Alright, let's keep everything in one place. If you know of any bugs, or have any suggestions (note: only minor changes are likely to be considered at this point), for the NeoLemmix Player make them in this topic. In the case of bugs, be sure to mention which version (and game, if it only happens in one of them) it happened in; even better if you can attach a replay.

Things that may be worth reporting are any mechanics-related glitches, anything that causes a crash, or any levels that are impossible or disproportionately difficult to beat in their respective NeoLemmix players if the level is included in a player in the NeoLemmix update stream - if the issue is with a version of the level other than the included one (eg: the DOS version levels used directly in NeoLemmix) then that's simply an issue of the level not being made for NeoLemmix (or adjusted to fit it), and if it's someone's custom level, that's obviously something you'd have to take up with the level author.

Anything that's been struck out has been added (or fixed, in the case of bugs) for the next update. All bugs (but not suggestions) are ordered by most important first; this doesn't nessecerially mean they'll get fixed in that order though (especially if I plan to fix them all in the same update; I'll generally fix the easiest-to-fix ones first rather than the most serious).

Note: There will be no further updates to V1.xxn branch players, unless there are critical bugs. "Critical" means that something actually doesn't work, not that there's a behaviour that probably shouldn't happen as a result of a very obscure and specific setup and combination of skills / objects / gimmicks (though if an update is needed for the former reason, fixes of the latter type may possibly be applied at the same time).

Currently noted suggestions:
> Add an option to display total number of lemmings in level (minus those who have died / exited) for OUT, rather than only those that have already spawned
> Don't count zombies / ghosts in the lemming count on preview screen

Currently known high-priority bugs:
none

Currently known low-priority bugs:
> When cheat mode is used to access non-existant secret levels in NeoCustLemmix, they act like clones of the first levels of each rank
    This bug won't be relevant anymore in V2.00n, and doesn't affect gameplay, so won't be fixed.
> The first frame of a trap animation is skipped.
    This bug (which carried over from regular Lemmix) could open up a lot of backroutes if fixed. As such, I'm leaving it as is until V2.00n, at which point due to being a rewrite re-testing levels would be highly recommended anyway.

Levels that need checking:
H94 Frost 12 - Impossible in current version

One thing that a couple of users have brought up in the chat is that they find things such as the logo, karma, the lemming icons under the username, etc, to be pointless and just take up space. Other users clearly do like these (otherwise, for example, they wouldn't have volunteered to make images for them), so what I'm wondering is... if I were to look into making a "light" theme (which anyone can select to use, and would strip out these features and only display the essential board elements), how many people would want to use it?

And, one for Holiday cLemmings!

As usual. ZIP of the level images is attached. You can get the pack here, and if you want the updated Lemmix features, you can just replace the EXE with a copy of the H94 Lemmix player.

Frost 1 - Floating Down!
(Image attached)
Good: A nice easy level to start off with.
Bad: The way part of the exit hangs in midair looks a bit weird.

Okay, well, I felt like starting up a few more level review games, so here's one for cLemmings, created by exit!
I've attached a zip of all the level images to this post.

We'll start from Fun 8, as the first 7 levels are copied verbatim from the original Lemmings game.

If you don't already have cLemmings, you can download it here. If you want the up-to-date Lemmix features, you can just replace the EXE with a copy of the Orig Lemmix player; make sure to turn LookForLVLFiles on.

Fun 8 - Lemming Crystaliers
(Image attached)

Good: A not overly difficult level to start, with no immediate threat to the lemmings and a bit of variety in the solution without being too long.
Bad: A buried exit is quite tricky for a first proper level.

Alright, let's kick this off, and hopefully revive the level designing spirit and see some new ideas!

Here are the standard rules for all official contests:
1) You may not enter into the contest a level that you've (or anyone else) released before. You are, however, welcome to release it as part of another pack after the contest is over. This includes remaking a level on a different engine.
2) One entry per person, unless the contest's rules specifically state otherwise.
3) Anyone caught attempting to cheat at or manipulate the voting in any way is disqualified.
4) Whether or not a level meets the criteria is decided by the LF administrators; the winner will be decided by vote unless otherwise stated in the contest's rules (which may only happen if the winning criteria is purely objective).
5) Any deadline dates / times are in UTC.
6) Joint entries are permitted, but there will still only be one prize; it will be up to the entrants to determine how they will split this.
7) Whichever staff member(s) is/are running the contest may enter just for fun, but cannot receive prizes - the prize will be passed on to the next position.
8) Entries should be submitted via private message to the staff member running the contest. Do not post them in the topic, unless the contest's guidelines say otherwise. If the contest allows for use of more than one engine, please be sure to specify which engine you've created your level for, and if you've used traditional Lemmix, please be sure to specify which mechanics set (Orig, OhNo or Cust) your level is intended to be played under.
9) Deadlines may be extended once, by one week, if less than four entries have been received. If there are still less than four entries after this, that contest is cancelled.

Contest #1

Goal: Design a level using an unofficial graphics set. This may mean (but isn't limited to) any of the LPII or LPIII graphic sets, the Castle set for Lemmini, or even a newly made one specifically for this contest. The Sega set does not count as an "unofficial" graphics set.
VGASPECs / equivalents: Not allowed.
Allowed Engines: Lemmix, NeoLemmix, Lemmini, SuperLemmini
Winning Criteria: Users (which may include those who did not enter the contest) will vote for their favorite level.

Timeframe: Entries close 16 Jan 2015. Voting will commence approximately one week after this, and last for one week. Voting will be done in multiple rounds with fewer levels each round (and fewer votes allowed per user each round), the exact specifics will depend on how many levels are entered.

You may make a level of any size, and if it's a NeoLemmix level, you may use any skillset and/or gimmick you like.

Prizes:
Your choice of:
- A Steam game, Amazon gift card, or similar to the value of up to US$10 (or equivalent in another currency)
- An advertisement in the board's news box (on the main page) for a project of yours, whether Lemmings-related or not and whether free or not
- Getting to pick the next contest's criteria

Both 1st and 2nd place get a prize; they may not choose the same prize (1st place has first pick, obviously). Either winner may choose not to claim any prize, in which case 3rd place will get their prize instead (and so on).

Good luck, and may the best level win!

EDIT: If using a tileset other than those included with (Neo)CustLemmix (ie: any (Super)Lemmini tileset, or any (Neo)Lemmix tileset other than the LPII or LPIII ones), please also include a copy (or download link) of the tileset with your submission.

If you're using the NeoLemmix Editor (which is more or less essential to making NeoLemmix or SuperLemmini levels), you may want to see the NeoLemmix Editor page on the NeoLemmix website for information on the new features.

Here's the new features so far for the next NeoLemmix update:

- Adjustable size VGASPECs, instead of a fixed 960x160 size
- An alternate mode for Rescue Blink that makes it blink when enough have been saved, not when enough haven't
- Added an 80 pixel fall distance option, which may be useful for converting Cheapo levels
- The level pack name and filename prefix options for Cust are now in the config menu
- Background color can now be set via entering a code while Cheat Mode is enabled (since I feel it's somewhat of a cheaty/debuggy feature)
- The INI file is now completely unused and will no longer be created

The editor is of course going to be updated to support these new features, and the VGASPEC adjustment will be made on traditional Lemmix too.

The majority of Lemmings Forum posts' attachments have been imported, but a very small number of them couldn't be properly imported. If you find any that haven't, please report them in this topic by posting a link to the post; even better if you can also post a link to the topic on the old forum.

Please also state which case it is:
a) The post specifically states at the end of it "X attachments from this post were not able to be transferred"
b) The attachments are listed, but a 404 error is given when trying to download them

Thanks in advance.

To moderators/administrators: Please edit a post to strike out topics if/when you fix them.
