Using the patches that @Iran found (see here), I have found the HEX offsets to patch LEGO Island 2 using a HEX editor. This is probably much easier for people to do rather than using OllyDbg. I've also found some more patches myself, just by pure luck... These patches have been tested and found to be working on "LEGO Island 2.exe" with the following checksum: SHA-1: 0D43741E15BC309C3BB370D4EB49EC142D149CA9 MD-5: C839F8ECDBD582770B7B4ED69927F047 Note - There's at least two versions of LEGO Island 2, with different EXEs. Not all of these patches may work on your version! Make a backup before doing any patching. - Terrev Instructions: Backup the original .exe. Open the original .exe with a hex editor (I use HxD). Go to the hex offset for the patch you want. Overwrite the data with the patch's data. Repeat for all the patches you want. Save your modified .exe. OVERWRITE DATA FROM THESE OFFSETS, DO NOT INSERT DATA!

Hello, you remember the old thread New MultiTool for Lego Island 2 [WIP]? What happened? Well, after 5 years, I finally finished this tool. Certainly I didn't really finish it, as I started to develop a completely new software 2 years ago. But as time went on, my spare time was getting less as I had to assume our family's demolishing company. I hope you forgive me, because I already felt bad for promising something and not finishing it. So here it is, after several weeks of hard and exhausting work. LI2GE - Lego Island 2 Game Editor Finally it's there, the official Game Edit- and moddingtool for Lego Island 2: The Brickster's Revenge.

Alright, here's what we've found so far. Xiron and I have the same version of the game. I've also installed Iran's version, and compared the two installations and contents of the discs with Beyond Compare. For the sake of simplicity I'll call the version Iran's been using version A, and the version Xiron and I have version B, as the latter seems to be from just a day later. Here's the results for the discs. A on the left, B on the right. Files that are red have differing contents: And the installations - here I'm only showing the files that differ so it'll all fit on screen: Curiously, it seems that the disc with the earlier version of the game was actually burned after the one with the later version of the game. Go figure. I extracted the z27TRX and z42BRP archives and tested those against each other. The only differences were trexvol01.par in z27TRX, and flame1.par in z42BRP, which both had similar changes made. trexvol01.par had these lines removed in version B: [EMITS] trexvol02 And flame1.par had these lines removed in version B: [EMITS] smoke2.par So in version B, this particle effect looks different: (The Brickster's in different places there just because I hit him with a pizza at different points) I haven't checked to see what particle effect was altered in T-Rex Racing but it was something similar. I haven't checked to see what the difference between the two manuals is, either. Also, I can change my resolution a-ok on both versions, so that must be a bug specific to Iran's computer.
