aLPHA Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 As we are all aware, lego rock raiders has gone thru many changes in design. I was digging around, and I made some discoveries. I cannot upload the jpg images (Why can't I?), so I uploaded them somewhere else. *waits for 238 images to upload* Okay, here we go. Let me organize them accordingly. MobileTeleportPad.jpg: This is in NO RELATION TO WHAT WE THOUGHT THE BETA MODEL FOR IT WAS! I have not seen it in any beta screenies, nor does it have any model files in the game. iCBuildDock.jpg: I have no idea what this thing is, but according to the game, it was supposed to be the docks. Looks like the fin pieces of the large cat piled up on eachother. ICbuildTool.jpg: Mobile tool store? Or what the tool store would have looked like ICbuildOref.jpg: that looks like the top of the power station! Remember the rock raider's HQ set, how that thing was used to cut up ore? ICbuildCRef.jpg: Need I say was Cref stands for? That's the ore refinery's scoopydoo piece CrystalRefinery.jpg A variant of the above mentioned building Canteen.jpg: Can't really say what that is. Two barracks placed one in front of the other? Two of the "refining" parts of the retail ore refinery? I guess we will never know. PowerStation.jpg: A bit older version of the power station. Compare it with Dock.jpg Pscanfloor.jpg: Apparently, you had to tell a raider to scan a wall. PejectCrystal.jpg: Blue crystals ToolStation.jpg: That thing does not look like the tool store in the game. Only remaining remnant of pas concepts? Don't flame me for pointing these out. I bet alot of you already knew about this, but I thought making a guide to them would be helpfull to some people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lair Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Ack. JPGs. They're only good for photos since they blend. PNGs are for computer-made images. But that's my opinion. MobileTeleportPad.BMP: You're forgetting that this is the image used in the game. That's why I switched to the image of the actual Teleport Pad. Which is in there. Unused. For no good reason. iCBuildDock: Looks like the Docks, more advanced. ICbuildTool: That's the building from 4910 Hover Scout. Yes, it all makes sense now. ICbuildOref: Aha. So they really did design the game alongside the sets. ICbuildCRef: Another 4990 Building. The one in the middle. CrystalRefinery: Ore Refinery? What the heck... Canteen: It's where Raiders formed a lunch line. PowerStation: PejectCrystal: It seems that Blue was the original Crystal color, then it became the original red crystal color, then was removed. ToolStation: Again as the MT, this is the image used in-game innacuratley and for no reason at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyro Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Yeah, there used to be an option to make the tool store 'eject' ore and crystals, but it's automatic now. Also, the [Please Talk Properly] is with the docks power station? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cirevam Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Toolstation.jpg looks somewhat like the beta Tool Store, so maybe that's what the image is supposed to depict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lair Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 So the game really was made along side the sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aLPHA Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share Posted February 13, 2011 Feel free to use my other images in that photobucket album, I only posted a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonic322 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Every image in the Icons folder with IC in the beginning is an odd looking file that isn't used in the game and all the things in the image seem to give off a glowing aura. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jg325 Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 maybe this is what karl ment when he said they had to cut content because of lego's deadline, mayeb they had some models done, but because they were pressed for time they used them for basic buildings and buried the rest of the stuff in code Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jg325 Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 i thought he said they ran out of time, thank you for correcting me extreme, so this, plus the encyclopedia, plus the other hud they had designed, and the editor must be some of what they removed, and i also saw what looked like a possible aoe style upgrade system, or a more precise one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lair Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 I think the encyclopedia might work. Might. It hasn't been tested yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jg325 Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 but there is no interface for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jg325 Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 i ment there is no interface in the current game, i saw all the bitmaps, i know they are there, but they are not used ingame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That I'm saying "We might be able to get the encyclopedia back" should include the interface for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to enable it "for my next trick", but I couldn't find a way of making it work again. Might need to get s0d to take a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
