As usual, we're not going to be ridiculously strict. I'll leave it open to Simon and the other admins to decide if they want to revise these, but for now, as a starting point:

1. A maximum of two topics per project - one as an "in development" topic, one as a release topic, and please close the development topic if/when you make a separate release topic.
2. If you are not otherwise active in the community (we'll be fairly lenient on this, but not eg. accounts that sign up, post their project, and are never seen again), please do not post any commercial products here.
3. Just in case, Lemmings Forums takes no responsibility in any way for any projects shared here. Buy / download / use at your own risk.

For example, just now I noticed a message on there saying "Level of the Year 2017 is now in the playing phase", even though the voting phase is now over.

I've removed this specific case, but in general - don't forget to update things like this. Any admin can update it via the admin panel.

This topic is now closed. Please direct further Lemmings Plus VI discussion to the general Lemmings Plus series topic.

Well, it's been a few months since the announcement, but Lemmings Plus VI is finally here!

As usual for the main Lemmings Plus series, Lemmings Plus VI features a few new graphic sets - only three this time - and a large number of levels using them, this time, it's 80 levels across four ranks.

A common complaint with Lemmings Plus V and Lemmings Plus Omega II was that they were getting far too hard, so I decided to dial things back a bit for Lemmings Plus VI. That does NOT mean the pack is a total pushover, just that it isn't as hard as my other recent packs - it's a bit more on par with Lemmings Plus III and IV difficulty-wise. I also dialed it back on the huge levels - there's only one level in LPVI that comes close to "huge", and that level is a pure horizontal scroller. (Those of you who preferred me in "evil genius" mode, don't worry. I don't plan to never make hard packs again, I was just taking it easier for this one.)

I'll spruce this topic up a bit later, but for now, let's give you what you really came here for - the download links.
Download Lemmings Plus VI V12.01
Download Lemmings Plus VI Music

You must download the music seperately, the main download does not include it. I have taken this step because whereas previous packs had maybe 1MB or so of music, Lemmings Plus VI's musics add up to over 10MB, due to the use of OGGs rather than modules.

Extract both zips into your base NeoLemmix folder; everything will end up in the correct place. If you're asked about overwriting the "theme.nxmi" file in "namida_special", it doesn't matter what you do - that "theme.nxmi" file is really just there to avoid crashing if for some reason a level defines its theme as "namida_special" (which none intentionally do), and the new one and the one you've already got are likely identical anyway.

Regarding the use of graphic sets for your own levels, I make the guarantee at this point that there will be no physics changes to existing pieces, though I do not yet make the same guarantee for cosmetic changes or new additions.

On a side note - try to get all the talismans! Although some are the usual "get the solution perfect" or "save as much as possible on an easy level", there are a few cases in Lemmings Plus VI where the talisman is more like an extremely hard repeat of the level, and a good, unique challenge in its own right - Manic 1 being the best example of this.

Special thanks to the testing team - Akseli, Flopsy, joshescue18, Nepster, Nessy and Wafflem.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Select two objects that are both adjustable in size, for example, two one-way arrow objects.
2. Notice how the width/height edit boxes disappear.

Expected: Edit boxes remain. (Disappearing if a non-resizable object is selected is understandable.) Entering a value affects all objects. An indication, such as displaying no number in the input box or recoloring the box, when the selected objects have different sizes would be nice, but not essential.

Hover the mouse over a stacker, while having the Cloner skill selected. Observe frame by frame. You'll notice that one frame - which I believe is either the first or the last of the cycle - the shadow is slightly different from all other frames.

This different frame, the shadow is the correct size, but is drawn one pixel lower than it should be.

EDIT: Cloner-builder also has a glitch. On frames where the "create mirrored brick if cloned/blocked" corner case applies, the cloner shadow will not include this mirrored brick. Much less severe, because most NeoLemmix users will know it will be made, and the rest of the shadow appears to always be correct.

It's been brought to my attention that on the new server, the forum doesn't appear to be sending notification / other emails correctly.

If no other admin does so first, I'll try to look into this by the end of the week. In the meantime:
- If you are trying to register an account and do not receive the confirmation email, please contact a forum mod or admin via our #neolemmix or #lix IRC channels. You can click on the respective channel names in the previous sentence to launch a webchat for those channels. (I am not 100% sure off-hand if the forum mods can activate accounts, but at the very least they can bring it to admins' attention via the staff board.)
- In any other case (notifications etc), please be aware you may not receive these currently. If any topic is important for you to follow, please ensure to check it manually. Alternatively, join the aforementioned IRC channels, where we have a bot who alerts us to new posts on the forums - this bot still functions perfectly fine.

Despite a few hiccups like this, the move seems to be a great success, and aside from hugely reducing costs, we also have much more control over the new server than we ever did on the old one.

So, I felt we had somewhat outgrown NearlyFreeSpeech. Nothing against them at all; they were great, but the site has grown to the point where it's more cost-effective to run it on a dedicated VPS than on a hosting service like NearlyFreeSpeech.

I was going to wait for feedback from other staff but... well, y'all know what I'm like with getting things done in a rush.

So, yeah. We're live on a new server now!

(On a side note, this does mean that further donations should not be made through the old link.)

There might be some more brief downtime over the next few days, due to also transferring the domains to a new registrar (as NFS gets expensive for domains if you aren't hosting with them).

Thanks guys*!
