@grappigegovert I'm flattered you suggested that, but no, please don't use PatchIt. Ever. That is the biggest wad of clump I've ever written and I beg you to never think of it ever again. I technically do have an experimental project on GitHub that is what PatchIt should have been that may be of more use. I'll have to write up a post soon (been meaning to for ages).

My feelings on this are pretty mixed. It's cool to see Kahuka and Vladek and f****ing Gilbert the Bad, and I'm really happy they were able to go with a woman as the protagonist - for like the first time in a lego game not aimed specifically at girls. That's a pretty big deal. The unique characters/worlds are also pretty cool, and I like how they take a lot of queues from the source material to maintain a sense of consistency with other branches of Lego (the city you start out in looks a lot like the Lego City from the commercials, the hills in Pirate world textured like the raised plate in Rock Island Refuge, etc.). What puts me off is how the game is set up for microtransactions, and the really strong parallels to Minifigures Online. I thought playing Minifigures was super boring, so from an actual gameplay standpoint, I'm pretty sure I'm not going to get a lot of mileage out of this game. I'll probably play it when/if it launches in the US, but when it comes down to it what is really going to be interesting to me is how they treat the world and specifically what they do with classic themes.

The problem with running the game in full screen on a high resolution screen is the textures look terrible. This is exactly the same as the original Rock Raiders biomes however I've enhanced them by up-sizing the textures to 256x256, carefully smoothed and sharpened the textures to give it a much cleaner, less pixelated look. Comparison: That image doesn't really do it justice due to image compression, but it looks a lot better on big resolutions and in FP mode. Downloads: Cafeteria Patch (0.9.3+) Manual Install Files

A very simple tool that will clean the "Stab.str" file found in the "strings" folder in your LegoLand Install directory. It gets rid of all the unnecessary spaces and tabs to format it nicely. The cleaned str files work fine straight in the game, so you can replace the original with the cleaned version. Download
