Thanks for the help!
Quote from: NepsterCurrently we are in the middle of a huge move from binary blobs to text-based files, which will (among other benefits) speed up the level loading procedure. That's why there are these tons of files in the styles download.
I see, but does the plan include a way to store them in a package file? Most games do it like that, because tons of tiny, uncompressed files waste a lot of space.
QuoteThis doesn't require any additional files. Just replace your NeoLemmix.exe from version 1.47 with the NeoLemmix.exe from the download file.
Just what I was looking for! It still required new level packs though, but now it works. Thanks again! :)

After a long absence, I came back to update my old NeoLemmix version (1.47n-C2) to the latest release, just to play the old games with a better UI. But as my experience has been terrible, and I know how easy it is for frequent users and programmers to lose sight of how different their experience can be, I thought I'd record it quickly:

- found shiny new website - exciting!
- downloaded new player + new level pack + styles.zip, copied to new folder
- extracting styles.zip took too long and spammed my HD with tons of custom files I don't want or need - annoying!
- and now NeoLemmix doesn't start - BASS.DLL not found, menu font and a dozen other files not found

My point is not to fix these errors; I'm sure I could figure it out somehow. But I don't even want to. The old version simply worked out of the box and didn't annoy me, so I'm keeping it. That might be a problem in the long run.
