1 - Take LU beta client 2 - Swap out minifigure model/textures with edited versions 3 - Replace or remove login animation(s, optional) 4 - Launch client 5 - Profit Anyway, have an Imperial Soldier. Video this time because the animations give them a lot of life. Torso texture edited from one of the ones here: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=123627 Edit: M-Tron astronaut, also an unused idle animation. Torso texture edited from this. LU devs would have raised the visor and made it opaque and one with the helmet model, like this, because draw calls and stuff. I don't have to go to such lengths.

[8/10/14 7:15:31 PM] jamesster: I left the computer running with some loader dozers running around for a while [8/10/14 7:15:36 PM] jamesster: like roombas [8/10/14 7:15:42 PM] jamesster: but with rubble

There's not enough hype in this thread. We gotta celebrate LEGO making a good decision.

[5:54:27 PM] Noghiri: Jamesster, interested in MW4 as soon as I get my stick set up? [5:54:48 PM] jamesster: ... um. [5:55:03 PM] jamesster: is that a euphemism [5:55:16 PM] Hugh Wotmeigh: [5:55:31 PM] Hugh Wotmeigh: He's gotta polish the pole first. [5:55:52 PM] Ciprian: Polish poles. [5:55:54 PM] Ciprian: ... [5:55:58 PM] Ciprian: Extreme, why you do this. [5:56:12 PM] Hugh Wotmeigh: Because I'm a Pole. [5:56:24 PM] Ciprian: But are you a Polish Pole? [5:58:44 PM] Hugh Wotmeigh: (I can't speak, I'm a pole) [6:00:07 PM] Noghiri: flight stick, James. [6:00:50 PM] jamesster: wow [6:01:24 PM] Hugh Wotmeigh: He's going high [6:02:23 PM] Noghiri: flight stick with weapons trigger systems, throttle, yaw, and hat? [6:03:13 PM] Noghiri: currently in Doc's teamspeak [6:03:49 PM] jamesster: I'm 100% sure this is a euphemism [6:04:35 PM] Alcom Isst: Don't get me started on my Thrustmaster. [6:04:56 PM] Hugh Wotmeigh: Because Alcom needs all the help he can get.

I haxed a Time Twister into a dead MMO. More probably coming sometime later, ideas welcome. What am I doing with my life. Torso texture is from Return to Blockland something something, thanks to whoever did that. The rest is LU stuff. NifSkope for model tweaking (adding the hat to a minifigure model), Paint.net for texture editing. Injected into a beta version of the game's login screen (though if beta builds worked properly with the "private servers" you could in theory actually get this guy to appear in a world as a proper NPC, too - alternately, get past the live game's anti-hax system, which I don't have the patience for). Yeah I know the hat's a slightly different shade than the body but if LU devs could be that lazy with official character models/textures so can I. There's also some minor editing goofs in the screenshots. Don't quite care about that right now either. First person to ask "how u stil play LU" gets shot with a Rank 3 Inventor's beehive and then pissed on. Further questioning will just result in the pissing bit. Edit: Classic Johnny Thunder. RTB textures again.

You're cutting it a little close there mate

Here is a accurate* representation of the current state of RRU as of August 09 2014. *And by accurate i mean 10%, but its still accurate because RRU

That's quite botanical. The next step will be to turn Berg into a salad, and then we can have "EGG-O Harvest".

Enhanced Rock Raider Skins This is a skin re-make of the original Rock Raiders. The original skins were 64x64px in size where-as these new ones are 256x256px.

Everyone would have noticed how low quality the Rock Raiders are in 3rd Person view. This graphics mod changes this so that the high poly model is always in use. I hope you like it! Download (1.1 - Cafeteria Patch)

I don't know about you, but I really dislike playing in windowed mode, especially in games that are (surprisingly) atmospheric. I thought I'd share my workaround with the site if anyone wants to see what I do. This is what I have the game looking like on my machine: As you can see, it looks quite a bit like a full-screen game maintaining aspect-ratio. I find the black space around the window much less distracting than a wallpaper or miscellaneous icons. To achieve this, first, set the wallpaper either completely black or mostly black. This is the wallpaper I made to go with the game. The game window covers up the crystals. Similarly, you'll want to make sure all your icons are hidden as well. Right click the desktop and go to View > Show desktop icons. A much better idea. Next, you need to right-click on the desktop, go to Personalize > Color, and choose a grey color. Then turn the intensity all the way up and the brightness all the way down. This will change the edges of the window so they match the background, further adding to the illusion of a window-less game. Also, if this is too much work for every time you want to play Rock Raiders, you can save the color and background by finding Personalize > Save Theme. You can then quickly double click the theme and it will set all this up automatically. Finally, right-click the taskbar, go to Properties, and check Auto-Hide the Taskbar to make that go away. Also, you can change the resolution settings by right-clicking the desktop and choosing Screen Resolutions. If you set up Cafeteria, you probably won't need to do this but if not, click Advanced Settings > List all modes > 800x600, True Color (32 bit), 60 hertz I don't know if this is at all helpful, or if anyone really cares, but I find it much more enjoyable playing like this so I thought I'd annoy everyone else with it.

This is what happened when I got two shockwave power-ups in a row and used them immediately. Run, Cassie, Run!

Recently Xiron >brought to my attention the presence of another verison of Drome Racers for PC. As it turns out, there are at least two different copies of Drome Racers. The EXE, GTC, and INF files are all minorly different between the two version. The Short Overview Older, DRM Safedisc V2.80.010 DRM Built on 11-06-02 Has a splash screen during CD verification. New, No DRM No DRM Build on 11-22-02 Has an opening language select screen. How do you tell which version you have? If you can't play without the CD or have this splash screen, you have the Older, DRM version. You can also check the file date modified. In-Depth Overview Now for the in-depth comparison. File Hashes Older, DRM MD5 (Drome Racers.exe) = 72bc75fdf109ca5a28a61d511576bb10 MD5 (GameData.gtc) = 348ae09fda76d7a2812e17e5b8c3e9bd MD5 (FileList.Inf) = c5b358427532bd087bd8f188f3d89aaf MD5 (Compress.inf) = f72270887e56af2bd34cb1ee57176ea7 Newer, No DRM MD5 (Drome Racers.exe) = a2225ae635a2879d8e1037b08048bef3 MD5 (GameData.gtc) = 15191588a041f342f325e29f1137f935 MD5 (FileList.Inf) = f76dd41eee1053e9fa4db52104c7203b MD5 (Compress.inf) = 089056ab03b14664b3e6ecc42cc34a02 After extraction the GTC, most of the files are mostly the same. .PC TEXTURE files It seems that almost all of the .PC TEXTURE files were re-encoded, as most of them differ by a small percentage of bytes. The list of different .PC TEXTURE file is too large to post and not very usefull, so here is a list of .PC TEXTURE files that are NOT different. I don't believe that the textures are actually different, but we won't know for certain until a converter is written. Unique Files There are also a few files that are only in the Newer, No DRM version. These files are. GRAPHICS/MENUS/MAIN/SPLASH SCREENS/LEGO_LEGAL_QUARTERS/LEGAL_01.XBX TEXTURE GRAPHICS/MENUS/MAIN/SPLASH SCREENS/LEGO_LEGAL_QUARTERS/LEGAL_02.XBX TEXTURE GRAPHICS/W1-ALPS/TRACKS/ROAD1/MOUNT ROAD1.MD2 GRAPHICS/W1-ALPS/TRACKS/ROAD2/MODELS/TRACK1.MD2 There are no files exclusive to the Older, DRM version. SYSTEM/DEVELOPER.CFG The Newer, No DRM version uses 0x0A line endians, but the Older, DRM version uses 0x0D0A. Credits And finally, the TEXT/CREDITS *.CMU files are all different between versions. This is because the Electronic Arts section of the credits was removed in the Newer, No DRM version. Here is the English version of the removed section. This means that later EA was removed from the credits. I have no idea why, but it might be an interesting story.

http://youtu.be/lG_apriu92Y I'm coming along with LR2 modding (same mod principle as the walking dinosaur).

Hey all. Well I finally started work on my next Technic aircraft, A B-25 Mitchell. It's going to be a similar size to my Technic Spitfire and mostly the same type of functions. The planned functions I have at the moment are: Both engines powered by a PF XL motor each. Working ailerons, elevator and rudder all controlled from the cockpit. Working Landing gear powered by a PF M motor. Working Landing flaps also powered by a PF M motor. Working turrets. I've so far built part of the left engine bay with the landing gear leg and the basic structure of the center of the main fuselage. First a couple of pictures of the engine bay: Next up is the section of main fuselage I've built so far: And thats everything for now. I'm not sure how long this MOC is going to take as I don't currently have all the pieces needed and affording them is going to be interesting to say the least but I will try and finish it before the end of the year hopefully.

Back to Mafia... *As Aidenbridge sat over his bridgey bridge The Ace Railgun could be seen lounging around the river, waiting for the others to arrive*

Just a quick update today as I haven't gotten much building done in the past week. I did a bit of work on the tail section and I think I've come up with a design that should be quite strong once it's finished. It's also now getting close to how long it's going to end up being once finished. I have actually run out of 1x16 studded beams so I might replace some in the tail with 1x14 studded beams. And thats it for this update. Hopefully I get a bit more building done this week.

I’m surprised no-one’s done this theme before… HERE WE GOOOOOOOOO Chief had sent some raiders down to planet U. Their names were nine – Nine. Nine for mortal members doomed to leave. And one for the Tongue Master Aiden on his Lego throne. One strobe to rule them all, One strobe to find them, One strobe to bring them all… …and in the brightness… bind them. ANYWAY, back on-topic… There were nine Rock Raiders who had been tasked to go down to the planet: aidenpons, , natcO, The Ace Railgun, Xiron, Fushigisaur, MaelstromIslander, noghiri, and Seaborgium. Nine Rock Raiders. One was the commander (me ) of the HQ. The others were mere raiders who loved to take shortcuts over lava and run for sandwiches. But one of them had other plans to take over the HQ for himself…. [/CheesyPlot] ROUND 8 BEGIN O.T. It is my job to saturate this with as many puns as possible. Just for you, Xiron. AS A REVENGE FOR YOUR BLINKING. AidenBridge watched from his vantage point, directly over the BRIDGE connecting one side of the HQ to the other across the underground river. ... you have been warned.

The last thing we need is another LEGO game with horrifying puns... This, this so much. We don't need no horrible puns.

ITT: Jamesster is a god and won't let anybody else play with his really cool toys.

Honestly, you can't just explain what the story is going to be about. You really have to give us an example chapter, because that will speak more about your project than anything else. On the violence discussion, use violence as a tool to convey the message of the story, but don't worry about its social impacts. Art is not about bending over to censorship, it's about trying to showcase humanity in its current state.

Alright, good to know. Thanks for looking into it!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tn7um3Yukbs Not really a fan of Sonic games, but I like some of the music (well, at least in the games I've played - the Advance series, GBA). Just catchy little tunes I find myself internally humming once in a while.

Well, that's a start. A start. It takes a lot more than no previous experience and a few sprites to go somewhere. If you're seriously considering becoming a sprite artist, my advice to you is to spend as much time as possible developing your skills. Create brand new sprites for existing games (there's plenty of old and open-source games that still use sprites), maybe even create mock projects.

I confess that I was the one who gave the link to Sadie in the first place, as I've been using one of these on Skype and Tumblr for quite some time... Yes, I was the catalyst.

Why would do that? He allowed a similar thread for le717 Impersonation day, so I don't think you have to worry. RRU is, in my experience, quite open to a bit of harmless fun. Besides, if he was going to lock this thread, he would do so right away, instead of posting in it without doing so. Pretty much this. I am just in denial that this is a fad right now on RRU.
