NeoLemmix Levels / Re: [V5] Sweet 'N' Sour Lemmin...
Last post by The Tomato Watcher - December 23, 2025, 08:04:47 PM
Apologies for the silence, but I very much appreciate the feedback (and the playthrough). :)

Just got around to releasing another version. Hopefully any backroutes are at least somewhat minor now. :P

The affected levels are Sour 2 (Sweet 3) and Sour 5 (Sweet 2).

Level Design / Re: Immediate turn-offs

Quote from: Dullstar on April 03, 2020, 03:35:33 AMIt's not a total turn-off, but a minor pet peeve of mine is levels where a bunch of lemmings die in vain. Bombers are a useful destructive skill that can often justify the loss of the lemming, and sometimes a lemming performs a task but can't turn around to save itself because the skills necessary to do that would create backroutes. But then there's levels where you lose a bunch of lemmings off a cliff simply because they slip through gaps before they can be closed, and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it.

Examples from original game: From the Boundary Line, Pillars of Hercules, Poor Wee Creatures, Cascade intended solution (the 100% one seems pretty frame precise and I suspect it wasn't intended, though it wouldn't surprise me if the devs were at least aware of it based on the skillset)
I agree, it's kinda sad :(

Game Bugs & Suggestions / Re: [BUG][PL] Full Screen Bug ...

Quote from: Flopsy on December 22, 2025, 06:30:18 PMWhen I start the player, the full screen is off a bit of pixels to the top and left of the screen and it is displaying the desktop in this space.

This one I can't replicate unfortunately. Is anyone else seeing this?

The most likely cause is that I'm building NLCE using Delphi 10.4.2. Namida previously updated to Delphi 11 and fixed a fullscreen-related bug, the code for which is definitely included in CE's base. It's possible that the rollback to 10.4.2 could be causing the issue you're seeing. For RC-1, I'll undo the bugfix and see if that corrects the issue. If it does, then I'll consider upgrading to Delphi 11 (and reinstating the fix).

EDIT - Reverted commit f9a20dd in commit 36181c2.

Quote from: Flopsy on December 22, 2025, 06:30:18 PMI've also noticed the lemmings icons are overlapping the text underneath showing the pack name and author.

This one's fixed (commit 01bc9c0), thanks for reporting.

Quote from: hrb264 on December 22, 2025, 04:22:44 PMHow do you use the arrow keys? ... I never knew you could choose the exact lemming :)

When you hover over a group of lemmings with the cursor, you can use the left and right arrow keys to select a lemming facing in that direction. Great for isolating a left/right-facing lemming from within a crowd, but also useful for any situation when you need to make sure that the lemming you assign a skill to is facing a certain way.

Well done! Keep going :lemcat:

Quote from: kaywhyn on December 22, 2025, 02:26:28 PMI had a Lemming step up and dug down the structures at the far side first before building ... using them to gain a bit of extra height ;)

Nice!

Here's kaywhyn's solution in action on WinLemm. The key to the digger assignments is to use the arrow keys to make sure the lemming is facing the correct direction. From there, the solution is reasonably straightforward, and saves 100% which is always good :)

So I've tried the suggestion and I've managed to save 1 more lemming so I'm on 67% lol ... I thought I had got it, but the builder doesn't quite go high enough in the left entrance to be able to build onto the bridge :(

Game Bugs & Suggestions / [BUG][PL] Full Screen Bug when...
Last post by Flopsy - December 22, 2025, 06:30:18 PM
Ok so I started a new series on my channel recently and I've had this bug occurring for a while since I downloaded the latest version of the player a few days ago and I thought as I got the bug replicating on video, I'll post this topic.

When I start the player, the full screen is off a bit of pixels to the top and left of the screen and it is displaying the desktop in this space. I show this on the video but I can fix this by turning off Full screen in the settings and press ok so it goes to windowed mode then I revert the setting back to full screen and press ok again.

Skip to 3:18 in the video to see this.

Possibly unrelated but I've also noticed the lemmings icons are overlapping the text underneath showing the pack name and author.

I'm on Windows 11 running 1.0.1 of NeoLemmix CE.
When I installed, I installed in a fresh folder but I did copy my settings files (hotkeys.ini, settings.ini, styletimes.ini) from NeoLemmix 12.14. I also copied over the music, sound, level folders but I let the styles download using the styles manager.
I do operate a 2 monitor screen set up also and NL CE loads on my primary screen.

I asked chat gpt about lemmings and it had absolutely no clue at all.

Thanks. How do you use the arrow keys? The version I have seems super imprecise. I never knew you could choose the exact lemming :)
