dead_name Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) A launcher for Lego Racers that takes care of custom resolutions, and allows for various patches to improve the game in HD. Config (executable path and resolution) is saved between sessions. If you're having the "black borders on the main menu" issue, try either of the following: > Run the launcher as Administrator > Put the game directory somewhere that non-administrators have write access (for example, put it in your documents rather than program files) REQUIRES .NET FRAMEWORK 4. Version 1.0: [LINK] Changelog: V1.0: > Initial build + Custom Resolutions + Fullscreen Mainmenu patch + Fullscreen cutscene patch Edited March 31, 2022 by Slimy Slug Fixed download link Mr. Skeltal, le717, Car CrazeXVI and 7 others 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbob Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Does this stop scaling of the in-game HUD? That'd be really helpful for including higher-res stuff, without ruining the position of elements (such as the icons on the IGD). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcom Isst Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Haha, 320x300 Running it at 1600x900 is fantastic. Now I want the HD mod to go with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. From my research, there's not a way of modifying how the HUD is laid out, but I am hoping to be proven wrong. Edit: if it is possible, the pertinent files would be in /GAMEDATA/COMMON/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lu9 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I tried higher resolutions higher than 800x600, but it just made the lego racers full screen be on the top right corner with a giant black area outside, and for some reason when I click quit the quit message appears on the middle of the black, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modded Lego Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 this launcher doesn't work for the 1999 version. when i try to run it with full screen menus the menus are black around the edges. HELP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modded Lego Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 FIXED: I had to extract the JAM file. If you have problems extract the JAM file with one of our extractor JAM tools. Does the JAM file have to be extracted for the launcher to work or is this just a fix for some computers origamiguy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dead_name Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 JAM has to be extracted for the patches to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modded Lego Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 ok well there you have it, so if it doesn't work then extract the jam. I just have one question, How come if I go to options or to build the menu goes back the the smaller version with the black outline? Does it only patch the main menu?

Mr. Skeltal Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 It probally does only patch the main menu because I have the same problom as modded lego. Oh interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dead_name Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 Only the main menu gets patched so far. That's why the tool says "main menu" not "all menus". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modded Lego Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 cool, are you planning to patch the text and all the menus? Or are you just going to patch the Main Menu? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dead_name Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 Planning to patch it all, but don't try to hurry me because it'll just make me angry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modded Lego Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 not to worry, just asking. Remember anger leads to the dark side of the modded lego! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
le717 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Question: Is it possible to have this save it's settings in the save folder as the exe, instead of %AppData%LR1Launcher? I'm sure other people than myself have Racers on our flash drives, and this would be a great tool to use anywhere we could, without leaving traces on a host computer.

Consider it on the to-do list for the next release. No promises as to when, though. le717 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
