NeoLemmix Community Pack

[Wafflem]

This one seems to be another backroute.

[namida]

Hmm... not entirely sure how I could block that one without affecting the intended solution. I'll have to think about it. You are getting even closer, though.

[Wafflem]

I did some brief skimming through all the levels submitted so far, and I have to say - a lot of them are super-hard and I'd say over even Mayhem difficulty.

I might need to contribute some Tricky-difficulty levels to balance this out.

A very small number of levels use gimmicks (in fact, only about two Frenzies and one Zombie). Because of this, I'm not sure if the Community pack should use gimmick/frenzies at all.

Also, I cannot open Nepster's Fourtissimo, because of the vgagr5.dat error and that NeoLemmix no longer supports old formats.

Just a thought: we have some styles that are based on games such as Supaplex, Super Mario, Sonic the Hedgehog (Green Hill), and Nicky Boum (Pieuw's Castle tileset). What do people think of creating a special level for each rank, much like A Beast of a Level etc. in Orig Lemmings?

[Nepster]

Here is Fourtissimo again. I can open it with V1.37; please tell if you still have problems.

[Wafflem]

It works now, thanks!

In general, for older levels like that that won't load directly in the player, they should still load correctly in the editor (and if re-saved from there, will be upgraded to the latest format). Although I did put code into the player that should detect the correct graphic set to use, so I'll have to look into why that's not working...

EDIT: Now that I think about it, this code wasn't in V1.37n itself. It is in the latest experimental version, but hasn't been tested (at all) yet.
EDIT: Tested the feature in the experimental version. It appears to work for traditional Lemmix / DOS levels, but not with older NeoLemmix levels. So I guess I need to fix that up.
EDIT: Fixed. Haven't uploaded a new experimental version yet; want to get in more than one fix before I do.

I moved this topic to the Other Projects board; I feel that's a more appropriate place for it.

Anyway, I still haven't come up with a way to fix that level (without breaking the intended solution) yet. But I did make this quick, easy level earlier to test rotation of pieces out; it could maybe be included as an easy level, or alternatively, someone might want to use it as a base to build a harder level from.

This level requires NeoLemmix V1.38n, it will not work on V1.37n or earlier due to using terrain rotation!

Finally fixed up "Blessed By A Curse". I was hoping to avoid pickup skills for this one, but it doesn't seem there's any other way to enforce the intended route.

[mobius]

Blessed by a curse is a very interesting level. I haven't solved it yet but it's one of those where part of the solution seems obvious but there's many possibilities and working out the details is really tough.

I know I said many times I haven't been in level making mood lately; but it's up and down. If anyone wants me to make levels for this pack I can try. DynaLem said we need easy levels so I can try to make some of those.

[namida]

Here's a hint:

Spoiler

The solution involves three workers. Two of them die; the third death is one of the crowd lemmings.

[Nepster]

Nice level! This should be the intended solution.

[namida]

That is indeed the intended solution.

[Nepster]

Here is tseug's level NULL with a slightly changed save requirement of 77 lemmings, no time limit and a totally new solution.

[IchoTolot]

I noticed that "Apocalypse Maintenant" will/is broken, but it was a simple fix (adding 1 steel block and my old replay still works ).
Attached is the new version.

^ Added/updated both these levels in the Dropbox folder. I put NULL under the "Multiple Authors" folder.
