So, while building a MOC this morning, several of my black V-sockets snapped in multiple ways. The plus-rod whole on the bottom snapped off from one, the socket part actually shattered off on another, and one of them just snapped in half, and I'm left like

And I was like

Last year, I received a prototype Sahmad helmet from BZPower at BrickFair Virginia. It's really fun to have.

In my spare time, I decided to build something goofy. I try to keep most of my MOCs serious, so I think this looks pretty goofy in comparison with my other MOCs

He did complete it. See embedded gif.

D'aww, it's like a mixel wandered into hero factory. I applaud you for not only making such an unusual build, but also a cute one. I like his stubby little arms!

>LINK< One of my older builds, and one of my favorites, probably because of the bulk factor.

MLN is awesome. Okay, so there are several areas it could have been improved, but it was an awesome part of my LEGOhood. Having said that, I've pretty much given up trying to finish it (as I said previously). Getting the parts for the cottage masterpiece is blegh.

I HAVE BUILT A BOX! IT SHALL KEEP ALL LIONS, EAGLES, AND GORILLAS AWAY! IT TOOK THOUSANDS OF YEARS AN HOUR, AND MANY MEN JAL DIED IN THE PROCESS, BUT IT HAS BEEN BUILT! IT SHALL STAY UNTIL THE CONTENTS THEREIN ARE COMPLETE. UNTIL THEN, DO NOT DARE ENTER THE BOX!!! or else!!!!!!!!!!!! Yup, I killed the skyline and scenery. There are other signs I did not take a picture of as well.

You bumped a thread. 2 years old. To ask a question. Where the answer is already RIGHT in front of you. Without even testing to see if it worked first. Which it actually does. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyU1a4c1Tdk What's wrong with you?!

NEW BIOME My goal for the biomes is around 15 biomes - 12 biomes more than vanilla Lego RR. One thing I've been doing my best with is trying to make my new biomes fit in with the Lego Rock Raiders aesthetic and quality, so it's very important to me that I get things looking polished. If anyone has any criticisms/suggestions on these biomes, please let me know. Now, there's the RockFallStyle issue I've not been able to resolve. It looks like I might only be able to have 4 RockFallStyles in the game. If this is indeed the case, then I have a way to work around it without looking totally like crap. Colors. They will be based off of color. I wrote up a quick thing for reference for myself: The colors need to match the biomes reasonably well. And this thing: This is a stalagmite. My hope is that one day, stalagmites and other scenery objects will repopulate the desolate ground tiles of Lego Rock Raiders.

Update: I've decided to make a 2.0 of this mod. Although I can't say much right now, I intend to do the following: -New biomes -Spider, Scorpions, Snake enabled -Landslides don't instantly kill Rock Raiders (but are still damaging) -Environmental props/scenery (need someone who has Lightwave 8 so I can convert to Lightwave 5 from .OBJ) -More sound effect changes/additions -Modifying the GUI, but not yet sure of the extent -Overhauling map selection screen in order to add more maps -New maps -MAYBE new voice-overs -New creatures (mostly monsters, though, for specific biomes) Some screenshots will be coming within a week. ______________________________ NEW BIOME ______________________________ NEW MAP: Round the Rocks This is the first unique map I've created for Lego Rock Raiders. It's actually really generic, in that the only real goal is to navigate through a maze of hard rock to find an area rich in energy crystals nearby. I hope to make better use of NERPS in the future to create some more interesting objectives. I designed this map specifically for the Rock biome, and it contains some native Rock Monsters and large spiders as well as a flock of bats and some awkwardly placed energy crystals (an issue I will remedy soon).

Getting Started: Environment ( Contents / Previous / Next ) Preparation Now that you know what you can do and have downloaded the required tools; it is time to start preparing a modding environment. Setting up the mod environment is required because if you don't you could easily forget the mods you have made and could wind up with a game that won't start and you won't know why. So please take the time to setup the environment. The first thing you will need to do is make a backup of the LEGO Rock Raiders game directory. This is very important so we can keep our modded game separate from the original. If you have installed to the default installation directory you can find the folder in C:\Program Files\LEGO Media\Games\Rock Raiders . If you can't find the folder there try doing a search for LegoRR.exe and that should lead you to the correct folder. Next, copy the whole Rock Raiders folder and paste it in the same place. This will create a copy of that folder. Rename the folder to Rock Raiders (Modded) or any other name you please. Next up, we will create a shortcut the will unlock all the game levels. The point of this is so that when you are modding you can test you mods on different levels without having to unlock them. We are going to create this shortcut in your Rock Raiders (Modded) folder, so go into there. Now, single click on LegoRR.exe so that it is highlighted then press (ALT) and drag and drop the file in the same folder. This will create a shortcut to that file. Rename the shortcut to LegoRR - Levels Unlocked. After that, right click on the shortcut and choose 'Properties' from the menu that appears. In the "Target" text field on the "Shortcut" tab you will see a path to LegoRR.exe with quotes around it. After the closing quote type in: -testlevels (Don't put quotes around this part.) and click "Ok" to close the dialogue. To test that you did this correctly, run the game from that shortcut and the game levels should all be unlocked.
