Blocker and stoner are definitely not the same skill. For instance in this particular level, the blocker needs to be walked on at some point. There are lots of other differences.

Thank you for the answer Icho.
I was quite surprised to see that this was possible, but coming to think you can assign a bomber to a blocker, so why not ?

turn a blocker into a stoner.

This is a nice trick and good level for sure, but I did not know this was possible. Did the NL Introduction Pack teach me this in one its level and I just forgot it ?

No, that one isn't featured in here.

It is rarely required as to fabricate a situation where this is 100% needed is quite hard - I experienced it myself when creating a level with that trick in mind.

As it's rare and I won't cover every niesch trick in the introduction pack, I've decided to skip it and focus on the more common ones.

How to update

Quick and dirty: Extract over your old installation. Level moves will then result in duplicate levels that remain in your level tree.

Clean method: Extract to new directory, then copy these directories from old Lix into new Lix:
user/
replays/
...and any levels that you've built yourself or added manually.

• New user option: When you rewind the previous assignment, to exactly which nearby tick should Lix rewind? Before, this was hardcoded as −1, i.e., you rewound to the tick before the assignment. Now, you can set it to, e.g., −2. When you rewind like that, then re-assign, you've tweaked the assignment to be 1 frame earlier.
  
  
  • The default is −1. This is the behavior from Lix 0.10.34 and earlier.
  • kaywhyn will want to set it to −2. This replicates NL's behavior.
  • To do that: Go to "Options" -> "Game Controls" -> "<< rewinds to nearby tick".
  
  
• Replace library SDLang-D with sdlite. These libraries parse and generate SDLang, the file format of the trophy file and the user option file. Reason: sdlite is faster and smaller. This removes two dependencies (sdlang-d and unit-threaded) and adds one dependency (sdlite).
  

This release is for kaywhyn's stream.

Cool, thanks!

Your end of the deal isn't urgent. As long as you'll come back to it, say, in October/November 2026, it'll be good feedback. Tonight, focus on your stream.

I'll look into releasing 0.10.35 with your feature now.

Edit: 0.10.35 is released.

@Simon

Sounds good to me! I can't guarantee that I'll get the approximately 30-minute video footage to you quickly afterwards, but I'll do what I can, whenever I can!

kaywhyn: Want to make a deal?

You'll get your feature (button rewinds to skill-minus-2) in time for the stream tonight (Friday, September 11th).

In exchange, in a few weeks, you'll record some footage of you trying the tweaker. Let's say 30 minutes of gameplay? It doesn't have to be in your regular streams. You can upload that footage as unlisted.

This looks awesome! Very nice work. I really like the various choices of Lemmings games and that's really a lot of great memorable levels! Keep up the amazing work on it.
