Uploading a Level Pack
For information on creating a level pack, see this thread on the Lemmings Forums.
Files
When uploading a level pack, you may choose to upload either a level pack data file or a zip file containing data files.
If you choose to upload a level pack data file (ex. LEVELPAK.DAT) then the audio and graphics data files of the selected game variant will be used.
If you choose to upload a zip file then any audio and graphics data files included in the zip file will be used in addition to or instead of the data files of the selected game variant. The zip file can contain multiple level pack data files, though it might be preferable to upload them separately.
The following list specifies the file names that are allowed in the zip file and how the files will be used:
- ADLIB.DAT
- AdLib audio data file
- GROUND?O.DAT
- Level graphics data file
- VGAGR?.DAT
- Level graphics data file
- VGASPEC?.DAT
- Level graphics data file
- MAIN.DAT
- Game graphics data file ("Lemmings", "Oh No! More Lemmings", and "Xmas/Holiday Lemmings" game variants)
- CSTM.DAT
- Game graphics data file ("Customized Lemmings" game variant)
- GOLEMS.DAT
- Game graphics data file ("Golems" game variant)
- *.DAT
- Level data file
- *.TXT
- Text file (ex. a README)
