I'd like for there to be a board specifically for CustLemm/Lemmix/Golems.  Currently these go into the "Other projects" or "Levels for other engines" boards, which I find kinda sad given that these represent the genesis of fan-created levels on these forums.

I realize as much as anyone that there is not a lot of activity in this space, but it's not nothing, and there would be more activity than some of the existing boards.

I'd be happy to help populate the board with relevant threads from the "other" boards.

Quote from: The Lemmings Encyclopedia on January 12, 2026, 07:09:25 PMHi all. I'll try and contact that person once more to see what's happening. If it's nothing, I can offer up the codebase to Lemmings Forums.

I should be clear - I am offering to provide hosting for it. I am not offering to take over updating of the site.

If you ask me to host it, one of two things will happen - either I will set it up so you (or another person of your choice, with their agreement) has access to update and modify the site, hosted on my server; or I will host the site in its current state as an "archive", never to be modified again (unless or until you or someone else decides to take over it again).

Firstly - chill the hell out, dude. That's a ridiculous degree of overreaction to a post coming up slightly awkward when quoted.

Secondly - to explain why that happens, it's because that was a post originally made on the previous incarnation of the site. We had to resort to some very unconventional tricks to migrate posts from that iteration to this one, on account of having no access to the database and the admin being nowhere to be found. One of the side effects of this is that it semi-broke formatting in posts - the formatting remains mostly fine when viewed in a browser (although it does appear the SMF2.1 update somewhat broke things), but all goes to hell when you try to quote or edit the affected posts. So it's not in any way the fault of the original author. If you really need someone to blame, the closest you're going to get to that is blaming the owner of the old Lemmings Forums (who is no longer present on this site) for abandoning the site and not providing us any way to access a proper backup. But really - this shouldn't be a matter where you need "someone to blame" in the first place. It's the kind of matter where you say to yourself "oh, that sucks" and move on, because it isn't remotely a big deal.

I've spent a lot of time reverse-engineering various Lemmings games lately. While collecting distributions of the various Amiga games and demos, I saw all those not-public-domain tracks and got super curious about it.

In the usual Psygnosis demo with the dirt-and-grass "LEMMINGS" splash screen, all of the instrument sample and song files are on the disk, but only four tunes are actually featured in-game: cancan, doggie, tenlemmings and mountain. Regrettably, the data that associates instrument samples with tunes only contains the mappings for those four songs, so the original "copyrighted" soundtrack can't be restored this way.

There was an earlier demo from December 1990 that was distributed via Amiga Format (#18) and CU Amiga Magazine (#8). This is old enough that the game's mechanics haven't been finalized: Builders don't shrug, Bombers have a question mark over their heads instead of the head-shaking animation. In this demo, only the files for three tunes are present: cancan, doggie and tenlemmings. This is presumably because the demo had to share space on the coverdisk with other demos.

But here's the kicker: the track listing data in this older (oldest?) demo contains instrument mappings for all 20 pre-release tunes (the four in the Psygnosis demo plus the 16 copyrighted songs). The data from both demos can be used in conjunction, and by their powers combined, the forbidden publisher-unfriendly version of the soundtrack can be fully restored. As far as I've been able to determine, this is what Wanted Team must have done, because their SoundPlayer files (and subsequently Mindless's MOD files) all use the correct instruments.

The order that the songs would have played in-game is as follows:
01. cancan
02. doggie
03. tenlemmings
04. batman
05. missionimpos
06. daysnight
07. addamsfamily
08. birdie
09. entertainer
10. hogan
11. matchespana
12. mountain
13. ateam
14. oblasuper
15. panther
16. petergunn
17. raindrops
18. richman
19. scoobydoo
20. twist

I'm at my therapy school, so I will provide the images later.

Recent changes:

• Level previews are now animated.
• Solutions are now visible to everyone (but you have to sign in to access the solution lists).

So... It's been a while, hasn't it?

As some may have already seen on Discord, I've been starting to work on a pack, and so I'm here to introduce:


_{*Logo not final}

Have you ever looked at Lemmings and thought: 'Yeah, ambient music would be incredible for a game like this!' No? Well I did, and that will be one of the key components of this pack's identity; chill, ambient vibes that feel like a strange dream.

But what about the levels themselves?

This pack will be categorized into 4 ranks, each containing 20 levels, with the list below keeping track of my progress:

Euphoric 20/20 Complete!
Relaxed 1/20
Ambient 0/20
Melancholic 0/20
_{*Rank names not final.}

I aim for this pack to be easy-medium in difficulty. It would be a little contradictory to break your brain with a pack like this, now wouldn't it? It's meant to be chill after all!

Tracklist Preview:

Here are a few tracks that will be used in the pack!

I hope you enjoy the three tracks above, and with that I'll be off to work! 

Quote from: IchoTolot on January 12, 2026, 07:48:57 PMOh, I just saw this is Lemmini and not NeoLemmix. 

I do not remember if the up arrow walker select works in Lemmini - it's been a long time since I played on that engine. 

Not sure if it will work on Lemmini but I'll give it a try. Thanks for the tip - I have neolemmix but didn't get on with it the first time I tried. I will give it another go though.
