Harvey,
I'm sorry, but it's too late for the old Beginner.lvl
& Special lvl. (They are deleted)
Why using a difficult procedure like that
?
Here's a simpler procedure :
- Put your old
Beginner.lpb files in a directory (Ex: C:\Temp-LPB)
- Put LT-40_Import.exe
in another directory (Ex: C:\Result)
- Put the Beginner.lvl
file in the same directory (C:\Result)
- Run the
LT-40_Import.exe program.
- Select Beginner when
askingWhen the program ask for a name, select
Beginner
- Then in
Menu/Options, Select "Copy Playback Files" (leave the name as it is =
Beginner_0000)
- Then in Menu/Game,
Click on "Import Playbacks". Browse for C:\Temp-LPB then
OK
- In the C:\Result
directory, you will end up with the new Beginner_xxxx.LPB files and the new
Beginner.hs file.
- It is possible that
some LPB won't be exported, this is due to a kind of a bug in
LT-40_Import.exe.
- You can export manually these LPB with the F8 function (Resume Recording) in the LaserTank game.
Those who do not want to do it by themselves, just send
me your Beginner.lpb files and your Special.lpb files and i will do it for you.
It's easily doable within 5 minutes.
Bye

Not only did you screw up the .LPB's, but not filling the holes
left by deleted levels also screwed up the High Scores (.hs) files
for Beginner.lvl and Special.lvl. I.e., above the first deleted
level, the High Scores don't correspond to the Levels. I fixed up my
Special.hs file, but since I deleted/lost my pre-7/18/02 Beginner.lvl
file, I couldn't fix my Beginner.hs file. If you still have the
pre-7/18/02 Beginner.lvl file, would you please email it to me. (I
will outline the 'fix up' proceedure in a separate message.)
Why do you think "it's too much work" to preserve the original
positions of the levels? Just use the LTUS LTCopyLv.exe program to
'overwrite selected levels with selected levels'.
PLEASE: Either, don't "fill in the holes" again. Or, at least,
include a warning if you do.
Regards,
Harvey
