[RetroLemmini] hrb264’s Retrolemmini levels

kaywhyn · March 10, 2026, 11:05:10 AM

While playing Tricky 7 - The Passover level of your pack, I found what seems to be a bug where for some strange reason Lemmings fall/clip through solid terrain. Screenshot attached.

Per WillLem's advice, I've captured the X, Y coordinates of the problematic spot in the level while in debug mode. I posted the picture on Discord a few days ago, but I'm posting it here as well so WillLem can take a look. I currently don't have any clue why it happens on this particular level.

I can't seem to get it to happen.

Steps to reproduce?

Things to check in the meantime:

1) Are you using RL 2.8? If so, go to Help > Update Styles, let it update the styles (this takes < 10 seconds), then try the level again
2) Are you playing level version 32? If not, does the level have any terrain pieces marked as "fake" in that area?

Yes to both 1) and 2), RetroLemmini 2.8 and Version 32 of the level, respectively. I've tried updating the styles via Help => Update styles as you outlined in 1) and I still get Lemmings falling/clipping through the terrain on Tricky 7 of hbr264's pack

I couldn't reproduce it either (although to be honest when I first made the level I had this issue on some bits as mentioned, but I fixed these). If you want I can take another look?

No need. If you and WillLem were seeing the same thing with there being no issue on your guys' end, then that means the problem is likely on my end. I managed to sort it out, and I simply deleted the styles folder from my RetroLemmini directory and re-extracted the styles folder from the RetroLemmini 2.8 download. I even compared the .ini files and didn't see anything different other than the addition of up and down OWAs once I updated the styles. So, whatever was causing the issue on Tricky 7 in the first place, I honestly have no idea

Completely unrelated, but I did the same thing with re-extracting the level editor from the RetroLemmini 2.8 download recently as well because eventually it got stuck with the zoom and didn't work properly. Once again another issue which I have no idea how it came about and so I don't know how to reliably reproduce it other than maybe playing around the editor long enough and constantly zooming in and out in it. Maybe with different levels loaded too.

Glad to know it's all sorted. In all fairness, there have been a lot of updates between 2.5 and 2.8, especially to the styles, so it really could have been anything. Eventually, RL will be more "stable" once the current dev cycle is done with (which I currently anticipate will be sometime in April/May this year).

Hi

I've made a few edits to Taxing 1 - I am still not 100% happy with the way it looks tbh but hopefully it should be better than before.

I've also made a few more levels: (these will be in another pack tbh)

Great to see you're making more levels! You've got the hang of it now, keep going.

Why not add them to your existing pack? There's nothing wrong with expanding and/or revising your pack over time, don't feel the need to release a separate one just because your pack has already been released.

Maybe even give it a catchy name based on your own name or gamer tag (e.g. NepsterLems by Nepster, MobiLems by mobius, etc) or a unique name that says a bit more about what users can expect from your levels (e.g. Strato's "Lemmings World Tour" and "Hall Of Fame" are both music-themed packs, Mantha's "TV Lems" is a TV-show-themed pack).

These are just some ideas, feel free to ignore this and do whatever you feel is best for your levels.

Hope this helps

Thanks:) I only intended it to be a short pack initially but I will defo add the revised versions to it and maybe some of the new levels too
