LEGO Island 2: Sky Colours Table + Lighting Info

[Fluffy Cupcake]

Hola. Sky colours are hardcoded.

The address are the same between the two known English versions. If you have a different game language the offsets are probably different. If that's the case I'm more than willing to help you on your way to finding the consistent differences for all address between here and your game version.

 

Keep in mind the original value is reversed endian.

Front End	FF FF FF FF	??????
Board Park	00 00 00 00	??????

For some strange reason, when changing the results I could scrape up for FF FF FF FF, none of the skys in the game changed with that value, and as for 00 00 00 00, there way I've tracked them down (XX XX XX XX 68 - 68 always comes after the value), there is way too many of that value appearance for me to count on 100 hands, and mass replacing causes a crash due to some sensitive areas getting replaced.

 

What can you do with sky changing? Something like these.

Well as promised, here is a breakdown of everything I was able to figure out on lighting! I might need some help figuring out the unknowns since I'm unable to figure what they do.

 

 

0x00-0x0B: Header and other unimportant bits; 0x0C-0x0F: ???

0x10-0x23: ???

0x24-0x27: East sided surfaces get brightness affected?; 0x28-0x2B - Overall brightness of the world; 0x28-0x2B: South sided surfaces get brightness affected?

0x30-0x3F: RGB of the brightness and coloration of the landscape and objects.

0x40-0x4F: RGB of the world's atmosphere.

0x50-0x5F: RGB of ???

I'd imagine the rotation of the main directional light is in there somewhere.

That was my thought exactly when I poked at 0x24-0x27 and 0x28-0x2B  but that didn't quite seem to be the case. It could very well be 0x10-0x23, I'll have to take another poke at it.

This is really some awesome stuff you researched there. How did you find out all these things?

[Fluffy Cupcake]

If I recall the way I found it went something like this:

 

1) Get the fog to break by minimizing and maximizing the game in fullscreen mode allowing the sky color the leak through where the skybubble clips out.

2) Take a colour sample of the sky leak

3) With the colour sample, reverse its endian (since Island 2 is in reverse), find instances of it in the .exe, replace, and test test test until something is hit.

3.5 (optional)) For assistance and ease of obtaining the value of any area of the game's sky colour instantly without work  - find a pointer to the sky's colour address in cheat engine so you instantly have ease of access to the color wherever you are (and you can even do live changes for experiments if you want!)

4) After finding a color change for the first time, take note of the byte pattern that follows it for ease in finding the rest of the colours since the surrounding byte pattern is the same for every colour occurrence.

I would really love to get this working on German version, how can I make it work ?

I would really love to fix the sky color in the Dutch version of Lego Island 2, could you please help me?

Whack-a-Snake is NOT 3C4D0B (in the German version it would either be 3DACAB or 3DB2A4), it will crash the game when playing this mini game, I don't even know if there is a blue sky box at all, because it's impossible to see it.
