I recommend listening to "Lose Yourself" by "Eminem" while reading this...

  • This Update has been approved of by Zephyr (In my head at least) as being about non-halo content.
  • This Update may make Halo fans cry.
  • This Update contains content about Extreme110's personal life. Stalkers, go away now.

It has been a while, my dear fiends friends. I have been locked out of the internet at home, and at school Cyrem for some random and annoying reason added this site to the "Weapons" Category. Unfortunately, my school has a Filter system that blocks pages of certain categories. Guess what site I couldn't goto at school?

But, now it has changed, and I'm gonna pop out some sweet information for you young chumps that have eagerly been waiting for my masterpiece that is this episode.

Re-organisation Time


I announced this in the Shoutbox a few days ago, but no-one seemed to care or hear me...LEGO Rock Raiders: Battle For Sav-Kai-Nam now is officially the most important project on my list. Yes. Final Dawn is being moved back. Yes. SKN will be done first. Yes. It will be epic.

Due to my situation at home where I am being locked out of the internet (They think I am), I am having trouble talking to the guys who should be working on Final Dawn. Thus, I am postponing it until I am studying at Qantmn College at Sydney (So I can take advantage of the CryTek Engine, which they have the rights to).

And now, "LEGO Rock Raiders: Battle For Sav-Kai-Nam" is being renamed. For now, it will be called "Project SKN". It's real name...you'll have to wait...

A Campaign Worthy Of gmjab


Yeah, I am so bored right now...so I'm gonna spoil every secret I have right now on Project: SKN's mission list. May you have fun reading it...

The way that missions are presented in this game have a mission description, and the title. Both are given here. I have added [PROLOUGE] and [EPILOUGE] tags for your pleasure in that these missions, like their counterpart chapters in a Chapter book, are only added story-line, and can be skipped if you wish...or at least Epilogue Can...

Main Campaign

  1. [PROLOUGE] Back To X - Let's Make A Quick Revision, Eh?
  2. First Day - Don't Screw Up This Early.
  3. Hell's Pit - Wait...even hell isn't this hot!
  4. Cache-less - We don't serve the rich here.
  5. Mood Lighting - Lights Out. Now.
  6. Engagement - Make Contact, Then Make Enemy Pancakes.
  7. Only A Puppet - Ventriloquism At It's Best.
  8. 6 O’clock Heist - It's Not Always Bad To Be A Criminal...
  9. Snipes Knowing You - Learn Long Range, And Learn It Quick.

  17. Seal The Bank - Save What Must Be Stolen.
  18. Guardian - Defend Your Profits.
  19. Going Up - You're At The Spire. Now Blow It Up.
  20. Insurrectionists - Déjà Vu.

  22. Tower Control - Give Peace A Chance.
  23. Sound Off - She Dies, You Know?

  25. Exterminator - Only $49.99 An Hour.
  26. The Library - Book Nerds Are Deadly...
  27. Rainbow Warrior - Set Off The Charges, And Prepare To Run.
  28. Explosivo - One Car, One Lap, One Life...This'll Be Fun...
  29. Negotiations - Fine, They Can Be Aggressive.
  30. Citadel - It Collapsed. Now Your Gonna Drill It Up.
  31. Déjà Vu - Haven't We Done This Before?
  32. Protect And Sever - His Orders Exactly.
  33. Returner - And The Horse You Rode On.
  34. Immortality - Pure PWNAGE.
  35. Boneyard - Welcome To The Last Day For The Rest Of Your Life.
  36. Endgame - Send Us Out, With A Kiss And A Bang.
  37. Aftermath - Flashbang Tone...And Let's Film It!
  38. POW - You Are A Mockery Of All Men.
  39. [EPILOUGE] The Final Fall - This...This Is Our Final Battle.

Now, most of the descriptions are actually quotes from the missions...so expect some humour, and expect some seriousness. Some of the quotes are also Halo quotes, and some are other random references...if someone can PM me with a list of all the quotes and references I have placed here and where they originate from, I'll give them a Free of charge Alpha Test code...

Oh, and the Epilogue mission...haha...good luck in trying to find it. It's actual button is only 1 Pixel by 1 Pixel...and I'm not telling you where I'm hiding it...

BUT THAT IS NOT ALL! For you see, we have DLC! (More info on DLC in the next section)

Each of these Campaigns has a different faction. This is explained in the next section. Oh, you might notice that the Evo Campaign's playable faction has been 'Redacted'. The faction is not for your eyes yet, little ones. Only my working Plebeians will see this for now...

Lastly, I want to speak about Pricing for the Standalone (Non-DLC) release. Here are the versions and there nice little descriptions, each wrapped up in a pretty red bow:

  • UI Only: (Free) You get the UI Replacement pack which works with LEGO Rock Raiders, but not Project: SKN. Contains Menu Graphics, some HUD Changes, and some sound edits.

  • Standard: (Free) Just the game. Nothing is removed, but no extra content is added.

  • Heretic: ($7AU) The Game (YOU JUST LOST IT HAHAHAHA!), with some special added re-skins, and Special Level Editions, plus some extra content.

  • Haxed: ($14AU) Heretic Edition, but even better. If you extract the .wad files, you'll have access to every bit of deleted content, full documentation on what every last file and what every last line in every text file does, and you will also receive a special machinima episode. Plus, not in the .wad files, you can find a Machinima Episode about the content that didn't make the game (Which can be run in the from within the Haxed Edition Version of the game) and some other special things...

Bringing An Xbox Idea Home


DLC (Or DownLoadable Content) has been in the Xbox 360 market for sometime, and it has been very, very successful in getting interest back into an old game. Project: SKN will have a DLC system. To explain it, I'm going to share my big .wad file system secret...

  • LegoRR0: Object Data (i.e. Vehicles, Characters, Buildings)
  • LegoRR1: Reserved For Object Updates/Bug Fixes
  • LegoRR2: Sound Data
  • LegoRR3: Reserved For Sound Updates/Bug Fixes
  • LegoRR4: Mission Data
  • LegoRR5: Reserved For Mission Updates/Bug Fixes
  • LegoRR6: Important Files (i.e. LEGO.cfg, Credits.txt, UI files, HUD files)
  • LegoRR7: Reserved For Important File Updates/Bug Fixes
  • LegoRR8: Reserved For DLC (Object Data, Mission Data)
  • LegoRR9: Reserved For DLC (Sound Data, Important Files)

Yes, there is way more WAD then you can handle. But, in all seriousness, we have a lot of content, and there will be many bugs we have to squash, so this seems to be a very good WAD configuration.

Now, Mission Packs are free of charge, and either contain 5 Maps and 2 Bonus Features, or 7 Maps and 1 Bonus Feature. Campaign Packs are usually about $7AU-$14AU and usually contain 3 campaigns and 4 Bonus Features. And no, I won't be caught this early releasing what this "Bonus Content" stuff is, so just hold on.

So far, FAILTASTIC Map Pack will possibly be released 7 Weeks after the release of Project: SKN. Chronicles will possibly be released on the next Extreme110 Day after Project: SKN's release.

Yes, each DLC will also allow you to play as a new faction. That is kind of the point, to give you a new perspective on the whole thing.

Your Chance For The Spotlight


Project: SKN will be a hard mistress. It's beauty, practicality, and it's resourcefullness will be the bane of my life for 2 years...unless, that is, I get help. I'll soon be releasing a list of every damned position I need filled, and I bet before we all know it, every member on RRU will be helping (Actually, scratch that, half the members here have no idea...)

A Revised Description


So, for all you who still have no idea what I am talking about, this is the completely revised addition of the information page I had posted in the "Work-In-Progress" section of "Overhauls" on this site.

Project: SKN (Or SKN for short), is a complete overhaul of LEGO Rock Raiders, introducing all new content. SKN takes us to the future, in the year 5243, when the Human Race (Or LEGO Race) is at it's biggest pitfall ever.

The GAAS (Global Arms and Artillery Society), since it's defeat by the UDFC (United Defence Force Corps), has hidden itself on a space installation called "The Spire". In the meantime, the UDFC continues to follow in the "Rock Raiders" path, as they find unclaimed planets, and drill them for the precious resource known as "Energy Crystals". You are Commander J.B Forbes, Commander of the 22nd UDFC Recon Squad. Your troops have been sent in on specialist missions, which require stealth and hard physical labour. That's right. Labour.

Instead of Hand-to-Hand combat or Tactical Air-Strikes, you will be working on the ground to provide EVACT (Environmental Versatile Air Command Teams, Often called VACS), SOMACT (Southern Offensive Munitions and Artillery Combat Teams, Often called MACS) and NCA/DT (Nuclear Combat Arming/Disarming Teams, Often called NACS) with both Power (In the form of objects known as "Energy Crystals", and Defensive Positions (Like Barracks or AP/AA Turrets).

But, fear not, I will be adding 2 pages worth of Background Storyline and more information in the next update...

Popcorn, And One Hell Of A Film Reel Leaving Late Content Out


So I asked azkhehjfffjfgeous to send me a machinima update, and he is still writing it up...so, that will appear on Monday (MY MONDAY. AUSTRALIAN MONDAY) in another entry.

Blame Phillip Someone


Now, it is in my new kick-[Please Talk Properly] tradition to add this segment to the update. Unfortunately, I cannot "Blame Phillip" for this event. See, I somehow acquired his reading glasses! Oh well. I blame YOU.

Letters To Extreme


From now on guys, please send me funny and serious PMs, and they will be added to this segment for everyone else to enjoy! And yes, I will answer them...

From the PM Bucket this week, I have a few...well...you just go ahead and read them...

From TheEPICtrainrider, I got this hell of a message, and it is so big I have to put it in a spoiler...

TheDoctor : (12:15 AM) Zephy, I have a hidden chat for you where we can say things about Joe that he doesn't know about.

Sure, it started out as a chat, but soon lead to something more. Zephyr and TheDoctor were in a mutual relationship. They both hated Joe, the troll from the other side of the forum. So they started to chat about him on TheDoctor's chat. Soon they began to talk about school, homework, even politics. Then TheDoctor's girlfriend broke up with him... Well... less broke up and more dumped his sorry butt for a Football player with jock itch and aids (she married him and had a unfulling life, dieing at age 82). TheDoctor was struck a hard blow at this time. He had his heart ripped out, so he decided to drown out his misery on the internet. As he finished watching turtle sex videos on youtube, he accidentally clicked a bookmark leading to his secret chat. Zephyr was on.

Zephyr: Hey Doc, what's up?

TheDoctor: My girlfriend dumped me.

Zephyr, who usually would have said something sarcastic, then decided that she might as well off TheDoctor some sympathy.

Zephyr: I'm so sorry. .

TheDoctor, not himself and broken, warmed up to Zephyr. They chatted for the rest of the night, mostly TheDoctor venting, until they parted, and the chat was left dormant.

Over the next few days, TheDoctor checked the chat every moment he was online. His mother would later say that he had an "obsession with his computer" and that whenever she banned him from it he would "become really depressed."

A week after her chat with TheDoctor, Zephyr got some horrible news. The boy she had a crush on died in a car accident. She was heart-struck, she moped around the house for the next few days. Until, bored and depressed, she looked on TheDoctor's chat.

Zephyr: Hello?

TheDoctor:Hey! Where have you been?

At that moment, Zephyr collapsed. She pored her heart and soul into the chat; talking about things not even related to the car crash. TheDoctor comforted her. They bonded.

The next year was filled with skype videos, emails, and hours spent on the chat. During Christmas they made each other pictures, and in the Summer, they spent all their time talking to each other. During Halloween TheDoctor sent Zephyr a screamer, and she... well... I'm not sure how to go about saying this but *omg banhammered*

They lived happily, until Zephyr found someone else. Zephyr had started to date this religious boy she met. She slowly stopped chatting, leaving eariler and eariler from their skype videos... Until TheDoctor was alone again.

He drove out to a nearby bridge over a swirling river. He stared into the churning water, and held his breath....

Now, you may think he was going to jump, but he was just considering it. And I can't have the poor guy kill himself now can I?

TheDoctor looked up into the sky as a shooting star passed over. "Please," he whispered, "I just want to be happy..." The shooting start came closer, and closer.

The meteorite that was the shooting star crashed right into TheDoctor. His body was cooked nicely and all his clothes burned off. A family of wolves would eat his corpse and spare 3 wolve puppies from starving.

Up in heaven, TheDoctor met up with all his friends from RRU, who had all been in the same plane crash. TheDoctor chatted with Cyrem, had some soder with RockModder, even watch Lz fire his own Lazor. The best part of it was when he got to punch TheEPICtrainrider in the Jaw for writing this horrible ramble.

HAPPY END.

Extreme110's Reply: Ha. And, how much of that is actually true?

And then I got another one from him,

A man buys a house. He buys furniture for the house. He gets kitchen supplies. He gets a dog. He marries his girlfriend. He has kids. This all happened before April 20, 2010.

The man was a gulf fisherman.

Extreme110's Reply: Your failure to amuse me has made you lose the game and lose 9000000000 Man Points.

From , I finally got a good post...

How is it there in Australia?

Extreme110's Reply: Cyrem might agree...it truly is way more awesome here. Everything is beautifull. No-one cares if we spell anything wrong. You can call anyone "mate" here. And we can substitue any word in a sentance with random gibbersh and the sentance is still legitimate. Although, it is winter...oh well.

From RockmoddeR, I recieved this...

Hi.

I'm sending you a message upon request.

I have sent a message upon request.

Bye.


Well, all good things must come to an end. And so must this update close with an exciting bang.

gallery_389_46_176968.jpg

I killed the Explosion Man.

Sending you all the love a 16 Year Old Loveless, Coke-addicted, Games-Modding, Nerdy, Australian Boy can give,

P.S THIS IS NOT A BLUE WAFFLES JOKE. NOR IS IT A WHISPERING EYE JOKE.

P.S.S Please do comment away. I AM SO BORED I NEED SOMETHING TO DO (Apart from work on SKN)!!!

RRU a weapons site? What the flip...

Tip regarding selling the mod: You can only sell the content you have created from scratch, that is, textures, models sound files you make. You can't included LEGO created stuff in it such as config code or whole WAD's since that stuff is owned by LEGO and they will chop your head off if you do that.

Inception is a good movie, I'll be watching it a second time tonight.

Well, the money part is still in debate, but mainly your paying for the machinima eps and me having to spend hour after hour to write up all the documentation. but of course, it may all change. AND DON'T SPOIL INCEPTION FOR ME LIKE A FRIEND DID TRIED TO! I'm gonna see it in 4 hours!

And Joe, yes. This is epic.
