Lemmings Revolution

jkapp76 · November 21, 2021, 02:07:34 AM

I made this patched version a while ago and didn't think I missed anything. You might have some luck downloading the patch and experimenting with swapping out different files to see what happens. I used the fill color mod too because modern windows shows parts black.

I attached the update patch here, but my copy has been patched further. This can be extracted with WINRar or a compression utility. My main .exe file has had some further mods done, but maybe another file can be swapped out?

That might actually work, fingers crossed. The more I think about this the more confused I get. (lol)

I've been watching ColorfulArty playing through the lemmings revolution levels, interesting seeing all the different solutions to the levels.

Brilliant, thanks for this! Whereabouts in the Lemmings Revolution directory should this be placed? Does it replace the main Lemmings Revolution.exe?

This will replace my edited exe file and the patch file. I'd backup both first. Then maybe begin by only replacing the patch file. If no luck, then maybe try replacing the exe too and see if that helps.

I'm not sure what you mean, maybe I've missed something. Your post includes an .exe file, but not a patch file...

Here's a screenshot of the contents of the portable version of Lemmings Revolution:

Which of these files needs to be replaced with lempatch.exe? Or, should lempatch.exe simply be placed into this folder without anything else being removed?

My post contains only an EXE file, yes.

But... you can open this exe file with WinRAR or some equivalent compression utility and see the game exe and patch file inside.

Or, backup your .patch file and game .exe and let the update replace them.

Sorry for the lack of explanation, I've been on the run.

@jkapp76 - Thanks! I've tried the lempatch update. I get a "Not a valid CD-Rom drive" error when replacing the main game exe, so I tried just updating the patch and this works, the game runs fine.

@grams88 - please can you check whether the patch fixes the two broken levels?

This post is kind of off topic, but my family made Christmas decorations today...

That looks very nice Jeremy, your family must really like the lemmings as well.

I've got some good news and have done what yourself and WillLem were mentioning and it works, no lemmings were splatting on the (Tanks A lot) level. I'll try to complete those two levels, thanks

I have updated my Lemmings Revolution Download. Anyone who downloads it from the original link will now get the newly updated patch pre-installed.

Thanks for catching this!
