totheark Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 my copy is not working after i did this. It just loads up to a certain point on the loading screen and shuts down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tauka Usanake Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Okay this topic is old but I want to try something to at least get somewhere in the modding business. Decompile the WADs. Check. Delete old WADs from game. Move files from inside the WAD folders (ie: LegoRR0, LegoRR1) into the Data folder. Combine folders in doing this. The Data folder is now fat. Remove the now empty WAD folders. Start modding files in the Data folder. And that's it? Nothing more I'm guessing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addictgamer Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Yep, that should be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amauros Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 You can combine the Data Method with the Wad method by making your own wads filled with the files you won't be modding (accident prevention ) and keep what you'll be modding regularly in the data folder.

Tell me how to deal with duplicate folders. Do I just move the files into one folder and be done with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addictgamer Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 What do you mean by duplicate folders? Windows doesn't allow 2 folders with the same name in the same directory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 That's what I ment, there are two level folders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Addictgamer Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 That's what I ment, there are two level folders. Ya, just copy both folders into data. Windows will merge them. Next time, please be more specific in your questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Addictgamer Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Did you try running the wad tool as admin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oboe Shoes Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Alright, I've followed the instructions for this method down to the letter, and the modded version of the game simply wont run. Placing the Wads back where they belong fixes it (but of course, stops any mods from working), and renaming them/taking them out breaks it again. I'm running on Windows 7, if it makes a difference. Is there a link to the old Wad compiler anywhere? Might be easier at this point. EDIT: Err-derr. Found the Wad Tool ( confused it with an older thing, long story) Still It'd be nice if i could get this method working. A bit more streamlined and all.

Addictgamer Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Are you sure you copied all the contents of both the legorr0 and legorr1 folders (extracted wads) into the data folder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oboe Shoes Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Yeah, I've made sure that I didn't bring the folders in themselves, just the contents of them, so I'm not sure what's up. No biggie, as it's working fine using the old way, just a bit inconvenient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addictgamer Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 How about a screenshot of your Data folder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oboe Shoes Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 This is a backup that isn't currently being used, but the data folders were the same until i changed them back. (and this backup doesn't launch either) Also, no idea where that "cfgoriginal" came from, but i doubt it's affecting anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lair Posted June 21, 2011 Author Share Posted June 21, 2011 It looks in order. Also that may be a developer CFG left in and you get to see modded stuff yay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addictgamer Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Um...If you aren't already doing so/tried it, try running LegoRR.exe directly (as in, not via shortcut). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oboe Shoes Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Yeah, I've tried that too. Same effect. At this point, my Rock Raiders directory being cursed by some form of black magic seems like the most logical explanation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you by any chance forget to move one or both wads out of the directory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oboe Shoes Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Gah, Finally found the problem. Somewhere along away my LEGO.cfg turned into a .txt with a .cfg extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
