Lemmings Plus VI - Release Topic

[namida]

The level images / stats are now live.

Do note that due to the use of a seperate tool (rather than NL itself) to render the images, the transparency on some objects is not quite rendered the same way as NL does. This is most noticable on the glowing effect on the flames in the Basement set.

Just uploaded the V12.01 update, which has backroute fixes for Manic 4 and Delirious 19. No other changes.

For those who have completed (or at least played) LPVI, I'd love to hear opinions on which levels should be added to Lemmings Plus Compressed. (For now, don't worry about quantity - I'll decide on that later.)

Back during pre-release testing, both variants of Dareful Drop were suggested as candidates - I don't know if I want to include both of them, though. A Lemming Is Born is another one that, on my opinion alone, is almost certianly going in (unless there's really strong opinion against it, maybe).

Ooh, this is another collection pack?

My favourites from LPVI:

Sane 17: Hold It!
Loopy 8: Call In The Specialist
Loopy 13: Let A Lemming In
Loopy 20: Espionage
Manic 2: Walking On Air
Manic 3: Dareful Drop
Manic 8: Let's Go On An Adventure
Manic 11: Tight Schedule
Manic 13: Worthy Edge
Manic 17: The Shed
Delirious 3: Not A Lemming Went By...
Delirious 4: Backwards Dance
Delirious 10: A Lemming Shall Come Forth
Delirious 12: Dareful Drop (Part II)

[Nessy]

I agree with Akseli's list and I would like to add my personal suggestions as well. Here are the ones that come to mind right away:

Sane 19: Don't Overthink It...
Loopy 14: High Stakes
Loopy 18: A Lemming Is Born
Manic 1: BridgedirB (and maybe the talisman solution if a harder level is needed)
Manic 19: A Lost Tale
Delirious 6: Lemmings For All!
Delirious 16: Wacky Way
Both Highbridge levels

Manic 1: BridgedirB (and maybe the talisman solution if a harder level is needed)

Since new-formats ties the talismans to the level, rather than to the pack, Lemmings Plus Compressed can easily keep the talismans from the source versions of the levels. (I didn't bother with this with the older Flashbacks packs, precisely because I'd have to manually port each talisman over one-by-one, and ensure they're kept consistent if anything changes. With new-formats, I can simply copy the level file, and the talisman comes along with it.)

Ooh, this is another collection pack?

Lemmings Plus Compressed replaced the two Lemmings Plus Flashbacks packs when I updated the packs to new-formats, rather than being a third collection pack.

Rather than release additional compilation packs as new packs come out, my intention is that as new packs come out, I'll eventually (not immediately upon release) add levels from them to LPC, perhaps removing a few of the ones from older packs to avoid LPC becoming too large. It currently stands at 80 levels, and contains levels from all Lemmings Plus packs except LPVI. The levels it has from the packs that were covered by the Flashbacks packs, are almost exactly the same ones the Flashbacks packs themself contained, though there are a few changes - in particular, a couple of levels were added because they were new additions or significantly improved in the new-formats conversion (the first example to come to mind being that LPIII's "I'm Going To Try Science!" is now in there - it was already a pretty decent level, but due to the culling of radiation, the new-formats version has an entirely new solution which IMO is much better).
