Note: This topic is ONLY for posting updates to your levels, or making late submissions. All other posts will be deleted. If you want to discuss the levels, post replays, etc, please do so in the Discussion Topic.

Please follow these rules for updates:
1. When posting a new updated version of a level, remove any old updated versions of that level --> Have all your recent updates stored in 1 post! I will delete such old posts eventually if the author doesn't; so don't store any important information in them.
2. Make a new post for a new update; do not edit your most recent post. You may, however, post updates to multiple entries (if you have more than one) in the same post.
3. Use the same filename as found in the ZIP of the entered levels, with "V2" "V3" etc added at the end. No matter how minor an update is, give it a new number.
4. Do not post in this topic, unless it's to post an update to your levels. Use the discussion topic instead for anything else.

Please use the same naming format as in the zip file:  User1_Levelname_R3V5.lvl ---> Level "Levelname" by User1   for Rule 3   Version 5 of the level 

For late submissions also, please use the same kind of filename as is used in the main levels download - ie: your username, and "R1" "R2" or "R3" to mark which rule the level is for. Please be sure to check the original contest announcement topic for the rules; as the notes in the discussion topic are simply meant as reminders, not full explanations of the rules.

Please use the right naming format when posting updates! That would lead to less confusions and less work for everyone.

version 2 of my rule 1 level

*corrected pick up skill counts

NieSch

V3 for "Welcome to the Twilight Zone" (rule 2)

- V3: in V2 the exit limit counter disappeared. Now it's back again.
- V2: backroute fix after Armani's replay (I moved a piece of steel near the exits)


V2 for "Step Up Your Game" (rule 1)

- No changes that affect the solution
- Only small esthetical changes: I removed the small gaps between objects in the ceiling that became visible in the high resolution modus ;)

My NeoLemmix packs: All You Need Is Lemmings - Long Live Lemmings! - Yippee! More Lemmings
SuperLemmix: Tomb Rodents featuring Lemmina Croft

Shmoley

Watched your Youtube video of the contest levels Icho and I changed where the updraft was a little bit and you jumped onto that pillar without needing the floater even though it was intended to use the floater there so I changed it to ensure it was splat height.

ok, I fixed my level so now it has a swimmer hatch, reduced the lemming count, and since I now have an empty slot I replaced the swimmers skill slot with a disarmer slot. Also must get the disarmer pickup skill. And made the spot where the transporters are have no gap instead I added a trap. (so now a lot fewer repetetive shimmier actions.)
Also fixed the block that holds the lava near top better(no holes now)

Also made the time Unlimited. I do think by adding the disarmer pickup skill makes the level easier. but also by reducing lemming count, adding the swimmer hatch and replacing gap where transporters are with just a
trap also makes the level less frustrating.


Here is my updated Rule 1 level This room is boiling.

Armani

My newest NeoLemmix level pack : Lemmings Halloween 2023 8-)

My NeoLemmix level packs(in chronological order):
  Lemmings Uncharted [Medium~Extreme]
  Xmas Lemmings 2021 [Easy~Very Hard]
  Lemmings Halloween 2023 [Easy-Very Hard]

Crane

V3 of Steeplechase - the first gap is now slightly wider - this is mostly to enforce a slightly less complicated solution!

V5 of Hell's Challenger - the trapdoor is now further to the left and the silver "Fire Drill" talisman now has an extra 5 seconds on the clock - the time is a little arbitrary because I needed to find a balance between having time to spare in finding a unique solution that completes it that quickly, but not having so much leeway (i.e. 4:00 exactly) that it's barely impossible to complete the level the intended way if done super-efficiently (and possibly leading players to attempt to optimise their solution to no avail).

Dullstar

Alice v7

Minor polish update to the skillset to remove some skills I carelessly left behind in the v6 update. This might break kaywhyn's most recent solution, or it might not - if it still works it will be an acceptable variant and won't warrant further patching.

- Blockers reduced from 1 to 0
- Walkers reduced from 3 to 2

Old Version Changelogs
v2

3 people had the same backroute (2 posted publicly, 1 by PM). Fortunately, this means all three backroute replays are fixed by one patch.

If you don't like where the lemmings are going, apply undesirable trigger areas to the affected area.

Changes:
- Added the orig_pillar spike traps to the right side of the platform.
- Level now uses L2 classic exit and hatch (for now)

I'll probably revert the second change when this level is used in a pack, as while I like the terrain in L2 classic better than orig_pillar due to the sizing differences that make it more convenient to build with, but I can't say the same about the objects, so generally I prefer grabbing terrain from L2 classic and objects from orig_pillar), but since the style is new, may as well show off that it's fully functional. The spikes had to come from orig_pillar, though, as those ones do not exist in L2 (there ARE some unused traps in L2, though, and those are included in L2 classic).
v3
Patches another backroute. The intended solution had to be altered a little to compensate for the necessary changes, but the components are mostly all still there, just in a different order.

Changes:
- Starting climbers reduced from 2 to 0
- Climber pickup skill added
- Cloners increased from 2 to 3
- Total lemmings increased from 39 to 40
- Save requirement increased from 40 to 42
- Added a spike trap to the left side of the main obstacle because I actually found a backroute myself this time

Note that with these changes, the total number of climbers available has decreased.
v4

Yet another backroute fix.

Changes:
- Removed pillar under hatch
- Lowered hatch
- Added some new decorative terrain to compensate for the empty space created by above changes

This prevents it from being possible to build over the left spike trap while still having enough builders left over to complete the level.
v5
Alice v5

Redesigning the intended solution to remove some backroutes. Also, some more pickup skill shenanigans to stop more backroutes.

Changes:
- Reduced starting stoners from 1 to 0
- Added stoner pickup skill (1x)
- Reduced cloners from 3 to 0
- Increased climber pickup skill from 1x to 3x
- Increased jumpers from 3 to 9
- Decreased save requirement from 42 to 39

I think that's all of them.
v6
This level had several backroutes, and the only possible solution anyone seemed to come up with for fixing those backroutes would have been to essentially gate off all the skills until the last moment using the pickups. This, however, has a disadvantage of kind of leading you into the correct solution which isn't really what I wanted to do, and maybe it wouldn't have even fixed it anyway. That said, one of the backroutes submitted was actually decent - so screw it, that's the intended solution now!

Changes:
- Removed all previous pickup skills
- Increased save requirement from 39 to 42
- Starting skill set is now 3 walkers, 3 jumpers, 1 climber, 1 blocker, 3 builders, 1 basher, 2 miners, and 2 cloners
- Added 1 builder pickup skill
- Added steel and a bit of decoration to bottom of central obstacle

Also, fun fact: The story of the name of this level is as follows: I made a level, then commented on Discord that I couldn't think of a name for it. namida suggested "Charles" and I went with it. Then I made another level and named it "Alice". Because sure, why not. Charles was originally supposed to be the contest level, but I liked the intended solution for this level a bit better.

Here's V3 of HoPPiNg mAd, I've tidied up the layout a bit and fixed a backroute spotten by ericderkovits. Enjoy! :lemcat:
