mine has been updated but it wont matter anyway cos you didnt use the thing i had to block anyway. I really enjoyed watching someone play my level though I would say you way over complicated that
Blocking off the way up to the top by sealing the one-pixel corridors with a builder, rather than building a splatform.
It's also surprising how much building you need to make the splatform safe, you pretty much almost have to start building as soon as the lemming finishes falling down the cliff, or your splatform apparently won't be quite high enough to stop the splatting.
if people actually want to include that level in Redux and yet you're really bothered by the seal-the-corridor route, you could consider changing save requirement to 100% so that the splatform must be done.
- Take A Running Jump; I do like this level but backroutes are an issue. It would need significant changes to eliminate a certain well-known backroute.

Lix doesn't cut your pineapple into slices.
I'm happy with redesigning end-of-level. I still doubt that an unlocking system will pull enough weight to warrant the effort.
Unless you're trying to get everyone through a fast triggered trap, that's probably good enough... If you really need perfect clustering, how about... set the RR in such a way that it happens automatically?
Why use a version with some edits? Because that feels right to me. The terrain under the moss was intended to be indestructible.
I'm almost of the mind that maybe we can create an "extra" rank or similar in the "conversion packs", for the levels that end up having reasonable small edits, the extra rank containing all the random alternate version that don't have such edits and therefore look slightly closer to the original, but may play a bit too differently from the original due to things like moss on steel. The title can be modified to prefix with "Extra" or whatever so there's no confusion with the other version left under the original ranks under the original title. The players will understand the oddball nature of this rank and can do as they see fit
I agree that the official game conversions should be maintained, but I question why we are now considering redoing them. There are already official game conversions - why not just maintain those?
Yes, there are differences in the NeoLemmix versions as a result of the engine changes NeoLemmix makes. But if those are an issue, you can still play vanilla Lemmix.
Traps have secondary animations.
If you feel that "edited to suit the engine" destroys their authentic status, then that's a reason not to have the conversion: Because it can never be authentic.
which is more authentic -- preserving the level data or preserving the underlying gameplay?
From the point of view of challenges, Redux and the original levels are separate packs, and neither is "official" (which has no meaning in this context). I am interested in maintaining a version of the original levels, both because I am interested in results from levels that aren't included in Redux, and for the sake of the "original levels with new skills" challenge.
This, along with Frenzy, objectively has the least potential when looked at from an NL point of view. You cannot make any puzzle using these that cannot be made without them; all they do is make your puzzle more difficult to execute.
It also strikes me as very ironic that you claim this one, which does not actually change anything other than how fast the game runs, as having "great potential" when you've dismissed several that really do have a lot of potential.
And I'll also stress again that in general, new content should not be made for old versions in the first place.
At this point, version 1.43 is so vastly different from New Formats in so many ways that I almost consider it a different engine rather than an old version of NeoLemmix
This impression is amplified to me by your apparent enthusiasm about the Clock gimmick... I think by now you've noticed that the word "random" triggers something close to an instant allergic reaction in most NeoLemmix players...
maybe @WillLem it would be a good idea for you to start designing a small gimmick pack by yourself?
As I've said before, the purpose of the Challenges board is twofold -- to have fun challenging each other and solving each other's challenges; and also to keep records of the best possible results achievable on various challenges. For that purpose, the levels need to be authentic.
I fixed the links in my previous posts.
I also ripped the "demo" and "bookclub" levels, but I can't recall if there were any differences:
