New NeoLemmix Website

[Nessy]

The site is working again.

Everything Nepster published today has been uploaded and is now available to download at NeoLemmix.com.

Some things to note:
- The NeoLemmix Player page has the updated NeoLemmix Player (V11.15.20)

- For a limited time the application that allows you to convert your level packs to the new format will be included when you download the NeoLemmix Player zip file. Nepster suggested to have these separated in the future when we are more settled with the new formats, so when that time comes I will let everyone know where its permanently home will be.

- Don't forget to download the Styles folder on the NeoLemmix Player page as well. They contain the updated graphic sets.

- The NeoLemmix Editor page has the new NLEditor (V1.0)

- The Graphic Tool and Graphic Conversation tools are now on the Graphic Set Tool page.

- And of course, old versions of every application are available to download by following the "download page" link.

- I am planning on doing some more style updates to the website. The first will be making the download links look more pretty, which is something I have been playing around with. Right now they look like they are a part of the main text and the only thing that visually separates them are the default hyperlink styles and unordered list bullet points. Except that change soon. I might test it on one page and get feedback.



If you have trouble downloading something or with the website in general please let me know right away on this thread or via PM.

I just want to let everybody know that I have uploaded Nepster's new NXPConverter. You can download it separately instead having to download the entire NeoLemmix player again. I'm in the process of trying to organize these download links a little better, so expect that soon.

Overall I like the new hompage very much, but I have four comments/suggestions:
1) I have the urge to click on the black "NeoLemmix" header on the left to get back to the main page. I think it should be clickable and go the main starting page. Perhaps we then don't need the additional "Home" link any more?
2) Currently the "About" section is at the bottom of the player download page. I think this is far too important to be placed there and would better fit on the main starting page.
3) I know this is due to the recent changes, but on the player download page the new-formats player is currently offered along with the Introduction pack V1.06, which can only be played in the old-formats player. Perhaps remove the Intro pack from this site for the moment or at least offer a warning about this incompatibility?
4) While I very much appreciate that you updated everything so quickly with their new-formats counterpart, I noticed that you still offer the old-formats Flexi Toolkit. Perhaps replace it, too, with its new-formats counterpart, which is now called "PackToolkit.exe"? Of course we don't yet have youtube tutorials for it, but I have high hopes that Flopsy will get around creating one at some point .

Thanks Nepster for the feedback.

1) If the black NeoLemmix header on the left returns you to the home page then, yes, I can remove the "Home" link. The only problem I have is if other people have the same urge to click it as you. I might make the change and if someone has trouble I will encourage them to let me know so that I can figure out another solution.
2) I thought that someone would like the download links first so they can quickly grab what they needed, but if the About section is more important then I can easily swap the two sections.
3) I think I'm going to remove it for now, at least until the Introduction pack is up to date with the new formats. I didn't want to mess with the existing content too much, but since you offered that choice then that's going to be my decision.
4) Good catch. Yes, I will replace it and I'm sure Flopsy wouldn't mind making a tutorial.

Good point. So perhaps let's keep the current layout and see whether other people feel the same.

2) I thought that someone would like the download links first so they can quickly grab what they needed, but if the About section is more important then I can easily swap the two sections.

Sorry for not being clear here: I don't want to just swap the two sections in the player download page, but move the "About" section to the main starting page, one gets to when entering http://www.neolemmix.com/.
The reasoning is the following: A new potential user starts there and the first question they have is most likely "Why should I use NeoLemmix?". And the About section on the player download page gives a pretty good overview of the new features and keeps the new user interested.

NeoLemmix Player V11.15.21 and NLEditor V1.1 have been uploaded to the NeoLemmix website.

Some other changes have also been uploaded that take into consideration Nepter's feedback:
- NeoLemmix "About" section has been moved to home page with a new header.
- NeoLemmix Introduction Pack has been removed.
- New Flexi Toolkit is available to download independently under the Flexi Toolkit page.

And of course please be advised that all feedback is welcomed .

Hey Nessy! Why are the Genesis and DOS and other music packs not on the website anymore?

Hey Nessy! Why are the Genesis and DOS and other music packs not on the website anymore?

Unfortunately I never remembered about them so it never migrated to the new website (because when I took over not all content from the old website was available in the new website). I must do this. Thank you for bringing this up.

For now please download these tracks in the old NeoLemmix website.

[Nessy]

A "Music Pack" page has been added to the NeoLemmix Website. It contains all music packs found on the old NeoLemmix site plus a brand new one... the SNES music pack. Special thanks to GigaLem for finding those SNES tracks and Yung Gotenks for fixing and converting them.

I am also seriously considering including the 8-bit remixes by Yung Gotenks in the website as well (with his permission of course), and maybe some other official lemming tracks. Any suggestions or links to other fan-made tracks I am not familiar with would be appreciated

P.S.: Have a save holiday and end of year everyone!

[GigaLem]

I recommend putting the C64 ones up there as well since Yung Gotenks found em as well

You have my permission Nessy. You can put the 8-bit remixes on the site if you want. And the C64 pack i put together too.
