Thank you

Quote from: gag2000 on March 18, 2026, 05:42:09 AMHello, im using RetroLemmini, if I want to add Direct drop to the original Levels like it was in Windows 95 version what is the best way to do it?

Or is it required to edit each level one by one with the level editor? Thanks.

At present, DD can either be applied per-level or be toggled on/off using Alt + E ("Max Exit Physics" mode). If using the latter, the level won't count as being completed and records won't be saved, since it's considered a "cheat" mode if the level designer hasn't explicitly set it.

We could have an option to apply it globally, but - like optional Timed Bombers - this would be something that would need to be written into replays to prevent breakage when sharing replays with other users. Not out of the question, but more of a long-term possibility than a quick fix.

In the meantime, I've attached a RetroLemmini-ready copy of Lemmings and Oh No! More Lemmings with Direct Drop enabled. Enjoy!

EDIT: Attachment removed. RetroLemmini now has a global Direct Drop option as of 2.9.2

Hey @Tigerfront, welcome to the forum!

Cool level! Quite a tricky one, mainly due to the tight time limit, which forces you to make the best use of your resources. A nicely designed level I'd say Attached my replay. I don't think I backrouted it, since I did use all the skills, but you never know!

I just wanted to update everyone that I am working closely with kaywhyn to fix up Nuisance level 19 - The Aquatic Ruins. There should have been only one intended solution, but our testing team did, indeed, find a backroute. I appreciate the find! So this particular level is going to be a bit different in the next release.

Yes, that's right, next release. The v2.0 level pack will have a 'third' rank added onto it called "bothersome" as originally planned.

Stay lemtastic!

Hi everybody,
a few years ago, I tried to create a NeoLemmix level. I personally don't believe it's all that amazing but it felt sad that it existed only on my PC, so I'm sending it here on the forum. Maybe someone will enjoy it.

I'm glad the community here is still thriving and thank you everybody for keeping the possibility to sometimes play this beautiful game!

Version 2.9.1 hotfix update

Fixed a few bugs, and further improved error handling.

'Choose Level' Dialog

• Added a "Get More Music" button which links to the download post here.
• Bugfix - opening the dialog via "Choose Level" (from either the main menu button or the menu bar) once again functions correctly when opening via a level from a fully-completed pack, as does selecting a fully-completed pack within the dialog itself.

Improved Error Handling

• Indexing errors for terrain pieces have been fixed by removing the need to manually index terrain pieces in the style's .ini - we now count the number of terrain pieces per-style (on loading a level) and cache the result per-session. This way, the terrain indices are guaranteed to always be up to date. When RetroLemmini development eventually settles down, it may be best to revert to manually setting the index in the .ini, but for now the count-and-cache fix definitely seems like the best approach whilst styles are regularly being added and updated.

• If a music resource is missing for the current level, rather than displaying a popup and playing no music at all, we now show the title of the missing music in the window caption, and play a random track from the default rotation. If silence is preferred here in order to bring the user's attention to the missing resource, we can always revert to playing no music (or, we could make this optional in Settings).

A reminder of what's new as of 2.6.

Brilliant, thanks for doing this!

Quote from: kaywhyn on March 17, 2026, 10:46:30 AMFor both the pack and the music, all you have to do is extract to your RetroLemmini directory. Everything will fall into place. Yea, I'm one of those people who likes to make extraction for people as simple as possible

That's great, but some people (myself included) prefer to handle extracting compressed files manually. Extracting directly to a folder can overwrite existing content in that folder, which isn't always desirable. Also, if for some reason the wrong target folder is selected or the .rar/.zip structure is incorrect (which can very easily happen by accident), the user can end up with a huge mess that they have to clear up manually (this only needed to happen to me once for me to never want to extract directly to a target folder ever again!)

Anyways, it's a good thing to provide the .rar/.zip in a directly-extractable format, and of course I realise you've carefully set up the .rar to extract correctly, so thanks again for doing that. Users can always handle it however they wish at their end.

Music Catalog

Click the link below to download all available music for the level packs included* with RetroLemmini:

Download Music for RetroLemmini.

To install, simply extract the .zip to RetroLemmini/resources/music.

*For all other level packs, authors are required to provide the music along with the pack. If the music is missing, please post in the level pack's topic.

Please also note that, as of RetroLemmini 2.9.1, music now falls back to default rotation in the event of missing music resources, and a "missing music" message is displayed in the window caption (rather than a popup message being displayed and no music playing for the level at all).

We now count (and cache) the terrain pieces for each style, guaranteeing that the index is always up to date.

Implemented in RLPlayer commit 08996a9.
