Good work. I have optimised the floaters and RR to improve that time to 2:04.47.

This may be opening the floodgates, but I have released solutions to the NeoLemmix Introduction Pack at the top of this thread. Good luck with these!

Right. See how well I can learn the rules, although I think they need some clarifying first:
* Because we're adding times, I think this link is better, as this calculates the date AND time.
* People live in different time zones, and every user's forum clock in this forum can be adjusted. E.G. Because I live in the U.K., I use BST. For my sake I'll be submitting the timestamp and timezone. But what would everybody else rather do? Copy what I do, or try and calculate their times to match UTC?

"I pushed the button" at 9:57:48 AM BST

Edit: Added 48 seconds to my timestamp. So the duration is 1 day, 7 hours, 54 minutes and 42 seconds. Is that better?

It's important to be aware that, unlike the original games, [NeoLemmix] packs may be updated by their creators/compilers at any time. To make things run more smoothly, if you have any records to share, please observe the following protocol:

* Refer to levels by name, not just position! Records without level names will not be added to the opening post.

This singular rule has inspired me to come up with a proposal. Currently all Smileys have Tooltip Text when hovered over (Like this one, ). However, by surrounding the Level's Number or Name in Tooltip Text (TT), users can just hover over the level with the mouse and find out information about this level instantly via a Hint Box.

For example, if a user writes Mayhem 1 in TT (say it's something like [t]Mayhem 1[/t]), a box will show that the level is named "Steel Works", the platform is from Amiga and that the game's from Original Lemmings. As another example, NeoLemmix's Redux pack has a level called "Save Me". This could be written like [t=nl]Save Me[/t] with "[t=nl]" being a NeoLemmix version of the level. Or we could sort it out by difficulty rating, in other words [t=lr5]Save Me[/t] meaning this level is from Redux in the Lunatic difficulty rating, the fifth rating in the pack. Whichever way, the help box would come up with information like "NeoLemmix, Lemmings Redux, Lunatic 29, Save Me".

The majority of users (if not all users) in Challenges refer to a certain level as the level's number. Sometimes the rank is used alongside it. We prefer doing it this way because it's a natural habit of us to cut tedium. Adding TT to them would eliminate all the potential questions that new users (and old) could ask about.

The hard part I guess is how (and whether) TT can be implemented into the forums. We may also need to come up with a TT icon that shouldn't be too similar to Teletype, the existing one that uses the ["tt"] function. Another question is how should it look in the preview, One of my suggestions is a superscripted Question Mark on the right side of the level's number, etc. Finally the possibility of a printer friendly version of it? As that last bit is unlikely to happen though, we could make a level list on a separate thread for people to print.

If TT implementation is successful, I'll see if I could apply this to the Challenge board of the Original Lemmings games first, because at least they're guaranteed to be unchanged. Once we're confident with that then we can try other things. Anything that needs clarifying please let me know. Thanks.

Hey, thanks! I felt a rush of excitement as soon as I saw that too.

Good job fixing the two backroutes. Looking at these level fixes it seems like I'm doing the first bit correctly but not the second bit. I'm still able to find a solution though. I thought it was impossible to execute at first, until I realised something about the floater. Delaying it to maintain crowd control really makes that second statement in the pre-text a bigger reality now. I hope this solution is intended...

New (and my affected) replays attached. 12 in total.

So, I have tried and tested this challenge a few times on long levels. Here's my verdict:

The main skill involved in speeding up long levels is the jumper. The speed the jumper gains is amazing, however, a jumper only counts for one lemming, not everybody. Also, a jumper hits the ceiling very frequently, wasting a skill. So to make up for the one lemming closing in on the exit, you need cloners; and to an extent, falling stoners and bombers/miners for quick terrain creation/removal respectively. If the pack cannot simply walk through the hero's route to the exit in time, for example in "The Steel Mines of Kessel" and "Save Me", you'll need to click the cloner x number of times to meet the requirement. Some might say the cloner creates embarrassingly high-numbered results that one would constantly look to improve. "The race against clichés" is hands down the worst example. I needed over 100 extra skills (so far) to navigate the fluctuating terrain quickly enough to get them home in a single minute. I did find "Catch More Floaters" quite fun because it had a splat start and a platform that could be reached with a few skills, but otherwise if we're planning to add skills, it's pretty much going to involve the four skills mentioned above.

I have a list of results for some levels, but no more than that. I'm sorry, but I can't continue given the reasoning above. I hope everything I've written is clear. Thanks.

Thanks, Proxima. I agree that Redux should be listed first.

Also, as you mentioned Original Lemmings, I noticed that you've sorted out that level pack ready for challenges again!
