Ben_R_R Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Hello Everybody! I highly doubt anyone here remembers me. (And I'd be hard pressed to remember anyone besides gmjab/Cyrem) About 8 years ago there was a topic in the neoseeker forums about wad files and modding Lego RR. All we had at that point was some really primitive map editor gmjab had made. I posted stuff here and there for a while -- I seem to remember trying to make a castle raiders texture mod -- then life hit and I dropped off the face of the planet without so much as a goodbye... Sorry about that... 8 years latter, I'm back. Pleased to meet'cha! Here is some stuff I've been working on (And some super old stuff): A 2400+px vector trace of the Rock Raiders Drill logo -- I know the lines look too wide, but trust me, they are accurate: Link because it's a huge image Re-imagining the Rapid Rider design, and the Rock Raiders color scheme: One of the very first things I posted on the forums a million years ago -- Eesh... Don't know what I was thinking: Found an old Castle Raiders Screen Shot, This is about all I ever did. Maybe I'll finish it someday... Yup.. That's about it for now... Thanks for reading! - Ben_R_R Pranciblad, Quisoves Potoo, Dazzgracefulmoon and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Cupcake Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Well hey there old timer, welcome! Pleased to meet ya. Have one of my signature welcome waffles. Anyhow, I guess things sure have developed lots since you were gone all that time. The modding department is a little slow, but it's there. Your castle texture mod would be more than welcome should you ever finish it! It most certainly does have a... interesting look to it, but in a good way though! It certainly is unique.

Ben24x7 Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 I may not know you, but its great to see old members return (even if its temporarily), so hullo, hullo, and welcome back to the good ol' home of Classic LEGO game modding.

Lair Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 I remember your existence as member #2 and those screenshots, but I joined the community 8 months after your last visit, and I think I'm one of the earliest active members here. Cyrem's still around, but he got married and stepped down as admin, so he's not as active these days. Regardless, I hope things aren't too different and that you can find a place to fit in here. Modding isn't as prevalent these days, tbh at this point we're just a community with some shared interests and history. Also LRR doesn't like Windows 10 or AMD drivers and a lot of us have one or both so. I'd still welcome any new activity in that area tho, assuming I can finally get the game running lmao.

Yeah, I was reading through some old posts. It's really amazing what everyone has done, and how far we've come. I'm not really big into modding these days, more the old fashioned plastic bricks, but looking at what is possible these days, I just might get back into it. 1 hour ago, Ringtail said: I remember your existence as member #2 and those screenshots, but I joined the community 8 months after your last visit, and I think I'm one of the earliest active members here.

I've always been a bit of a lurker, but even after all these years I still like Rock Raiders, and I'm glad to see that there is a community of like mind people, even if it's not all that active anymore. Thanks everyone for the warm welcome! :-) Lair 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modded Lego Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Yeah, I'm back too guys! After many years, I helped out trying to find out how many different versions of Lego racers there were and which had trophies. The 1999 version and the 2001 version are very different. I also helped with finding cheat engine cheats. If you guys remember any of that cool stuff! I am just wondering how much progress has been made in the three years that I have been gone. Dang, has it really been that long? Seems like I was just here yesterday. Although the format of the site has changed, and for the better because it looks great!

Fluffy Cupcake Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Ohey, someone else not as old is back too! Welcome back! I certainly remember your activities around, Modded Lego. Now, I personally don't keep a timestamp on when major things happen, I just know they do. Someone else might be able to better fill you in of what important things you missed in the last 3 years. Now that you've mentioned cheat engine, I know some updates have definitely been done to the cheat tables. As for the modding department, two years ago a boulder fell on it and things have slowed to a crawl there ever since. Ben_R_R 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could even say... that a landslide has occurred on it Ah, I remember discovering RRU through those Neoseeker posts with the ancient tools. At least it was a step up from using a hex editor on the WAD before being able to extract lego.cfg, haha. I never stuck around for long though, cause I was bouncing back and forth between other games. The vector logo looks nice. Also, the "ice ore" in the first picture made me realize something - it's kinda illogical that drilling in LRR's ice biomes drops brown ore instead of something like that! Never noticed when I played LRR. Ben_R_R 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modded Lego Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Well at least the cheat engine part of Lego Racers has thrived. I'm sad to hear that the modding has died out. Ben_R_R 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have made a basic power-up relocation mod in lego racers, but since it seems no one goes in there, I probably will not ever post any of my mods that I make either.

People aren't making/posting mods regularly, so there's not discussion of it regularly. Not the other way around. sheepandshepherd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redacted Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Holy damn! You're the person that got me onto this forum! Back when I was a foolish 11 year old (7 years ago) I was googling for images of Rockraiders (and maybe for mods, didn't know they existed). I saw your images and images of the map editor and I was amazed! Thanks to those images I found out about Rockraiders United and joined it. I was a silly retard back then but I have good memories of this place thanks to you. Thank you so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
