NeoLemmix CE now has this feature.

It differs slightly from Armani's implementation in that it's assigned using a separate hotkey ([NumPad *] by default), to keep the Highlit and Camera-Locked states mutually exclusive (i.e. they can be used together, or separately).

Meanwhile, as with Highlight Lemming, air-clicking with [Hotkey + LMB or RMB] will cancel the camera-locked state.

This is a really nice feature, I can see it being useful for a variety of things. As well as giving focus to a particular lemming during a replay or playback showcase, it may also help with large or multitasking levels where it can be difficult to keep track of things, or - particularly - teleporter levels!

Anyway, we have it in CE now. Many thanks to Armani for providing the idea, and the code, for this feature!

Implemented in NLCEPlayer commit 43c57c3.

If you mean that you want to set the 3 rules, then you need to win a level contest and pick that as your prize (as opposed to the $5 prize)

Edit: Oh wait, they changed it I think so that the top 3 each picks a rule? It's been ages since I've participated in one of these

If you mean you want to host your own level contest, then there's no set rules for how you do it, you'd be hosting it so you'd have full control, whatever you want to do.

so i feel like i wanna host one of these...

but how do i do it?

• Don't remove this topic
• Post any more one-off levels and/or "those that nominally slap a 'pack' name onto it while still just being another unorganised random level dump in practice" packs in here
• Make a new topic for any non-"those that nominally slap a 'pack' name onto it while still just being another unorganised random level dump in practice" packs

Pretty simple rules

also thanks

Just as my first entry reached testing - a little bump for the topic to remind you to keep on working on your entries. 

Why is https://www.lemmingsforums.net/index.php?topic=7593.0 and https://www.lemmingsforums.net/index.php?topic=7585.15 in "In Development" and not "NeoLemmix Levels"?

Quote from: Simon on September 27, 2026, 01:16:03 AMnamida wondered: Should the Random Level Sharing Topic continue to sit in In Development, or should it move to NeoLemmix Levels?

100% move it to NeoLemmix Levels, makes no sense in "In Development" whatsoever

Quote from: Simon on September 27, 2026, 01:16:03 AMThat would mean that there 4 ways to release levels:

• Levels: Random levels by random authors.
• Levels: Xyz's levels.
• Levels: OhYesNoLems by Xyz.
• In Development: OhYesNoLems WIP by Xyz.

[/list]

Points 1 and 2 are now consistent, that's nice. But makes In Development feel strange: You post your levels on Levels, unless you believe they'll go into a level pack, then you don't post your levels in Levels. ... and instead in In Development.

Maybe there should be three boards: Loose Levels (for the Random topic and the per-author loose levels), Packs In Development, and Released Packs?

• Loose Levels: Random levels by random authors.
• Loose Levels: Xyz's levels.
• Packs In Development: OhYesNoLems WIP by Xyz.
• Released Packs: OhYesNoLems by Xyz.

[/list]

Onboarding new users is clear either way. There is a recommended way to release however much you have.

I think the former list is fine honestly. If it ain't broken, don't fix it.
