Oh No! More Challenges!

[Fernito]

Cheapo is another Lemmings clone / level editor. I think there are details in the Level Designing board somewhere. And as I've said before, I don't have Lemmix so I can't post replays.

Oh, I see now.

I did complete the challenge, however.

How did you do? I mean, to see if your solution was the intended by me (maybe you backrouted my challenge haha http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/tongue.gif" alt=":P" title="Tongue" class="smiley" />).

I set the release rate to 99 right at the start, made the first 14 lemmings climbers and dug the entire block away.

Pretty much the same as I did http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink" class="smiley" />

I've (rather sadly) got a spreadsheet with all that sort of information in. Assuming no typos and that none of the records have improved since I last regularly visited the forums:

Lemmings: lose 60
(Oh No!): lose 84
Xmas: lose 54

TOTAL: lose 198 (out of 17189 - using DOS version with 80 lem limit)

I've spotted a mistake in the scores for ONML. This number was (presumably) obtained from the list at the start of http://henriwatson.com/lemmings/index.php?topic=36.0" class="bbc_link" target="_blank">this thread on the old forums, which wasn't correctly updated with the improvements to records that followed. Specifically, Wild 18 can be completed with only 2 lemmings lost - not 4, as this post suggests. Thus the total lost in ONML is 82.

Also (this was fixed in the post following the one I quoted) the total lost in Lemmings is 55, not 60. This means the total lost overall is 191.

Just to let you know that I found an alternate solution to ISteve's old Mayhem 22 challenge, using 7 fewer of each skill. I used all of them except for the climbers and floaters. Here's a lemmix replay (ISteve, if you don't know how to use replays go to the help section of the forums).

Thought of a new challenge, but probably it'll be no challenge for you guys http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/winktounge.gif" alt=";P" title="Wink-Tongue" class="smiley" />

Fun 11, 100% within 1 minute and 10 seconds - you can't use blockers nor builders.

How about we knock off those 10 seconds and leave it with a nice round figure - complete this in one minute. Now, technically I haven't completed this myself, but I got it to within the two second margin given by the pause trick (in fact I got even closer still - about half a second), and I know for sure that it's possible to shave off this last bit.

Since even I haven't definitively beaten it myself, you can be fairly sure this is a seriously difficult challenge. http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink" class="smiley" />

[Proxima]

On the Mac version, the same solution works. I'd actually forgotten about the extra ten seconds when I was playing the level.

[Minim]

Be warned with this next challenge: I haven't tried this one myself but since you all are very good at lemmings please prove to me how good you are at this game by completing this challenge.

Mayhem 29: 100% with 20 of each skill.

[namida]

No luck with 20, but with 25 of each (actually, only builders need to be 25, the others don't even come near 20 let alone 25), I managed 95%. The few lost were due to the time limit, and could've been easily saved by simply releasing the crowd earlier. Here's my replay.

Just so you know, this uses a LOT of steel glitches. However, it doesn't use the one that doesn't work in replays, so no need to worry about that, the replay works fine.

I have completed minimac94's challenge. Used every single builder.

I actually put the 1:10 time limit because I tried to death to do it within 1:00, with no positive results. Or maybe...? OK, let me try it again.

PS: How's that pause trick?

haha, nice!  http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/thumbsup.gif" alt=":thumbsup:" title="Thumbs Up" class="smiley" />

The pause trick?  You pause the game, wait for the trapdoor sounds to finish, then resume.

Oh, but that doesn't work on Lemmix, does it?

PS: Just tried it and doesn't seem to work.

[namida]

No, it doesn't. That glitch, and the nuke glitch, are not present in Lemmix. AFAIK all the others are.

Nice. I knew someone would be able to improve on my solution. http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/tongue.gif" alt=":P" title="Tongue" class="smiley" />



A new one: Beat Flow Control (Havoc 10) with 71% without changing the release rate.

Gotta watch a replay of that, because I'm totally clueless. Does it involve the use of a glitch?
