A reminder of what's new in SuperLemmix 3.0

Version 3.1 Update

Identical to 3.0 but cleansed in the 3.0.1 Editor to remove the unnecessary terrain piece indents in the level files. This reduces the size of the pack by about 1MB.

The full 3.1 pack can be found here.

Thanks kaywhyn, much appreciated

Quote from: Guigui on February 07, 2026, 02:21:17 PMAs a third alternative to show the number of lemmings already saved compared to the required number, why not use a "saved/required" syntax in the skill panel ?

Simply: space is at a premium on the skill panel.

It has been suggested before, and I've explored the possibilities significantly.

Levels can have hundreds of lemmings, and even in levels with 99 or fewer lemmings, "nn/nn" takes up 5 characters on the panel. At present, the skill panel allows a total of 38 characters, and they are currently assigned as follows:

Chars 01 - 12: Lemming action. We need to be able to fit (at least) "PLATFORMER n" here, which is all 12 characters.
Chars 13 - 14: Replay icon, space.
Chars 15 - 20: Hatch icon, space, 3 chars for number of lems in hatch, space.
Chars 21 - 26: LemsOut icon, space, 3 chars for number of lemmings active in the level, space.
Chars 27 - 32: Exit icon, space, 3 chars for number of lemmings saved, space.
Chars 33 - 38: Time icon, space, 4 chars for time limit (n-nn).

Our options are these:

1) Truncate the skill actions to some amount of characters, and take what we need from the 'Lemming action' area. The athlete info only needs 7 characters, and it could be acceptable to display "PLATF n" instead of "PLATFORMER n", for instance. That would buy us 5 characters.

2) Remove the space between each icon and its corresponding values. That buys us 4 characters, and just about covers the cost of "nnn/nnn" (which would need to be supported even if we set the position of the digits dynamically).

3) Don't display 'lemmings active', or incorporate 'lemmings active' into 'lemmings in hatch', displaying "iii/nnn" where i is the number of lems in the hatch, and n is the number of lems active in the level. This could work, but there is also potential for confusion, especially since n can update without i updating (for example, if the RR is slow and a lem is lost). Nonetheless, removal of 'lemmings active' as a separate display buys us an extra 6 characters, which is significant.

4) Extend the width of the skill panel. This was done in SuperLemmix, bringing the total available skills up to 14 and adding a Rewind button (whilst also removing the half-buttons for framestepping, direction select, etc). It could buy us a significant number of characters, and we could add some more buttons (or increase the number of available skills). This would increase the minimum window width for NeoLemmix CE though, and would require a decent amount of community support to go ahead.

5) Make the skill panel hi-res only. This effectively doubles the number of available characters to a whopping 76, albeit in smaller font (see the display in RetroLemmini for how this might look). Plenty to display whatever we wish, but very difficult to get people to agree to.

I'm not totally against any of the above options, but nor do I think any of them are better than what we have now (i.e. a well-spaced panel that makes the best of what's available and does ultimately display all the most significant information).

If someone can come up with a better suggestion, or voice support for any the ideas presented here, displaying "saved/needed" is by no means off the table.

Thanks for reporting @Flopsy.

I'll close this topic as resolved, since the .zip has now been fixed and we have correctly identified the cause of the issue and the way to fix it.

The folder structure for the GSTQ .zip needed significantly re-arranging as it contained 2 "levels.nxmi" files (one for the pack itself and one for the actual levels), and all the custom .pngs were also placed in the "levels" folder rather than the pack's subfolder.

This has now been fixed in the GSTQ topic, so the easiest way to fix the issue is to download the .zip and re-install it, then delete anything in the "levels" folder that shouldn't be there (.nxmi files and custom .pngs)

Or, follow these steps:

1) First, go to the "God Save The Queen" folder containing the levels and levels.nxmi. Make a new folder called "God Save The Queen within this folder and then move the levels and levels.nxmi into that folder.

2) Head back up to the "levels" directory and move music.nxmi, info.nxmi, levels.nxmi, postview.nxmi and title.nxmi into the original "God Save The Queen" folder.

3) Move all custom .png files into the original "God Save The Queen" folder, except "rank_graphic.png" which should be moved into "God Save The Queen\God Save The Queen\" (the new folder from step 1).

That should do it. Many apologies for the inconvenience, but tbh I blame the somewhat convoluted nature of the NeoLemmix directory structure, even though I do understand why it is the way it is, it's still problematic now and again.

Quote from: Proxima on February 07, 2026, 06:02:17 AMPlease fix the zip.

Fixed, thanks for helping to diagnose the issue. As it turns out, the entire folder structure needed rearranging This has now been done.

Added a 'Random' button to the piece browser (commit d9a7e67), next to the styles dropdown (with an option to hide it if preferred) which randomizes the piece style when clicked. Also added the option to add certain styles to the randomizer in the Style Manager, so that it will only cycle through certain chosen styles. If none are chosen, it will cycle through all styles.

The button is hidden by default, but maybe it shouldn't be. We can decide this later.

---

EDIT: Also refactored the settings that were being saved internally (rather than to the .ini) - all settings are now external, so get saved to the settings file rather than wherever Windows likes to put stuff. This should help with migration between versions. Commit 99949ed

That just leaves level templates. This is something I've considered previously and could certainly be done, but I wonder what the best UI for it would be. A button on the Globals tab that opens a template picker? A dropdown with all the available templates listed (selecting one applies it)? Load default template at startup is a given.

Added a setting for "default author name" (commit 5cad941) and another for "default player" (commit e250951).

Quote from: Simon on February 04, 2026, 05:49:12 AMRe: Giga's "choose player" idea

I guess: When there is more than one game executable, the editor should give you a choice between them for playtesting ... Multiple game executables can happen at minimum when you exctract CE into namida's tree.

Ah, I see.

Yes, we can add this for sure.

Quote from: GigaLem on February 03, 2026, 06:00:30 AMits basically not having to set up the editor again every update

You should never need to do this. The Editor saves its settings files in the "settings" directory:



Just copy the NLEditor ones over to your new directory (or drop the new Editor into the old directory). No need to set everything up again every time.

Quote from: GigaLem on February 03, 2026, 06:00:30 AMDefault Set:This is to say what set is chosen at start up

Use the Style Manager (Tools > Style Manager or Ctrl+Alt+F8) to pin whichever style you want as your default to the top of the list.

Quote from: GigaLem on February 03, 2026, 06:00:30 AMDefault Random ... only selecting one of the Original or Oh No sets

Not a bad idea. A better one might be just have a "Random Style" button which selects a style at random. We could add a "Add To Random Styles" check in the Style Manager which can mark individual styles as part of the Random sorter. You would then only mark the default styles, if that's what you wanted. If no styles are marked, they're all fair game.

Quote from: GigaLem on February 03, 2026, 06:00:30 AMDefault Level Dimensions: Simple as Picking the Height and Width that the editor loads and saving so when the editor is opened that is size it loads

Yes, we can add this. A 'Templates' feature could work for this as well, where the user can make a bunch of templates and then choose one on loading. We're already part way there with Custom Skillsets, might as well extend this to other level properties as well.

Quote from: GigaLem on February 03, 2026, 06:00:30 AMEditor's Name:Left Blank on the Preferences Menu by default but can be made to have what name you write in there because set for the blank level on start up

Pretty sure you mean the Author's name here (as opposed to the name of the Editor?). If so, then yes this should definitely be added. Author Name can be added in Settings, and it always pre-loads this upon opening the Editor or creating a new level. Such a simple but great idea, should have been done ages ago.

Quote from: GigaLem on February 03, 2026, 06:00:30 AMPlayer:if more than one player is in the NeoLemmix folder (however it'll only detect Legacy and Community NL for this editor) you can choose between which is played, this will be greyed out if only one compatible player is in the folder

I can't quite decipher what you mean here. Please explain it as fully as you can.

As for the other stuff, I'll put it on the to-do list. Some good ideas here.
