Posts from LemmingsWelt have been successfully loaded onto the new forum!

EDIT: After posting this, I noticed a small error; namely that the timestamps on the messages are wrong. Time to look into that...

Next up; IsaMedia! Due to the format this one is in, which isn't particularly well-suited to anything I've made so far, the easiest way might actually be to first write an app to convert it to a format similar to that which LemmingsWelt is in. However, I'm taking a short break for now. (As in a few hours or so, not a few days. )


EDIT: Got the timestamps fixed. I'm now trying to come up with a piece of SQL code that'll fix the message ordering with minimal side effects. That way, I can allow posting on the new forum without having to worry about disappearing messages (not as in disappearing completely; more accurate would be to say "dropping to the bottom of the list even if the added messages are older").

I'm going to be adding the posts from the old forums over the next few days - at least LemmingsWelt and IsaMedia for now. I've done a test run of adding a post directly via the database, and it goes 99% smoothly. The one minor issue - when sorting topic lists by the newest posts, the highest post in the list is determined by the order they were added to the database, not their timestamps. The result of this is that when I add old posts, they'll push all already-existing posts to the bottom of the list.

In order to minimize the impact of this, I've disabled posting until further notice (ie: until the content of those other forums has been added). The old forums are still available for now, so use them for as long as possible.

I will re-enable posting here when one of the following conditions is met:
- The old forums go down for more than 24 hours, unless it's an intentional action on the part of admins as part of the move
- All posts have been moved over
- If I find a way around this issue (which I probably will, so this is the most likely condition to occur first)

Until then, keep in mind - existing posts will not be lost; they'll simply be pushed to the bottom of the topic lists. A single reply will bring them back to the top.

Update is finally here. This update brings the NeoLemmix versions in line with what LPO was released based on, as well as allowing general use of the LPO gimmicks (and the new feature of entrances pre-assigning permanent skills).

NeoLemmix V1.26n-C
-----------------------------
* Increased the strictness of Platformer terrain checks.
* Fixed a bug with swimmer+climber athletes.
* Fixed a bug with a three-way interaction between a climber, a blocker
  and a stacker.
* Fixed a minor graphical glitch in the Desert style.
* LPO gimmicks are now usable in all NeoLemmix players:
  (Gim24) is the rising water gimmick. Any water (or fire!) objects that you
    want to rise should have their L value set to a non-zero value; they will
    rise by 1 pixel every (L value) frames. Note that it should be impossible
    for the lemmings to get below the water level unless they'll drown (or swim)
    immediately, and any objects that come before the water in the object list
    must have the same No Overwrite setting as the water itself does; otherwise
    graphical glitches may occur.
  (Gim25) is the Playtime 10 gimmick. Giving away how this works would spoil the
    level's solution so I won't detail it just yet, PM me if you want the info.
  (Gim26) is the Zombie gimmick. Marking a lemming as a zombie is done the same
    way as initially giving it a skill; the value to add for zombie is 64.
* Just like with pre-placed lemmings, trapdoors can also have skills initially
  assigned to the lemmings they spawn. It's done the same way as for a pre-placed
  lemming, except that trapdoors can't spawn blockers (they CAN spawn zombies).
* Lemmings Plus Flashbacks is now included in the NeoLemmix update stream; as
  always this is considered an unofficial version of the game.

Also, the NeoLemmix website finally has information on all the NeoLemmix file formats (except VGASPEC, but standard Lemmings VGASPECs will work perfectly fine too).

I just tried it and had no problems, but also had no unread posts at the time. I'll try again when there are some, or if nessecary, post some with a dummy account for testing purposes.

Alright, I'm going to be able to get the existing posts and attachments for sure. I already have them all on my PC; just have to write a program to parse them, then import them to this forum.

Also, you might've noticed the URL changed (and old URLs automatically redirected) to lemforums.neolemmix.com instead of lemforums.nfshost.com. I did this to test if it'd be very complicated to move to a new URL (in case we can get the lemmingsforums.com domain, or register a new one) and it's very simple with no issues whatsoever.

The logo at the top of the page is the most important. Right now it's just the old one with the lemmings removed and "Forums" centered. We can worry about the rest later.

NOTE: This topic has been closed. The links / info here may be out of date. This pack can be discussed in the general Lemmings Plus topic here.

Well everyone... it's finally here! The Lemmings Plus pack to conclude all Lemmings Plus packs... or something epic-sounding like that.

Lemmings Plus Omega is a NeoLemmix-based pack of 135 levels, using the graphic sets from both LPII and LPIII. It's my last major pack (at least under the "Lemmings Plus" brand), and if the testers' feedback is anything to go by, it's going to be a great end to the series. ^_^

There's no secret levels this time, so no need to hunt endlessly for them. There are gimmick and frenzy levels - in their own rank, seperate from the main levels, so if you don't like them, you don't have to play them. (Or if you mainly like them, you don't have to dig them out among the normal levels). Unlike LPII and LPIII, there are once again repeat levels - something I really missed in those two packs!

My aim with the difficulty was to have a similar standard to LPII. This means that it doesn't get quite as hard as LPIII did, but it's still pretty challenging towards the end. And since it uses the new NeoLemmix skills, there's the added challenge of getting used to those - of course, there's tutorial levels to introduce them!

Anyway, I'll expand on this post later, but for now... here's the download locations.

NeoLemmix Website

Both links have both the game itself and a music pack. The music pack is completely optional; it just gives better quality versions of some musics.

So, download, and enjoy!

Special thanks to Akseli, DynaLem, Minim, mobius and Nepster for pre-release testing - this pack definitely had a much more extensive testing period than LPIII or HLP did, so hopefully I've got everything right the first time!
