LEGO Racers Vintage Licence "To drive a Motor Car"

[Zubay]

Hi, I'm (relatively) new here. I've been following these forums for about a year or so without a profile, and I decided to finally do something with my profile. So, without futher ado, here's the first mod-... thingy that I created:

As you can probably see, It's unfinished, but I wanted to hear some opinions about the general Idea. If you see something (except for the Font) I could improve, please let me know.

The backdrop is a test, it is intended to look like an 1920's garage.

Obviously according to all the people who liked your post, including me, its safe to say this is quite the interesting mod. Although, I think LEGO Racers takes place in LEGOLAND or something as mentioned in the manual, doesn't it?

Anyways, this is a really great mod you made! It would be even more interesting if someone made a complete "Vintage LEGO Racers" mod... Food for thought.

Well, I don't remember ever reading the manual, as I own this game for many years in a small CD Cover, wihout the manual.

Thanks! Yes, that's something I had in mind as well, but this was the first thing that came to mind when I looked at pictures of old driving licences. Maybe I'm going to do something like that.

I even thought of changig all menu skin textures to sepia

Wow, even Rocket Racer looks like he's from the 20's in Sepia

By the way, has anyone noticed that I used the old LEGO Logo from 1934 for that stamp?

I'm just waiting for the steampunk total conversion.

 

Also, nice use of the 1930's logo.

You're welcome.

I do like this mod. I think it is very neat. I don't any feedback for you, so I'll just say keep up the good work.

This looks cool. You've still just got to change that background of the minifig in the license.

Fact: Every post in this topic aside from OP has a smiley tongue in it.

Steampunk would actually be interesting, but I'm not sure if it'll work, since it's settled in the Victorian Age, so cars (and especially car races) shouldn't be a common thing yet.

But I could imagine it to be nice.

Ah, I see now, I changed it so it now says 'Country of Legoland' instead of 'Lego Town'.

Thanks, and for the background, I tried to change it, but I don't exactly know how.

*UPDATED VERSION*

Updated Stamp & changed 'Lego Town' to 'Country of Legoland'

Thank you all for the positive comments, always appreciated.

The colour is defined under /Menudata/DrvrLice.mib. Look for this:

 

        k_2A    // Tint color (ARGB)
        255
        83
        90
        140

        255
        83
        90
        140
    }

(there is a Ctrl+F search function, use it to find the first 83)

If you know enough about image editing, you should know what the ARGB means and how this colour formatting works.
