Lemmings Main / Re: Lemmings I - The Original ...
Last post by namida - February 05, 2026, 04:43:19 AMMy votes would go to "Every Lemming For Himself", "Upside Down World", "How Do I Dig Up The Way?", "The Far Side" and "The Steel Mines Of Kessel". Maybe at a stretch, "One Way Or Another" too.
And I guess, not on level quality but simply how iconic it is, "Just Dig" has to be in there too.

Lemmings Main / Re: Lemmings I - The Original ...
Last post by Ron_Stard - February 05, 2026, 02:48:11 AMThe rest of the
DIRT TRIBE CANDIDATES
(from the official games):
Sega Mega Drive/Genesis
Sony PSP
Amiga Book Club
With the rest of the official DOS/Amiga levels,
we have 41 candidates for, in principle, 12 Dirt Tribe levels. Or maybe more, if we combine Snow and Xmas tribes.
So let's begin. Should I post a poll in another thread to choose which of these 41 levels we should select for the Dirt Tribe? And then move into the next tribe.
(On another note, I am writing a little of ficticious information and history for this and the rest of the tribes, in order to give them a little background. Hope you like it, I'll post it soon

Editor Bugs & Suggestions / Re: [+][SUG][ED] Start up Pref...
Last post by WillLem - February 04, 2026, 11:14:49 PMAdded a 'Random' button to the piece browser (commit d9a7e67), next to the styles dropdown (with an option to hide it if preferred) which randomizes the piece style when clicked. Also added the option to add certain styles to the randomizer in the Style Manager, so that it will only cycle through certain chosen styles. If none are chosen, it will cycle through all styles.
The button is hidden by default, but maybe it shouldn't be. We can decide this later.
EDIT: Also refactored the settings that were being saved internally (rather than to the .ini) - all settings are now external, so get saved to the settings file rather than wherever Windows likes to put stuff. This should help with migration between versions. Commit 99949ed
That just leaves level templates. This is something I've considered previously and could certainly be done, but I wonder what the best UI for it would be. A button on the Globals tab that opens a template picker? A dropdown with all the available templates listed (selecting one applies it)? Load default template at startup is a given.

NeoLemmix Levels / Re: New Level Pack - Lemmings ...
Last post by 92Dexter11 - February 04, 2026, 03:45:50 PMHi Plodderuk, I'm glad you enjoyed my pack, thank you for your response and replays!
Here are the solutions I have the most to say about:
Shantytown - I'm surprised that you managed to find yet another solution for this level - I really didn't expect this level to have so many unique solutions due to its very limited skillset. It was quite fun to watch!
Vive La Revolution - Damn, another solution in which the zombies don't get guillotined... Well done - your solution of using the laserer to cause the zombies to drown was really creative!
Long Shot - Both of your solutions differ from what I had intended, especially the first one. Great job for finding these, I thought for certain that the talisman solution for this one was completely airtight!
Pumping Station - This one was made by my brother. Your solution differs heavily from the intended one, but it's quite ingenious! Very well done!
Pushing Up Daisies -
Both your solutions here are seriously impressive, let me try to explain. The solutions that you did here are very similar to what the original talisman solution was going to be - relying on precise timing to get the lemmings to fall off the side of the platforms to hit the switch. I changed it in the final version, adding shimmiers so the player wouldn't be reliant on timing. The fact that one of your solutions managed to do it without using shimmiers is mindblowing, well done!
Dragon's Nest - Another one by my brother. This one was very fun to watch due to your unique solution.
Ring of Fire - Your solution differs quite heavily from what I intended, but all of these levels are designed to be somewhat open ended. Well done for finding this solution!

I guess: When there is more than one game executable, the editor should give you a choice between them for playtesting ... Multiple game executables can happen at minimum when you exctract CE into namida's tree.
Ah, I see.
Yes, we can add this for sure.

Last post by Simon - February 04, 2026, 05:49:12 AMQuote from: WillLem on February 04, 2026, 05:41:14 AMQuotePlayer:if more than one player is in the NeoLemmix folder (however it'll only detect Legacy and Community NL for this editor) you can choose between which is played, this will be greyed out if only one compatible player is in the folderI can't quite decipher what you mean here.
I guess: When there is more than one game executable, the editor should allow to choose between them for playtesting. No choice (greyed out or choose-1-out-of-1) when the editor finds only a single game executable. The editor should only count CE and namida's NL as game executables.
namida and Eric called the game a player (edit with the editor, play with the player). Multiple game executables can happen at minimum when you exctract CE into namida's tree.
