The strongest likelihood is that those packs include a version of 'panel_font.png' which is missing the '+' symbol (which was recently added in CE).

If you go to the root folder of the pack in 'levels', check to see if there is a copy of 'panel_font.png' and, for now, either delete it or rename it to something else. That should fix the issue.

I can't think of a sensible way to deal with this engine-side tbh. CE could perhaps see if the target .png is the same width as the one it expects, and - if it isn't - load the default instead. There might be a better way.

I can not play the level right now and have not tried  the 100% on it.

First idea that comes to mind would be to flood the wall area, assign diggers fast enough so that one Lem gets through by stepping up a less than 6 pixels step, then have him dig cleanly at the end to allow climber.
Not sure how to stop the first diggers though, I may be totally wrong here 

NeoLemmix does not imitate the physics of DOS Lemmings exactly. Levels that are 100%able in DOS Lemmings might not be in NL. This is why we keep separate maximum saved records for NL; the ONML levels haven't been added to that yet, because no-one has yet gone through them to confirm what is possible.

Hi everyone,

I'm doing a playthrough of ONML and trying to 100% the levels. However I am getting stuck on some. I am playing with an older version of NeoLemmix that lets me play ONML as a single level pack.

According to this board Crazy 1 is 100%. In spoilers is what I have attempted so far:

Crazy 1 - Quote: That is a Good Level!

I immediately set release rate to 99 and then back to 1 to isolate 2 lemmings. When the first lemming is right up against the wall I pause and start frame stepping. He becomes a digger. I let the second lemming enter the blocker field and blocker the digger. The second lemming is now stuck in the wall. I can assign a digger to release the blocker and make a step. However the second digger is one pixel to the right, if he continues all the walkers will fall into the vanilla coke. I can repeat the blocker-digger release trick but this creates a 1 pixel overhang on the right so I cannot climber the last lemming out.

I cannot make a digger staircase with as the walkers are too slow and they will get trapped. One plan was to make a digger staircase and blocker cancel them. If there is no pixel overhang the final digger can be allowed to hit the metal and climber out.

Am I on the right path with this? Any hints (without giving it 100% away if possible)?

Skill names are displayed with characters shifted by +1

I'm using NeoLemmix Community Edition 1.1.2.

I've noticed a strange issue with the skill names displayed when hovering the mouse over skill pickups in some custom levels.

Instead of displaying the skill name correctly, the characters are shifted by +1. For example:

BUILDER → CVJMEFS
CLIMBER → DMJNCFS

So this doesn't appear to be a font/encoding issue where the text becomes random; every character is consistently shifted one position forward.

I've noticed this in some custom levels/packs downloaded from the forums, including Lemminas and FM24. I haven't determined yet whether the issue is related to something specific in those levels/packs, or whether it can occur in other custom content as well.


Version: NeoLemmix CE 1.1.2
Affected feature: Skill Count + Type / pickup mouseover
Examples: Lemminas, FM24
Expected: BUILDER
Actual: CVJMEFS

I haven't yet determined whether this is caused by something specific in the affected custom levels or is a CE bug affecting certain level data.

I worked on another classic puzzle game: Pushover

You can find a HTML port of the game engine at Github and it's playable on Github pages but you need to have the original game files. (I bought the game for less than 5 Euros on gog.com not sure if you can extract the original game files from a Steam copy.)

I was able to RE the whole thing and even found two previously undocumented secrets:

• there is an unused tile set called "cavern" with no levels
• there is a cheat/debug code nobody seems to have written/published anything about. In the main menu you can enter the level code + BOWIE and then OK and the level will automatically play through following a "solution tape" included in every level file. (there are, interestingly enough, a handful of tapes which don't resolve)

Thank you so much, really, now I can actually have these levels in NeoLemmix.

If you want to play the levels from the original games in NeoLemmix, this conversion is the most up-to-date and recommended.

Hi, it's been quite a while since I last visited this forum; I'm glad to see the Lemmings community is still creating fun content.

I have these levels for older versions of NeoLemmix, but I haven't been able to find versions compatible with the latest release; these are the official levels that used to be available for download from the NeoLemmix website.

I know Redux is highly recommended, but I also want to keep these levels because they are the ones I've played since I was a kid.

I tried converting them using NXPConvert, but I keep getting this error:

"Access violation at address 004FEAE7 in module 'NXPConvert.exe'. Read of address 0000000C"

I managed to convert the internal styles whenever possible (using nxpextract to extract all the .dat files), but in the "7 - Extra Levels.nxp" pack, for instance, there are some styles that GSConvert refuses to convert due to an "Unexpected end of file" error.

Anyway, I'm stuck now. I don't know if there are any other options left to try, so I'm asking for help—hoping someone can shed some light on this, or perhaps let me know if these packs have already been converted and I just haven't found them.

Old nxp levels.zip

Yeah, it looks right. And the format I remember is ".lev", not ".dat", so yeah - I'm probably thinking of the wrong engine here.

That being said - if WinLems offers any way to convert to the standard DOS format, you could go WinLems -> DOS -> NeoLemmix.
