When a lemming is completely trapped inside the terrain as well as a force field, you can make him move a pixel forward by assigning him a walker no matter what.


With this bug, with enough skills and lemmings, you can get through any arbitrary thick steel wall.

level files and replays are attached.

Welcome to Lemmings Forum LDC Compilation Pack!

 - The pack compiles the levels from the past contests in chronological order :

 - I’ve compiled all the contest levels into a single pack so the old levels don’t get forgotten and one can play them in the latest NL. I'm going to update the pack from time to time.
 - I modified some levels to make them solvable since several NL physics changes(especially swimmer/glider changes) broke them
 - Converting from old lvl to nxlv sometimes messes up the directions and positions of some terrain pieces/objects so these levels probably are not exactly identical to the original levels.
 - If a level is released later modified, I just include the re-made version.
 - I didn't include any custom musics.
 - All levels are proven solvable. You can download the pack and the solution replays below.

* There are some levels using tilesets that you can not download via NL style manager. You have to manually download them to play the following levels.

These are my own solutions which means they are just proof of solvability not the intended solutions by the authors!
At least I've tried to find something look like the intended solutions and didn't include replays that are obviously backroutes!

Here're some screenshots!


Enjoy!

Merry Christmas everyone! Welcome to my second Neolemmix level pack!


(They are Lemming&Lemmina )

I’ve made a holiday pack to celebrate the 30th Christmas in Lemmingland.
It's a small pack of 30(+1 credits level) levels across three ranks: Retro, Avant-garde, Bonus



1.) Download Links(Dropbox):

Level Pack: Xmas Lemmings 2021 V1.3
Music: Xmas Lemmings 2021 Music
Intended Solution Replays: Solution Replays

This pack has all the music files in the subfolder “Xmas2021”. So do not manually move the music files into the main music folder!
The only thing you have to do yourself is to extract them into your main NeoLemmix folder.



2.) Ranks

This pack is divided into 3 ranks:


1. Retro (Easy-Hard)(12levels)

 Retro rank levels primarily use Snow(OhNo) and Snow(Raymanni) tilesets and take some decorations from various other styles.
 It starts with lighter puzzles and X-of everything levels and gradually enters harder territory.
 All levels feature classic 8 skills only and some occasional Neolemmix objects such as pre-assigned hatch.


Retro3 Snowy Wish – Wishing you peace, health, happiness and prosperity in the coming year.


Retro9 Rendezvous at the Cavern – A secret rendezvous in the cavern...


2.Avant-garde (Easy-Hard)(12main levels + 1credits level)

 Avant-garde rank mainly uses Snow(OhNo) & Snow(Raymanni) tilesets too.
 The difficulty resets to [Easy] once you finish the retro rank and start Avant-garde rank.
 This rank features all 21 Neolemmix skills including slider and laserer.


Avant-garde2 Meanwhile in Namidaland – Christmas comes in the middle of the summer in Namidaland!


Avant-garde8 Last Shepherd of the Dead - Put them out of their misery before Christmas is over...


3. Bonus (Very Hard)(6levels)

 These levels are for those who want extra challenge!
 They were originally in either Retro rank or Avant-garde rank.
 Based on the feedbacks from the pre-testers, I gathered the 3 hardest levels from each rank and separated them to this Bonus rank.


Bonus1 Lemming Entanglement - Is quantum entanglement the key to teleportation?

Enjoy and happy Christmas

In specific height and location, slider lemmings don't turn around and keep going to their original direction even after falling.

it looks like a situation where handlign for a couple of edge cases, has itself resulted in an edge case

A lemming with permanent skill turn to green in Xmas sprites.


1) But if you assign a digger to a green lemming, it return to red.
If you assign any constructive/destructive skill other than the digger, it remains green


2) Bomber-ohnoer return to red while stoner-ohnoer remain green.

Already reported and fixed : https://www.lemmingsforums.net/index.php?topic=5607

But the bug happened to me again in RC3.
I attached the problematic level.
The level gives you 10 of every original 8 skills when you play it.
But if you open the level with Editor 1.38, all the skills are reset to zero.

This post is follow-up to Strato's "Tricks with the new NeoLemmix skills"

I've been playing with new experimental skills for past few weeks.
Both laserer and slider are fantastic imo and they have a lot of puzzle potential.
I think it's good to have a thread for discussing what we can do with these new skills.
So, let me start


Slider

The most basic usage of slider is probably giving a lemming capability to survive a fall of any height.(works as a substitute for the floater)
I think the most glaring differences between the slider and the floater are 1) slider can transit to shimmier and 2) slider turn around after every falling

1) Slider can transit to shimmier
Slider in combination with the shimmier, it can cross underside of platforms. And it opens up opportunities of accessing area where lemmings never had access to before.


2) Slider turn around after every falling
This is what makes the slider a more interesting skill. Slider lemmings turn around after every falling. This is very powerful ability definitely, but at the same time this ability can be disadvantages at some points. So when you play a level featuring slider, you always have to keep in mind that when you take advantages of slider ability(fall survival, turning around), you have to overcome its disadvantages at some points.

e.g1) Imagine you have only one constructive skill and one gap to cross, and the worker lemming is a slider. If you just build across the gap, the worker lemming will turn around after he finished his job and die.

We want to reuse the slider so don't want to let him die. So what can we do to save him?


You can assign digger to the slider lemming after he finish building then he will fall down without turning around!


Or you can assign blocker to the slider lemming after he finish building and later release him with second pioneer lemming.

e.g2) You can contain group of slider lemmings in creative ways. Here're some examples :

You can later release them with just one destructive skill.


You can even contain slider+climber athletes with stacker+miner(or stacker+basher)

e.g3) You can send a lemming to a bomber hole and make a splatform from there.



Laserer

The lemming stand still and fires 45 degree laser and destroy all the terrains in its way until the laser comes into contact with steel or reaches its maximum height. Unlike laser blaster in Lemmings2 the tribe, Neolemmix laserer is angled.

1) The most basic usage of laserer is probably using it at the end of the level to release the crowd.
Contain every lemming except for one pioneer lemming -> Send pioneer lemming right next to the exit -> use laserer to destroy the ceiling and release the crowd.
This method is only possible when the exit is at the lower layer of the level than where the crowd is.

2) Laserer can destroy multiple layers of terrains.
e.g1) With only one laserer, you can release the crowd by destroying the terrain under the blocker and at the same time, destroy the upper layer of the terrain so the shimmier can keep going.


e.g2) Combine with blocker(or cloner), laserer can destroy both left and right side of the terrains.
(You need to place a blocker to hold back the crowd anyway. )


3) Laserer create shimmier-friendly terrain.
As you can see from the above gif, laserer tunnel is wide enough so that the shimmier can keep going.



So, I tried to introduced some of the tricks I found featuring new skills.(I exclude some advanced tricks that I already use in my unreleased new skill levels. ) Feel free to add any tricks you know !
