Quote from: WillLem on October 12, 2026, 03:33:40 AMPerhaps Ultimate Lemmings should have its own board?

Any update on this? I am about to release 2.0 which is a HUGE update! Mac, iPhone, iPhone Duo, iPad, Apple TV (!)

Right, the level filename decompression.txt, but the replays start with decompressionmeth1- and should instead start with decompression-. It has 8 replays, many are practically identical. I'll toss all but 1 or 2 and rename the surviving ones to start with decompression-.

Pointing from within the replay is fine, they all point to decompression.txt. The mass replay verifier ignores the replay filename and looks only at the pointing. The replay file name is relevant for Rep4Lev, i.e., for the Load Replay button from the singleplayer browser.

Yesterday, I wrote a D script matches-pointer.d to find these misnamed replays in the collection. Only the 8 replays for Decompression Method had this issue. All other replays in the collection are fine.

More to reply these days.

well to be honest it would be fun too add it, just that don't make it a level skipper, instead when someone beats a level in rasputin mode it doesnt counts as a beaten level

maybe that can help (maybe but just be joe cool )

Loap isn't really being actively developed anymore. I thought about adding this, but I didn't see the point - in the original game it serves as a gimmicky variant of a level-skip cheat, but Loap already lets you play levels in any order you want.

i re-downloaded loap to check if there was the rasputin code easter egg

context

if you dont know what is rasputin mode it is an easter egg in the home computer versions
of 3d lemmings, when you type it while the game is paused, after you un-pause the game,
it becomes a shooter (beacuse you shoot the lemmings instead) and at the results screen
instead of saying "you saved" it says "you slaughtered"

however when i typed the code, it didn't worked

it would be nice if the rasputin mode easter egg was added

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!)
