CustLemm Level List Game

Ugh, while I can't say I know the specifics of whatever scripting language they use to run this forum, I am seriously becoming more and more compelled to take a deep look at the smiley codes so we can fix problems like this once and for all.

Actually, what we really need is a "no smilies" tag.  You would think that if there's a checkbox to turn off smilies for the whole message, it should be relatively easy to turn smilies on/off within a message.

When is Level 3 being reviewed?

Do it yourself if you like!

It's a CGI board, so I think the amount of hacks you can do is limited.  I prefer PHP/mySQL boards myself, that's why I run an Invision Power Board, which has never had smiley problems.

He doesn't seem to be online a lot so I could review it

[Shvegait]

Skills: 20 climbers,3 builders,3 diggers

You get 5 diggers actually, not 3.

[JM]

Thank you Shvegait. I've changed the 3 to a 5.

[Leviathan]

Too bad I can't beat any of this pack's levels,otherwise I would have revieuwed the next level.

[ccexplore]

You get 5 diggers actually, not 3.

Oh good (I haven't actually played or even examined the levels yet in LemEdit).  For a while I was worried about being stumped already by the third level (thereby presumably third easiest) in your set!

Very interesting levels, maybe I'll actually play them sometime in the future (not now though, can't you hear Ahribar's nagging me about the MIDIs? )

[JM]

I was able to pass the 5th level and that level wasn't too bad. Shvegait I'd love to see Pack 4.

Maybe I should review the 4th level of Shveg01.dat



Shveg01 - Level 4: Secret Hideout

Number of Lemmings: 60
To be saved: 90%
RR: 50
Time: 2 minutes
Skills: 6 climbers,6 blockers,6 builders,1 miner

Good: Level's hard and uses good set of skills

Bad: The solution is fairly obvious

[Shvegait]

Bad: The solution is fairly obvious

I couldn't really find a way to obfuscate the solution and still require the trick.  :-(

[JM]

I was meaning it's fairly obvious how you can find a way to complete the level.

[ccexplore]

Interesting.  During my earlier days of LemEdit 5-6 years ago (back when I created the LemEdit version of "If Only They Could Swim", which I do plan to release in LemEdit form eventually), I had a similar idea for a level, only on my level you have people climb up, then do the trick, and then build to go from one ____ to the next and then to the exit on top.  (Sorry if this is a little unclear but I'm trying not to reveal Shvegait's puzzle idea.)

I haven't planned to release that level though because I thought the precision is too annoying (although maybe it's partly because of how I setup the terrain), but maybe I can throw it into a "cut levels" set sometime in the future.  (Very far future, as I haven't even actually make the 10 levels I want to make yet.)

[ccexplore]

I was meaning it's fairly obvious how you can find a way to complete the level. Use the <snip>. That's a good trick to use.

Please edit your post.  Some people might not want to accidentally read it, since you basically are giving away the solution to the level.

Note: that post was a reply to Shvegait, not to JM.  JM's post that gave away everything wasn't even there yet when I wrote.
