NeoLemmix Levels / Re: NotaLems Level pack
Last post by Guigui - April 23, 2026, 04:37:18 PM
Im currently playing the Tough rank of this pack (I started by hardest rank as per my stupid habit, I like to end with soothing levels :D)

I can confirm that Tough 4 No Justice is hard and requires a lot of precision. One will definitely struggle to save those left-side Lemmings if not pixel-precise.
I do have a solution that saves 47/46 :
Spoiler
One extra Lem saved, certainly by sparing a bridge over what's intended to stop the miner before it falls to the bottom.
To achieve this you have to place the bomber, miner, and 2 builders in pixel-perfect places. See solution if interested.

Quote from: JawaJuice on April 22, 2026, 03:31:24 PMHey Steve! I assume you were talking about the new level 'Calacatta Monument' when you mentioned a glaring issue; I got the latest version :thumbsup: V2 Tough rank cleared. I would say you've succeeded in making the rank live up to its name! That said, I still found 'Potholing' from Medium harder than pretty much any of these. It could just be a me thing - not seeing the solution for ages - but I'd consider swapping out an early Tough level for it maybe.

Of your updated levels, these were the hardest for me: Level 3 (Catacombs), Level 10 (Pair of Aces), Level 15 (Crosses and Noughts), Level 18 (Spectacular), Level 20 (The Arches) and Level 27 (Clam Dune). I really needed to totally re-work my previous solution for these, so guessing I must've backrouted them pretty badly before (assuming I still haven't!). The gold talisman on 28 wasn't too bad, primarily because I found I could just tweak my previous solution very slightly.

V2 replays attached. Great job again with this pack - a ton of fun!  :) :thumbsup:



You're a beast of a player, again, thank you for taking time to help me inprove level making, it's really kind of you to offer as much as you have.

I think the NotaLems projects has run it's course and I'm gonna focus on the second level pack with the info I've been given.

Well played mate.

Editor Bugs & Suggestions / [✓][BUG][ED] Error: Starting N...
Last post by Guigui - April 22, 2026, 10:23:09 PM
Hello,

A friend of mine installed NeoLemmix 12.14 and NLEditor 2.0 in the same folder. When he creates a level and tries to playtest it via the "Play Level" in the editor, he gets the following error :

Error: Starting NeoLemmix.exe failed or was aborted
Also in his main directory with NL and NLEditor, he has a file named ErrorLog with the following content :

20260422155035
System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (0x80004005): L'opération a été annulée par l'utilisateur
à System.Diagnostics.Process.StartWithShellExecuteEx(ProcessStartInfo startInfo)
à System.Diagnostics.Process.Start()
à System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(ProcessStartInfo startInfo)
à NLEditor.NLEditForm.PlaytestLevel()

Any idea what the problem might be ?

For now he launches the created level manually with NL 12.14 to playtest, but it is quite annoying.

Hi everyone, sorry. I know that I just released V2, however I noticed a glaring issue within the level pack. I've now re-uploaded it on the original post on this thread, please download and enjoy!
Sorry for any confusion!

Quote from: JawaJuice on April 21, 2026, 09:36:37 PMV2 Medium replays attached. You'll have to let me know if I've still backrouted any of these. 'The Pillars of Positivity and Negativity' still feels like it might be, mainly because I have a ton of unused diggers - I'm not really sure what your intention is with this level tbh, I just solve it in the way that seems most logical to me! That's always the case though really. I rarely set out to backroute a level (unless I spot a really obvious one and want to highlight it) but I do sometimes struggle to see what an author is intending. And wow, you've made 'Potholing' really hard now - way longer solve time than any other level in Medium. It actually took me longer than almost all of the Tough rank levels, although admittedly I haven't played your updates yet; could well be that some of those seemed easier than were due to backrouting them previously. We shall see!



All are intended, except for Pole Dance, however, Pole Dance (much like Calacatta Monument) is actually from the Second pack I'm making with a different skill set, and I know that it's very simple, I was going to make a new level but time hasn't been on my side, nor is it in the coming weeks. I will replace it somewhat soon, however for now it fills the void haha.

Well done on Potholing.

Quote from: JawaJuice on April 21, 2026, 06:43:20 PMCongrats on the v2 release, Steve!

I'll give you a bit of feedback on the blurbs at the start of the Easy rank levels; I just noticed a few typos and such - feel free to ignore if I'm being too pedantic :)

Level 1: "The first few levels will teach you skill starting with Diggers."

I think you mean 'skills' rather than 'skill' here.

Level 6: "Blockers will block the Lemmings from a path you may not which them to take."

'wish' rather than 'which'.

Level 8: "You may have noticed on the level page and small circle with a question mark."

'a small circle' rather than 'and small circle'.

Level 9: Only one 's' in 'occasionally' ;)

Level 12: "Sadly you won't be able to rescue all the lemmings all the time... This level will teach you that."

Except it won't, because it is possible to save all the lemmings with this reworked level (see attached). ;P

I'll include my replays for the new Easy rank levels where my old replays no longer worked (about a half a dozen of them). I dig the new one, Highland Hijinks :thumbsup:



Not at all pedantic, these are oversights I'm very well known for, I type too fast for my own good haha, thanks for pointing them out. Fingers before brain unfortunately...
