What should Colorful Arty play?

Check if the file in question is set to Read-Only, and if so, change it to not read-only. Even though (Super)Lemmini doesn't modify the files, this can sometimes cause problems.

This is the exact error message I get when trying to run SuperLemini

*Red Cross*
"Resource extraction failed

Unable to copy C:\Users\.....\WINLEMM\SOUND\BANG.WAV to C:\Users\......\SuperLemini\sound\bang.wav"

I don't make it past the extraction screen, the program just shuts down with that error message. I remember this is what stopped me before so I gave up in the end.

Yep, that's the file that it fails on for most people.

Copy your WINLEMM folder to the root of your C: drive and try extracting from that. Does that help?

I want to do another Lemmings Let's Play soon and I can't decide between Lemmings Plus I and Revenge of the Lemmings. I made a poll to see which people would rather see me play. I look forward to seeing the results!

Lemmings Plus I; a big update for Revenge of the Lemmings is currently in discussion.

namida · August 18, 2016, 03:14:32 AM

Even though LPI is my pack, I really couldn't decide as ROTL really is a great pack with a large variety of challenges (and since I've played it myself, it's still one that I could watch). But Wafflem raises a good point - ROTL is getting an update in the near future; while Lemmings Plus I is long-since-finalized and these days is generally only updated if it's needed for compatibility with newer NeoLemmix versions (this is actually true for all Lemmings Plus games, with the obvious exception of Lemmings Plus V).

I also think you should wait until the update is finished before you do ROTL

Revenge of the Lems will be complete in at least 1-2 weeks [maybe longer but should not be too much longer] The hardest part to do really is re-create one level and fix the backrouted levels.

So I guess it depends on how soon you want to begin you next LP.

Both packs are great and I'd suggest both.

I'd guess ROTL would take longer because of more levels, not sure how different they are in difficulty.

LPI is probably a fair bit easier.

Of course, it isn't a total walk in the park, especially once you get to Psycho.

Just a note by the way - I tend to at least sometimes pay attention to "does the music fit the level", and Lemmings Plus I was designed with the Master System version soundtrack in mind. For best results, grab the Master System music pack.

(To use it, put it in the "music" subfolder of wherever your NeoLemmix.exe is. If the "music" folder doesn't exist, create it.)

I think I've called dibs on Revenge of the Lemmings anyway, it's definitely on my next batch of projects after I finish some of my current ones: Sublems, Deceit, LP Omega and Lix Community Pack (which will all be recommencing from August 29th week commencing

, sorry for being away for so long).
Again even I myself would consider waiting for the ROTL update to be completed.

Lemmings Plus I is a long pack, it has an easy first 2 ranks but the last 3 are tricky to borderline insane! You'll enjoy it, I know I did when I played it. It was my first pack after the Introduction pack and it was a real challenge near the end.

QuoteLemmings Plus I is a long pack, it has an easy first 2 ranks but the last 3 are tricky to borderline insane!

I think that's a bit of an exaggeration. Lemmings Plus III is insane; Lemmings Plus I (and even II) are just crazy.

I've seen rtw play the first 2.4 ranks of LPI, and from what I've seen and can remember, none of the levels I saw looked that hard. I appreciate that, since I like levels I can solve.

I plan to start the Let's Play sometime in September after I finish the projects I'm working on now (except Pikmin 3; that will take a while).

As far as LPI music goes while I do like the Master System music, I am planning on using either the DOS music as that is my personal favorite version or using the custom loop I have made. Or, I might shake the music up like I did in my Lemmings Let's Play. Thanks for all of the input!

to anyone reading: I shouldn't have put this deadline up. I don't really have a deadline I'm just working on it and I can say that there's not a ton of work to do anymore, but I have no idea when it will be done.
I'm very bad at giving myself or others a deadline.

It looks like I'll be playing Lemmings Plus I by popular demand! I'll be starting after I finish my contest videos.
