SuperLemmix / level selection and other ideas
November 06, 2024, 10:37:15 PM
Hello, as mentioned in the other NeoLemmix topic today:

Thank you very much, I really enjoy playing your SuperLemmix!

If you will consider new ideas:
- add an option to disable the advanced options (at the right) of the level selection screen just like in NeoLemmix (or can I add a row in the settings file for that?)
- add font and symbol size option for the level selection (as discussed)
- allow different cursors in menu (I actually took the files from the normal playing cursor also for the menu...)
- perhaps: allow disabling the level countdown timer / counting up, but only an option, I like both ideas.

Some of the ideas are also because we play this in family with kids.

Hello WillLem again :)

I tried a bit but in the meantime I enjoy just playing the levels and do not care too much about the level seletion tree... of course it would be nice to have, that the font size and especially the symbols left of the tree would be a bit larger. I also had two times a system freeze in the tree of NeoLemmix, but this is perhaps because of the laptop I used that case, it has some freezes from time to time.

Not depending with the initial topic and the level selection tree, I actually played more with the SuperLemmix and really like it - thank you for the hint! I like the idea of playing the original levels and having also the look and feel.

(I just saw the SuperLemmix topic section, I will add a topic there...)

hello and thank you very much for your answer and the many ideas. Yes, I have already setup some things in the past in Windows concerning the font, did not think about it here indeed, so I tested. But it does not increase the size or change the behaviour of the level select tree.

About the reaction to clicks: the level selection tree is not always directly responsive, my guess was this is normal and known to other players, so when I click on a level area to open a tree then sometimes the click does not change anything, when I wait and click again then it works. In addition sometimes the tree opens but all tree rows are empty and filled later. Actually my system is quite fast :). And about screenshots, the behaviour is better explained by words actually than by an image (I know normally an image helps but not really in this case where I describe what does not happen so is not visible...).

I also tried already SuperLemmix and it's great too, thank you. For me I am open to both of the programs. And in both programs the level selection window is based on the same version.

After all as said, my hope was that this is known somehow and there is some hint to change it (font size, size of the symbols before the trees, perhaps click behaviour). When it is not the case, this is absolutely ok to me, just have to be more patient while clicking. Thank you again.

Hello everybody,

I played Lemmings as a kid in DOS and am discovering some old games in DosBOX-X these days. So I did for Lemmings and by hazard I just found out today that this great Neolemmix exists. So first of all I would like to thank namida and all the others here involved for this wonderful program.

Well this is my first topic and as it happens so often, the new user just has a question about what he wants to be better :). As we have some need for accessibility in our family (and we love playing Lemmings in our family also with the kids), I just wondered about the following questions. I have seen that probably bugs or new ideas won't be implemented so soon or at all in Neolemmix, but perhaps someone has a hint for the existing solution or an idea how to improve it.

My questions are only about the level selection screen (this Windows-style window with tree structure for the levels at the left):
- are there any (hidden?) settings so that we can change the font size in this list of the level selection?
- perhaps even change the appearance also of the little arrows for the trees?
- is there anything I can do that in my system (Windows 10 and 11) the tree (open/close arrows) does not react quite often and also sometimes the levels are not displayed for an open tree?

Thank you!
