v0.08 is coming later today (28/05/2017) Stay tuned for full details of this release.

Yeah these are all things that will need addressed in future versions (I know what's going on in each). This really was intended as a first-pass at putting all the maps in. FYI: That first bug can be gotten around by choosing a different resolution. - I find 4:3 ratio resolutions work best as the original game was 640x480. Another FYI: Any map that starts without a cavern, if you put your cursor in the middle of the screen at this point and press space, it'll probably reveal the cavern.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE iT found some bugs https://plays.tv/s/LHhO3I_v0Sfv cant get to all maps https://plays.tv/s/LHhO5xe12afA bye https://plays.tv/s/LHhOXfAQSl5q no base

I'm getting the impression you're vastly underestimating the amount of work that goes into making (even recreating) a game like this...

Terrains not included* (last I checked) Well hey, I wouldn't mind a LR2 remake, but you know aside from the engine, LR2 and DR and entirely different games, and getting the motivation to work on a game you aren't interested in doing isn't the same as having it for something else that you'd much rather be doing. Mind you I don't know how RedC feels about an LR2 remake but I'm just throwing that out there, and it's obvious this is not where the original intent layed.

I see what you mean and this is correct in any other regular game concept. But here i want to reconstruct the game, and if you dont have a simply essesential element as the maps are, than it will make no sense to put effort in anything else because it won't be happening anyways. If i just wanted to make a better version in total with only the concept of drome racers, than sadly i must say someone already did that, better than i could ever, just alone because no money for assets not as talented and experienced with 3D modelling etc..++ Well his AI is s***ty, and the animations of the rockets never come to their full extend. But the rest is pretty much epic

Unfortunately none of the rippers actually work nicely with this game, just as they didn't with Racers 2. The only way I was able to get Racers 2 stuff nicely was through Will's viewer. So if someone was to take the torch Will left behind and update the program and make it compatible with the newer version of the .md2 models that Drome Racers uses (and their textures), then we should be good to go.

If you want my advice - and if you're really serious about this - worry about the actual game part and get it somewhat playable before worrying about any actual art assets.

With LDraw models it's not as much a matter of polygon count as it is the models being really sloppy. Some of it is due to how LDraw is fundamentally designed (the primitives system), some of it is just... well, sloppiness. There's no automatic tool that can properly clean up LDraw models, it comes down to a lot of manual work:

If we want to get legal then RRU shouldn't even exist considering where it's foundation came from. Have you read the installation agreements/EULA of these games? We modify, we reverse engineer file formats of these games, we make derivative works off them. Also that 2nd part also targets the models, sfx, whatever you've been uploading because they themselves are part of the software. In other words, if you want to get picky about LDDs EULA, then what the horse are you even doing here.
