STUDZ Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Well, I was talking to joe about LEGO Racers, and he came up with a BRILLIANT idea! What if we made a track that had teleporters that led to various parts of other tracks and had ALL of the bosses as the other racers! If anyone CAN do it, please say so!

Lair Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 We're nowhere near this level of modding yet. Currently we can make Redbeard get his clownface on and have Rocket's team meet at the wall. However, when (not if) we can do this stuff, I'd like to say the teleporting is possible. Remember that split track area in Rocket Racer Run? The portal. Just shove it everywhere.

Phoenyx Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 If we can reach that level, we should definitely do everything we can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McJobless Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 It sounds like a map editor for LR1 is going to be more complex than LegoRR. Presumably, you'll need it first though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Cupcake Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Yeah, LR1 isn't as easy as simply placing tiles and putting stuff in that tile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenyx Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 An editor for LR1 would likely be something like the various editors for Mario Kart Wii. The first tracks would likely be 2D replicas of tracks from other games, especially F-Zero and Super Mario Kart, but eventually may become as complex as this.

Er, I've seen more complex custom MKW tracks. That track even still has square edges on it. The first custom tracks for MKW were made with MSpaint, but now they make them with Google Sketchup.

McJobless Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Although I don't have it installed, I'm thinking that the level is actually a big model, and the collision is presumably tied into that model (i.e. it doesn't have a separate collision model, it just tries to detect if you hit anything from the level geometry) and then there is (as I've heard) a path file for the AI to follow, which might be a model as well (except probably using LW nulls or Max bones or something like that).

Fluffy Cupcake Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Well on LI2 the models and collision files were separate. So who knows whether the collision on LR does the same or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might record myself playing later to check, but I'm pretty sure it's the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cirevam Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Even if they are different, the length of the animation is related to the length that you actually move. If you use a warp right near the finish line, you get ejected from the warp as soon as you hit the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Cirevam is probably right that that's not possible. Unless it will only eject because you finished the race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my research, the level geometry is one file, the collision is another, and the AI paths are yet another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
