[Neolemmix] Mikes Lemmings [Difficulty: Medium - Hard]

[Turrican]

Hi! Here is my first pack for Neolemmix. It's called "Mikes Lemmings" .

The pack contains 17 levels. It contains two main ranks with 7 levels each , and a Bonus rank which contains 3 levels. The 14 levels in the two main ranks , and one level in the bonus rank are made by me , and the other two levels from the Bonus rank are "Lemmix to Neolemmix" level conversions , that I have done in the past.

The two converted levels are: "Is There a Pilot in the Rocket ?" by Dodochacalo , and "Bubble Bath" by Gronkling.

The levels have already made their appearance in the "Levels by Turrican" thread , but now they make their appearance in a levelpack too.

You will find the pack , as an attachment in the bottom of this post. I have attached also , the replays of the solutions of the levels.


About the tilesets : Some of the levels use tilesets that are new , so here are the links to download them , if you haven;t already :

Here is the link for my Dropbox , where you can download the music tracks for the levels of the pack:

It contains a folder , called "Turrican projects". You need put that folder , inside the music folder.

All music tracks , have appeared also in the "Levels by Turrican" thread . There was a level , that had it's music track changed, so , you will find the new music track , in the Dropbox link.

Special thanks to :

Nessy and Namida , for putting some of their levels in the "Bits of levels you can finish" thread , so I could use them as basis for four of the levels , contained in the pack.

IchoTolot ,  for giving me permission to put his solution for "FC Lems screwed by the refs" , in the replay collection.

Armani , IchoTolot and Kaywhyn , for sending me solutions for several levels , that are contained in the pack ( in the "Levels by Turrican" and LOTY 2020 threads.

EDIT : I have uploaded the version 1.09 of the pack.

Just leaving this post here to say it's on my "to-play" list.

It's just that the list is currently quite large and that it may take a bit.

[Turrican]

Ok! Thank you Icho!

Uploaded the version 1.01 of "Mikes lemmings". It contains changes in the following levels :

"To the Stargate!" : The new version , contains a backroute fix. The stoners are now pick-up skills.

"FC Lems screwed by the refs" : The skillset now in this level , is a little more strict. The change is : -1 basher/digger/blocker ( in the pick-up skills)

[Turrican]

Uploaded the version 1.02 of the pack. It fixes an error in the info file that seemed to cause an "Failed to save memory" erron in my Neolemmix. If you have downloaded the previous version , please use the new version instead.

[Turrican]

Uploaded the version 1.03 of the pack. It contains one new level. The level is : Bonus 1 - "Excavations in the Cubic Cave".
I uploaded also the updated replay collection , that now contains , the replay of the new level too.

[IchoTolot]

Played through the pack today and here are my replays for you to check for backroutes.

More feedback will probably come when my solutions are backroute proof.

[IchoTolot]

I remember 1 thing that I did not report though:

The style with the pencils is missing its minimap color!

--> There is no minimap on "Wicked 01".

[Turrican]

@IchoTolot : Thank you for playing the pack!

About your solutions:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Three of your solutions are backroutes. These are the solutions for Wild 6 , Wicked 7 and Bonus 1.
All your other solutions are  intended , or acceptable alternatives.
The following days , I will try to fix the backrouted levels , and release a new version of the pack.

About Wicked 1 : Yes , I have noticed it too. It seems that it is an issue with the style. The level use the "image" style from the Rayman's tilesets. I have played another level that uses this tileset ("Wizard duel" by David) , and it has also , the same issue.

[Turrican]

Upoaded the version 1.04 of the pack. It contains backroute fixes for the following levels :

Wild 6 - "Outside the Control Room" : I have added an "one-way-force" object to the level.

Wicked 7 - "Airborne Rodents" : One of the stoners is now a pick-up skill.

Bonus 1 - "Excavations in the Cubic Cave" : I have made some small changes on the exit area.

[IchoTolot]

Here are my updated replays.

[Turrican]

@IchoTolot: Your solutions for Wild 6 and Bonus 1 are intended. Good job!

Your solution for Wicked 7 is backroute , so I did some changes to the level.

As a result , I have uploaded the version 1.05 of the pack.

It contains the version 1.03 of "Airborne Rodents".
That version ,contains changes on the layout of the exit area , the number of Lemmings and save requirement , and on the solution of the level.

I have uploaded also, the updated replay collection of the levelpack , which contains the solution of the new version of the level.

[IchoTolot]

Let's just say, I think the fix at the exit gate with the traps made the backroute way worse.

Maybe before submitting the next version of it for the Community Pack let's first make sure it gets past me unbroken. When it is fixed without me backrouting it again then I can update it there as well.

@IchoTolot:

As I said also on Discord  ,your solution is not   
a backroute anymore , is an acceptable variation of the intended solution. You are doing correctly all the tricks , I want to enforce. That means that you have solved my pack now with intended or acceptable alternative solutions. As for the last level , you have used the intended method. Some changes that I could do is to remove one  stacker , and add a coin at the pipe that needs to be digged insted of the bottom? (while increasing the save requirements ?). In any case that solution is not a backroute. And the level just needs some fine-tuning.

I have uploaded the version 1.06 of the pack. It contains the version 1.04 of "Airborne Rodents". It contains some changes on the skillset , and on the solution of the level.

I have uploaded also, the updated replay collection of the levelpack , which contains the solution of the new version of the level.
