I have managed to extract some of the uncompressed files packed into the Drome archive. Check it out (they're the menu option select and cancel sound effects): GAME DATASOUNDSSELECT.AIF GAME DATASOUNDSCANCEL.AIF Here's what I've learned: GAME DATASOUNDSSELECT.AIF & GAME DATASOUNDSCANCEL.AIF are both contained in byte block 12 (0 indexed, so the 13th block or the 1st uncompressed block) referenced by compress.inf. They start with the header FORM and are normal AIF files (the OS X Terminal file command describes them as "IFF data, AIFF audio"). Their exact offsets and sizes in gamedata.gtc are: NAME - OFFSET - SIZE GAME DATASOUNDSSELECT.AIF - 487424 - 60362 GAME DATASOUNDSCANCEL.AIF - 548864 - 27028 A quick comparison between filelist.inf shows some interesting information: File Path - Data A - Data B GAME DATASOUNDSSELECT.AIF - 1613824 - 60362 GAME DATASOUNDSCANCEL.AIF - 1675264 - 27028 Between the 2 files, there are 1087 0xC7 bytes, exactly the number of bytes filelist.inf skips over in it's pointers (1613824 + 60362 + 1078 = 1675264). This means that Data B represents the file size of the file. However, Data A doesn't point directly to the file in the compressed GTC. Here's how the file appears to be constructed prior to compression. [FILEBYTES] [A bunch of 0xC7 bytes] [FILEBYTES] [A bunch of 0xC7 bytes] [FILEBYTES] [A bunch of 0xC7 bytes] ... ... ... Then, all of that gets compressed down in block of 131072 bytes (which is the true uncompressed size of each block referenced by compress.inf) and merged together. Now here is my proof for this theory. filelist.inf puts GAME DATASOUNDSSELECT.AIF at offset 1613824, but the actual file location is much sooner. This is because the 12 blocks before the block SELECT.AIF is in are compressed, making it appear sooner in the compressed gamedata.gtc. If those 12 blocks were 131072 in size, and we added SELECT.AIF's offset from the start of the uncompressed block it appears in, that would calculate out as follows: 131072 * 12 = 1572864 + 40960 = 1613824 Which is the exact same place filelist.inf said it would be. So, this means that, in order for us to properly extract all of the files, we will need to first decompress every one of the compressed blocks back up to their original 131072 byte size, merge them together (as files sometimes span more than 1 block), then extract them from the information in filelist.inf. Of course, decompressing them is easier to say than to do, but we now know that each block is compressed separately and the size they should be when decompressed. My dissection tool above breaks each of these blocks down into separate files which should make this process easier. On the plus side, we now know for certain that we won't need to make a recompressor. We also know that at least some of the files are normal files. I can confirm that the AIF files are true AIF files, and that the IFL files are plain Windows style line feed text files. It's reasonable to assume that more of the files aren't custom files like in LEGO Racers. I don't foresee having time to try to crack the compression algorithm in the near future, so if anyone else wants to give it a go, feel free!

Then I believe this would be a nice place for you to stay. As you can see, this place is pretty busy. :rruftw:

... Did you even read the titles of or watch the videos you posted? :|

Good sir, Would you mind making this browse for single files, this tool would be useful for comparing other LEGO Game files Your wish is my command: http://will.kirk.by/uploads/rru/FileChecksummer.zip :)

Since I own several LRR releases and thanks to Origamiguy's little checksum tool, I decided to make a differences topic like that of the LEGO Racers one. I'll try to get pictures of these soon.

From this information you will notice a couple of things things: The SelectSoft Re-Release is the best version of LRR. No Disc Required and it has the audio track burnt. Reflex, FocusMM and Dice re-releases do not have a audio track burnt. This means there is no game music in these versions!

https://ore.rockraidersunited.org/legacy/Mod_Map_HellsRivers_170519.zip There. A map. Go play. replace Rocky Horror with it, nothing else edited except for the following: go to the cfg and set the erode speed to the same rate it is in Don't Panic (or whatever the name was of that stage where the lava was on meth and you had to get 5 dudes out and lava monsters ran everywhere). Backstory: get 50 crystals, don't die blah blah blah Difficulty: kill yourself now. You'll want to anyway after you royally screw yourself the first two or three times. Other stuff: Yes, I did that on purpose. IT AIN'T. A BUG. Okay I think I fixed it. edit: Okay I just realized that I might have left the files with the _01 suffix, which would tempt you to place it in level one. Don't do that. Change it to 25 (the last level was 25, right?). Put it there. yes. do that.

Please tell me how a theme park ride is "Lego Racers beta"

Nope never heard of them, nor can I find info on them.

Then I believe this would be a nice place for you to stay. As you can see, this place is pretty busy. Do my eyes deceive me? I haven't seen 'RRU FTW!!!!' used for ages *It's a glorious day face* Now I feel like adding those extra games...

but i knew that some peoples dont actually know about it. even if one person didn`t know, im glad i helped.

Oh joy, MORE complete idiots yammering about how this is going to be the 2nd Lego game with voice acting, even though it's not. More nincombots gabbling spew about their lack of knowledge of anything before they were born. More half-pissed comments of utter stupidity. Oh, I am SO EXCITED.

dude, i think you are really new here. you can export all the data from the WAD's. it includes sounds, textures, models and more!
