Loap Test Releases (current build: V0.0.23.0)

[namida]

Current status:
- All physics features are implemented, but may still have bugs
- Lots of (fairly minor) visual bugs
- Hotkeys can only be configured via a text editor
- No editor yet (but you can use L3DEdit to create levels and play them in Loap)

Level compatibility:
- Lemmings 3D: All levels are confirmed solvable.
- Lemmings 3D Winterland: All levels confirmed solvable.
- Lemmings Plus 3D: All levels confirmed solvable. Some levels needed modifications; modified versions included in the Loap download.
- Other: All other levels included in the download are confirmed solvable (excluding some test levels that are not intended to be solvable, and generally don't even have exits).

Music: https://www.neolemmix.com/download.php?id=530 (You will not need to redownload the music when new versions are released.)

Source code available here: https://bitbucket.org/namida42/loap/

The binary is only available for Windows at this stage, but it should be possible to compile from source for Mac and Linux too. You can edit resolution settings, including fullscreen mode, in "Loap.ini" (which will be created after the first time you run Loap V0.0.13.0 or higher). Hotkeys can be edited in "hotkeys.lpmi", the structure of this file is similar to a NeoLemmix text-based data file.

Default hotkeys (click to show/hide)

Note that you can modify the hotkeys in "hotkeys.lpmi", which will be created the first time you run Loap. Likewise, you can reset to default by deleting this file.

Some screenshots (taken in V0.0.21.0) (click to show/hide)

Lemmings 3D Practice 20 "Teleporter"


Lemmings 3D Fun 1 "Take A Dive"


Lemmings Plus 3D Fun 3 "Lemmings On A Train"


Lemmings 3D Winterland Level 6 "Arctic Obstical Course"

If you've made custom levels using L3DEdit, you can copy them into the "levels" folder (inside "data"), or a subfolder thereof, and they should work - as long as they do not use non-default graphical assets (except for the ones from Lemmings 3D Winterland and Lemmings Plus 3D; those are supported). Some adjustments may be needed for levels with particularly tight physics reliances.

[namida]

Uploaded V0.0.6.0. Check the commit history on Bitbucket if you want to see every change; but the biggest one is that the Bomber and Builder skills work now. (The Basher, Miner and Digger still don't.)

https://www.neolemmix.com/download.php?id=532

[namida]

Uploaded V0.0.7.0. While there are bugs, all nine skills are working now.

https://www.neolemmix.com/download.php?id=533

[namida]

Uploaded V0.0.8.0. Likely still some bugs, but the skills are a lot more stable now. Additionally, slippery blocks / land is now supported.

https://www.neolemmix.com/download.php?id=534

[namida]

Uploaded V0.0.9.0. More fixes to skills, SIGNS.xxx / WALLS.xxx graphics (collectively termed "overlays" in Loap) are now supported, time limits are now enforced, release rate is adjustable, and there's some UI enhancements.

https://www.neolemmix.com/download.php?id=537

EDIT: First upload was borked for some reason; fixed. However, if it's still not working for you, do make sure you have the music.

By my (very quick) count, Loap should now be fully capable of playing:
- 16 of 20 Practice levels
- 46 of 80 L3D levels
- 5 of 6 L3D Winterland levels
- 61 of 80 LP3D levels

(Some more beyond this will be solvable too, because eg. the missing element is a trap you'd usually just avoid anyway, or because there's a backroute that the missing element doesn't matter for, or in Fun 8's case because all that's missing is a visual effect, etc.)

[namida]

Uploaded V0.0.10.0. New features include replays being possible to cancel properly, the ability to clone cameras (including to create new ones beyond the four default ones), and most importantly, traps work now! (Interactive objects other than traps still do not, but all five kinds of traps are working.)

This enables a further:
- 0 of 4 remaining Practice levels
- 8 of 34 remaining L3D levels
- 0 of 1 remaining Winterland levels
- 4 of 19 remaining LP3D levels

https://www.neolemmix.com/download.php?id=540

[namida]

Uploaded V0.0.11.0. This adds support for teleporters and rope slides (though the latter has some visual oddities at the moment), as well as the Fun 8 visual effect. It should also fix the bug some users are having where Loap starts up and the menu displays, but it crashes when you try to start a level.

This update should add the following to the "completely supported" list (outside of the rope slide visual issues):
- 2 of 4 remaining Practice levels
- 11 of 26 remaining L3D levels
- 1 of 1 remaining Winterland levels (meaning Winterland is now fully playable in Loap, if you don't mind the lack of a nice level select / title screen)
- 5 of 15 remaining LP3D levels

[namida]

Uploaded V0.0.12.0. This adds support for springs, trampolines and antisplat blocks, as well as fixes a few physics bugs and adds some (but not all) of the missing sound effects.

As of this version, at least by a quick "are all required features supported?" test, every known level should now be fully functional. It is still quite likely that there are bugs that prevent, or at least interfere with, solving some levels, though. Please report it if you find any. Don't forget that you can save a replay by pressing U while ingame (you can't save it from the postview screen at this time, though you can always go retry level and then save it once you're back in-game).

[namida]

Uploaded V0.0.13.0. This adds rewind functionality, improves the level select menu a bit (enough so that all levels can just be included now), fixes some bugs, adds more missing sound effects, and finally allows adjusting the window size (including fullscreen mode) - this can't be done in-game though, you do it by editing Loap.ini (which will be created the first time you run this version).

As always - you need the music as well; you can copy it from an old version or grab the download link in the first post.

[namida]

Uploaded V0.0.14.0. This adds Virtual Lemming and Highlight, and fixes a bunch of bugs (including several physics bugs).

Uploaded V0.0.15.0.

Changes:
> The code for determining if a block is solid at a given point has been completely rewritten.
> The camera will no longer move through walls / floors by default. You can force it to move through walls and floors by holding the Tab key while moving it.
> The mouse-overed lemming's current action will be displayed next to the skill panel.
> Gameplay now automatically exits 2.5 seconds (based on game time, not real world time) after the last lemming exits or dies.
> Screen transitions now have a proper fadeout / fadein effect.
> Cameras are now visible in-game.
> Improvements to the lemming-under-cursor code, in particular, it should now account for how close the lemming is (or isn't) to the camera.
> Fixed an issue that results in non-interactive objects being placed incorrectly in some cases (eg. in L3D Taxing 42 "Picky Platform").
> Got rid of the UI sound effect that's very similar to the builder brick placement; all elements now use the other (less similar) sound.
> Fixed the incorrect Climber sound effect.
> Fixed the lack of skill icon animation when a skill is assigned to a highlit or virtual lemming.

[namida]

Uploaded V0.0.16.0.

Changes:
> Hotkeys can now be customized (by editing the "hotkeys.lpmi" file which is created on first run).
> Added Save State / Load State functionality.
> Added support for skill selection hotkeys (not set by default).
> Added support for loading replays while in-game.
> Successful replays are automatically saved. (This can be disabled in the options file.)
> A sound effect is played upon reaching the save requirement.
> The camera's bounding box for solidity detection has been shrunk.
> The level select menu now remembers the last-used folder.
> Removed the sound effect when stepping forwards one frame.
> Slight tweak to bomber physics when on a slope.
> Tweaked the shading applied to certain faces of blocks.
> Fixed a physics bug with non-standard-shape one way blocks.
> Fixed a visual bug with certain exits (in particular this tends to affect exits on Golf levels).
> Fixed a bug where springs turn the block underneath them steel. (Teleporters and trampolines should do this, but not springs.)
> Fixed a bug where stunned lemmings don't react to the ground underneath them being removed.
> Adjustments to Mayhem 65 "The Prisoner" and several Lemmings Plus 3D levels to improve their functionality in Loap.

Please note in particular that the default hotkey for Load Replay is now Shift+U rather than L (this is changed because in-game replay loading is now possible, and L already had a different in-game function).

[namida]

Uploaded V0.0.17.0.

Changes:
> Physics change: Turners and Blockers cannot be assigned inside a splitter.
> Physics fix: Turners and Blockers can be assigned and function correctly in front of an exit.
> Adjusted block face shading to be a bit more L3D-like.
> Fixed a visual bug affecting the speed of animated block faces.
> Fixed a visual bug with ropeslides.
> *Should* fix the bug where offscreen lemmings may be picked up by the mouse cursor.

[namida]

Uploaded V0.0.18.0.

Changes:
> Added a title screen.
> Attempted / completed levels are now tracked.
> Hatch flaps are now displayed in levels.
> Implemented some changes that should improve the stuttering when playing on certain GPUs (especially discrete graphics on laptops). Not 100% fixed yet.
> Replay save / load hotkeys trigger when released instead of pressed; to minimize them becoming "stuck".

I have reuploaded V0.0.18.0 with a version of the Lemmings Plus 3D level "Power Distribution" that is solvable in Loap. For those who already downloaded the initial V0.0.18.0 download (if you downloaded it after this post was made, you have the fixed version), you can get just the fix for this level attached to this post (extract to your base Loap directory).
