From Proxima, on Discord:
Quote from: ProximaThe "Clear Records" button in the level select menu doesn't remove completion ticks, at least in 12.12. Is this fixed in 12.14 or in CE?
I agree that the "Clear Records" button (in the Level Select menu) should also clear completion data (green ticks, orange ticks, attempted asterisk). Unless anyone objects, we can try this in CE 1.1.
I've hit a roadblock with this.
Resetting level completion status (necessary for updating the ticks) also resets talisman completion status (it's practically impossible to separate the two) - do we want this?
Essentially, "Clear Records" would become a complete global reset of all user data for the selected level/group/pack. We need to be clear that's what we want before we go ahead.

I would never use this function tbh. I like to keep my marks indefinitely.
The real completion status is the reply folder + replay checker :lem_winktounge:

The main two reasons I can see for wanting it are the randomiser, and wanting to do a Let's Play from a fresh start. In either case, you would definitely want talismans reset as well. I can't imagine any possible use case for resetting level progress but not talismans.

If you want it back you can simply do a replay check again with your replay folder anyway.

My completion data seems to clear whenever I updated NeoLemmix

i'm the same. completist through and through here and i too love seeing all the pack completed green check marks on my laptop screen :lem_tongue:

Yeah, having all green marks is a good sign that you got everything and yellow ones are especially helpful when a pack got an update. I don't wanna clear them though.
I wonder whether the best best would be to have another button for "Reset Progress"
So, we would then have:
Reset Progress (resets level completion, talismans, and records)
Reset Talismans (resets talismans only - keeps level completion and records)*
Reset Records (resets records only - keeps level completion and talismans)*
*We already have these.
Meanwhile, there is probably never a situation where you'd want to reset level completion but not talismans and/or records, and it's not practical code-side anyway, so we don't need a button for that.
Thoughts?
If this post gets no replies within 2 weeks, I'll assume we want the proposed additional "Reset Progress" button and go ahead with it. This will be considered a resolution to the OP.
