Lemmini / Re: [+][BUG] Basher/steel interaction in SuperLemmini

January 12, 2026, 07:42:06 AM

I've once again confirmed today that steel does not behave as intended in *Lemmini*.

Simple Autosteel = Steel is always steel, wherever it exists, even if behind terrain. This works fine
Autosteel = Steel is only steel where it's visible. This does NOT work; we get Simple Autosteel behaviour instead
Manual = Steel is only steel where a steel area has been manually added. This works fine

Meanwhile, Classic Steel works but is essentially just badly-behaved steel areas that don't align properly with pieces and which can sometimes be destroyed given the right setup. This will be removed from RetroLemmini at some point, although the currently-in-the-works Level Editor (yep, you heard that right!) will continue to support it behind the scenes for backwards compatibility.

NeoLemmix Levels / Re: [NeoLemmix] MiniLems (64 Levels) [Difficulty: Very Easy - Medium]

SuperLemmix / [SuperLemmix] About .sxlv level format

January 10, 2026, 10:09:03 PM

SuperLemmix now has its own dedicated level format (.sxlv) as of the next version (3.0).

This is internally identical to .nxlv, so levels can easily be converted between the two formats (in most cases by simply changing the file extension).

Meanwhile, .nxlv will continue to be supported by both SuperLemmix and the SuperLemmix Editor.

The reasons why I've decided to go ahead with this are these:

1) We can now much more easily determine what is a SuperLemmix level and what is a NeoLemmix level (with the latter always being compatible with both).

2) From now on, if a level made in the SuperLemmix Editor contains SuperLemmix-specific features (such as the Ballooner skill, Collectibles, Superlemming mode, etc), it cannot be saved to .nxlv. This is to help authors choose the correct format when saving a level (they may later decide to change the extension manually if they wish to do so for whatever reason).

3) For users with both SuperLemmix and NeoLemmix installed, it will now be possible to file-associate levels with either the SuperLemmix Editor or the NeoLemmix Editor (which will soon be released as its own update). This will be much more useful when editing levels for a specific engine.

Finally, the SuperLemmix Editor can cleanse a full pack of levels with either .sxlv, .nxlv, or the original extension as the output format, so authors of existing packs can quickly convert their levels in the event that they contain SuperLemmix-specific features. Note that levels containing SuperLemmix-specific features will always be saved to .sxlv during a cleanse.

I hope that explains everything. Any questions, please ask!

NeoLemmix Main / Re: [STYLES] Updates to secondary animations for OG styles

January 10, 2026, 02:15:22 AM

Made some revisions to the crystal and bubble traps following Icho and Proxima's comments:

ohno_bubble zapper trap now glows more slowly

orig_crystal trap has a more subtle shine effect, and the glow is combined with the previous electric "spray" effect

The ohno_rock vine trap still needs a revision, I'll see if I can come up with anything.

Game Bugs & Suggestions / Re: [?][SUG][PL] "Clear Records" should also clear completion (and talisman) data

January 04, 2026, 11:09:13 PM

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.

From Discord:

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:
Proxima — 4:51 PM
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.
IchoTolot — 4:53 PM
If you want it back you can simply do a replay check again with your replay folder anyway.
Flopsy — 6:07 PM
My completion data seems to clear whenever I updated NeoLemmix
kaywhyn — 7:17 PM
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:
IchoTolot — 8:42 PM
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.

Congratulations! Well done on finishing the Oh No! levels, it's a remarkable achievement and I'm happy that you were able to finish the pack in RetroLemmini

Lemmini / Re: [RELEASE][2.4 UPDATE] RetroLemmini

January 04, 2026, 10:43:39 PM

Version 2.5 hotfix update

A relatively small update, but an important one. This fixes a number of UI bugs and streamlines the workflow when playing through a level pack.

Bugfixes

• The Players list now persists between sessions as expected.

• Autosave Replay is cancelled if the user is playing back an existing replay and the replay is still active when the level finishes. This is to prevent duplicate replays being saved.

• Level loading is now always forward-looking. It looks for the next unsolved level after the last-played level, and only loops back to the beginning once the end of the pack is reached.

• Similarly, already-completed levels are now skipped when moving from one level to the next, so the next level to load is always an unsolved level (unless all levels in the pack have already been solved, in which case the next available level is loaded).

Level Pack Compiler

• The 'resources' folder now includes a Level Pack Compiler tool which can be used when compiling your own levels into packs for RetroLemmini (note: this tool can also be used for previous versions of Lemmini, but will need to be manually placed in the same folder as 'levels', 'mods', 'music', etc to work correctly).

A reminder of what's new as of 2.0.

Get the latest version here.

Lemmini / Re: How to compose a levelpack.ini file ?

January 04, 2026, 06:07:47 AM

Here is a GUI-based tool for building a full levelpack.ini file. You can add music, levels and groups and auto-generate a codeseed for the pack.

For RetroLemmini: Make sure the .exe is placed in the 'resources' folder.

For any other version of Lemmini: Make sure the .exe is placed in the same folder as 'levels', 'mods', 'music', etc.

Enjoy!

Game Bugs & Suggestions / Re: [+][SUG][PL] "Clear Records" should also clear completion data

January 04, 2026, 03:48:58 AM

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.

Quote from: hrb264 on January 03, 2026, 11:11:14 PMI meant the fact when you select or move your mouse on a lemming, it shows up as C, A, etc under its name or the order in which it came out, whereas on windows lemmings, apart from the directional keys, you kinda have to hope for the best

Ah yeah, C for Climber, F for Floater, A for Athlete, etc. Definitely a good bonus to have for sure!

Quote from: hrb264 on January 03, 2026, 07:31:18 AMI downloaded Neolemmix yesterday but the lemmings seem to walk incredibly fast and my reflexes aren't great at the best of times, is there a setting i can change so they walk slower?

Which version of NeoLemmix have you downloaded? If you open it and take a look at the main menu screen, the version number is printed at the bottom just above the yellow scroller.

The lemmings shouldn't be walking too fast, this may be a bug. If you have screen recording software installed I'd be interested to see how fast the game is running on your system.

There is a hotkey for "slow motion" which slows the entire game down considerably, but you shouldn't have to use this for normal play. To use the hotkey, press F3 from the main menu (or click the yellow title card with the cogs) to access settings. From there, choose "Configure Hotkeys". You'll then be able to assign any key you wish to slow motion. From a quick check, I'm about 80% sure that there isn't a default, so configuring your own will be necessary if you do want to use it. But again, it shouldn't be necessary for just playing the game normally. Further investigation is needed!
