geez what kind of messed up person posted this topic. whoever it was must be a real piece of work

Hi, I'm (relatively) new here. I've been following these forums for about a year or so without a profile, and I decided to finally do something with my profile. So, without futher ado, here's the first mod-... thingy that I created: As you can probably see, It's unfinished, but I wanted to hear some opinions about the general Idea. If you see something (except for the Font) I could improve, please let me know. The backdrop is a test, it is intended to look like an 1920's garage.

We are not funerals Ben.

absolutely incredible

The answer to the question in title is simple: Jamesster and his deep sexy voice (see easter eggs).

You're welcome. I do like this mod. I think it is very neat. I don't any feedback for you, so I'll just say keep up the good work.

I'm just waiting for the steampunk total conversion. Also, nice use of the 1930's logo.

What the title says. What character in the game would you most like to.... hold hands with? Be honest, I won't judge you* *I'll probably judge you a little also in case anyone took this serious I want to make it clear that this is a parody topic.

Recorded December 3, 2013 in a Skype call (which I don't join often) in another (read: not RRU) group I'm was formerly in known as the LUR. For some idea, I started reading the truly awful LEGO Island fanfic "lego island: the warm day". I had to stop as my parents came home, so chapter 5 (the last chapter) is not present. I am considering rerecording this some day (maybe soon). This has been sitting on my hard drive in the raw Audacity project since I recorded it, and tonight I had the notion to edit and publish it. Pardon the quality. I never need to use my laptop's built in mic ever again.

Hi! Newbie here, but I got bored and made a thing: I used to love this game as a kid, and recently I found the disk buried under a pile of, well, other disks. (I used to love RR and LI1+2 too, but not as much as this - I can't even remember if RR/LI1+2 had a theme, but I can hum LR's theme and the building room song without even thinking!) So now that I have more free time the idea popped into my head to reverse-engineer the game, because why not! Currently it can read the JAM file and create the main menu (well all apart from the man in the corner: just need to look at animations then once that's done it seems like a simple 3x3 matrix maps it into screen space) with sound playing (albeit in a very quiet and crackly way because I messed up the ADPCM converter and cba to redo it yet), but nothing is interactive yet. I wish I'd seen http://www.rockraidersunited.com/topic/6624-lego-racers-in-unity/ before I'd started working on this, but ah well. Almost all of this is from reverse-engineering/guesses (no copy-pasta of libLR1 or anything else, except possibly the BMP format) and I prefer to work out and implement stuff myself rather than rely on other peoples implementations, so everything you can see I've written in C or C++ (it originally started in C as a JAM dumper but then expanded into a full C++ project with a single C file that doesn't want to change into C++ (Logging.c)). It relies on LEGO.JAM being in the same folder (although it also searches the parent folder as it makes the build folder setup easier) and the .tun files being in the same folder if you want audio. If it finds the folders "MENUDATA" and "GAMEDATA" next to it then it'll read from them and ignore the JAM file since that's what posts on here seem to suggest happens (note that I haven't been running the actual LR at all - only looking at the data and guessing what each bit does - and hence never needed to modify a file, but I guess having those folders would make that easier). Currently the only command line args from the original game it accepts are "-horzres" and "-vertres" (no support for "-fov" yet, although can't wait to add that!), and additional ones are "-runtests" that runs unit tests (currently all #if 0'd out in the code, except for the image dumping) and "-headless" which was used when I used to dev on my really really old machine (had lower specs than a raspberry pi) but should probably be removed now. It requires OpenGL 3.1 because that's the highest version my machine with an Intel GPU using the Mesa drivers can go, although it doesn't actually need that high a version and I should probably lower it, but chances are most machines nowadays can run it. Maybe if I lower it back down we can get LR running on a raspberry pi or phone... maybe one day. Binaries are attached (debug and release in both Windows and Linux formats - the Linux one was built on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, but the code requires no dependencies other than SDL2 (I think)) so have a go at running it if you feel like it, although all it does is draw what the picture shows. I think I have the 2001 re-release of the game, and from brief looks at libLR1's code when I got stuck reverse-engineering the file structures it doesn't seem to match my data exactly (unless libLR1 has never been tested against the 2001 data?). Also note that since most of this has been developed on Linux there might be subtle bugs in the Windows version - I gave it a test run and it all seems OK, and seeing as it doesn't do anything yet I don't see how it could go wrong Anyway, thought you lot might want to know about this, and don't expect regular updates at all on this or even from me (I busy). Although if you want a statement of progression: on Friday morning it wasn't drawing anything, on Saturday morning it was drawing the images (so background and the logo in the top left), and last night I added the ability to print text on the screen, albeit in a bit of a hacky way (only 1 of the fonts works "OK" since they do something weird with glyph locations - just look at the location of the "Q" in "QUIT"). Oh and the reason the labels don't match what's in the game is I haven't found the mapping between what the internal names are (ie those shown atm) and where the translations are stored in the string files, but once I've found that out then it should be fine contents.zip

I'm an incorrectly phrased winner? Aw you're just too kind.

We are not funerals Ben. I should have caught that Here, have a trophy: your welcome

Lego releasing it now is a bit of a blunder. They say their factories can't cope with the current demand, then they go release a TARDIS. Are they trying to overload their systems?

because fushigar is an evil destructive being that only wishes to stomp on our dreams because she has no soul and is a decieptful creatur that will exist ALLLLLLLLLL the eternities anyway, I only wish for this topic to die, before real shippers (the people who ship as a hobby, ect.) invade the topic with their fanart whose contents are unmentionable on this forum. This topic deserves to be burned in hellfire for its evil sins, and never be lifted back up to the society of Rock Raiders United- *Slowly moves my mouse to the voting poll*

The Doctor Who ideas set is out today! ...aaaaaaaand it's already out of stock online. Well that was quick.

I first misread the title as "sexist character in LRR" and got confused... very purposeful topic. but why no radium

"No page is-" *reads page* ...Never mind, you're right.

Welcome to the tower of no return RRU.

Oh, no, the teas and coffees are also spiked with insanity, as well as the drinking water. Please use responsibly.

O, so ur 1 of those talkerz. Welcome 2 RRU!

I tried; I didn't think it looked very good. Considering that most uses of this drill have that stud on the front, and the original Rock Raiders drill ended with a stud instead of a point too, I thought it just looked more fitting like that.

[17:52:09] Noghiri: i vote #cloudoctopus [17:52:52] Will Kirkby: CloudOctopus 2016 [17:53:25] Noghiri: better than the current frontrunners [17:57:13] Bug Catcher: Because politics is what I want to see when I'm in a chat room about lego games

Normally a post like this would be deleted, but in this topic, coming from you, it's hilarious. I'm keeping it.

I leave town for ONE DAY and this is what happens. Kill me. /s

Isn't it obvious?

The thought process of the 12.5% of people who voted;

didn't vote because the sexiest is actually my lego racers oc, truck driverette, who unlocks the truck driver cheat and is also a girl

I've been trying to think up an appropriate response to this topic for the past 30 minutes, but so far all I've come up with is "fwibble mcbibble".

That you exist baffles me, but I love you anyway <3
