Game Extractor has had the ability to extract LEGO Digital Designer LIF files for a while, but since Game Extractor isn't very stable, I wrote my own LIF extractor in Python. The download contains the Python source file for use with a python interpreter, as well as Windows 32 bit and Windows 64 bit executables. Download LIF Extractor GitHub For those of you who will probably ignore the Readme.txt file entirely, here's the information on it: You accept full responsibility for how you use this program. This program is released under GNU GPLv3. LIF Extractor is a command line utility for extracting the LIF files found in LEGO Digital Designer. It will extract all files contained inside the LIF archives, into folders adjacent to the archive it was called on. The LIFExtractor.py file requires a python installation to run. The executables found in the folders have no dependencies. Choose the proper folder for your operating system. The Python script has been tested to work on Python versions 2.7 through 3.2. To extract LIF files, pass the path to the LIF files as command line arguments to the program. On Windows, this can be done by dragging and dropping the LIF files onto the LIFExtractor.exe icon in the explorer window. This program was created to allow for interoperability with the LEGO Digital Designer formats. In order to properly read the LEGO Digital Designer formats, it is necessary to access the data contained with the LIF file archives.

LEGO Racers 2 Custom Music Tutorial History Requirements LEGO Racers 2 or LEGO Drome Racers, since this tutorial works in both. However, I will be using LEGO Racers 2 for the tutorial. The newest release of Audacity (I am doing these steps on Windows, other platforms should be similar). You can use any other audio editor as long as it supports the required file format. List of sound file names you want to change. Some sounds to serve as replacements for the originals. Got everything? Then it's time to start modding! Directions Find a piece of music that want in-game and import it into Audacity. For this step, you get to choose which action to take. The original game music uses 22050 Hz audio, but the engine also supports 44100 Hz audio, which allows for your music to be of higher quality. If you want to recreate the original audio format exactly or your audio is not already 22050 or 44100 Hz, follow the steps below, substituting your desired value. Otherwise, if your audio is already in one of those frequencies, skip down to step 4. Change the Project Hertz (Hz) drop down menu from 44100 to 22050. Select all your audio (<Ctrl + a>), go to Tracks>Resample, select 22050 in the resulting dialog, and press OK. When that is done, click File>Export and select Other uncompressed files from the Save as type box. Click Options in the same box as above, and in the resulting box, choose WAV (Microsoft) from the Header menu. In the same box, in the Encoding area, select Microsoft ADPCM Click OK, & Save. Browse to your LEGO Racers 2 installation and go to the game datamusic folder (NOTE: If you have extracted GAMEDATA.GTC, this is the game data folder that was present before you extracted the archive.) Consulting readme.txt, locate the piece(s) of music that you want to change, and rename the music in the folder to something so you know what it is (I add REAL to the file name). Copy you custom music to the game files, (if you did not export the music there) and rename it the correct name (“menu.1″ for example). Launch LEGO Racers 2, and enjoy the custom music! Video

Could we give him everything but the EXE? We already do that here with overhaul mods.

To the notepad discussion Just use Notepad++ Much better than all of those others combined
