Just to update the thread, I'm now picking up and dropping off hrb264 before and after the meetup.

Hopefully we won't be late arriving in Leeds but we'll have to be going about 5.30pm to make her train from Nottingham.

Looking forward to it, it's going to be a great day 

Sent you a DM. I think getting the train to Nottingham could work. It's so much cheaper!

Meetup is potentially from 11:30am-6pm depending on how the day goes.

Ooh let me see if i can get a coach there

Hey so I'm trying to book my ticket to Leeds now, and the prices are extortionate I am thinking of getting a bus instead as its so much cheaper but it's a 5 hour trip each way how long is the meetup either way and is anyone coming from down south / Oxford way who could give me a lift?

I usually achieve this by forcing the a lemming into the wall using a blocker, so that the first digger starts a couple of pixels farther right, but that relies on the glitchy DOS physics.  Apparently a solution exists only using 3 of the 4 blockers, but I've never pulled that off, so I'm not sure if it's any less glitchy.

Okay thanks. So its not possible in NeoLemmix then, if you use a blocker to wedge a lemming into the wall it will still be one pixel too far left. I just fired up the DOS version, the first digger digs one pixel to the right compared to NeoLemmix

In the interests of keeping the original levels readily available for all new users, CE will ship with this version of the compilation from now on.

I'll send some updates to Proxima for review in due course, ensuring that the following have been done:

1) Restore Call in the Bomb Squad and Save Me decorative terrain
2) Special windows/exits for A Beast of a Level and co.
3) Add numbering to the .nxlv files
4) Include the edited version of PoP YoR ToP!!! from my previous post (above)

Pending approval from Proxima, I'll ship this version with the next CE update.

This is probably the cleanest way to do it for panel characters/icons.

I've now reverted 'panel_font.png' and 'panel_icons.png' to their NL 12.14 counterparts. Custom .pngs will load exactly as before.

Meanwhile, the new characters are included in a new 'ce-panel_chars.png' sheet, which will ship with CE.

Fixed in NLCEPlayer commit 9a6c403.

Quote from: WillLem on August 08, 2026, 06:32:40 PMI can't think of a sensible way to deal with this engine-side tbh. CE could perhaps see if the target .png is the same width as the one it expects, and - if it isn't - load the default instead. There might be a better way.

Keep new (non-12.14) characters in a seperate file - or at least, strictly at the end of the file. Apply the fallback-to-default seperately for the original and new characters (if using "at the end": compare number of characters, load missing ones from default file).
