or two.

Hopefully looking forward to everyone's new level packs coming out.

I have started work on pack 4, and so far I've turned out some nice levels using the ONML sets.  This is interesting because I get to see the capabilities of a lot of new sets.  I especially like the bubble set for its wide variety and good balance of piece types (bumpy/flat).  So far I've got four levels, and they're pretty good I think.

I'm excited to get my first ONML set done.  Wish everyone luck on their sets!

Oh, and my level names...so far-

-I think we forgot something
-"I suppose that's an exception?"
-Another one o' them line levels?
-QUICK EVACUATION PROCEDURE #57

Cool. I also love the bubbles style; it has an excellent variety, though really the contrast between bumpy and flat is there in all the styles to some extent, except Dirt where the only flat pieces are metal, which you might not want.

Even though I can't play people's LemEdit levels, I like reading level titles, partly because many of them are clever or witty in some way, but mostly because I want to make sure I'm not duplicating them with any of my titles. I know it's not a crime to duplicate someone's title accidentally, but for some reason I have a real problem with using a title someone else has used.

Or does can't mean won't?

except Dirt where the only flat pieces are metal, which you might not want.

The ONML snow and Xmas snow styles are also pretty much all bumpy (think "white dirt"  ).  I think the ONML snow style's only non-metal flat piece is a small white rectangular strip.

I love the bubble set it rocks.

The ONML graphics are better than the Original Lemmings graphics.If you have played on my sets you will notice that the first 3 or 4 level packs of mine don't contain ONML graphics but the levels further on use them.

Shvegait: no, I haven't. And in any case I'm staying with my girlfriend for the next couple of months.

guest: what you say about the snow style is true, BUT you can use that one piece to make large rectangular walls (see Havoc 4). In my new snow style I've made it even easier by including pieces that are just a few of those put next to each other.

Whoops, when I was browsing that graphics set in LemEdit, I only saw piece #33, which is really just a small, one-color, white rectangle (I'm not even sure if it's ever used anywhere).  What I missed was piece #15, which is the rectangular portion of those pillars on, say, Havoc 1, and as you pointed out can be used to form large walls.

So in other words, you haven't and you won't.  (Or is that last bit more along the lines of "I can't, or she'll...)

Well, I'm a bit reluctant to download onto other people's computers, especially for something as frivolous as Lemmings.

[guest]

Ah.  I was under the impression that you brought a laptop or something, since you said you can still access Cheapo.

[chaos_defrost]

Few, if any of my levels use the terrains that heavily rely on non-straight terrains. I love the ONML brick set, because it's practically all straight. My mind works best with straight terrains for whatever reason.

I've not had much time to work with LemEdit [or Cheapo], with two jobs, Yoshi's World (the game version) to work on, and poker games to play (and win at). That said, if I bust out a tenth pack, I'll definitely post it here.

@Timballisto: I've downloaded the pack. Comments soon.

[JM]

I love the ONML brick sets too.They are ace.I can't wait to play on your tenth pack.I'll look forward to playing it.

Anyway Me and GM finished Pack 2.

Hope you have fun playing on both packs.

DISASTER!!!!  My brother's computer looks like it's about at the end of its life span, and it can no longer function well enough to give me access to the A drive on his computer.  So, my lemmings designing computer is cut off from any other computers and it doesn't have internet.  In short - I will be unable to put out any packs...probably for a LONG time...
