Oh well, can I actually express my ocd here ?

Why is that indentation wrong on the result screen ? The "you needed" line is not properly aligned with the 2 others as it used to be in NL and the games of my childhood. My eyes and heart hurt every time...

Thank you, IchoTolot!  (Does your username mean something?  Languages always interest me.)  I'm VERY pleased with Lix and I'd rather stay with it, learning slowly, than try a new game.  I really admire how very easy Lix is for a newbie to use and enjoy.  The growth since my ancient Lemmings game is amazing.


I seem to have messed up the multi-element quoting but another quick reply: I would never dream of "suggesting" anything to Simon.    In current American idiom, "suggesting" carries an implication that the person doing the suggesting, is relatively as smart and/or capable as the person to whom the suggestion is aimed.

I am, my helpful friend, MUCH less a person to "suggest" as to say "absolute newbie with a question."  ;-)

Again, I note that IMO a real strength of Lix is that there is such a helpful and welcoming online community.  I appreciate it!   --ken ac4rd

Here are my solutions for BadLems.

Overall I'd say it is a nice pack with moderate difficulty, and a lot of open ended levels. Clearing it did not take me too long, and I recognized many tricks you can learn while playing the NL Introduction Pack by Icho.

If I had to guess I'd say that you played the NL Introduction Pack prior to making this one LemFan ?

Thanks for fixing the pack jkapp76! Sorry I didn't pay attention to the IDs when making the levels back in 2021. At least someone FINALLY did the job!

Try This version. It might have the levels fixed. I believe I have all of his packs updated correctly somwehere.

QuoteI do have one further question which may well be possible but I've found only one crude way to do it.   I'd like to randomize a walking string of Lixies to go either up/down or left/right (and pseudorandomized is fine).   The one way I've found to do this is let a string of Lixes into a moderately wide pit.  They begin walking back and forth, moving either east or west depending on the last wall they bumped off.

The closet thing that comes to my mind in that reagard would be the splitter object in NeoLemmix (another game engine). These alternate between sending Lemmings left and right.

In Lix I think you would need to build custom contraptions, or maybe stack two entrances on top of each other with one spawning left and one right.

QuoteEven if it limited me to one entrance hatch, is there a way to pre-assign skills?

This would be a great thing to suggest as a feature! 

NeoLemmix has the ability to let hatches assign permanent skills to all Lemmings spawned from it.
This could be a good feature for Lix as well! ~wink at Simon~ 

Hey @Guigui!

I also noticed this when playing through BadLems. I didn't know what the reason for it was until now, reading Proxima's explanation, but didn't really bother about it - just figured it was some kind of glitch with the pack! I haven't encountered the same problem with any other LemFan pack that I can recall. There was a different issue with a couple of the really early packs (Pack 2 and Pack 3 I think), where every level file was put into a separate sub-folder, rather than having multiple nxlv files in a single rank folder with a levels.nxmi file to organize them.

Quote from: Guigui on January 30, 2026, 11:26:29 PMBut do you sleep sometimes ?

Like a cat! I get about 9 hours per day on average

I spend a lot more time indoors during the winter so generally have more laptop time. Plus, I work very fast and I use AI to help with a lot of it. Programming is my favourite thing to do at the moment, the problem solving is basically addictive.

Thanks for your concern, though

Finally managed to get a clean refactor of this feature (in commit d5bbf0e).

Rather than parsing the level and replay files to match IDs and hack-load the level that way (yuck!), the existing ID matching logic in the mass replay check (thanks, namida!) has been harnessed to grab the correct level object from the already-loaded library.

We still handle multiple matches by displaying a list and letting the user select the correct level to load. No more uninitialized level object warnings , all good to go!
