And everyone died because of it.

Listen here, children; Don't believe LR2 is a fun, friendly racing game Don't be blinded by the challenge, the mini-games... ...the smiley welcoming Sparky... ...he just wants you to feel guilty... ...you are the one who booted up the game... ...you are the one who killed everyone in Sandy Bay... ...you... ...are the monster...

Hey, howdy. It is to my awareness that a few people here have had trouble ripping from some of the modern LEGO Games. So I'm here to show you just how it's done. First in a video, and secondly in text. Here we go! Sorry about the random mic blows. It's my first time using a wind-sensitive mic, if you couldn't tell. 1. So the first thing you're going to want to do is get Ninja Ripper from here, and Noesis from here. 2. Once you've got the two program folders extracted, stick the "fmt_ninjaripper_rip.py" that came with Ninja Ripper into Noesis' \plugins\python folder. You're going to need to have this set up for later. 3. Open Ninja Ripper. On the right side of the "exe" path line, press the button with the three dots and select the .exe of the game/program you want to rip from. As an optional, you can change the output directory after you select your exe too. 4. Almost ready! But before we head off to the game, double check your settings so you know your ripping keys, and also see what injection or wrapper method you have selected (this is the drop-down below the big "Run" button). For most TTLEGO games d3d9 wrapper works fine, but for something like LEGO Worlds I find I need to use to its DX11 .exe and use the d3d11 wrapper for it. 5. Ready to go? Hit run. Now that you're in the game, go to the thing you want to rip. Hit your rip key, and wait. Yes, the game will freeze while it is ripping, so don't worry! 6. Go to your output directory, and within the "_NinjaRipper" folder you will find your rip folder and your .rip files inside, should everything have gone well. Good, now that we know it ripped we can proceed. 7. Open up Noesis and select one of the rip files. The program will load all the .rip at once, so be patient. Once it is loaded, you can either go through all the models one by one until you find what you want, or you can batch convert them all at once. I'll be batching. From the menu bar and the tools menu drop-down, select the "batch process" option. 8. In the batch process menu, make sure the input type is "rip". Output extension can be of many formats, like obj, dae, fbx, etc. I'll be using obj, so I'll put "obj" in the output extension field. As this is an obj, we need to give Noesis an additional parameter to get the mtl file to export, and that command is "-objmtl". As a recomendation, I suggest changing "$inpath$\$inname$_files\$inname$out.$outext$" to "$inpath$\$inname$.$outext$". This will put all the converted models to the same folder instead of individual. 9. Almost ready to blender, but before we do, I suggest getting this batch import plugin, the 2nd response, the one with "io_import_multiple_objs.py" in it is what you want. I won't be covering plugin installing, so look that up if you need. Okay, so now that we're set up. Select the multiple obj import button (if you installed the plugin), select all your obj files, and wait for them all to import. 10. At this point its pretty much just picking apart the jumbled model mess to find exactly what you need, and fixing up textures should it be needed (not needed most of the time), and smoothing out the model.

Realtime graphics in the 90s, man. Realtime graphics. In the 90s.

A.K.A. When you get home and you are tired as all hell; I also took a trip to the internet's "dead jokes" department, picked one, and applied it;

Dude. Hi. It's me, the guy who loves Templar and knows everything about them. It is my pleasure to deliver to you this forbidden knowledge: they made Supersonic RC. They did most/all the Racers web games up til they stopped working with lego after 2004.

Can't argue with you there haha. This project started out with a far smaller scope than it has now, and while I've done a bit of cleaning up in the main module in recent times, the Raider class and Task system could really use a complete overhaul at some point down the line. Thanks, I'm glad you like it so far! I actually have just about finished implementing the ability for the user to select and place buildings, but a few bugs have popped up that I don't have time to fix right now, so the building update most likely won't be released until after my finals are over. Still, with the recent additions (especially level objectives, scoring, and properly handling loading and switching between levels) we're closer than ever to being able to play through the game in full

I apologise if this is a bit hard to read, but here's another one; ...and this;

Dude. Duuuuude. IDK how you did it. The code behind this is, IMO, an utter mess. But somehow, you have performed a miracle. Your Rock Raiders actually do work. They were clearing rubble and transporting ore by themselves--without me telling them to do so! Mad respect, man, mad respect.

Are you gonna pick people's worst/joke entries to judge and throw out their serious ones like last time?
