TheDoctor Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Even if he can't give us anything, which is fine because I don't want him to do something he shouldn't. He could still probably give us some info about it. He didn't say he couldn't, he just needs to make sure he doesn't do something that lego doesn't like. I really don't know how much they care about an old game, but this IS Lego we're talking about. He did mention giving the FLH stuff to you/Extreme though.

Pyro Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Well then. Wait, does that mean that in the unlikely event we get their go ahead to work with it we can have a fully-working, editable .exe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McJobless Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 What he should do is send us specific sections of code, not so we can remake it, but so we can learn more about what the game actually does and stuff we can do which we still haven't figured out. However, I'm still up for a secret underground .exe modding group ice-cream treats for all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrcoder Posted March 8, 2011 Author Share Posted March 8, 2011 Just a little something for posterity... An early level design document. Lair and Fush 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addictgamer Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Sweet! Nice! Thanks! "Level number # 7" Search 'N rescue eh? EDIT: "(Boss Level 1)" Frozen frenzy is a boss level? I saw no boss. Meh, designs change. Edit2: Level number # 11 Water lot of fun Another malfunction has messed up the scanner output co-ordinates for the next mission and the base has been positioned the wrong side of an underground lake! Build a dock and train a Rock Raider to sail the Rapid Rider to the other side. Once you have crossed safely begin a mining operation. When you have collected enough crystals another team will be transported to assist you in achieving a total of x crystals. One thing more, the scanners also detected another life form in some near by caverns – proceed with caution. Another life form? More info if you have any please. Edit3: The fork is gradually being eaten away by the water Water erosion was planned!? Edit4: NOTE: This is based entirely on “Freezy Does it…†That's in level 13...What the? Edit5: NOTE: This is based on “Cross The Island,†and “Ice To Meet You,†but we will need to redesign the map. "Ice To Meet You" LOL! Awesome.

rrcoder Posted March 8, 2011 Author Share Posted March 8, 2011 Edit3: The fork is gradually being eaten away by the water Water erosion was planned!? It was a requested feature that never made the cut. Edit4: NOTE: This is based entirely on “Freezy Does it…†That's in level 13...What the? I believe 'Freezy Does It' was one of the alpha levels that never made the final game (i.e. wasn't as good as the others), but we instead adapted the storyline/mission into another existing map. A couple of bonus images for you: Taken circa 9/23/1999. Scary thing is, I remember vividly doing this as if it were last week!

Addictgamer Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 1. It was a requested feature that never made the cut. 2. I believe 'Freezy Does It' was one of the alpha levels that never made the final game (i.e. wasn't as good as the others), but we instead adapted the storyline/mission into another existing map. 3. A couple of bonus images for you: 4. Taken circa 9/23/1999. Scary thing is, I remember vividly doing this as if it were last week! 1. Aww... 2. I figured this out when I saw more references to other levels. "Ice to meet you"...LOL!!! 3. 4. Whoa, crazy. 5. I noticed that events are better tied in than they were in the release. "The raiders you rescued". Yes, it actually mentions the previous mission. I was surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McJobless Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Thank you so much for the design document, rrcoder. I'm actually finding my levels easy to plan now by simply using your document as a template. EDIT: Question. Do you still remember what the reinforcement map is/was?

aLPHA Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Level number # 4 – A Breath Of Fresh Air… The air in the excavated caverns is being quickly used up. We must urgently construct a Support Station to supply more air. First build a mobile teleport pad and use it to teleport in some more Rock Raiders to assist in the building of the Support Station. Warning: Be careful not to teleport in too many Rock Raiders or your air supply will run out too quickly. Game Elements introduced include: Building – (Power Station, level 1) Building – (Support Station, level 1) So the mobile teleport ISN'T a vehicle. Dern. Also, the tech tree seems to be missing the teleport pad. Could Tool store and mobile teleport only require radier, but the the tech tree goes power station, support station and canteen, and then the rest of the buildings. It's VERY similar to the tech tree I have set up for my overhaul CFG mod (only work beng done is in the cfg ). Can't wait to see more. If you could conclude that the canteen once existed, I would hug you. LOL at reused maps in different levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lol username Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 That's some pretty awesome stuff there! Loving the test animation. One question, I noticed the file was named h_test2.avi. Is there a h_test1.avi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrcoder Posted March 8, 2011 Author Share Posted March 8, 2011 That design document was very interesting. What does it mean by 'boss level'? To be honest, I can't remember for sure. I'm pretty sure that we used 'Boss' as a generic term, and doesn't mean a Boss in the traditional gaming sense. I believe it simply meant that there would be some kind of beastie/beasties at the end of the level blocking the objective somehow (I think we even used finger quotes when we said it). At least that is what was planned. Something from Lego Racers with RR stuff? Different backup disk with assorted Lego-related backups :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
