How to create a level pack?

[WillLem]

Hi all,

Please can someone let me know how I can compile levels into a level pack for NeoLemmix and/or SuperLemmini?

If there is already a topic for this, please feel free to redirect me and I'll delete this post - I just haven't been able to find it.

Cheers,

The easiest way should be with the PackToolkit that come with the NL download. It should be present in your main NL directory.

You could also peek inside the "levels" folder and see how the other packs are structured and manually create a new pack by creating a new folder inside the "levels" folder and mimic the other packs.  Help for that: https://www.lemmingsforums.net/index.php?topic=4335.0

A new pack in general is nothing more than an additional folder inside the "levels" folder that has a certain folder structure inside, a few regulatory textfiles (relatively easy to understand and customise) and the levels. As this is always similar just by coping that from other packs you can create your own.

Flopsy's tutorial video could also provide further help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPHVexoLB8c

This tool is no longer supported, and is certianly not included with the NL download anymore - but the last version of it can be downloaded standalone. You're free to try using it, but be aware that it's no longer being updated and does not support 100% of features. If you are using it, be very pedantic with keeping backups of your work - it's had some errors that cause data loss in the past.

I've updated this topic with a new post, that takes a different approach - whereas the first post is more a list of "here's everything you can do", the second post is a step by step to go from "I've just got some random levels" to "Here's my pack, properly sorted into ranks etc".

Brilliant, this is what I was looking for. I have only just begun creating levels really so it won't be relevant for a while yet, but it's nice to know the info is there.
