Hey @92Dexter11 and @∫tan x dx

Completed the new Steady and Turbulent ranks I've actually been playing the pack since before I joined the forum, so I'm including my replays for the entire pack. Should all be talisman solutions, let me know if that's not the case.

I gotta say, I've really enjoyed every rank of this pack - it's great to look at, with beautiful tilesets, and nice having a bunch of open-ended levels to play around with where the real challenge comes in the form of the talismans. Some were relatively quick - a few minutes - some took way longer; multiple attempts over several days in some cases. For my money, these were the hardest talismans:

Steady 2 - Hardest of the entire pack imo, very hard to see a way of doing it without running out of laserers!
Steady 3 - Just tough to spot what needs to be done here!
Steady 10 - Used more than 15 skills on many attempts! As a horror fan, I love the gruesomeness of the death fx!
Tricky 3 - Another very hard talisman, not too far behind Steady 2 for me. My brain doesn't cope well with splitters at the best of times and this was actual ragebait!
Treacherous 6 - Coming up with a workable strategy to get those buttons pressed was hard and then the timing and precision required is kinda nuts.
Treacherous 9 - Really hard to find a route without blockers and walkers.
Turbulent 7 - As with Tricky 3 and its splitters, I find it hard to wrap my head around teleporters as well, especially how each exit interacts with the various skills. My solution ultimately wasn't as chaotic as I feared though, it's just not particularly quick (around 10 minutes I think!)
Turbulent 10 - This was daunting on the face of it since my original solution clocked in at over 10 minutes, but once I knuckled down to it, I pretty much solved it on the first attempt (albeit with a lot of rewinding, frame-stepping and tweaking!) - it's just massively multi-tasking and I'd struggle to get the time down much more I reckon, as it was only just inside the 2.30 limit.

Thanks again for the pack - very well-designed and a lot of fun to play!

Is it working for you now?

Anybody else seeing this?

You don't have to stick to one layout or the other; you can choose one as a basis and then define whatever hotkeys you like.

Jes I got it with locked RR.   Used 85 all time. But only seems work out traditional layout.

I´ll Always play functional layout myself and then there is no hotkey to use that. So im not got that trick done functional layout. Have to use traditional layout got it done. Yes this CTRL select lemming key is must here. Somereason there is no hotkey with this when used functional layout.

Here is my Tuesdays progress. Warm up is over and real levels begins       Though i got some serious bloodlettings yesterday Step 2 Also Fun mode. 

My brain is still overdrived when i yesterdays play neolemmings 14 hours row.   So much less work a today and might need few days to recovery. And at this point i´ll play levels just random order. Here is  6 Step 3 Hard but Fun replays.


Level 1

Lemmings BBQ

Okay that was simple and fun level, always liked levels like this one per each skill and some nice puzzles

Level 2

Master Exploder

Another fun level to play. Also extra saved

Level 4 No completions with this (attempt 2 sessions and total 3 hours)

Rock A Bye Lemmy

Only level i´ll put some serious efforts a today, but still cannot completed. Its weird how cunning this type level could be, there is only few skills and those two builders need use to exit, somereason this level give me some serious headache rightnow, though it keep me interesting. I´ll look later again. I´ll might overlook some simple things. Though this board are quite vicious and its little bit remding me Crystal Cave level yesterday

Level 6

Recession Proof

Easy figured out, but this trick was difficult perform, let me test some releaserates and got it correct

Level 8 No Completions (best 40 saved) 47 needed

My first Crush

Okay no my favorite level, its remind me little bit level I am AT and also my own custom level I am MT, those level are just digger festfals like this. Find those setup those type levels are extremely tedious, though replays usually look cool. Im not are fan this level, but might put it some better attempts in future, will skip it rightknow. Saved 40, but those 47 seems really hard.

Level 9

Pillar of Community

Antoher level which was easy figured out, but this completion solution setup and releaserate manipulations was bit tedious and take some attempts

Level 12

Spiral Staircase

This level was surprisely easy. Though its take me while how to use this basher correct

Level 14

Bridge is Out

Quickly figured out one my favorite trick

Depends on the keyboard layout you picked for NL. If you're using Traditional for example, then the walker select key is ctrl (both left ctrl and right ctrl work). By holding down the ctrl key, you'll be able to bypass the selection priority and be able to select only Lemmings that are walking.

To see what the hotkeys are, press F3/click on Settings/Options on the NL main menu, go to the General tab, and click on Configure Hotkeys. The one you're looking for is "Select Walking Lemming." There it will tell you the hotkey to its left. Note that you can customize the hotkey to any other one you like, so if you don't like the default ctrl key for the Traditional layout, you can set it to something else.

There are also two other layouts you can pick from, Functional or Minimal, so this means the layout you initially picked isn't permanent.

For this trick you can't get to work, a good level to practice this on is Saving Two Lems With One Bomb from the Advanced Training rank of the NeoLemmix Introduction Pack. The pre-text even explains how to do the trick

As for tricks I don't like, agree with the basher/blocker one, and I'll also add the stacker/basher one to make a step in it as another one I dislike. It's far easier to use a miner for this purpose!

This goes little bit off topic rightknow. But this stuff is just very news to me.

QuoteThe easiest way to pull off this trick is to use the select walking lemming hotkey. This allows you to pinpoint the walking lemming you want to assign the bomber skill to.


Whether the release rate is locked or not isn't really an issue here. lemmings spawned at any release rate will bunch up perfectly as long as their respective release rates have the same parity(both odd or both even)

That explain a lot why i cannot perform it. 

Where i can find this walking lemming hotkey? which help me perform this style tricks in future? I´ll need some picture or video tutorials with this. Rightnow my neolemmings knowledge is not enough perfectly understand how i can make this in practice.

If you or someonelse neolemmings expert have video or picture stuff to help i´ll appreciate it. You can also send those PM with me.

Until then i´ll just hope im not got against such type custom levels which requires perform this trick with locked releaserate and without extra tools to help me.

@MASTER-88

When multiple lemmings are crammed into a small area, NL prioritize lemmings with permanent skills and blockers over normal lemmings. If multiple lemmings belong to the same category the one that spawned last gets priority. This explains why you managed to pull off the trick by assigning a floater to one of the walking lemmings.

Whether the release rate is locked or not isn't really an issue here. lemmings spawned at any release rate will bunch up perfectly as long as their respective release rates have the same parity(both odd or both even)

So if you take full advantage of this behavior, you can switch the release rate between odd and even numbers to micromanage exactly how many lemmings(and which ones, in terms of their spawn number) go to the left with the rest going to the right. (However as you pointed out in the main post, constantly increasing and decreasing the release rate gets annoying very quickly. That's why I only made the level for experimental purposes and never released it.)




Anyway back to the main topic...

I generally prefer levels that don't rely on tricks at all and instead focus on sequence and logic. My favorite type of level is one that revolves around skill placement and creative combinations of basic skills. That said I agree that levels with cool tricks can sometimes be a nice way to spice things up   and they're always satisfying to watch when pulled off successfully.

Here are a few tricks I particularly like (thanks to IchoTolot for the YouTube links! ):

I'm also excited to share some new tricks once my upcoming pack is ready! Most of them involve NeoLemmix exclucive skills but some are done entirely with the original skills.(Stay tuned! xD)
