the real problem are the animations... which are not sided...

for example:

the walkers are separated and not in the same image

where'as the high-r ones are in the same image

this happens with moremoremoremore examples...

another examples are the traps or non-trap animations

for example
(left is macintosh and right is amiga)

the size isn't consistant and really accurate
the macintosh one is bigger while the amiga one is in the right size

(sorry if the images dont show up, can anyone tell me how to put a image link to show, beacuse mines dont show )

Will this vod be available on Youtube at somepoint?

Oh no. I just discovered that the macintosh graphics also contains 1-bit graphics for the 9" Macintoshes. So guess what I naturally did...?

Ultimate Lemmings 1.9.6 is out!

This update focuses on audio, pixel effects, performance and saved sessions. Here is what has changed since 1.9.4.

Audio and effects

• Smoother music playback. Recorded music now decodes in bounded queues, short loops blend their seams, and peak protection accounts for the effects mix. These changes address playback crackling and rough loop transitions.
  
• Rewind sounds like rewind. Music and sound effects scratch backwards through recent audio. Repeated rewinds reuse bounded buffers.
  
• Sharper explosions and clearer selection. Bombs scatter pixel debris and use bitmap countdown digits. Selection has a steady white outline and green halo. Dying, exiting and exploding lemmings no longer keep selection or rescue outlines.
  
• A short countdown before play. Fresh starts and retries use a 3–2–1 countdown. Modern effects also add brief sprite echoes during rewind.
  

Performance, saves and journeys

• Less repeated rendering work. Shared rendering budgets limit added-effects work. Terrain and skill-panel caches avoid converting unchanged bitmaps. Simulation keeps its original tick rate.
  
• Shared save and profile code. Profiles, records, recovery, playlists and Hot Seat now use the same core modules across Mac and iOS. Saved runs and handovers wait for the player to be ready.
  
• More consistent navigation. Profiles and result pages keep the primary action last in navigation order. Golden Path moves "Let's be careful out there" later in the journey while preserving saved visits and player ownership.
  

iPhone, iPad and profile sync — work in progress

The next private iOS 2.0 beta build is prepared, with clearer Hot Seat player identity, a more useful pause screen, shared stone controls and the full soundtrack collection. Build 13 has not yet been uploaded to TestFlight. It covers the Classic family and fan packs; Lemmings 2, Lemmings 3 and NeoLemmix are not playable in that build.

Further fixes let matching saved profiles recover their latest progress in testing builds, including Hot Seat progress. Those changes are not in the published 1.9.6 app. Live cross-device sync still needs device verification.

Download and update

Universal Mac app for Apple silicon and Intel, macOS 12.3 or later. Downloads are signed and notarised. The slim download includes essential music, with optional soundtrack libraries available separately. Automatic updates retain the full soundtrack.

The Tribes is Complete. Chronicles and NeoLemmix remain Beta (L3 now has 100% verified routes however!)

Existing users can use Check for Updates. I would welcome feedback on music loops, repeated rewind and saved Hot Seat sessions.

This seems to be what [Lemming Curd Porto Caval Shunt]'s a reference to.

And in finding this and sharing it here, I've probably instantly moved it one or two tiers up the iceberg.

That's the Paradox of something being at the bottom of a list.

For example, someone might list 'Most -> Least Interesting Songs'. The song at the bottom of the list suddenly becomes more interesting than those above it, because it automatically begs the question of why it's the least interesting, which is a point of interest!

The same thing applies to 'Most -> Least Known Facts'. Whatever is at the bottom will become more known simply by its position in the list.

Yes, this could be an acceptable solution.

Quote from: namida on October 13, 2026, 08:38:37 PMI don't think we need yet another version of the official styles just to achieve that, rather than making these the HR versions of the existing ones.

It's not as simple as that.

At the very least: not all of the Mac gfx are the same shape as their low-res counterparts. This is something we'd need to tackle if we were going to make these images the basis of a hi-res set.

Then, there are some pieces that just... don't look as good (IMO). An example being this one, in Pillar (which is also a different shape):

      
L->R: Mac version, Windows 95 version, Amiga version (200% Nearest)

IMO, the best version from the above is probably the Amiga one, but - of course - it isn't actually a hi-res image.

If we wanted to make a proper project of this, take our time and get it right (we should!), we could do something like this, which solves the shape issue and (IMO) looks better:


Top of Amiga version composited with bottom of Mac version

Other pieces we could just use as-is from the Mac version, of course. There are likely to be only a small handful of pieces from each style that will need manual TLC - but they will need it.

Quote from: WillLem on October 13, 2026, 05:59:31 AMHow? Unless I'm mistaken, the compatibility direction is that all 12.14 content must be playable in CE, not the other way around.

It's that any content playable on one should be playable on the other with no physics differences, in both directions. Cosmetic / UI differences are acceptable.

That being said - if for whatever reason one did want to make an HR-focused style, I don't see any problem with creating HR graphics then downscaling them to create the LR versions. There could then be a "prefer HR" marker for CE's usage, together with a user option of "Use level preference if specified" rather than only the Low or High setting; 12.14 would ignore this marker, but as it is purely cosmetic in effect, that's not a problem. Though in this specific case I don't think we need yet another version of the official styles just to achieve that, rather than making these the HR versions of the existing ones.

something that i find really weird is the rebelsoft animation which is obscure, in fact! theres an animations thats way weirder, more obscure and that wasnt even in the iceberg

the anti-lemmin demo

it is a weird animation made for the amiga (which i know about it since it appeared randomly on my feed before i knew about the rebelsoft animation )

im not watching it again beacuse IM NOT EXPLAINING

from what i remember, the player was a human-like female lemming and a lemmings threw a bazooka at a random jet and the jet threw missiles at the lemming that used the bazooka

il explain more later

i already knew about the arcade version (which i played it and i gotta say, the controls kinda suck but the graphics are good )

and so i already knew the cdi version (also you forgot to mention on the iceberg some thing:

- the 3do port reused the music from the cdi version and the cover from the macintosh version
- the lemmings apppear as enemies in hired guns
- the master system & game gear cancelled ports of lemmings 2: the tribes
- macintosh different graphics
- jelly belly promotions in some versions/levels of 3d lemmings

these are some missing things)

hey its me creator of X-tralems

something that i want to know is if i can help adding some of my levels to this pack
i just wanna know

its been a long time since you made a pack or made a level! welcome back
to making levels buddy

anyways may i help adding sometimes some levels made by me
i just wanna know
