|
| Step 1 | Create some new windows levels (.lvl) You can do this by using LemEdit and choosing the 'save directly' option You can also do this by using 'Lemmings Mode' with the mapeditor in CLONES (this mode is not available in the Sept2003 demo but should be available in subsequent demos) |
| Step 2 | Copy your new windows lemmings levels to a subfolder underneath
the Lemmings \LEVEL folder, which is found wherever you installed
Lemmings. The \LEVEL folder should already have OHNO and ORIG
as subfolders, you must make a new one. eg: c:\winLemm\LEVEL\cust (use a 4 letter folder name) |
| Step 3 | Windows Lemmings supports player profiles, which means
that different players on the same computer can solve the levels at their
own pace. WinLemm stores the information about each player in a different
file. These files are named 'usrXXXXX.db', where XXXXX is a number
such as 00000, 00002, 00053... it depends on how many profiles you have
set up. The location of these files is most likely C:\Program Files\WinLemm,
but might not be... lvlAdder will modify these profiles. If something goes
wrong you can always delete the profile and create a new one in WinLemm. The profiles do not contain the names of the players, that information is stored in the Registry. The key is most likely HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Visual Sciences\Windows Lemmings\Users, but may not be. You can change the key that lvlAdded looks for under the Options menu. |
| Step 4 |
Start lvlAdder. Use the drop-down box to select which profile you want
to edit. Click 'load profile'. Now navigate the file listbox on
the left hand side to the folder that contains your levels (or any levels,
but it must be a subfolder of the winlemm 'levels' folder). The listbox
on the right should display the levels found. |
| Step 5 | If you click on a level in the tree view then the bottom right textbox will show you the filename for that level. You can edit it if you wish. In addition, the array of textboxes at the bottom will show you the number of lemmings for that level, and the number of actions for that level. You can alter them too :) Remember to click 'save level info' to update the level file. |
| Step 6 | You can rename any of the items in the treeview by single-clicking on it twice (just like in windows). |
| Step 7 | Once you have things the way you like them click 'save profile data'. Now start WinLemm and verify that it still works :) As long as you type in the correct subfolder name for each group and only add levels from that subfolder everything should be fine. notice that you can now play all levels too.. enjoy! |

requests please post them wherever you downloaded this from! Note: just about every control has 'tooltiptext' so if you are not sure about what a button or textbox does simply hover the mouse cursor above it. |
