I will probably get around making the pack and starting the playing phase the coming weekend.

Let's say, I also would really be in favor of the swimmer splash and the zombie signal being turned down a bit

Is this on 12.12.5 or the new-objects exp (or both)?

Both.

Can you also confirm - does the setting:
a) get applied correctly, ie: if you enter this setting, then immediately play a level and save a replay, does it use your setting?

Yes.

b) get preserved between sessions, ie: if you enter this setting, then exit and re-start NL (without going into the config menu), then play a level and save a replay, does it use your setting?

Yes, and the setting is remembered after closing and re-opening NL multiple times.

After some investigation, it seems that going to the config menu, changing something (anything), and then pressing "Apply" reverts the Auto-Save option to "Position + Timestamp."

I've also noticed another issue whilst testing this: NeoLemmix always loads the last level played when starting up, even if the level was completed successfully. Perhaps it should load the next non-completed level? I don't know if this is a bug or whether the behaviour is intended, I just thought I'd mention it in case it's unintended behaviour.

(If it is indeed a bug, then I'll start a new topic for it).

would it be possible for the skill select button sounds to also increase/decrease in pitch when scrolling left and right

This one is not going to happen. While the underlying audio library probably has support for such a feature, the code NL uses to manage / play sounds does not, and that'd be a major thing to add at this point

Fair enough. Are we still on for potentially adding sound to the release rate button though?

A simple "silent buttons" checkbox in F2 could turn all button sounds on and off, for those that prefer no sound. The audio feedback from buttons is important for real-time play, speedrunning, and it's just in keeping with the audio feedback elsewhere in the engine.

At some point before NL gets finalised, I will absolutely take part in making sure that all sounds in NL are the best quality, and the correct volume in relation to one another, as per this topic that I started ages ago.

Thank you! I hope it really is that simple. It wouldn't surprise me if that was the case. I am, after all, a bit of an idiot.
