1)

DO NOT Post or Upload Illegal Material
This refers to posting any form of pirated materials such as applications/games, including posting of links to such materials. Rock Raiders United DOES NOT support piracy

 
We are not going to stop you from doing such, but we will not help you in your search or endorse piracy. Rather, you can check Amazon, eBay, and Bricklink for copies. You can usually get one rather cheap.
 
2) No, the PC and PlayStation games are completely different. See also:

I thought we had a topic or wiki page that listed the differences, but I can't seem to find it.

Quick to jump to assumptions of intended Piracy, guys. RCRACER24 may have easily been wondering if there is a legal download for classic LEGO Games (there isn't :( ).

 

Do not assume criminal intentions where an individual behaves perfectly casual.

Ok, that clears a lot of stuff up.  When it comes to computers and downloading stuff, I am naïve and stupid.  I thought that they had made it to where there was a legal download since the game is so old now.  I have looked at amazon, ebay and bricklink for copies of the game and have found some.  Is there a way in game to change the language?  the only ones on bricklink are german and French.

Actually, in 2009 it WAS availiable as a download from a paid gaming subscription site. However it is no longer available. I have already reached out to TLG to ask if there was a chance of the games ever making it to places like GOG. As you would expect from TLG, they have no plans to do this.

 

Changing the language is possible, I think it only requires the resource files to be swapped. Someone else may be able to confirm this.

Yes, one could change the language like this. All that would need to be swapped is credits.txt, Lego.cfg, LanguagesObjectiveText.txt, SoundsVoices, all the text files in LRR1.WADLevels, and SoundsStreamed. Easy as that.

Hello fellow Community!

 

Im a german LRR player and first i have to say this site is amazing!

I saw the custom maps and i wonder, how to change the language into english (well, and the user interface/names/menu etc) for a more consistent experience. At the post above you tell us what we have o change.

Is there a possibility to upload this files in English? Or does that violate some copyright?

 

Kind regards =)

So what you wanted was to change the objective text into German from English in the custom maps? Yes this is possible, but it requires manually changing that text. Unfortunally there is no automatic method for translation.

Nono, its nice to have them in english.

 

I only got a german CD-rom and no possibility to select another language. If someone could extract all language/voice data from the game or tell me, where i can find them, it would be cool. I think the replacing part should be rather easy.

It would be better to play the english custom maps with an english rr, than with a german one ;)

Hey Landsmann :D

 

unfortunately I also got the german version (but a newer one, republished by Dice Multimedia) and I could install it in french. But I know that some of the overhauls do have original sound files and texts. Of course not all text files and sound files are from the vanilla game but at least you'd have some of them. I'd say that the uploading of english files and texts doesn't violate the copyright as you cannot play the game only with the sound files. 

I have now extracted some of the english voice sound files from Baz's Mod. Unterlined text

Yay, thats for the fast response!

 

Hm, just extracting the .zip and copying the files in the rr-folder doesnt seem enough (in my vanilla version is only the directory "Sound->Streamed", with completely other files than your uploaded "Sound->Voices". The english version (or at least the mod) seems to have a completely different architecture? I will try to install some mod packages, maybe this solve the problem anyway :D

 

Edit: Its working, Baz's mod is overwriting all files needed =)

The problem is that you don't have your WADs extracted.

 

Baz's mod changes several more things as he wrote in his topic. If you want to play the original version, but only in english, I recommend you to ask some native english people here whether they can upload the rest of the files.
