too big... It's best we both leave right now... and never return to this topic.

Add some capital letters and who knows, someone might actually read that bunch of text :whistle:

*i saw youtube peoples didnt know about this shortcut so i just wanted to show you*

I am now going to upload some footage of Drome Racers for the GameCube, because Jamesster asked nicely. Could you possibly get some video of it up on YouTube? The GameCube version of Drome Racers is quite different from the other ports, I played it at a friend's house once last year, and aside from the reworked menus, it also has a power-up or two not in other versions of the game (like a shield power-up), an exclusive two-player battle mode that uses unique cars and arenas, and probably some other differences/extra content (I didn't get to play it all that long before we moved on to something else). Reason it's not in the thread right now, is because it's post-processing right now. When that's done, and uploaded to YouTube, I'll update this post. I just wanted to have the topic posted so it's not bothering me. Currently being uploaded, I'll embed the video after it's finished uploading. Here it is. (No idea how to embed)

So here it goes. I was doing all my daily reading of HEX and things, bit of testing here... bit of testing there. I was looking at the file listing of DR and I noticed a file named "DEVELOPER.CFG". I thought. Back I went looking at the GTC to try and make out what the file contained. I made out that it was an INI file and that the first key was probably "[CORE INIT]". I also saw the word "DEBUG". So I made a CFG file in the same path as the original is in the GTC in hopes it may override it. I put in the info hoping that it might result in at least an error with some useful info. So started the game, nothing changed which wasn't really a suprise. So I quit the game and went back to the CFG I wrote. Then a miracle happened.... The game overwrote my invalid ini entries with the full set of default entries. So now I have the full uncompressed Developer.cfg file. I tried changing some entries, but the game keeps writing them back to the default values. Then I tried something else. It had a "DevelopersName" variable. I put in "Henry" just for kicks.... started the game... nothing happened then I quit. The game again wrote to the file... but instead it wrote a CFG setup for a "Steve" which had all different values in it. Now, "Steve" is one of the programmers for the game. Sample: (Yes I tried turning the debug ones on) [cCore, INIT, SINT32] (0 .. 5) TrackVariation = 1 [cCore, INIT, STRING] (24) DeveloperName = "Default" [cCore, INIT, STRING] (100) MapName = "" [cCore, INIT, STRING] (100) Language = "British" [cCore, INIT, STRING] (100) StartupScript = "empty" [cCore, DEBUG, SINT32] (0 .. 1) AllowAllDebug = 1 [cCore, DEBUG, SINT32] (0 .. 1) cSanitaryTextDebug = 0 [cCore, DEBUG, SINT32] (0 .. 1) cConsoleDebugCom = 0 [cCore, DEBUG, SINT32] (0 .. 1) cControllerDebug = 0 [cCore, DEBUG, SINT32] (0 .. 1) cConfigDebug = 0 [cCore, DEBUG, SINT32] (0 .. 1) cVMDebug = 0 [cCore, DEBUG, SINT32] (0 .. 1) KarmaDebug = 0 [cCore, RENDER, SINT32] (0 .. 1) rRenderGemSpline = 0 [cCore, RENDER, SINT32] (0 .. 1) VisRender = 1 [cCore, CONTROLCAR, STRING] (24) ControlCar = "car 0" [cCore, DEFGROUP, SINT32] (0 .. 64) DefaultGroup = 18 Here are the 2 complete CFG's: https://www.rockraidersunited.com/files/dl-r430/ What does this mean? - I have now confirmed where the decompressed file size is located (this applies to LR2 also) - Now knowing the compressed and decompressed state of a file, this should make finding out what the compression is much easier. This effects LEGO Racers also provided they use the exact same compression. - We got a sample of a developers configuration setup. And yes, I checked LR2 to see if it also had a CFG, but it doesn't.

Embed it by putting the url in the tag (and remove the &feature + whatever junk at the end of it). I noticed how it said "lap record" out loud, unlike the PC version.

I didn't know of it for one, but then, I never use the shortcuts anyway.

You're joking right? D8

This wasn't that secret, or ultimate.

Please show me one topic on this site (or any site) where someone had to do that to receive help with their game.

That was quite hilarious, good LP :)
