OK, so... it turns out that this one is an issue with the latest Java version(s). I updated mine and immediately started seeing the effects reported in the OP.

Since issues with Java are very much out of our control, the best option here is simply to build our own custom menu items for which we can specify the exact layout ourselves. It wouldn't be the first time the Lemmini codebase has resorted to this!

A relatively easy and enjoyable fix, in the end. Here's how the menu looks now, built with the latest Java version:



Fixed in RLPlayer commits 0294a79 and eaa6350.
Updated to Java 26 in RLPlayer commit 1135d54.

I can see the merits of both ideas tbh.

A single replay keeps the feature neat, and focuses it on the level currently being worked on.

Multiple replays (one per level) does mean that a 'solution replay' is essentially being generated and stored per-level. This can be used to track later backroute fixes, and will no doubt come in handy if the author has forgotten the solution to their own level (I have done this a number of times!)

It could be confusing for a player to playtest a level and see that a replay has been loaded, though.

Feedback welcome.

Quote from: Simon on July 24, 2026, 05:50:24 AMDo you think you want the option (to preserve garbage) for yourself still after you make airclick replay cutting optional?

Most likely: no.

The more I think about it, and get feedback from other users, the more I realise that the most likely thing people will want/expect is for their clicks to cancel future actions, at least to the same lemming. I think I also expect the same, and begin to agree that future assignments to the same lemming are most likely unwanted garbage.

More sleep, time and feedback needed on this one.

I think namida's suggestion would mean there is a replay file saved somewhere for each level created with the editor.

Actually I do not think this is necessary. The main idea was to have the replay loaded when one quits playtesting a level, makes some changes in the editor, and then comes back playtesting the level again.

This is just to spare the time of playing the level again and again when spending a long time creating it. But I see no need to have a replay autoloaded when I edit a level I worked on some days/months/years ago.

So yes, I think a single .nxrp file which vanishes whenever I close the editor or load another level is enough for my needs ; that is unless another level designer thinks otherwise.

No worries, thanks for reporting. I can't replicate this on my system, even if I change the screen res and/or scale, the menu icons and text appear like this:



Just in case it could be the issue, please try changing your screen res and/or scale (Windows / Settings / System > Display > Scale & layout). Does this fix the problem?

Are you on Windows 10 or 11?

Is anybody else seeing the issue described in the OP on their system?

And now the builder is eliminated for Classic 10, making the result for that level none.

Screenshots are attached, although they don't begin to describe how difficult this was to pull off.  An insane amount of luck was involved to get the timing to work out right in order to pull off two rapid-fire pixel-precise skill assignments.  The screenshots should explain the general idea of the solution; the spoiler contains the details how the key precision moves are executed.

Spoiler

A lemming needs to block on the "step" at the end of a basher's tunnel right after he starts his next stroke (Screenshot 1).  If done properly, the blocker will turn the basher mid-stroke, making him leave a stairway the crowd can ascend.  Then there's the issue of removing the blocker, which requires a perfectly-placed lemming to bash such that he (1) releases the blocker and (2) does not mess up the stairway created earlier (Screenshot 2).  The end result is shown in Screenshot 3.

Ignore the fact that two blockers were used in the screenshots; only one is needed.  My first attempt to stop the basher failed, and the blocker was released by the basher's next stroke.

BTW I was really want Patch some backroutes few those Step 5 Levels. But i simply cannot make it. How ever those levels seems just super hard even backroutes used. So i´ll have to allow those backroutes my 1.01 version. That most reason, because my intention solution contains some super special advance tricks, which are really hard figured out and very rare used any packs.

I´ll list few levels. Which allow you use alternate route, because i cannot patch those ones.

Some Secret Reveal

Step 5 Level 9 Fiery Cells. My solution is very unique and contains very rare trick, but i have to allow IchoTolot alternate solution, which is also very genius, but still clearly backroute.

Step 5 Level 15 Scorching Terminal. My solution contains few super advance tricks, but i cannot patch those ones, so you can beat this level in future just at least two very different ways, used my route or IchoTolot route, both is very genius ones.

Step 5 Level 18 Stairways to heaven, very rare trick i used my intention solution is impossible to forced used. Plodderuk did very nice alternate solution and i´ll keep it, its less complicated than my own one, but much intention elements is still here and there.

Good Luck to 1.01 Version my pack. Its improvement a lot   Have to say Oh Yeah More Lemmings is sure my best pack i ever maded. Its very complicated and very retro style. Expect theme levels. There is no buttons, pick up things. Its just pure retro lemmings skills. Backroutes will be allowed if i cannot fix those used normal ways.

Only a very minor thing, but worth mentioning I think. The menu items have the function keys cut off slightly, too close to the rightr hand edge. Yes I know I have OCD!

may just be me, I'm on 3.2 with latest java run time installed.

Nice Job Plodderuk your progress my pack. 1.01 Version is finally ready. I´ll post with this post and my main post.

Several Backroutes are patched and some new talismans added (There is a lot talismans in Step 1) But no much other difficult.

I´ll post New Differences my main post and under spoiler tags.

Really looking forward to it

Going by the last 2 meetups, we met up in Leeds train station around 11-11.30am. The first meet up ended around 6-7pm, the second meet up went on a bit longer and it ended around 8.30-9pm. People are free to leave earlier if they need to, we try and accommodate it. Usually those who come on the train tend to have flexible train tickets and can return on any train during the day.

Going to the Liverpool one is entirely optional though, don't feel like you have to attend both
