Unfortunately, I haven't been able to figure out how LRR determines which colours are supposed to be transparent. The closest thing I've been able to do is create transparent particle effects which works by treating pure black (000,000,000) as fully transparent, pure white (255,255,255) as fully opaque, and everything else inbetween partially transparent. Then, in the Surface Editor in Lightwave Modeler, you have to go to the Advanced tab and set Additive Transparency to 100%. That won't work for what you're trying to do. There's probably a variable in the LWO files that tells the game which color should be transparent. I'm going to guess it just looks at the index number in the texture. I can help you test this if you want. Too bad you're getting my help anyways. I'm choosing the Slimy Slug's eye for this example. Please open your textbooks to Data/Creatures/Slug/A014_SlugEye.BMP I know the transparent colour for the slug's eye is 14 from previous research. Let's mess with it a bit and see if the game looks at the index or at just the color. Here I moved index 14 to 240 just to get it out of the way. 14 is now some shade of orange. Now I moved 0 (which is white) to 14 and changed the green background to white to see if I could force that to be transparent. It worked! Great. Let's look at the model, which is Slug_Eye.lwo in the same folder. We'll open it with a hex editor (I use XVI32) and look for instances of 14. Oddly enough, the only instance I found was in the filename: A014_SlugEye.BMP This is really interesting. There are other textures that start with A###, but most of them start with A000. I think that this specifies the alpha index. To test, I looked at a few other textures, like A068_LightX and A227_headtop2, and guess what? The index in the file name always matches the index of the background colour. I can further test this by making some new models and textures and seeing if this hypothesis holds up, but that will have to be later.

CrystalCore is a rewrite of the classic RockRaiders game so it can run in high resolution on modern systems. Yeah, I know what you are thinking. Not another RockRaiders clone that will never get finished. And you are probably right. Development has slowed down because of bugs and badly written code. I should rewrite bigger parts of this project if I ever want to finish this. I'm not sure if it's worth continuing with this project. So I've decided to post the current status of the project and let you decide whether it's worth or not. Currently it can load Maps and Models of the game and has some basic gameplay implemented. This is a snapshot taken right out of development so some debug information and tests are enabled. Also includes a number of bugs. To run it you need to copy "LegoRR0.wad" and "LegoRR1.wad" into the CrystalCore folder.

Always, and not really. At least not the models part. That's interesting. The World.wdb file you included is 1763[dec] bytes larger than mine. Anyhow, this is great, here's a screenshot of the island:

I like the Castle chassis. For some reason, I feel it handles the best out of the default chassis. Do you just have a problem with its odd tipping animation, or...?There's a couple more Kahukas to come. The black part on Redstab's front (Which is a 3 x 6 plate without corners placed on top of two 2 x 3 plates I think) is actually one of my favorite parts in the game. It works best on the default "classic" chassis, which you'll see very soon. Color splits are fun, yes. You'll see it a few more times. Speed Demon has to be one of my favorite minifig designs in my Racers collection for sure. He's a demon on wheels. I use red that much? I thought I used too much blue... There's actually some cars left that have "red" in their name, so there's still quite a few red car to go around. Only 2 cars have red in this update, though. He's not an Insectoid? I knew I'd get some wrong info. I've been googling stuff labout the old 90s Lego themes just to make sure I'd get them right. I guess I messed that up! I'll probably fix that. *shrug emoticon here* ~~~Blueblack~~~ ~~~Big Spacebug~~~ ~~~Turbo Joe~~~ ~~~Toughie~~~ ~~~Battle Kahuka~~~ ~~~Racing Racer~~~ ~~~Governor BW~~~ ~~~Gentleman~~~ ~~~Wiz Kid~~~ ~~~Offroader~~~ ~~~End of part 4~~~ I apologize for the lateness of this update. This was supposed to be posted yesterday, but I somehow didn't get the time to post it. A good portion of this was actually written at like, 2 AM. You can probably tell which ones by how ridiculous they are.

Out of all my vehicles, I think Goddess looks the closest to an AI racer. Maybe that's why it's familiar...? It's in Rocket Racer's car set. I don't know why, either. I mentioned in my first post that I have 100 racers. Maybe Fenderbender should have had the the Commander Cold face That probably could look better. I'm probably going to start spoiler tagging all the cars in the thread. I'll go back and spoilertag my old posts too. Also, are you asking if I should put ALL cars in the first post (spoiler tagged) as I go through each car? Thanks! I'm glad to see that there's interest! ~~~Spacebuggy~~~ ~~~Achu~~~ ~~~Wicked~~~ ~~~Speedy Kahuka~~~ ~~~Future Wonder~~~ ~~~Sci Fi Guy~~~ ~~~Fright Kahuka~~~ ~~~Redstab~~~ ~~~Redblue Racer~~~ ~~~Speed Demon~~~ ~~~End of part 3~~~ 30 cars down, 70 to go... Wow, this is a lot harder to write than I thought it would be. I enjoy the challenge of coming up with a backstory, no matter how lame it is. I wonder how I'll look back on this in a few years? Also, I spoler tagged the cars in this post. I'll go back and do that to the other cars in this thread. They make the centered text look weird, though.
