Stuck on Taxing 26 (Win95 Version)

[hrb264]

I downloaded Neolemmix yesterday but the lemmings seem to walk incredibly fast and my reflexes aren't great at the best of times, is there a setting i can change so they walk slower?

Which version of NeoLemmix have you downloaded? If you open it and take a look at the main menu screen, the version number is printed at the bottom just above the yellow scroller.

The lemmings shouldn't be walking too fast, this may be a bug. If you have screen recording software installed I'd be interested to see how fast the game is running on your system.

There is a hotkey for "slow motion"  which slows the entire game down considerably, but you shouldn't have to use this for normal play. To use the hotkey, press F3 from the main menu (or click the yellow title card with the cogs) to access settings. From there, choose "Configure Hotkeys". You'll then be able to assign any key you wish to slow motion. From a quick check, I'm about 80% sure that there isn't a default, so configuring your own will be necessary if you do want to use it. But again, it shouldn't be necessary for just playing the game normally. Further investigation is needed!

Thanks very much, yeah it seemed massively faster than what I was used to when I used it last night, whereas I'm finding retrolemmini  quite easy to use. It probably is a bug, I'm trying to attach the screen recording now but it seems a really big file. You might be able to see some of it though?

I checked your NL video and everything seems fine there to me, including the speed. Mine goes at about that speed as well, and I'm certain that goes the same for pretty much everyone else who uses NL, unless it's a weak machine and/or the user has a lot of open applications while playing NL and other settings in-game enabled, such as the high quality mini-map, though the performance hit with this particular setting on will especially be notable on really huge/tall levels, and even moreso if there are also a lot of animated objects in the level. Then even on modern machines it will tend to be very laggy. In contrast, at least FF in NL works properly, not like in the Windows version where the level is practically over in about a second once you engage it.   

Nice!

Here's kaywhyn's solution in action on WinLemm. The key to the digger assignments is to use the arrow keys to make sure the lemming is facing the correct direction. From there, the solution is reasonably straightforward, and saves 100% which is always good

Thanks, and nice job on this as well!

yes, i totally agree with you. Yeah fast forward is completely unusable on windows lemmings.

It's a nice interface (although i never played the dos version as a kid) , and it could have been just a glitch last night as it does seem better when i loaded it up just now. However, I'm finding retrolemmini a lot more easy to use so far and closer to how i remember lemmings as a kid, but i want to get used to neolemmix as well when i have time. Thanks for all your help.

@WillLem, I just finished Havoc Look before you leap in RetroLemmini, I don't think I could have done it in Windows Lemmings I'm really enjoying the level packs too.
