Okay, so, I'd say we can close this one at this point - looks like all is well. (Of course, if any bugs are found later, report them!)

Okay so, this was changed because while looking into a sound-related bug report, I noticed these files had weird frequencies, so I re-saved them all with standard ones. Obviously this has caused issues for some people; on the other hand, the person who reported that bug (who is the only one to report the issue they had) never responded as to whether it helped.

So - I'll put a style update that reverts the sounds.

This is still on the cards.

how about being able to continuously scroll through the skills, so that when pressing "next skill" once it reaches whichever skill is furthest to the right on the panel, it scrolls back to the skill furthest on the left (and vice versa)?

Implemented in commit db95d23. There's really no reason this shouldn't have been the case.

They work fine for me - must be something on your end.

You mention having to specifically set your software to allow downloads from the forums - do note that these downloads come from neolemmix.com, not lemmingsforums.net, if that helps. (However, Lemmings Plus VI is no exception to that...)

Has anyone checked out this behavior in the new-objects experimentals? Thoughts?

I tried a couple and they're fine; which one specifically are you having issue with?

While feedback has been limited compared to the new skills proposals, I do feel this has been open a long time and decisions need to start getting made.

At this stage, I am going to confirm all new object types will go ahead, subject to not running into major technical issues while testing / fixing them (but there will be no further "is it popular?" or "is it useful?" discussion factored in).

Given that I've also implemented a lot of other (general) improvements to NL, but done very little work on replay editor / manager, I'm also considering whether to go back to having 12.13 as the new objects version and then 12.14 for the replay stuff. This is not a definite decision yet, though. With this being said, these definitely need more testing before they're ready to include in a stable build.

Modifying the earlier proposal based on feedback:

Firstly, prevent any further frame advancement once all lemmings, including zombies, have died or exited. (For aesthetic purposes, if the lemming is killed by a triggered trap, this would take effect from the frame the trap's animation finishes. The current "exit on no lemmings remain" behavior already takes this into account, so the support is already there for detecting the condition.)

Secondly, allow two options, set seperately for each condition, for what occurs when running out of lemmings or running out of time - either "pause the game" or "do nothing" (or more accurately, "play a sound but otherwise do nothing"). The former (ie: pause the game) would be the default setting. I expect most people would change to use "do nothing", but (especially in light of the next point) this would be a more newcomer-friendly default.

Thirdly, if the user has the "pause the game" setting, then when such a pause is activated, flash a message saying "No lemmings left - Nuke to exit" or "Time is up - Nuke to exit" in place of the usual data above the skill panel. This could also be intermittent, ie: alternate every few seconds whether this message or the usual stats are displayed. Only activate this message once per play attempt (the primary purpose would be to help new players figure out how to exit). This message disappears when the game is unpaused, rewound, or advanced via framesteps / skips.

Fourthly, add another option - wording needs improvement, but "automatically exit if save requirement is met and time is up or no lemmings remain". Not certain that this needs to be two seperate options for each condition.

Some finer points need to be considered here. For example - let's say that a user who has the "pause" setting, activates the nuke, then the time runs out or the last lemming dies while the nuke is counting down. Do we still want to pause in this case, or just immediately exit? Another case to come to mind - let's say the user (who still has the pause setting) triggers such a pause, then framesteps backwards, then does something else and runs out of lemmings/time again, do we want to pause a second time? (Perhaps a workaround for this latter case is to provide a way to change the option while in-game.)

I would also consider whether "every lemming has been saved" (ie: 100% has been achieved, including cloners if applicable) should perhaps be a special case where the game would just exit regardless of settings. I'm leaning against it, but feel it's worthy of consideration.
