This mod makes things significantly more spooky. Download: http://oresome.rockraidersunited.com/download/409 Navigate to where you installed LEGO Island 2 and place the z02LGI folder from the downloaded zip into the _data folder. The game should automatically read from it instead of the z02LGI .bob and .bod files. Note that due to how LI2 works, this only affects the main island, and there are some quirks, including: Some things are white that shouldn't be (due to shared textures; we can't really change how this works). The normals on the chest are wonky. That's just how LI2's skeleton model is. The skeleton face texture lacks all the possible expressions, so sometimes you'll briefly see solid white faces during cutscenes/talking with people. Due to UV mapping/model differences, the faces appear as different sizes on different minifigures - it's too small on Pepper (and has a slight black border), a decent size on most minifigures, and perfect on BricksterBots and uh... Pete Bog. Pete Bog is special. Speaking of Pete Bog, his head now levitates above his body until you get up close. I found this too funny to fix. The Brickster still has the normal hand models. I might fix this later. At least they're the right colors. FIXED The Brickster appears as a normal minifigure when flying the helicopter in the escape cutscene, and I think the BricksterBots that kidnap Mama and Papa might too. That's because they're separate models. Maybe sorta "fixable"... So yeah, try downloading it and playing through the first part of the game up to Whack-a-Bot or something. It's oddly amusing. Some more screenshots: EDIT: Fixed the Brickster's hands because they were bugging me too much. Updated download link. EDIT: Switched to another skeleton model in LI2 that's still broken but in a slightly less ugly way, fixed a LOD issue with Pepper's head.

@mumboking Sparky!! Show the man his prize! Xiron trademark "Eggo" waffles!!

Where the grass is green, the beaches are clean, and there is always someone there to give you help. (making of time-lapse found here) Random Trivia & Facts: The map, and all the models seen in this video were just made and put into SFM this weekened. This also means that in the same timespan I made an animation. I had to 1/2 re-set up the town a second time because all the models were mirrored incorrectly the first time (by half I mean the doors and all the extra bits broke and I had rotate all models 180 degrees, the broke extras bit was easily fixed by doing a "import animation sequence" by replacing the old model sequence with one from a new one). I found out that it is possible to do the animating part of a 18 second animation in 2 hours if you are extremely determined and block out all distractions (not including additional extra touch-up details). The grass sprite went through a lot of overhauls before I found a decent one. I recorded myself making this, so expect a time lapse down the road. While I did plan to animate from the start of my recording, I didn't go through with my original animation idea. Once I started to animate, every bit of idea in the animation came to me bit by bit by just messing around with things. You will get to see this later.

Messaged him today so we'll see how it goes. In the meantime, I thought I'd share some behind-the-scenes articles and images that I gathered during my absence: Cubic Design and Construction page on the construction of the iconic City helicopter atop the ride building (http://www.cubicdesign.biz/gallery/legoland/) Mural by John West (artist and designer, including theme park work) (http://www.johnwestartist.co.uk/portfolio/themeparks.html accessible via Wayback) Eye Design International pages on the scenic design of the ride (http://www.eyedream.co.uk/pages/themepages/legoland.html accessible via Wayback though two images have been permanently lost) Panasonic case study on the reworking of Rocket Racers for the 2009 season. This is a longer page and thus I won't quote it here (http://panasonic.net/prodisplays/casestudies/casino_03.html) A staff member's personal website which gives a brief insight into staff use of the ride, as well as a rare photo of the ride exterior as it appeared from 2003-2004 (http://www.hannahcollins.co.uk/beginning.htm accessible via Wayback) Several years ago, I also managed to get hold of a backpack that features the logo design shown here:

Hey guys, so I recently updated my minifigure models to have a much improved rig. What this means is that I can do more fluid and a lot less robotic animations. With that said I just wanted to show you how cool one of my older animations look with the new rig! Oh oops... they seemed to have all broke.

This almost got uploaded with a motion blur overdose, glad I noticed a found a quick fix mid-upload. Also, this was taken out of context. I probably should of done more animation on the limelight character, oh well, maybe next time, I'm still learning (I learnt how to make a motion camera today). I did a couple background anims this time though. Oh, I also bumped the FPS up to 48 to see how it would go. Edit: Bad idea of an FPS choice, now it looks crap if you aren't watching in HD. Sorry! What will I animate next? Who knows. Audio Source: This

Ding ding ding! You are correct! A winner is you!

not a useful mod, but it's humerus at least ehehe... heh yes that pun was bad Anyhow, well done!
