    1. Run LEGO Rock Raiders with dgVoodoo

      By Cyrem,
      This guide is more or less a re-write of many posts of this method that are scattered around the forum with updated links and pictures to make it easier to follow.
      First and foremost there is sometimes confusion between dgVoodoo and Cafeteria. These are significantly different and perform entirely different things. dgVoodoo is an graphics API wrapper (or “converter”) for DirectDraw & Direct3D (Part of DirectX 6 - a graphics API developed by Microsoft). Most modern graphics cards are not compatible with games utilising old versions of DirectX, Rock Raiders is one of them. Cafeteria on the other hand is a Mod Launcher that allows easy installation of game resource modifications for LEGO Rock Raiders. It also has the ability to force LEGO Rock Raiders to run in resolutions higher than 640x480. You can use both of these together for optimal graphics improvements. in summary - dgVoodoo is what makes it possible to run LEGO Rock Raiders on modern graphics cards, not Cafeteria. Cafeteria is merely a toolkit to make an already working game even better.
      Secondly, Microsoft has updated Windows Vista through to Windows 10 with patches that remove SafeDisc and SecureRom support from those systems. This is a problem if you own a copy of LEGO Rock Raiders that is copy-protected. If you own the copy-protected version of LEGO Rock Raiders (some of the re-releases did not have copy protection) you'll probably find the game will not run at all. Following this guide will also correct this issue as well.
      Now that we know what dgVoodoo is and we know about the SafeDisc issue, lets begin.
      Guide
      While setting this up is really a piece of cake and requires barely any steps, people still can still get it wrong, so please follow the steps below. If you get stuck, try it again. If you're still stuck, reply to this topic.
      PREPARATION
      Before you begin, you will need to download some files. Please note that some Antivirus software may complain that dgVoodoo contains a virus. This is a false positive, it is a clean file. Download the files in the list below.
      LRR Masterpiece Editon Executable - Download D3DRM - Download dgVoodoo 2.55.4 - Download
      Note: dgVoodoo 2.53 is also compatible with LEGO Rock Raiders, download this version if you have issues with the latest version above.  
      STEP 1
      If you haven't already, install LEGO Rock Raiders. If the installer isn't working, try the Alternative Installer. Once this is done, navigate to the Rock Raider's installation directory (usually its: C:\Program Files (x86)\LEGO Media\Games\Rock Raiders ) and extract the contents of the "LRR Masterpiece Edition" zip file you downloaded just earlier into your installation folder, overwriting the original files. This folder then should look similar to this:
       

       
      STEP 3
      Next, from the D3DRM archive you downloaded before extract the D3DRM DLL File into the install folder.

       
      After that, open the dgVoodoo archive you also downloaded. You will need to extract: dgVoodooCpl.exe and the contents of the MS folder into your installation directory.

       
      STEP 4
      You're almost done. We'll now configure dgVoodoo, so double click dgVoodooCpl.exe to start the configuration program. Ensure that you are running the program in Administrator Mode (Right Click > Run as Administrator) or changes may not be saved. When it starts, look at the "Config Folder" path, if it is not the same path as your Rock Raiders install folder, click the ".\" button on the right. Next click the "DirectX" tab. You may want to play with some settings in here, however for this guide we'll just do the important ones. Change the "Resolution" to the same resolution that you are currently using (e.g 1920 x 1080 is common) and uncheck the "dgVoodoo Watermark".  Finally click apply.

       
      STEP 5
      Congratulations, you're set! There's one thing left to do and it's very important. You need to start the game from LegoRR.exe. Afterwards a window will appear, and if you've set it up correctly it will display the driver as "dgVoodoo DirectX Wrapper (display)".

       
      STEP 6 (OPTIONAL)
      While the game will now run, you will notice an absence of music. Typically, Rock Raiders plays music from the disc. However I have a fix to restore the game music into the game without the disc. If you would like to do this, follow this short guide.
       
      I hope this guide has helped you get your copy of LEGO Rock Raiders to work. Be sure to reply below if it worked for you or if you're having any troubles. Don't forget that if you do get it running, check out some of the great mods for the game around the community.
    2. FINALLY got LEGO Island and Rebuilder working on my Windows 11 laptop

      By Some-Guy113,
      Without this fix, trying to run LEGO Island with the latest Rebuilder build made it spin briefly and then just stop. Nothing, no error (not even the infamous "cd in your computer"), not even the game booting to a black screen. With Rebuilder's .NET build, it would generate an unsolvable "not compatible" or similar error. Here's how to solve this problem.
       
      1. Make sure you have a legal copy of the game. If your computer lacks an outer disc drive, create an ISO of your game's copy (only for your personal use! Any other use is illegal) first.
      2. If you created an ISO, move it to a flash drive (that's how I did this) or to your personal online storage. Otherwise, skip to Step 4.
      3. If you didn't have to create an ISO, skip to Step 4. Otherwise, plug your flash drive into or log into the service containing your ISO from wherever you'll install the game.
      4. Download the Alternate Installer's latest version to wherever you're installing the game then move your ISO directly to your computer (if you have one).
      5. Insert your disc/mount your ISO.
      6. Don't use the AutoPlay function. Just launch the Alternate Installer.
      7. Do a Full Install so you can delete your ISO after Setup completes/play without fear of the infamous "you have to put the CD in your computer" error appearing. Don't create a shortcut on your desktop or run the game with administrator rights either (recommended).
      8. Once Setup is done, unmount your ISO/eject your disc and go to where you installed the game (by default, it's Program Files [x86 on 64-bit Windows] directly on your hard drive).
      9. Go to Properties for CONFIG.EXE and select the Compatibility tab ("Change Settings for all Users" is recommended).
      10. Set the Compatibility OS to Windows XP (Service Pack 2) and select "Register for Restart".
      11. Apply/OK your way back to where you started.
      12. Run CONFIG.EXE to select "Advanced" then MMX Emulation. Disable the music if you want but leave everything else alone.
      13. Click OK to exit CONFIG.EXE and save your changes. Return to Rebuilder and apply your desired settings there too.
      14. Have fun on LEGO Island!

    5. Run Lego Rock Raiders on Ubuntu 17.10

      By TheOnlyCaky,
      This tutorial will show you how to run LEGO Rock Raiders on Ubuntu. This has only been tested on Ubuntu 17.10, it may work with earlier versions. Note to you nerds like me: I could not get LRR running well on Windows 10 and was ecstatic to find out that Linux ran it well! So Linux FTW!
       
      Setup
      First, you will need the files from your  LEGO Rock Raiders disk - more importantly, you need the game files. 
       
      Secondly, you will need to install wine and playonlinux.
       
      wine:
      sudo apt-get install wine-stable playonlinux:
      sudo apt-get install playonlinux
      Thirdly, you'll need the dreaded d3drm.
      Download here: d3drm
       
      Install
      1. Open playonlinux
      2. Click on install (it has a plus sign)
      3. Click on Bottom Left Link that says "Install a non-listed program"
      4. Choose "Install a new program in a virtual drive"
      5.  Pick any virtual drive name you would like. Mine is: LegoLegacy (no spaces are important)
      6.  Check the first two boxes "Use another version of wine" and "Configure wine"
      7.  Choose "System" - I only had that choice.
      8.  Choose "32 bits windows installation" - this is important it is 32 bit.
      9.  The Wine Configuration window should pop up:  Click on the Graphics tab and check the "Emulate a virtual desktop" and leave the other settings. Click "Apply" and "Ok"
      10.  The next playonlinux window will ask you where to install the file from. You need to browse to the file "Setup.exe" from your LRR CD.
      11.  Follow the installation like its 1999! - make sure to also install Direct X6 when it asks.
      12. Close out the window.
      13.  playonlinux will come up with another window asking to make a shortcut - click on "LegoRR.exe" then click next twice.
      14. It will return to that same shortcut menu, this time select "I don't want to make another shortcut"
      15. Re-open playonlinux and click on LegoRR, but before you press "Run" you need to add in the d3drm.
      `16. To do this, click on "Open the directory" around the bottom-left.
      17. Unzip the d3drm file and copy the d3drm.dll file that you just unzipped and copy it into the directory playonlinux opened for you.
      18.  Go back to playonlinux and click "Run" and choose any of the fullscreen running options.
      19. Enjoy!
    6. [Windows 11 22000.1042] Lego Rock Raiders Guide

      By Lego Rockfox,
      Good Midday to the RRU Community.
       
      Since i'm unable to continue my previous guide, i guess due to my long absence, i start a new one which is up to date and on hardware which is fully Windows 11 compatible.
       
      Sidenote: When 22H2 comes out i'll leave an update here.
       
       
       
      Tools and Images are as followed:
      #1 - 1999 German Release of Lego Rock Raiders
       
      #2 - Latest dgvoodoo (v2.79.3) and d3drm.ddl from the main website:
      http://dege.freeweb.hu/dgVoodoo2/dgVoodoo2/
       
      #3 - the LRR Masterpiece Executable from here:
       
      #4 - LRR Music Fix & the optional Music collection:
       
      #5 - (Optional) Upscaled Cutscenes:
       
       
      #6 - Lastly the Ligos Indeo Codec.
      It is still part of the system but deactivated, in order to activate it:
       
      - open a CMD as Admin.
      - cd C:\Windows\SysWOW64
      - regsvr32 ir50_32.dll
       
       
      ##########
      History:
       
      The Installation itself runs smoothly as last time.
      No specific settings required.
       
      The Cutscenes and Music also worked as intended. The only graphical issue are those red dots or lines in Mission Briefings but other than that no issues on Windows 11. 
       
      Happy Mining, Rock Raiders
    7. Back to Basics without Sonic Blasters

      By k_raider_nl,
      For anyone who still wants to complete the game in 2022 and can't get it to stop crashing, this might help:
      'Back To Basics' is a mission in the second-to-last where most players will first encounter Slimy Slugs. On my device, deploying Sonic Blasters against them would consistently crash the game. Even after implementing a community fix.
      You can find tips on the forum to stop them from spawning by keeping your crystal count below 15. I tried to do this by spawning tunnel scouts to bank my Energy Crystals but ended up crashing the game again. Another method is to turn off buildings they try to drain, as their ability only works on buildins that are activated and receiving power.
      Using this knowledge, I found another way to reliably stop slugs from appearing near your base: Slimy Slugs are not allowed to pass through buildings or climb walls. Blocking off their holes with buildings off the power grid prevents them from doing any harm. I used Small Teleporters for this, but someone should test tool stores as well.
      In the 'Back to Basics', most of the holes in the cavern you start in are near a wall. This means you only have to build two buildings to completely wall of these holes. Some of the holes are hidden and you can prevent these from activating by not opening up the caverns these are in.
      I ended up building a Support Station, then an Ore Refinery, and then building all the teleporters. Figuring out where to put the power paths and teleporters can be a bit of a puzzle in the limited space.
      You may have to destroy power paths or even relocate buildings to ensure that the teleporters are not given power.
      I really should have tested if turning the power off on those teleporters is enough to stop Slimy Slugs but I really wanted to do the mission quickly to prevent more crashes.
      If you used this strategy properly, Slimy Slugs will spawn on the holes but they are unable to move away from this tile. Their number will increase as you collect more crystals.
      The slugs prefer holes close to your base but you may end up opening caverns further away where they can spawn. If that happens, you will either need to block those off as well or rush to complete the mission before they can crawl to your base. I ended up doing the latter. So while this may not be foolproof it does allow for a margin of error when otherwise you would have no way to even slow down the slugs after collecting a certain amount of Crystals.
      You can build a new Tool Shed and destroy the old one or even destroy the Ore Refinery to force Rock Raiders to use materials nearby the farwaway building site.
      Rock Raiders with Blasters have a good chance to kill the Slimy Slugs if they are far away but the presence of other Slugs on the map may prevent them from targeting slugs that are roaming free.
       
    8. Run Rock Raiders In Windowed Mode

      By Cyrem,
      LEGO Rock Raiders was mainly designed to run in fullscreen mode. However the developers did allow the game to run within a window. This guide will show you how to run the game within a window.
       
      LEGO Rock Raiders was developed in a time when 16bit colour mode was common, but these days the majority of devices run in 32bit colour mode. To run the game in windowed mode we will actually need to be in 16bit colour mode, which is supported by all current Windows systems in some form as long as your Monitor and Graphics Card also support this lower colour mode. Below you will find sections for the most popular versions of Windows which you can follow. Afterwards, jump to the "Running the Game" section at the end of the guide.
       
       
      Windows 8 & Windows 10  
      The later versions of Windows, Microsoft introduced colour emulation on a per-application basis to support older software that cannot be run in a 32bit colour environment. This is actually quite helpful and makes things easier than in versions of Windows prior.
      Step 1
      Firstly Locate your LEGO Rock Raiders Executable file (named LegoRR.exe). This will be found in the folder where you installed the game, usually: c:\Program Files(x86)\LEGO Media\Games\Rock Raiders. Right click on this file and select "Properties" from the menu.
      Step 2
      On the Properties dialog, click the "Compatibility" tab. About midway, you will see a setting called "Reduced Colour Mode". Enable this and change it to 16 Bit.
      Step 3
      Press "Apply" to apply the new settings.
       

       
      Windows 7  
      This of Windows doesn’t support application colour emulation that newer versions support, so in order to do this we’ll need to change our monitor colour settings.
       
      Step 1
      Firstly, right-click on your Desktop and click "Screen Resolution" from the menu that appears.
       
      Step 2
      On the Screen Resolution dialog, click "Advanced Settings". (Note that if you have more than one screen you may need to make this change for both of your screens)
       
      Step 3
      On the Advanced Settings dialog, click the "Monitor" tab. Next, change "Colours" from "True Color (32 Bit)" to "High Color (16 Bit)".
       
      Step 4
      Press "Apply" to apply the new colour settings.
       

       
       
      Windows XP
      Windows XP was a great system back in the day and it will be the final version of Windows I will consider in the guide. If you're still running this as a main operating system today, I'm impressed.
       
      Step 1
      Open your Display Properties window. On many machines using Microsoft Windows you can do this by right-clicking on your desktop and selecting "properties" from the menu.
       
      Step 2
      From in that window click on the combo box which has the text "Highest (32 bit)" and select "Medium (16 bit)" from the list.
       
      Step 3
      Press "Apply" to apply the new colour settings.
       


       
      Running the Game
      Alright, you're set and ready to Rock Raiders! Now all we have to do is run the game in Windowed Mode. To do this, go to the LEGO Rock Raiders folder usually located in "c:\Program Files(x86)\LEGO Media\Games\Rock Raiders" and double click on the "LegoRR.exe" file, this is the game.
       
      Next you will notice a window popup with game display properties. On the left select the "Window" option from the list. Then click "OK" to run the game.
       

       
      Final Notes
      Hopefully this has helped you run your game. There are however to important notes to consider. First, don't run the game from either of the Shortcuts created by the game's installer, this will bypass the "Mode Selection" Window. Secondly, if the "OK" button is disabled after clicking "Window", it means you haven't correctly set/run the game in 16bit colour mode, go back through the steps above to try again.
       
    9. Your Master Guide to get LRR to run

      By aidenpons,
      Most people these days are running Win10. If you are running an older OS, the process is much the same. If you're on Linux or Mac, this guide doesn't incorporate that yet.
       
      This isn't the One Guide to Rule them All, although it may become that eventually: this is merely an amalgamation of a lot of stuff around the forum in one easily-findable place. Hopefully it'll be updated to all the stuff around the forum as I do so (anybody with mod powers is welcome to edit this and add things).
      Hopefully it'll also contain a few more pictures as time goes on.
       
       
      Step #0: Do you even have a CD & a CD drive?
      I imagine there are a number of categories people fall into:
      - Those that have a legitimate CD back from whenever that still works. You might not have a CD drive for it, though
      - Those that had a CD, and it's scratched
      - Those that never had a CD and want to see what LRR's all about
      To those not in the first category, RRU doesn't condone piracy. We won't host a download link of Lego Rock Raiders here. But if you're looking for one... they're, uh, not very hard to find.
      So if you have an .iso - which there are a couple of legitimate ways you could actually get one - and you don't know what to do with it, the tool WinCDEmu will be able to get the .iso to load:
      https://wincdemu.sysprogs.org/
      From that it probably won't install but at least the next step will allow you to get the files off the virtual CD...
       
      Step #1: Does the game install fine?
      Don’t install it into Program Files: move it somewhere else. Win10 hates you editing Program Files, even sometimes when as an admin: just install it to C:\Games or something like that.
      Yes: Huzzah, continue!
      No: Give this a go:
      https://www.rockraidersunited.com/topic/3904-lego-media-alternate-installers/
      or direct link: https://github.com/le717/Rock-Raiders-Alternate-Installer/releases
      Does that not work / prove too complicated? Try out the ultra-manual way of installing LRR, copying the files off the disk by hand:
      https://www.rockraidersunited.com/topic/2843-installer-not-working-you-can-salvage-your-game/
      That guide mentions pointing Universal Extractor to data.cab - I got better results by pointing it to data1.hdr . Just point it to all the files! and you should be fine.
      While you're here, make a backup of all the files; coping the CD files to your hard drive may also be a good idea. Also while you're here, you can delete the shortcuts the default installer likes to put on the desktop: they won't immediately be helping us.
      Minus the Useful Files folder and the LegoRR.exe - Shortcut , the installation should look like this:

       
       
      Step #2: What is the size of LegoRR.icd?
      0 kB: Congratulations, you have the DRM-free copy of LRR. This means it’ll actually run on Win10. (Like mine is, in the above screenshot).
      720 kB or anything else: This means LRR needs the disk to run via Safedisc and because Safedisc support was taken out for Win10, you won’t be able to run this executable: but we still have a solution! Download this:
      https://www.rockraidersunited.com/files/lego_rock_raiders/resources/lrr-masterpiece-edition-exe-r249/
      and replace your existing LegoRR.exe and LegoRR.icd with that.
       
      Step #3: Does LegoRR do something by running LegoRR.exe?
      Yes: Hooray!
      Somewhat: is it complaining about missing d3drm.dll?
      Curiously the d3drm.dll provided on the (or at least my disk) isn’t actually the one LRR wants... I got it off my Lego Island 1 disk and it worked fine. We have uploaded it for you here:
      https://www.rockraidersunited.com/files/lego_rock_raiders/resources/d3drm-r53/
      Unzip that and move d3drm.dll so it’s sitting next to your LegoRR.exe executable (like in the screenshots below).
       
      No: Does it do absolutely nothing? Something must have gone wrong in step #1 or #2. Also, don't launch it by the shortcuts on your desktop, as those have command line parameters that aren't useful right now. I reccomend just right-clicking LegoRR.exe and selecting Create Shortcut.
      At the very least you should be presented with a box like this. If you aren't, check #1 and #2 again, and if it still does nothing - that's what this forum is for!
      By the way, this box doesn't show up in your taskbar and if you click out of it has a nasty habit of hiding behind other windows. If you lost it, press Windows+D to minimise all windows, then click on any other window to open it - this box will also magically pop up again.
       
      But wait, all the buttons are greyed out! This guide is the most comprehensive in what to do: https://www.rockraidersunited.com/guides/run-rock-raiders-in-windowed-mode-r3/ Sure, it's about windowed mode, but the important thing is to change the colour settings. Here's what that guide says you need to do if you're on Win10 (other OSes available and more technical details in the guide; this is just a short summary)
      Right-click LegoRR.exe, go to the Compatibility tab, click Reduced Colour Mode, and change that to 16-bit. You don't actually need compatibility for XP or admin, interestingly enough (although it doesn't hurt to have them on!). Like this:
       
      And the result should look like this, and you should now be able to launch LRR!
       
       
      By the way, don't use RGB Emulation: it has literally never worked for anyone in the history of LRR. Sure, it launches, but it will always crash within the minute. Direct3D HAL is what we want.

       
       
       
      Step #4: Does the game unplayably lag?
      Or any other sort of general visual that makes the game literally unplayable
      No: Lucky you. Everyone else I know of has this problem.
       
      Yes:  This guide explains what you need to do: https://www.rockraidersunited.com/guides/lego-rock-raiders/run-lego-rock-raiders-with-dgvoodoo-r7/
       
      Yes, Option 2: In addition to dgVoodoo there's also ddrawcompat. I know nothing on the technical knowledge of this, but wander over to here:
      https://www.rockraidersunited.com/guides/run-lego-rock-raiders-with-dgvoodoo-r7/?do=findComment&comment=250
      which will redirect you to here:
      https://github.com/narzoul/DDrawCompat/releases/tag/experimental
      Grab the experimental - yes, go one step ahead of the stable and grab the experimental - download. Place the resulting ddraw.dll in your LRR directory, and run LRR.
      Don't run dgVoodoo and ddraw at the same time, you only need one. I don't know a lot about the technical way either of them work. Feel free to toy around!
       
       
       
       
       
      At this point the game should be playable. It might be in the wrong language, the sound isn’t playing, cutscenes don’t exist, etc; but at the least it should be running and playable.
       
       
       
      Step #5: [Optional] Do you want to run the game in windowed mode?
      Windowed mode allows you to check any other application without having to alt+tab, which LRR handles very poorly. Additionally, windowed mode can fix a bunch of silly stuff LRR does - it's more reliable than fullscreen.
      https://www.rockraidersunited.com/guides/run-rock-raiders-in-windowed-mode-r3/
       
       
      Now onto troubleshooting!
       
       
      Problem #1: The game isn’t in the language I want
      Currently the only translation pack we have is in English. If you have LRR in another language, even if you don’t want it, you might want to upload it to the Files database (a more rigorous system (perhaps a language switcher in Cafeteria?) can be implemented later).
      https://www.rockraidersunited.com/files/lego_rock_raiders/resources/english-lrr-pack-r301/
      Download that, unzip, and merge the Data folder and overwrite LegoRR1.wad
       
      Other languages? This is still a WIP. There might be some way to get them off the disk? Try Universal Extractor and open any .cab files you see with that:
      https://www.legroom.net/software/uniextract
       
       
      Problem #2: The cutscenes aren’t playing
      If you still have the disc, you can copy them from Data\AVI on the disk to Data\AVI in your LRR directory. Alternatively, download them here:
      https://www.rockraidersunited.com/files/lego_rock_raiders/resources/rock-raiders-avi-cutscenes-r296/
      and extract those into your Data\AVI folder.
      You may also need to download and install this, the codec for playing the videos:
      https://www.rockraidersunited.com/files/lego_rock_raiders/resources/indeo-iv50-avi-codec-r111/
      but I am unsure how necessary this is.
       
       
      Problem #3: The game crashes on any non-tutorial level start
      I’m not sure how common this problem is anymore. However it might yet be an issue.
      This may be because the game is trying to play the cutscenes, which in LRR sometimes crash the game. Fortunately this can be disabled very easily with mods (DontPlayAVIs TRUE), and for your convenience this has also been uploaded for English:
      https://oresome.rockraidersunited.com/download/233
      Overwrite your existing LegoRR1.wad with that download.
       
       
      Problem #4: The in-level music isn’t playing
      I actually never realised LRR had music until topics on the forum popped up about it…
      We have a guide for this too!
      https://www.rockraidersunited.com/guides/lrr-music-without-cd-fix-r11/
      Alternatively, you can download the music files from here:
      https://www.rockraidersunited.com/files/lego_rock_raiders/resources/lrr-music-collection-ogg-r259/
      and just put them in VLC or Windows Media Player in the background.
       
      Problem #5: The main menu music isn't playing
      Curiously the fix for this is totally different to the fix for the in-game music. For some reason the music files in the .cab data files are corrupted. This means that if you installed your game manually by extracting the cab, the music files will show up in Data\Sounds: but they'll be entirely unable to be played by the game or something like VLC media player, if you try.

      However, on the disk, the files under Data\Sounds aren't corrupted.
      So copy stats.wav and atsmodel.wav from [CD]\Data\Sounds to [YourLRRInstallation]\Data\Sounds and it should work when you start the game!
      Don't have a CD? They're here on RRU for your convenience: https://www.rockraidersunited.com/files/lego_rock_raiders/resources/atmosdel-and-statswav-r323/ 
       
       
      Problem #6: Chief’s Briefings don’t play, but the files are all intact
      1. Backup LegoRR1.wad.
      2. Extract LegoRR1.wad with the Wad Recycler: https://www.rockraidersunited.com/topic/3742-wad-recycler-2/
      3. Open LegoRR.cfg and search "@Sounds"
      4. This should jump you to heaps of properties defining sound file paths. Now, to make them work you need to remove all the '@' symbols from the start of the sound file paths.
      5. Run search and replace to remove all the '@' symbols.
      6. Save and rebuild your LegoRR1.wad file.
       
      Problem #7: Black screen on any tutorial level & when you find the Tool Store
      I have no clue why this happens, but sometimes when a script camera function is called (usually SetCameraGotoTutorial, but CameraLockOnObject will also do it) the screen blacks out (the camera seems to go to NaN...?). The bad news is that there's nothing you can do about this. (I guess I could make a mod that removes that from the script...) The good news is that this only affects the tutorial levels, the very first level (Driller Night), and the next 'central' level, Frozen Frenzy: and Frozen Frenzy will only blackscreen at the end just before you win.
      Fortunately there's a way to bypass Driller Night: if you use the -programmer command line parameter with LRR, or enable debug keys via any other method (eg Cafeteria or mods), debug keys are enabled: and these include Ctrl+S to instantly win the level (and also break the sound a bit in the process). Thus you can then save and continue with LRR as normal.
       
      There's no way to recover the tutorial levels though. Fortunately you'll learn all you need to know through regular gameplay (the tutorials don't even tell you about recharging crystals, erosion, lasers, upgrading vehicles, reinforcing...). If you're really desperate to hear Chief's calming voice, you can unpack your .WAD files (see Modding section below), and navigate to LegoRR1\Sounds\Streamed\Training\ and then Chief's voice lines are in the folders there. The text for the messages, if you would prefer to read them, is the .txt file in LegoRR1\Levels\TutorialLevels\<tutorial-you-want>
       
       
      Problem #8: My problem isn’t listed!
      Make a forum post! Google! Or wait for me to repopulate this list with less common issues (not recommended...)
       
       
       
       
      I want to get into modding!
      The first step in any LRR modding is to unpack your .WAD files. I recommend the Wad Recycler:
      https://www.rockraidersunited.com/topic/3742-wad-recycler-2/
       
      If you want to use .wad files for your mods, you can recompile the wads each time. Alternatively, you can run without any wads: move the contents of the new folders LegoRR0 and LegoRR1 under Data (so the Data folder contains stuff like a folder called AVI, a folder called Vehicles, a folder called Sounds, Lego.cfg…). This makes modding to test things much quicker, as you can edit level files without needing to restart LRR.
       
      The topic is a little old, but mostly correct (save for priorities and a little bit of level scripting), and outlines what can and cannot be modded with LRR:
      https://www.rockraidersunited.com/topic/3252-things-we-know-about-modding-lrr/
       
      Tools you’ll likely need include Notepad++ (Notepad, but better, and also free). If you want to do map creating, you’ll need
      Map Creator: https://www.rockraidersunited.com/topic/630-map-creator-0910/ , used for creating map data
      NPL Scripter: https://www.rockraidersunited.com/topic/2143-npl-scripter-v21-update/ , used for creating level scripts (predominately “collect X crystals to win,” but we can do much more than that… https://kb.rockraidersunited.com/Writing_NERP_Scripts
       
      Cafeteria also allows you to create patches which resolve all the incompatibility issues you could ever dream of, though that's far beyond the scope of this guide, though I will link Cafeteria:
      https://www.rockraidersunited.com/topic/4521-cafeteria-10-beta-7-launcher-mod-loader-for-lrr/
      and its patch documentation (not always 100% up to date, just refer to a patch like CE:Core instead)

    10. Rock Raiders Music without CD Fix

      By Cyrem,
      Rock Raiders without music has long been an issue, but following this small guide will restore the music back into the game and you won’t even need the game CD or any other audio disc.
      How Does it Work?
      LEGO Rock Raiders uses Media Control Interface (MCI) calls to play tracks from the CD-ROM. This is done through the Windows Multimedia API (winmm) which comes standard with all Windows installations. Since we want to play music without the disc we essentially need to re-route those calls from LRR to our own version of "winmm" which plays OGG files from the Music folder.
      This fix is based on Toni Spets' OGG winmm wrapper which I have modified to suite LRR.
       
      Applying the Fix
      To begin, download the Music Fix which contains all the necessary files you’ll need for this guide. The download also includes the 3 songs from the PC game in case your copy was one of those missing the audio track on your CD-ROM.
      Inside the ZIP file you downloaded, there will be 4 DLL files and a ‘Music’ folder containing 3 songs. Extract all these files and folders into your Rock Raiders installation directory (alongside LegoRR.exe). Your LRR should look something like this afterward.
       

       
      Thats all there is to it! If you run the game music should now begin playing after dismissing the “Mission Brief” on all game levels. If you wish to have all the music from the LEGO Rock Raiders games, download the music collection.
      All the music files are located in the "Music" folder, these files must be OGG files and must be named "Trackxx.ogg" (replace xx with any number from 00 - 98). If you would like to play your own music, there are OGG convertors online, or programs such as Audacity which will convert other audio formats to OGG.
      Enjoy
