@IchoTolot
The topic you linked only has a list of the names of those on 1st, 2nd and 3rd for all the contests. While that is interesting information it doesn't actually contain links to the levels, so therefore is information I'd get from manually searching through these constests.
So I tried doing that, and for 2015 for example all I got was dead dropbox links.
I then tried to continue searching and hit the sites max search spam protection limit.

So even if I wanted to go through the individual years, I couldn't
Quick note outside of the planned showcase, maybe these old ones should be uploaded somewhere for sake of preservation.

Just gave it a go and I'm really interested in the playback mode feature. I can't quite get it to work sadly. EDIT: Got it to work. Will be very helpful for a showcase.
@Simon @WillLem @IchoTolot
Any levels you particularly liked that you've seen or made?

Quote from: namida on June 23, 2026, 06:35:46 AMOh wow. Yeah, I can see why it was cancelled. I honestly would've thought that was something a (very young) fan made up as "fanon" if it weren't for the video links, especially with some of those skills!
yikes
if youd like to pitch in you can
if you have any issues with the formatting you can change it
one day we can compile all the info we have and turn it into a compactn't script and dump it on tomato because they are the only one that makes edited lemmings videos that show more then gameplay

I would like to learn Proxima's reason for why he prefers darker lemmings. I know that lemmings at (0x80, 0x80, 0xFF) become similarly light as the earth (some light grey). Is the lemming-to-earth contrast your reason?

When I know more, I can start recommending better defaults for the CPM color config file.

The meaning of the bool option is: Ignore what's configured in the dedicated CPM options file, and use this prefixed configuration that you can't choose by editing that file. That leads to the idea: Ditch the option and instead make "cycling" a keyword that can appear directly in the CPM color config file. After all, the behavior is either-or, and now the way to configure it will be clearly either-or, too, not a product of 1. bool, 2. color. You can print comments into the file to explain "cycling".

If you keep the bool option nonetheless, consider to default it to no color-cycling. Reason: That's most helpful for new users who won't look into the options. WillLem can then activate the option for his cycling.

I still think that the CPM color config file should go into user/.

Should I make 3 fresh topics for these 3 sub-issues (default colors, how to choose cycling, location of the config file)?

Physics are exactly identical between vanilla NL and CE (NeoLemmix Community Edition). The point of CE is purely UI fixes. It is a drop-in replacement.

Vanilla NL still has the egregious zoom bug: Instead of zooming into where the cursor is, the map jumps away from the cursor position into unrelated areas. This kills the mood in livestreaming and live showcasing. Reason: You'll often zoom deep into local areas, explain something to the audience, then zoom out for the big picture. CE zooms into the cursor as you expect, i.e., it preserves both mouse-on-land and mouse-on-screen.

Submit NeoLemmix and play with CE (not with vanilla NL). :D

Thanks for the input so far!

I wanted to avoid pre-existing collections since the always come with the cutoff of the time they were created in.
Also, it's going to be difficult to find things that specifically fit into the categories I'm looking for.
Unless there's a collection for "best levels with only the 10 vanilla jobs", that's going to be tough to fill, so I was hoping for individual responses here of things that were memorable.
I'll check them out for the third category though.

@WillLem happy to give the CE a try, but can't guarantee that I'll present the fork.
I saw your run of the Mayhem levels, do you still have the replays for that?

Other players than myself are probably better off picking levels as my taste in levels is not the most popular!

All I would request is that you consider using NeoLemmix Community Edition for your showcase, as this would be a great opportunity to present/test some of the upgraded UI features (many of which I imagine would be particularly useful for speedrunning*), and potentially expand the player base.

Best of luck with the showcase, I look forward to watching your runs!

Will :lemcat:

*Some examples:

• Mouse wheel framestepping
• Panel button specific hotkeys
• Nudge viewport hotkeys

I am not a Speedrun junkie, but for point 2 and 3 of your list my initial thought is: https://www.lemmingsforums.net/index.php?topic=6062.0

Just take a look at the top 3 levels from the all the previuos "Level of the Year" contests and pick your favorites!

There you should get a better overview than just one or two people telling you some favorites!  ;)

If you need replays for those levels, look at YouTube or ask the authors directly.

If you want levels directly tuned for difficulty I would hint at the last ranks of Lemmings Uncharted, Lemmings Destination, NepsterLems and Lemmings United.

Lemmings Main / NeoLemmix Community Showcase a...
Last post by darkshoxx - June 27, 2026, 05:01:16 PM
Heya,  :lemming:  :lemming:  :lemming:

I'm currently considering submitting a showcase for UKSG Blue in October 2026
UKSG is a speedruning event, held three times a year in Glasgow. They fundraise money for CRISIS to help people out of homelessness.
But not every submission must be strictly speedruns that appear on leaderboards. I often submit retro games (though mostly point and click/puzzle adventures, see Here for examples).
I consider NeoLemmix at least TAS-adjacent, as you have control over every input on every frame, even if the goal isn't necessarily to get the fastest time.

My current plan is to showcase three things:
1. Speedruns of the vanilla Lemmings Mayhem  :scared:  category but with NeoLemmix solutions (where I want to showcase fast solutions as loaded replays to these, played back at fast speed and provide some commentary).
2. Crazy  :lem-mindblown: levels solvable with the original 10 jobs, but requiring NeoLemmix for the inputs. So if you have (or have seen) some crazy levels with crazy solutions that only rely on the original 10 jobs, please show them off here.
3. Anything goes. NeoLemmix  :evil: + Lix  :lix-evil:  , Custom music, terrain, contraptions, solutions, skins, show off what you loved to create or loved someone else create.

Now to be absolutely clear, this is not a level creation contest.
There is for a submission, there is no guarantee that it will be accepted, so please do not put any additional effort into this.
If you have or have seen
1. A fast solution for an original Mayhem level,
2. A level showcasing interesting interactions with vanilla jobs,
3. Your favourite levels or solutions,
I'd be delighted to collect them here. Obviously I'll give proper credit to every creator should the submission be successful.

Don't worry too much about part 1, I'm aware not everyone likes optimising solutions for time, I'm happy to take care of that myself, if nothing in particular comes to mind.
I want to include this part to keep the theme of speedrunning in the submission.

Basically what I'm asking is, what are your favourite levels that you'd like to see in a showcase like this?
