- ok! Thank you for the explanation :)
- unfortunately, atm, I don't have free time to play Lemmings (or other video games)... :(

Tech & Research / Re: NeoLemmix: technical doc

Thank you very much! :)
It's perfect.

I'll see what I can find about tileset management too, because I would like to accurately load NeoLemmix levels!! (for instance, "Exit" Object is a single sprite, now)

In "The lemmings Have Grown [Morning walk 05]", level's title is "Chimie de Laboratoire" : is it intended, since "Laboratoire de Chimie" (Chemistry Laboratory) is more commonly used.

I follow Icho's daily videos, and there are nice levels, indeed! Great job!! :)

Tech & Research / NeoLemmix: technical doc
« on: February 07, 2021, 10:56:54 AM »
Hi,

Next friday, I'll have a full day available to work on my Lemmings-like game for Android.
I would like to load NeoLemmix levels with the best possible compatibility.

Is there somewhere where I could find recent (up-to-date?) technical documentation about levels' structure in NeoLemmix? (I think about the keywords which are used in level files, or Objects' flags, etc...)
I would also be interested in getting documentation about NeoLemmix's tilesets (pieces of info about tilesets' structure + downloading up-to-date tilesets and spritesheets, in order to perform relevant tests).

Next friday, I won't be able to do all the things I would like to do of course, but I hope to do the most I can.

Thank you very much!

NeoLemmix Main / looking for levels using experimental skills
« on: January 25, 2021, 06:52:25 PM »
I'm watching IchoTolot's YouTube videos about new experimental skills (btw great new skills and videos!), and I would like to know if it's possible to download these levels somewhere?
Actually, I would like to use them as test levels in my Android game, too. It would be a nice test! (level loading, collisions, new skills...)
Currently, new skills are not available yet, but I'm working on it :)
Thank you!

OK, thank you for the pieces of info!

About the hitboxes in NeoLemmix, they always consist of a single pixel, or not necessary? (for example, hitting a roof depends on a single pixel only ?)

I'm thinking about some serious changes in the Android game (double sprites' scale, simplify the handling of hitboxes, ...), and I'm weighing the pros and cons (hence my questions), because it's not an easy decision...

In NeoLemmix's spritesheets, why has the empty margin (from the png's left/right side to the actual left/right sprite) not the same width for left and right Lemmings sprites, please ?
(the left margin for left sprites is always wider than the right margin for right sprites)

In .png images, I would have thought left and right sprites would use a full symetrical approach, sliding right sprites 1 px more to the left.

Thank you for the explanation!

Tech & Research / Hitboxes in Lemmings and NeoLemmix
« on: January 17, 2021, 10:00:27 AM »
Hi,

Yesterday, I got back to work on my Lemmings-like game for Android :)
The work has been on hold for 2 years :( and, unfortunately, I won't be able to work regularly on the game, but I'll try to work on it the more I can!!
The good news is the game still works like a charm on my newer smartphone (nothing broke between different devices and different Android versions)
Another good news is playing the game after this long pause allowed me to see things I want to improve :)
One of those things could be to simplify the code which deals with Lemmings' hitboxes...

In Lemmings/SuperLemmini and/or NeoLemmix, where are -(at 'pixel' level)- :
- 1) the hitboxes which trigger a fall from a wall's edge, from stairs, etc... ? (if pixel at Lemming's back foot (see "scheme.nxmi") is empty?)
- 2) the hitboxes which trigger a fall when hitting a roof ? (at Lemming's head?)
- 3) the hitboxes which trigger a turn around when hitting a wall or a Blocker ? (at Lemming's back foot? head? body?)
- 4) any other hitbox(es) I may miss?

Thank you for your help!

Thank you! Yes, I enjoyed publishing updates : it was very motivating to see the game take shape :)
About the missing screenshots: yes, it's too bad they disapeared (the free online service I used to host the game's pictures removed most of the links :( )

Hi,

Sorry for my late reply !!! :(

In the Android game, Stacker stands on top of the stack he's building (single column), and he doesn't flip back and forth between looking left and right.
But I like the idea of flipping the Stacker's side (it could lead to interesting uses) : I'll think about it :)

Currently, I really have no time available for getting back at work on the Android game, unfortunately :( It's paused but I definitively want to work on the Android game asap!!

Sorry, I don't know Stackers' behaviour difference between NeoLemmix and L2 (never played L2).
Could you explain the difference, please ? ;)

Yes.
Here are the game's 15 available skills, in alphabetical order (one can create levels which use all the 15 skills) :
- 1) Basher
- 2) Blocker
- 3) Bomber
- 4) Builder
- 5) Climber
- 6) Digger
- 7) DownBuilder (builds stairs which go down)
- 8) Fencer
- 9) Floater
- 10) Flyer (first, goes up ; then flies horizontally for a short time)
- 11) Glider (diagonal Floater)
- 12) Miner
- 13) Platformer (horizontal Builder)
- 14) Stacker (vertical Builder)
- 15) Walker (eg: make a U-turn, or revert a Blocker to a Walker)

It looks like most of the screenshots have been removed from the website I uploaded them on: it's too bad because I posted many, many screenshots in order to show the evolution of this project.

Hi @LJLPM,
Is this still being worked on? It seemed really promising.

Hi,
Thank you for your message :)
Sorry for the lack of updates: the project is currently paused because I don't have time to seriously get back at work on it.
I didn't work on the Android game (+ the level editor) in 2020. I can only hope to work again on this project in 2021.

Project's current status is:
- coding is pretty much finished (game + level editor + basic website to upload/share your levels), but I broke the game's replay system.
- now, the main goal is to make the game's graphics.

Believe me, I don't want to have done so much work for not releasing the game. I want to see this game finished some day!! :)
