Yes you have! That's intended - you thought outside the box!

Mincemeat is intended too.  The gold talisman requires some extra thinking and finesse in your technique!

To help with this, the SLX Editor now marks levels as "NeoLemmix Level" when in NL mode, and "SuperLemmix Level" when in SLX mode (see topic). The Editor auto-detects the platform to set the mode by default; so, even if authors don't actually select the mode themselves, in the vast majority of cases the level should be marked correctly.

(In SLX and CE, we could even ask the engine to check the level file for the correct format marker, and warn the player if it's incorrect).

Some things to note:

1) .nxlv files are identical in both NL and SLX. Any differences in how the level plays will be down to physics, and nothing to do with the Editor (or the file format) itself.

2) Authors could still make a level for SuperLemmix, mark it "NeoLemmix Level", and release it for NeoLemmix (and vice versa). And, this could (in theory) be done accidentally - the author could have the SLX Editor in their NL directory, and build an SLX level from there. So, it's not a completely foolproof system, but it should help fewer levels to slip through the net.

(The logical next step is simply to create the .sxlv format, to which .nxlv must be converted in order to be played on SLX. Since the text formatting is identical, this should be a doddle to get sorted.)

Implemented in commit 3df088d.

Note that, when in SuperLemmix mode, the level will of course continue to be marked as "SuperLemmix Level".

I feel if a level is made for neolemmix with the SLXEditor it should say NeoLemmix Level

I'm so British!
More to come tommorrow!

Progressed further with this today. We can now pin styles (to both ends of the list) as desired, we have an auto-pin for the SLX OG styles, a button to sort all unpinned styles alphabetically, and a search bar to help quickly locate an author or style:



This is working quite well as-is, I've used it to build the master copy styles.ini file and I'm confident it's ready for release. We can always tweak as necessary once it's in use.

Implemented across commits a9c6fb4 - 67b8933.

I have tried the One rank , and here are the replays of my solutions.

I enjoyed the pack a lot! it's theme is pretty original , and as I said in my first post , the  puzzles have a lot of variety.

Both backroutes unfortunately;

although...

You're getting close with R3.

Quote from: Guigui on November 28, 2025, 11:04:50 PMAbout Sour 5 @JawaJuice : I checked and we have the same solution indeed. Though my execution was way harder than yours bc I set the miner at an incorrect height, which made the crowd either walk left or splat when escaping the miner tunnel. Another case of player overcomplicating things for himself.

Though I still wonder if we have intended solution on Sour 5 Through Thick and Thin, I save 1 blocker and you save 1 blocker and 1 jumper.

I shall have a look at your replays! Always fun to compare To be honest, I also made the same mistake as you, starting the miner at the wrong height on my first attempt, I guess I just saw the starting point needed to be adjusted but I wasn't too precise about the adjustment; that's where I got lucky! Yeah, I'm not sure either if it's the right solution, though it has to be close if not. Maybe The Tomato Watcher will let us know

EDIT: Hmm, watching your replay of Sour 5, I'm not quite sure why you use the second jumper, I don't think you should need to if the miner tunnel is correct. Actually, watching the bit of Flopsy's LP video above, where he tackles the old version of this level, I think he shows what the intended solution should be

I am pure evil wrapped up in a veneer or stupidity, so I say O N E  HEHE HA NOW YOU GOTTA START ALLL OVER
