The Eraser - When assigned, it erases any steel areas, traps, or water within a certain radius of the lemming.

The InvinciLem - A lemming given this ability simply cannot die.  Traps, water, and splat falls have no effect on him.  If he falls off the bottom of the screen, he will re-appear at the top.  (I can think of a zillion uses for this last feature alone.)

The former is somewhat similar to the Mechanic skill in NeoLemmix; the last part of the latter exists in NeoLemmix but as a gimmick rather than a skill (if you aren't familiar with NeoLemmix and/or the Lemmings Plus series, a "gimmick" is a twist to the mechanics that applies to an entire level; they vary from subtle changes such as how the skill counts work, to things as major as having to kill the lemmings instead of save them, or even having zombie lemmings - the latter has an entire (small) game built around it).

Indeed it should. I'll make sure to fix that in the next update.

They'll still be included in the same way they are now.

Testing is up to Psycho 21 now. A few levels have had some changes; two relate to either being impossible or near-impossible under NeoLemmix mechanics (you have to keep in mind; the last time LPDOS was fully inspected under NeoLemmix mechanics was, IIRC, before LPIII was released, and there have been quite a few small mechanics changes since then), while others are some difficulty tweaks on levels that are excessively easy for their position. One is a backroute fix I couldn't resist applying.

The full list of changed levels so far is:
Danger 23 - The aforementioned backroute fix. Also affects Wimpy 25.
Danger 24 - Made this level MUCH harder.
Psycho 5 - Made this level slightly easier (it's still very hard).
Psycho 13 - This level (or at least its intended solution) was impossible under NeoLemmix mechanics in its current state. Also affects Medi 1.
Psycho 14 - Made this level slightly harder.
Psycho 17 - Made this level slightly harder.
Psycho 18 - Removed one skill that isn't nessecary to the solution and could potentially open backroutes (though I'm not currently aware of any).

EDIT: One other level had a change, albeit a purely cosmetic one - Psycho 30's screen start position had become messed up somewhere along the line; it's been set back to what it should be now.

I'll probably make some adjustments to the skillset in Cheeky 8's case, and perhaps reduce the required percentage. I won't move the level, though.

For the level review games, so far you haven't gotten up to any levels that would be affected majorly by the change. The first level where it really has any noticable impact is Mild 22 (due to the lack of blockers in the NeoLemmix version). And there's nothing that might actually have an impact on some solutions until Medi 16. However, I would say switch to the NeoLemmix version (as a note; I'll update the level images on the website, so if you've been using the neolemmix.com level image links, they'll automatically change to the NeoLemmix ones).

I can probably do something for the graphic set switch. I'll get back to you on that one.


I also noticed when testing, the two early-Psycho fire levels with really fidgety execution (Psycho 2 and Psycho 5); the former is a lot easier under NeoLemmix, while the latter is virtually impossible - I say "virtually" because it can be done, but pretty much every skill needs to be frame-perfectly assigned. The former I might leave as is, but the latter I might reduce the difficulty a bit, most likely by making it save 72 of 80 (instead of save 63 of 70), allowing one extra lemming lost, which is similar in difficulty to the traditional Lemmix verison of this level.

This could very well explain why it's only shown up recently and why it doesn't happen for me. Previously, the copies from DropBox were always in a ZIP, but recently I've been putting them up as standalone EXE downloads. In my case, since it's compiled on my own PC rather than being downloaded, it wouldn't happen for me either.

Does what DynaLem said help for anyone else?

By the way, I put the level images up on the NeoLemmix website now.

Here's a V1.28n-B update. Well, sort of; it's only an update for one specific player, which is Cust.

V1.28n-B [update for NeoCustLemmix only]
--------
* NeoCustLemmix now has an option to load single level files; press F6 on the
  main menu then select a level file.

(Obviously, it must be a Lemmix or NeoLemmix LVL file. Encrypted LVL files will work fine.)

As has been mentioned in several places around the forum, some people are getting errors when trying to launch playtest mode on recent versions of the editor / player.

If you're having problems, check the following:
> Do you have a copy of the NeoCustLemmix (or if it's a traditional Lemmix level, then regular CustLemmix) in the folder with the editor?
> In NeoLemmixStyles.ini, is TestEXE for the style you're using set to "CustLemmixNeo.exe" (or "CustLemmix.exe") - without quotes!
> Does that copy of (Neo)CustLemmix work properly when launched directly?

Some things that could possibly be causes:
> Very long paths to the EXE. This is what I suspect highest to be the cause, though I don't know what paths people are using.
> Outdated versions of the editor with new versions of the player or vice versa. I very much doubt this would cause it, but at least one person has mentioned the problem went away by updating.
> Access restrictions on the folder the editor is in. Try running it as an Administrator, or alternatively, putting it in a folder that requires no special priveleges or specific users to access.
> Your computer doesn't like you.


If you can't resolve this problem, let me know as much as you can about how you have the editor and (Neo)CustLemmix set up - screenshots or even ZIPs of your editor folder may especially be helpful; you may want to PM these things rather than post them publicly.


I've added a note about this to the first post here, but I can't do much about it until I can either reproduce the error or get more info on when it does and doesn't occur.
