Zephyria: I've been a member of this community for too long. MaelstromIslander: all sanity is lost. Alcom1: Right. The next person to use a sanity quip is going to be strapped to a rocket and fired off in a random direction, and I mean perfectly random. That's a 50% chance that the thing will launch while facing the ground. jamesster: let's surround the launch site with brick walls The Ace Railgun: And lasers, don't forget the lasers. : Don't forgot to build a roof over the launch site. Seaborgium: What I would do would be to dig out a large spherical volume at the center of the earth. Launch the rocket from the center(I'll figure that out later) and that way, which ever direction it goes is "up". aidenpons: well that escalated quickly

But more importantly: Will they include Johnny Thunder depicting the protagonist? No.

No, I will not make a LEGO version of this. Edit: Just checked the stats for Flappy Bricks (>this thing) after this topic reminded me of it. 5,092 plays, it's still getting like ten plays/views per day, give or take about five. Wat.

Some of you may already know from my posts in the "Game Archive Extracting (Research and Tools)" topic that I was working on scripts that would allow to view and extact the models and textures from Bionicle: the Game. Well, I think developed them to the point where I can make a public release. The model script became quite complicated with all those "Choose the model" things and the way I made the whole choosing process is not the best, but I think it's bearable. You can find the scripts here: https://mega.co.nz/#F!go8SGQZC!Xk3MTMLc-AlIAUYI3mT3Hg I've explained how to use them in the Readme file included in the folder above. Model script is currently v0.1 beta Texture script is currently v1.0 Here is a research I did on the game's resources: If you have any issues with the scripts - feel free to ask me . Oh, and also I don't remember if the models of turaga Matau, Onewa and Whenua were in extras, but I can't find them anywhere. The same goes for Onu matoran. If you happen to find them or any other interesting model/texture - please be sure to post it there .

Well, I tried to get a better time for both, and I got it! Here's my updated time for Lilac: And here's my updated time for Carol: Still far from first, though... ;_;

NO YOU WILL NOT. I've already put time into this. THE RULES STAY.

Alright, more times! Well, keep at it and you'll eventually catch up to aiden's level of expertise! You have a fairly decent starting time too, espesially with Lilac. When first creating the competition I was like: I should let people decide their character choice for speed. But then I was like: Oh, but Lilac is easier to learn for speeding, so Carol will be left in the dark. LET'S FORCE BOTH! > If push comes to shove, maybe, just maybe I'll revert to first thought.

I was a bit reluctant on doing this because I have a terrible past of doing time trials competitively... But oh well, I had nothing else to do, so here are my times, I guess: This one's with Lilac: And this one's with Carol (I hate her soooo much...): I'd be in 1st if it wasn't for you, Aiden... I hate you too. ;_;

I haven't been posting here as I wanted my times to be under 4min for both of them. (I had been pretty much speedrunning since I got the game as their isn't much else to do ) BTW, the top one is Lilac and the bottom one is Carol. > Muahahahahaha... Also, to all your people who think "Hmm, I might try this:" One: When you get the demo, READ THE README. It has a lot of stuff on special moves that will save you a lot of time. Two: Look at other people's speedruns to see what you can improve on. (A lot of the ones I googled were the 1.6 demo in which the invincibility powerup was OP and the bosses were EASY; make sure you're looking at the 1.12 demo, which as is of time of writing is the one they have on their main download page). Three: Don't just launch straight into speedrunning. The Academy gives you a good bit of practice with stuff (no, so far there isn't anything in the levels about jumping on horrible thing platforms inb4 Xiron says 'Actually....' so that's all fine) and it's very good to run around on Dragon Valley just exploring so you get a good idea of the lay of the land. And all of you should play this game. It's very good, and as I say to my friends: The sooner you get the demo and try the game yourself, the sooner Xiron and I will stop ranting at you about it. except that Cyrem has a banhammer... and my friends don't....

[11:45:39 PM] Leader Seradima: Oh, I get it. Jamie is high off pain meds. [11:45:50 PM] jamesster: I've been off of them for hours actually [11:45:58 PM] jamesster: I slept for five hours today [11:46:03 PM] jamesster: I am releasing built up energy [11:46:11 PM] jamesster: I think [11:46:38 PM] jamesster: I slept for five hours with people doing mechanical work around me [11:46:57 PM] jamesster: ... wait can I rephrase that [11:47:17 PM] jamesster: I slept for five hours while people ran engines and fixed engines [11:47:27 PM] jamesster: and engine accessories [11:49:07 PM] jamesster: I just took some meds now though [11:49:12 PM] jamesster: so [11:49:20 PM] jamesster: I'm not pro-pain [11:50:28 PM] jamesster: I won't ever get earrings or anything [11:50:29 PM] jamesster: because [11:50:33 PM] jamesster: they're pro-pain accessories [11:50:33 PM] Leader Seradima: incoming Jamie stoned conversations.

[11:50:56 PM] Leader Seradima: I got my ears pierced at 16, and they didn't hurt in the slightest.

You'll feel a pinch and that's the worst of it. [11:52:09 PM] jamesster: [11:51 PM] Leader Seradima: <<< Sure, you'll get a rush when it goes into your um [11:52:09 PM] Leader Seradima: And I got both of my eears done.

Maybe making boats not useless in general would be a good start. Currently all you need to transfer a base across a body of water is a Tunnel Scout and two ore. Then drop a Tool Store on the other side and magically pull crystals out of that. Tool Stores in the new game would have to be completely separate, then they'll be useful to haul materials and vehicles.

I'm not sure you actually read Alcom's post. You seem to be under the impression that it's a one-off "quip", which it isn't. You're saying Alcom is taking something too seriously, while you seem to taking it more seriously than him. I'd rather not have a topic derailed - whether it's by somebody pointlessly goofing off around the forum, or by another person trying to dive into an off-topic conversation that's already been resolved when they don't seem to know what's even going on. MaelstromIslander and Quisoves, respectively: Don't continue to do pointless stuff that you know has been gradually irritating the community, and don't enter an off-topic but finished conversation you weren't involved with when you're apparently confused on what it was even discussing. Continue normal discussion.

This...Is...So...Cool! Could we have a picture of the whole thing from top to bottom? You only posted up a picture of the top half. But still this is really cool!

Stop that. Whats wrong with saying that alcom? I don't see any actual issue with saying that. 1. I do not like the label's implications. It is an opening for a whole slew of unfunny shenanigans, that are then excused for the reason of "we are insane". 2. At its best, Rock Raiders United is not "insane". At its best, Rock Raiders United is inquisitive, a hub for exploring classic LEGO games and improving our understanding of them. At its best, Rock Raiders United is intelligent, filled with talented individuals who further our understanding of classic LEGO Games and our ability to create new things from them. At its best, Rock Raiders United is creative, and with the tools and information gathered from its intellegence, it can produce some amazing things. At its best, Rock Raiders United is mindful, its members are careful and understanding with what they say and what they create. At its best, Rock Raiders United is funny, not insane, but funny, as in actually producing comedy. One does not imply the other. At its best, Rock Raiders United is united, functioning as a team to produce amazing things. Rock Raiders United is not going to achieve its best through this doctrine of insanity.

Hmm, nice times you got there DM. They are much better than the ones you were talking over with me earlier. Perhaps, just perhaps, after this is all over I will post my times and see if anyone beats them (I've had this game much longer, so I've had a lot more practice). *waits for aidenpons to knock the ball out of the park due to Time Trialing for a week now*

Here is my first set of times. All I did with the picture is mesh the 3 screens and drew arrows to the respective times. For a total time of 12:56:32. (I think I calculated that correctly )

You can try this tool to extract the .nxg_textures files. https://ore.rockraidersunited.org/legacy/ExtractNxgTextures_89974.zip Extract the .zip file and use the console (ExtractNxgTextures.exe filename.nxg_textures) or drag the .nxg_textures on the .exe with the mouse. I hope it works.

You've missed the point by a mile... and while trying to somehow point out a so called "flaw", you instead reinforced one of his points in your own post.

Hey hey! Welcome to RRU montyofmusic! Hehe, yeah. So far I've successfully gotten a bunch of people here interested in Freedom Planet. This isn't really the place to speak about it though. Yes, but more importantly: Your floor isn't.

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.
