An all-in-one version perfect for beginners struggling to change the game. Moreover I have on my side made some very nice creations that the veterans of the game will have to appreciate.

 

After 4 months of work .Here is a brief overview of the content

I gave this a quick shot, I'm amazed it works straight out of the box given how difficult it can be to get this blasted game running on modern hardware!

Nice work putting it all together :) I think the 1.2GB of extra videos might be a bit over the top for a simple all-in-one download, but otherwise yeah, awesome stuff.

 

However I'm having a couple of minor issues:

 

1. The main menu music plays on top of the cutscenes

2. Chief's audio doesn't play when he should be speaking during the briefings (tried this, didn't fix it)

 

Anybody happen to know of a solution?

 

PC specs:

i7-4790K CPU

GTX 970 GPU

16GB RAM

Not sure anything else is important ha

I have never had this bug, you test an official mission ? There is no audio brief for community missions.

 

May be having drivers update for DirectX, VLC, Realteck can fix the problem ... but not sure , i have computer more older than you and all latest driver ?

Sure, it's big but it's for the Video quality ?

I replaced the Data folder with a completely vanilla data folder to test, and tried with the @sound edits too, neither of which worked unfortunately.

Looking through the Sounds folder though (which I merged from vanilla LegoRR0.wad, LegoRR1.wad and the files in the Data folder on the disc) I can't actually find anything for his mission briefing voice lines... The Sounds folder is 35MB which I think should be the correct size?

 

And I meant all the extra videos you'd put in like LEGO Batman and Sonic and that, but you're right most of the file size comes from the upscaled cutscenes, my mistake!

 

 

Edit: I just had another look through the files in your download, and you have all the sounds that I'm missing! I wonder why I've been unable to find them... I used WAD Recycler to extract both vanilla WAD files, and examined the stuff on the disc. Unless maybe they're contained in the .cab files when you install the game?

 

Edit 2: Yep that was the issue! I thought everything was contained in the WAD files except for the videos, but nah installation adds more sounds separately from those cab files I assume.

 

 

So now my only issue is the main menu music playing on top of the cutscenes, not the end of the world but still kind of annoying.

I didn’t quite understand why the sounds didn’t work at your place, the "sounds" folder of my version is about 104 MB because I added new sound for my creations.
 
Exactly, the file . cab adds sounds in addition to wad1 and wad0If you replace the "sound" folder of my version with the "vanilla" version you will not have the sounds I added.
 
For the problem of the game that plays music during cutscene may be a problem of video drivers . The game does not take into account the playback of a video, that’s why it launches the music at the same time . (mere supposition)
 
It is difficult to find solutions to all problems. The game does not work the same way on each computer.

Turns out adding the latest version of Cafeteria to your setup and running through that stops the main menu music playing over the cutscenes, as well as making Chief's audio stop if you skip his mission briefing dialogues. So it's working 100% perfectly now!

 

Nice job again, thanks for sharing.

It’s just amazing that all you had to do was start the game with the Cafeteria to solve all the problems you were having. Now that it’s working, you’ll have to try to finish my 3 cross-over missions to tell me what you think :D

I experienced a few crashes when restarting a custom mission, plus some already known problems written in the Readme (mostly random crashes), but other than that, it's fantastic.

 

Also, I made an italian patch to use with it, it contains all the texts and voices, plus the United Lego.cfg with the italian strings copypasted in from my copy.

Custom levels/enemies/etc. remain untouched.

I used the latest english United patch as a base.
