The VanClan Lemmings Pack - Top 10 Discussion

[Shvegait]

I cannot find anything wrong with the Tame 3. What is the matter here?

I don't know! It doesn't look like there would be any issues, but every time I try to play it (or its repeat), it freezes before the trapdoor opens.

I agree that there is too much excessive building and general worker lemming-ness for this pack to be any fun to play, sorry to have to say it. However, at the same time, I must also say that you have some VERY nice-looking level designs, and if there was a competition for best-looking level with no regards to how it actually plays, I would not at all be surprised if you won.

As you would all know, I created my pack of lemming levels over a year ago. Since then my interested in lemmings level creating has dropped dramatically, primarily because of my interest in World Of Warcraft.

For a few months, this will pretty much remain the same, however I am now wanting to get the support of other lemmings fans in this forum to improve my set of levels in any way possible, and I will dedicate a little bit of time to work on the changes. What I would like to see are suggestions of:

(1) Which levels are considered boring and should be removed
(2) Levels that need a change of skills
(3) Levels that need scenery modified to allow variety of each level
(4) Order of Levels: Do any levels need to change position in the pack?

Hopefully my pack of levels can be improved. We'll see.

If i could figure out how to run your levels under lemix i would try your levels. Everytime i open a level it either is missing some file or comes out looking like it has changed styles.

Add something like this to your LemmixStyles.ini:

Hope that works...

I remember that many people have had problems editing my levels in Lemmix. Eric Lang (Lemmix author) has already listed some information on how to fix this, however I have now got the Lemmix folder (edited to suit Van Clan Lemmings) into a Zip file on my personal website so everyone can edit my levels without any problems.

Lemmings page with the file:

Good luck, and I hope your problem is fixed!

I am amazed that this topic has been inactive for 10 months and now I am posting something new on this, lol. As for people in the past that attempted to play my levels, many were not able to play them for various reasons.

My experience with level creating has increased greatly and just recently, I was able to change the format of my two confusing level packs (thats right there is a second one, but that one is actually partially filled) to be compatible with standard graphics sets PLUS Lemmini.

I used CamStudio to record one of these levels from Lemmini, and here it is! Its called "The Graveyard" from the Dirt graphics set. The videos has included separate music for entertainment, so enjoy!

I plan to fix up many of my other levels in the near future, and get rid of the ones I dont think are very good anymore...even though they may have a good layout, the gameplay is not too good on them. I will even get rid of most of the Tame levels in my first pack, no more super easy levels! lol
