I believe the fixes in recent versions likely address that backroute even if they weren't designed for it. In the event that you can still get it to work in the latest version, I'd like to know about it.

I can confirm that my solution doesn't work in V7. And, I now have no idea how to solve it!

Here's an LP of the first rank of Redux, episode 1 of the new series!

Some quick final thoughts on this topic:

I've almost finished making Amiga Lemmings, which is essentially a converting-to-NXLV and minimal tidying up of the original Lemmings and Oh No! LVLs extracted directly from the Amiga platform.

These can serve as (at least graphically) authentic versions of the levels which people can use for remixes, or simply enjoy an experience that's as visually close to playing the levels on the Amiga as you can get in NeoLemmix (the custom skill panel will help with this aesthetic as well!).

Meanwhile, I think we all want versions of the original levels that are widely recognised as "NeoLemmix official", (albeit unofficially ), for use in challenges and to remain on the official conversions page for easy access.

Originally, I did offer to be the one maintaining such versions, but the more I think about it the more I realise I'm probably not the best person to do this given that I'm not exactly a "NeoLemmixer" when it comes to Lemmings gameplay philosophy. I also realise that Amiga versions of the levels aren't compatible with this philosophy, and therefore my compilation isn't the best one to use for this purpose.

So, I just wanted it to be clear that I'm more than happy to see Proxima take the reigns with this, but of course my offer of help with the task still stands should it ever be needed.

I'd also put ericderkovits forward as a Forum member whose attention to detail and enthusiasm for the original games makes him an ideal person to work with on this as well.

So, with that, I'm signing off my involvement in this topic. I'll release Amiga Lemmings soon in the spirit of finishing projects I've started, and I'll make it very clear that they aren't meant to be NeoLemmix-approved versions of the levels, simply direct conversions with restored graphics.

Thanks,

So I appreciate the idea of saving space by combining the two buttons, but I'm not too sure on whether it's wise to not have a "play" button.

5 cards could still be put in a single-row formation, which would probably be my preference if keeping the current general menu aesthetic. I'd suggest (not necessarily in this order):

PLAY (F1) / LEVEL SELECT (F2) / OPTIONS (F3) / REPLAY (F4) / RANK (UP/DOWN)

I'm also open to the idea of a complete redesign, given that NeoLemmix is very much its own engine now, and perhaps should make this point right away in the menu screen, like Lix does.

I'd go so far as to suggest a higher resolution menu as well (happy to volunteer to create graphics if needs be).

Also, I'd rather the replay button just directly launch the file browser for you to select a replay file.

Fair enough, although maybe the replay browser could be customised to include a Mass Replay check button/general replay options.

Can replay files be configured to load the correct level as well, or does the order have to be load level>load replay?

@Minim - I think Proxima is currently preparing a conversion for Challenge purposes. It's probably worth waiting for these, as they will likely feature some restoration of the decorative terrain.

This is a good idea, has there been any further development of this?

Thanks for the kind comment NieSch, and for the hint! I will have another at the level sometime, for sure.
