Hello

[LouisMeyer7]

Hi everyone. College student living in New York State here. Loved Rock Raiders back in the day - was basically obsessed with the game, although I never actually finished it (After getting stuck on Don't Panic! life must have intervened). Haven't really thought about it since I was about 14 I suppose but it popped into my mind recently and after some searching I found this community. Ha - never knew there was such a place like this and that people modded the game. I reinstalled it yesterday and after using a couple of the helpful tweaks I've found posted here I was playing without any problems (Except for being unable to use Sonic Blasters - from what I've gathered there isn't a fix for that, though).

 

Not sure how often I'll be on here but I'm surprised and happy to find a community revolving around something I sunk quite a lot of time into as a kid and I'll certainly revisit consistently to keep track of any new developments. Looking forward to getting through the entire game this time, with the help of some new tips and tricks (Never occurred to the 14-year-old me to speed up the game time). Maybe try some mods after that?

 

God, the sets were great too, although I only have the small ones - the Hover Scout and the Rapid Rider. Bought a Chrome Crusher off eBay back in the day but it came incomplete and with the wrong pieces - I remember being quite devastated. I'd like to complete my collection someday, but those sets aren't getting any cheaper.

 

I used to be fairly active on the old BZPower forums, especially the Rock Raiders thread, but stopped visiting around the same time I stopped playing Rock Raiders. Since then, Bionicle ended and the old BZP is gone, unfortunately. Couldn't remember my old logon info so I made a new account the same time I registered here and found my old profile page - none of my old posts, of course. A real shame, though. It's been so long that I don't remember any particular members from that site, though I'm sure at least one or two from the Official Rock Raiders Thread are on these forums now?

 

Ah, nostalgia. Played all the way up to Explosive Action today before my raiders got Idleness Syndrome (Not sure if we use that term here but I recall it from BZP) Forgot how frustrating the AI breaking was, but hearing Jet's sweet voice tell me that an energy crystal has been found makes everything worth it.

 

It's great to be here.

before my raiders got Idleness Syndrome

 

 

Let me guess eating sandwiches in a far off cavern? Don't worry that's listed under the expected symptoms if you play Rock Raiders. Also Welcome to RRU!!

 

We're all a bit wild and crazy here so feel free to have fun!

Man, this the best "Hello" topic I've seen in a while.

It's been so long that I don't remember any particular members from that site, though I'm sure at least one or two from the Official Rock Raiders Thread are on these forums now?

Maybe, maybe not. If they are, perhaps they will show themselves.

Despite the 4,185+ members, less than 90 of them are actually active, so... yeah.

Rock Raiders has since been modded to it's extent, so you should have a look around the old topics - I believe a fix for the Sonic Blaster crash is around here somewhere, as well as many other things in other parts of the forum, but in the meantime, enjoy the impending flood of happy "Welcome to RRU!" posts.

There are also two members of DDI floating around here.

Welcome to the site!

I didn't post in the Rock Raiders thread very much, but I'm quite sure that PeabodySam did.

Hello!

 

There's more to this forum than just modding. There's a few guys like me and Tazakk who like collecting old LEGO books, magazines, catalogs - you name it, and uploading them. If you want, I've got the Rock Raiders comic book (not puzzle, that'll be uploaded soon) uploaded to mediafire and I can give you a link. There's also a lot of LEGO Island stuff going on, right now LEGO Racers 2 is hot hot hot (or was a week or two ago). This site is, basically, a late 1990s/early 2000s fan community (but not really).

 

So yeah.

 

Enjoy your stay.

Also, I'm not sure if this helps or not as well: http://www.rockraidersunited.org/topic/3584-memory-mod-more-commonly-known-as-the-texture-usage-mod/

 

Anyhow, welcome! Glad to have a new fella like you around.

[Jimbob]

What an excellent introduction. Welcome to RRU, you'll certainly be glad you found your way here

 

If you finally complete the game (I'm sure there are one or two help guides here for the tough levels, at least I thought I remembered using one), check out the many level mods people have made to add challenge and variety. And of course, the community extends well to other classic games, but also has other great areas such as LEGO MOCs and Rock Raiders fan fiction.

 

I hope you have a fantastic stay here, Louis!

[LouisMeyer7]

Thanks for the welcome, everyone.

I'm sure there are one or two help guides here for the tough levels, at least I thought I remembered using one.

When I was younger... I didn't even need a guide to 100% it (not talking about level scores).
