You will be able to create up to 8 world files for all 12 tribes (+ Practice levels), each one containing 10 Levels (that's up to 960 normal and 32 Practice levels in total). Summary of features: - Selectable Screenmode (runs on ECS or AGA chipset or even on graphic boards). - Font sensitive menu and gadget layout. - Efficient built-in file caching system. - NewLook Menus on Kick 3.0 or higher. - Tries to keep new look with different palettes. - Tries to keep everything readable on Kick 2.0, which doesn't support full DrawInfo. - Online Help in menus. - Window positions are saved along with the preferences. - Iconify. - Plot, line and bar drawing modes. - 64 KB Undo/Redo buffer with unlimited steps. - 100% assembly language code. - No hardware hacking! - Has been tested with Mungwall and Enforcer (+ Memory Protection option) However, it is not possible to create a new tribe with new graphics etc. @{b}--------------------------------------------------------------------------- General Information on Levels ---------------------------------------------------------------------------@{ub} Lemmings Levels can be seperated into three main parts: 1. The Level Map, which is build up using 16*8 pixel sized predefined block graphics, both transparent and solid for the Lemmings. The Levels can be of varying sizes, and can be visibly reduced by a limiting border. Lemmings going past this border will vanish. Manipulating the map can be either done using Raw Blocks, these are single blocks, selectable from about 600 different blocks, or Block Elements. The Block Elements are predefined chunks of blocks and are displayed shrinked to 1/4 of their actual size, because the layout is taken directly from the graphics file and the graphics would be to wide (320 pixels). There are three drawing modes to be applied to both Raw Blocks and Block Elements: Plot, Line and Bar. All drawing operations can be undone and redone multiple times. The Raw Block and Block Elements windows can be sized, and normally don't display all the available blocks at a time. Pressing Space or the right mouse button will flip to the next page of blocks. 2. Objects, placed over the map, like starts, exits, traps, water etc. There can be up to 64 objects on each levels. Objects normally should not overlap, but this is not tested for. Objects are drawn in the order they have been created. All Objects can be dragged, some of them can even be sized. The Objects on the map are displayed together with Object Indicators. More information on Objects see @{" here " link objectinformation} 3. @{" Level preferences " link m01011f}, e.g which Lemmings are available to the player. You first should have a look at the @{" Keyboard Layout " link keyboard}, then see what the @{" Windows " link windows} do and how they are controled. After that, you might want to see the rest of the @{" Menus " link m1f3f1f}. @{b}--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Background story ---------------------------------------------------------------------------@{ub} Having enjoyed Lemmings 1 and it's Data Disk, I immediately bought Lemmings 2 - The Tribes on release in 1993. Sadly enough, I made it through in a short time. I also bought All new World of Lemmings (Lemmings 3), but was quite disappointed by it. So in the beginning of 1996 I had the idea of making a Level Editor for the great game Lemmings 2. I had a first look at the files on the disks: I found the graphic files of each style, but not the actual level files. So I examined the main executable and finally found them there, RNC packed (which was no problem to decrunch because I had used a RNC decrunching routine long ago in my AMOS AMCAF-Extension (have a look at this one, if you're an AMOS programmer!)). Then I started to write a Level viewing program in AMOS, which was quite easy, except of finding out images of the level objects. I just couldn't find out, which information the chunks contained. So I gave up. One night, I had an idea to get this data, and after two days of trial and error, the level viewer was finally finished. But then there was the next problem: The level files were in the main program. How could I get Lemmings2 to load the levels instead of unpacking them from inside? There was only one solution: Using a disassembler to find out, where the level decrunching routine was. After one week of mindboggling decoding, I finally found it. I wrote a quick patch to load the levels. But that was not enough: I had to create some kind of selection screen. So I went into more resourcing and another week passed before I got a nice screen with fading and using the built-in text routines of Lemmings. Now I had to write a small program that installs this patch. That was hardly any work and was finished soon. Now I could start coding on the main editor. Taking routines from other projects I'm working on, it gave me some quick start off. But it took me one whole month to finish it to it's first usable version V0.7, which I gave my younger sister to create some levels with. After one week, I was nearly finished with the general stuff. So I started writing this manual (15-Aug-96). To do list: Object optimizer, Keyfile/Registering code, Menu and Button Online Help, Trace Mouse, general beta-testing. Well, it's now the 26-Aug-96, and I'm nearly finished (V0.99). Still, the manual is pretty incomplete... @endnode @node keyboard "Keyboard controls" @{" Main " link main}@{" Legal " link legalstuff}@{" Intro " link introduction}@{" Menu " link m1f3f1f}@{" Keys " link keyboard}@{" Windows " link windows}@{" FAQ " link faq}@{" History " link history}@{" Register " link register} @{b}--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Keyboard controls ---------------------------------------------------------------------------@{ub} There are a lot of keyboard functions which cannot be seen directly from the menu.

If you don't want use autopoint, don't forget you can only activate the level window by either clicking into (can be very annoying), or pressing the Return key. @{b}@{u}Level Map Window:@{ub}@{uu} This is the backdrop window, which is used to display the level map. Normally, this window is as big as the screen (exception see @{" here " link m030001}). What you actually can see on the map is controlled with the @{" Show " link m03041f}-Prefs. @{b}@{u}Raw Blocks Window:@{ub}@{uu} Holds all the Raw Blocks available. Clicking on a block will make it the active one, and the mode will change to 'Raw Blocks' (see Screen Title). If you click on the same block a second time, all blocks will be ghosted, indicating the block now being transparent. Drawing with a transparent block 0 (the empty one) will not erase the graphics underneath but make keep them as they are, but making them transparent. Depending on the size of the window, it might not show all the blocks available. Switching to the next page is either done by pressing the Space-key or clicking with the right mouse button. Using Raw Blocks you can create a lot of never seen level layouts, for example fake objects (blocks, that look like solid blocks, but aren't!). Note that clicking on a object or drag nob will switch to no-op mode after the operation, so you need to reselect the block before you can draw on the map again. If you have selected the @{" Picks up " link m030301} mode for the @{" Right Mouse Button " link m03031f}, you can also select the block you want to draw with using the right mouse button on the level map. @{b}@{u}Block Elements Window:@{ub}@{uu} Block Elements are predefined images which are often needed during level design. I took them directly from the graphics file. It seems as if the original Psygnosis level editor used a 320 pixel wide Lowres screen, where you could select these Block Elements. However, 320 pixels is too wide for my Editor (or do you prefer to have a 320 pixels wide window on your screen all the time?), so I had to shrink them down to 1/4 of their original size (half width, half height). Don't forget this fact. The graphics can be @{" interpolated " link m03071f} to get better results. Block Elements are shown on the map while you move your mouse around, making it easier to figure out where it would be best to place them. Selecting Block Elements is pretty similar to the procedure with Raw Blocks: One click selects the Element, another one toggles transparency. Page flipping works exactly the same like above. Note that clicking on a object or dragging/sizing nob will switch to no-op mode after the operation, so you need to reselect the block before you can draw on the map again. @{" Picks up " link m030301} doesn't work for Block Elements. @{b}@{u}Objects Window:@{ub}@{uu} This window contains a listview gadget with all the objects available. Selecting one will take you to the Place Object mode, so you can paste the object to the map. You can have up to 64 Objects on the map. If you run out of Objects, the @{" Object Optimizer " link m02001f} might help. Unlike the blocks on the map, objects can be dragged by clicking on the dragging nob in the top left corner of each object. Some objects can be sized: They have a second nob in the bottom right corner. If you want to delete an Object, you can do this by selecting it (and then pressing the Del key), or alternatively, if you've set the @{" Right Mouse Button " link m03031f} mode to @{" Deletes " link m030300}, just click on an Object with the right mouse button. More information about Objects can be found @{" here " link objectinformation}. @{b}@{u}Level Preferences Window:@{ub}@{uu} See @{" here " link m01011f}. @endnode @node patchinfo "Information on the Patch itself" @{" Main " link main}@{" Legal " link legalstuff}@{" Intro " link introduction}@{" Menu " link m1f3f1f}@{" Keys " link keyboard}@{" Windows " link windows}@{" FAQ " link faq}@{" History " link history}@{" Register " link register} @{b}--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Information on the Patch itself ---------------------------------------------------------------------------@{ub} The installation script installs a patch into Lemmings which makes it possible to load up the custom levels. Everytime the main code tries to load a level, the L2 Editor Patch Screen comes up, giving you the possibility to select your world file you want to play. Then you've got three choices: @{b}@{u}1. Accept and sleep:@{ub}@{uu} The patch will take your setting for all futher loading activities and will never show up again. If you want to change it again, press and hold the right mouse button when you expect the program to show up. @{b}@{u}2. Accept:@{ub}@{uu} Just accept this setting, but show up everytime Lemmings is going to load a level. @{b}@{u}3. Cancel:@{ub}@{uu} Ignore your setting and load up the original levels. If your @{b}world@{ub} file is not in the list of selectable files, try to update the catalogs from within the Editor. @endnode @node objectinformation "More Information on Objects" @{" Main " link main}@{" Legal " link legalstuff}@{" Intro " link introduction}@{" Menu " link m1f3f1f}@{" Keys " link keyboard}@{" Windows " link windows}@{" FAQ " link faq}@{" History " link history}@{" Register " link register} @{b}--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Object Information ---------------------------------------------------------------------------@{ub} All Objects can be dragged to any position on the map, as long as they stay completely in the map. Dragging is done by pressing the left mouse button when the pointer is above a small nob in the top left corner of the object. Keep the button pressed and move your mousepointer, the object will follow into it's new position until you release the button again. Some Objects have a second nob in the lower right corner, which is used to change the Objects size. Sizing is done in a similar way to dragging. There's a maximum of 64 Objects on the each level. The amount may be reduced using the @{" Object Optimizer " link m02001f}. Try to keep Objects off overlapping. Objects are drawn in the order they have been created. Deleting an Object will create a gap in the Object list, which will be filled when you create a new Object.

There always must be at least one Start Object, although you can place a lot of them around the level. Keep these objects within the level boundary!

If you're not creating a @{" Practice " link m00000d} level, there should be at least one, although there can be as many as you like. You have to be a little bit more careful when it comes to exits. The exit will not work if you do it wrong. There are two types of exits: Normal ones and solid ones. The first type just contains of the exit, the latter have one or two solid blocks underneath. Normal exits can placed anywhere as long there is NO solid block underneath them. If you need a solid block below the exit, use a solid exit instead. Solid exits can be placed anywhere on the map. Be sure you don't overlap the solid block with other solid blocks or the exit won't work. @endnode @node objwater "Object: Water" @{" Main " link main}@{" Legal " link legalstuff}@{" Intro " link introduction}@{" Menu " link m1f3f1f}@{" Keys " link keyboard}@{" Windows " link windows}@{" FAQ " link faq}@{" History " link history}@{" Register " link register} @{b}--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Object: Water ---------------------------------------------------------------------------@{ub} Water always consists of two parts: The top part and the bottom part. The top part is not harmful for the lemmings in any way. The bottom part really is water with all it's dangers. Note that both parts can be sized, so please don't place single water pieces all over the place.

If you select a Sand Toggle or Container, the corresponding Object will be marked with a box in green colour (if available). @{b}@{u}Warning: Bug!@{ub}@{uu} The Sand Container needs some special care: There's a bug in Lemmings that will cause the game to crash under right conditions: If the sand reaches the opening hole of the Sand Container, the game freezes.

What am I doing wrong?@{ub} A: First check your level name for illegal characters (>127), then look if you use too many roundabouts or too many catapults/cannons. Also try to reduce the chain lengths of cannons and catapults or temporarily remove them. If this isn't going to solve the problem, send me the level and I'll try to find out what's wrong. @{b}Q: I'm using Exits in my level, but somehow, the Lemmings just walk past them. What the hell is happening? @{ub} A: You probably have made a little mistake with solid blocks underneath the exit. Refer to the @{" Object Information " link objectinformation} on @{" Exits " link objexit}. @{b}Q: The Blocker (or Attractor) Lemming doesn't work!@{ub} A: The Blocker only works with the Classic Tribe. The Attractor doesn't work in the Classic Tribe (there had been no Attractor in Lemmings 1) @{b}Q: I'm running out of objects all the time. I've used a lot of solid blocks and water.@{ub} A: You're probably not using the sizing feature for solid blocks and water. Try to replace single objects with one long object stripe. Or if you're registered, just run the @{" Object Optimizer " link m02001f}. If this doesn't solve the problem, try to replace solid blocks with fake ones (using Raw Blocks), where the player won't notice the difference. @{b} Q: I've tried hard but I can't get past the first level(s). How can I play the other ones without having made the predecessors?@{ub} A: There's a cheat to play all the levels. On the Lemmings 2 Title screen click in all four corners until you hear a "Let's go" sound (not the one from the music). @{b}Q: Why do I lose 48 bytes each time I start and quit the program?@{ub} A: This seems to be a bug in the amigaguide.library or the datatypes and is not a problem of the Editor itself. @{b}Q: Then I play Lemmings on my Computer, the sound effects disappear after a short while. What's wrong?@{ub} A: Dunno, but on my 68060 it disappears if I don't turn off the music. Might be a bug in the med replaying routine. @endnode @node register "How To Register" @{" Main " link main}@{" Legal " link legalstuff}@{" Intro " link introduction}@{" Menu " link m1f3f1f}@{" Keys " link keyboard}@{" Windows " link windows}@{" FAQ " link faq}@{" History " link history}@{" Register " link register} @{b}--------------------------------------------------------------------------- How To Register ---------------------------------------------------------------------------@{ub} I spent a lot of work and time in the Lemmings 2 Level Editor, so I think it's only fair to demand a little reward, if you want to use my program on a regular basis.

Otherwise it's best to go for the screenmode you're using for your workbench to avoid monitor switching during the closing of the Editor's screen. 3) Graphic boards The Editor needs lots of different screen sizes from 1280 width to about 650 pixels height. Choose a suitable screen mode to support all those resolutions. I emerged some problems with Cybergraphics Software V40.65 in conjunction with Autoscrolling and horizontal screen dragging.

Normally, this will only have effect on level sizes of 1280x160 and 1024x192. This option has a slight drawback: Due to the bigger size of the screen it consumes more chip memory. If you disable this feature, the screen will be opened at the height of the level plus the screen bar, so there no gap to the end of the screen. @endnode @node m03011f "Menu Item: Windows" @{" Main " link main}@{" Legal " link legalstuff}@{" Intro " link introduction}@{" Menu " link m1f3f1f}@{" Keys " link keyboard}@{" Windows " link windows}@{" FAQ " link faq}@{" History " link history}@{" Register " link register} @{b}--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Menu Item: Windows ---------------------------------------------------------------------------@{ub} This menu controls the appearance of the drawing windows and their behavior. ___________________________________________________________________________ Project Edit Special |@{fg background}@{bg text} Prefs @{fg text}@{bg background}| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~T~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~T~~~~~~ | Screen______________|______ |@{fg background}@{bg text} Window@{fg text}@{bg background}|@{" Objects " link m030100}| | ------|@{" Raw Blocks " link m030101}| | Right |@{" Block Elements " link m030102}| | Show |@{" ---------------- " link barlabel}| | ------|@{" Trace Mouse " link m030104}| | Flus~~~~~~~~~~~~~~T~~~~~~ | Interpolate Gfx | | ------------------- | | Load Preferences | | Save Preferences | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ @endnode @node m030100 "Menu Sub-Item: Objects" @{" Main " link main}@{" Legal " link legalstuff}@{" Intro " link introduction}@{" Menu " link m1f3f1f}@{" Keys " link keyboard}@{" Windows " link windows}@{" FAQ " link faq}@{" History " link history}@{" Register " link register} @{b}--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Menu Sub-Item: Objects ---------------------------------------------------------------------------@{ub} Opens the @{" Objects-Window " link windows} if checked.
