    Proper normals/smoothing on LEGO Island models

    I've noticed that people using models ripped from LI1 haven't had the smoothing of them accurate to their appearance in the real game. Maybe this is something that can be done automatically by the extractor at some point (paging @Hamhock666), but for now, here's what to do. In short: The smoothing/vertex normals in LI1 are tied to the materials. I'm not sure whether they're intrinsically tied together in the model format, or if it's just a convention the artists used, but either way, that's how it seems to be done. Certain materials have all the vertices that use them welded together, others leave them flat shaded. This is why there's "duplicate" materials like LEGOWHITE vs LEGOWHITEFLAT; the only difference between them besides the names is the intended shading (smooth vs flat shading). If you want it more step by step...

    High Quality Renders of LEGO Games

    Got a few more renders under my belt, however they aren't "epic" or serious. These are the works of an SFMer at his lowest form: "Iswearidontknow1" Just a one-off render parodying these two tweets by Ayliffe. Do yourself a favour and don't ask why I wanted to make this. "Pirateseverywhere1" Inspired by Xiron's recent... lovely remix, I slapped this together to hop on the LEGO Friends "Pirates? AAUUUUUUGHH!!" Bandwagon. "hammermaster13" Until someone comes out and proves them-self better than me, I think I can call myself the Source SDK Hammer Master of all RRU. And yes, I'm represented as a simplistic version of my 'Fred Cop' character (because I couldn't be arsed to reskin him properly). And for those who don't mind, here are some extra dumps: "dashroni" My first attempt to reskin Xiron's minifig models entirely. In this case, I was changing Snap Lockit's textures to be Dash from Alpha Team (using torso/face recreations by Red06 and Aparkee, thanks lads). I didn't complete it and, as a result, this thing came into existence.

    The Return of the Tongue

    I've returned for a second time after a long string (15) of exams again except these ones I did actually study for and didn't need to bury myself in a textbook at the end of term three not that anyone massively cares all that much, and oh look, the deranged lunatic is back with his tongue as if you hadn't noticed that already

    Darkian's Introduction

    Hi there people of RRU, after years of lurking about only looking for fixes and tutorials on how to get old Lego games running I have decided to join RRU which is mostly because I wanted to get involved in the Lego Island Redux thread of @bphillips09. I'm 22, from the Netherlands and my friends call me Duke or Darkian. Lego and its games have been quite a part of my life and gave me the freedom for creativity which made me the guy I am today. I program a lot, I write a lot, I draw a lot and I design a lot with a smile on my face (mostly) and spend much of my time on creative hobbies and projects. Be sure to poke me if you need help with programming (I'm not a guru but I can help) or just want to have a good chat ^_^

    Can't think of a title for this topic?

    Wow. I figured it out now. I set it to 500 seconds using Xiron's instructions. It seems when your racer completes a lap as an AI, he/she will have normal AI physics. Sometimes it messes up on Ice planet pathway, rocket racer run, and alien rally asteroid. But now I finally have a chance to finish the race when my friend laps me .

    JimbobJeffers' Campaign Mod

    Welcome to JimbobJeffers’ Campaign Mod. This ‘mod’ is an overhaul of the original campaign in LEGO Stunt Rally, replacing all of the tracks with custom tracks of my own design. If you would like a greater challenge in the game, or just something different, then this mod is for you. All of the tracks in this mod were created with the in-game track creator, as – I assume – the creators did (or at least they used exactly the same parts and limitations as are available in the creator). Additionally, they follow the same development as the original campaign, using only parts available to the player, in addition to a new part that is unlocked after completing the track. Each level gets progressively harder and larger, and often requires the use of all arrow keys rather than standard pressing/releasing of the up arrow. I have put a lot of time and effort into making this mod, and I very much hope you enjoy playing it. For maximum reward, backup and remove your current save game (if you have one), so that you can play the game from the beginning.* Download JimbobJeffers' Campaign Mod Installation Instructions - Backup the ‘CampaignTracks’ folder in your LEGO Stunt Rally install directory. - Unzip the downloaded ‘JJ’s Campaign Mod’ file. - Copy the .trk files inside and paste them into the ‘CampaignTracks’ folder, replacing the files it contains. - Run LEGO Stunt Rally. *I assume the save game can be modified, having a brief skim-read of >this topic, but if not a second installation of the game should work (and indeed would probably be better).

    Small Transport Truck

    UPDATE: The final model can be found here! I've started work on a Small Transport Truck model for LEGO Racers, and thought I'd share my progress as it goes along. I aim to finish this and use it as an example of GDB modding, but given the complexity of the model and the fact that we are currently restricted to text editing, don't hold me to it. So far I've spent a while working out accurate stud dimensions so I can use them universally, which I've noted >here, and I've since begun planning out the model.

    Welcome to Sandy Bay

    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.

    No Direct3D Hardware Acceleration on Windows 10

    I just fixed it! Here's what I think fixed it for me, although your mileage may vary etc.: I download and ran this control panel applet for DirectX 9: http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/microsoft_directx_control_panel.html Then I unchecked and rechecked the Hardware Acceleration boxes under Direct3D and DirectDraw, then hit Apply. (I also tried running the DirectX 6 setup, which didn't let me do anything, but it did have a box for Hardware Acceleration which was already checked so...) Hope that helps someone!

    Welcome to Sandy Bay

    Complex? Naw. I understood everything there. One of the reasons why I won't Gmod it is because the terrain is shamefully buggy once you set a foot out of town. I know how I can fix it, but I can't be bothered to do it and on top of that l re-place all the props in hammer right so soon after spending time making it once already in SFM (I think there may have actually been a problem with model placing which may have made me not do it anyway).

    1. Oh you... 2. Aaaah, yep. A rock raider at its finest. Taking the most obscure path to something. xP Chief: Okay raider, you have an energy crystal but a lava pool is blocking your path, what do you do? Raider: Uuuuh dig a hole underneath it? Chief: No! You go AROUND it, not under! Raider 2 here will give you a live example how to handle this lava pool we have next to us here. Raider 2! I showed you what you need to do earlier. Now go on show this other us how it's done! *insert "path-finding" image*

    I took a crack at this and found the addresses of the number you want to change in the exe: These are the values used that control the fade-out effect and the ending of the race in single races and versus races (and timetrials? dunno) If you have the (no-drm)1999 version: Or, if you have the 2001 version:

    Also, I know Ringtail told me not to do any more meme-based things (whether referencing one or making one up from scratch), but I made this because... ...well... In all honesty though, as I soon as I saw this facial expression on Xiron's Rocket Racer model, I felt like I should take the opportunity to do something with it (even if its not impressive). EDIT: "Path-finding" New render (that is slightly more serious)! Yet another piece of LRR content, based on a previous drawing of mine which was inspired by issue #2 of 'Insane Raiders' by Arthuriel.

    So Xiron has sort-of "suggested" that I could put some of my LEGO Renders here. So here are a few of them, all in not-4K quality; ...but before I show any new stuff, I'm going to quickly skim through the ones I have shown in the Gallery.... "Mining Alone" This was a one off render I made a few weeks ago. I never revealed it since I wasn't sure where to put it, where lots of people would see it. But I'm really glad I did put it up on RRU's Gallery, as the response I got encouraged me to make and post more stuff like it. "The Pit" If you ask me, LEGO Rock Raider's title track 'Atmosdel' feels extremely atmospheric and, don't ask me why, the quick music extract near the end it makes me feel like the tune was stolen from some year-2000 alien blockbuster movie. It is just too dramatic and I love it for that. So, inspired by this track, I imagined a Rock Raider stumbling upon a huge cave that went deep towards Planet U's core, like the one in the Waterfall cutscene of LRR. I wanted to make an animation out of it, but I settled on a quick little image. I like to think this is one of the best renders I've made to date. (And now for a few things I haven't posted on the Gallery) "welcometospace1" I just felt in the mood to render something in space. I considered making a horrible looking version of this render and naming it "LEGOS IN SPESS 4 LEEEKD", but I thought better of it. "kindoffunny" This was a series of images I planned to cobble together to make something like the "Driving, it ain't like skateboarding" picture I did a while back. Although I never completed it, so here are two random and stupid renders from that: "legoyatzee1" A quick one off render, recreating Ben Crosshaw's likeliness as seen in his Zero Punctuation series. "YOUWINWAFFLES11" A silly little thing I threw together as a joke. It was used for this post.
