Cyrem Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 (edited) This tool is old and has been replaced with >WAD Recycler. Wad Refinery 2.0 Wad Refinery makes building, un-packing, and backing up both Lego Rock Raider's Wad files a one click process. Just dump the program in your LRR install directory, make your changes in the LegoRR1 and LegoRR0 folders, then whenever you want just start Wad Refinery and it will re-build both Wad files so you can test your changes. This is also a easy alternative to people who use the no-wad method as you can go back to using the WAD method and not have to use the WAD Tool to compile changes each to you modify some things. This tool can also be used to un-pack and backup the Wad's. In the archive you download there is a Bat file that will start Wad Refinery with the parameter to un-pack or backup instead of building the Wad's. New in 2.0 Wad Refinery 2.0 is a complete re-write of the program and these are the improvements over 1.0. No more Command Prompt Windows! Backup WAD's UnPack to Data Folder Download: here Please post "feedback" rather then questions like "Will this even work?" or "I don't get it...". Enjoy.

Anonymouse Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Sorry this isn't feedback, I haven't had a chance to test it yet... But how did you program it? Does it use a backend (possibly ogun's WAD tool?) or is the WAD parser implemented directly into it? Also, is it able to unpack the WADs to the Data folder and move or rename the original wads in one click too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEPICtrainrider Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 So this is why you haven't released another version of Raiderball or the MC! I'll give it a shot after school. (I use the No-wads thing, but I have the wads stored somewhere) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it doesn't do that, but thanks for the idea. So this is why you haven't released another version of Raiderball or the MC! I'll give it a shot after school. (I use the No-wads thing, but I have the wads stored somewhere) Not sure what I'll do with Raiderball yet and I didn't feel like working on MC, so I did thought i'd do something different like this and PowerPatcher(not officially released yet though).

DrDeath Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 i found that the wadrefinery 2.0 was recognized as a trojan horse. i believe this is because the method in which it unpacks the data. For those who use good antivirus you might want to disable it before running the rifinery. On a side note, i still had command prompts pop up when the program was ran.

Amauros Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 What antivirus software do you use? I have yet to use the wad refinery because I use the data folder method, so I don't know if Avast would class it as a trojan horse... even if it did I could tell Avast otherwise and it wouldn't bother me again lol.

It would have to be false positive. What anti-virus are you using (don't say Norton)? If you run one of the bat files you'll have 1 that comes up. So did you have the NPL Tool prompts as well did you? Wait, if that was the case, the program shouldn't have worked... hmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am the it guy at work so i use the corporate version of NAV. About the Prompts it was just command prompt that popped up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McJobless Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 I use Nortan and it complained about Wad Refinery. It even complained about the program I was making! Damn Norton, fact of the matter is they have too much security. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amauros Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Lair, it didn't make a LegoRR2.wad because there's no such thing. There's only 2 wads, 0 and 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cirevam Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Amauros has never heard of the multiple WAD method. If I find the topic I'll post the link, otherwise he'll have to search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrem Posted July 10, 2010 Author Share Posted July 10, 2010 I tried it. It made LegoRR0 and LegoRR1.wad, but did not make LegoRR2.wad Why would it make LegoRR2.wad? I never made it to do that. You could just...I don't know... rename the file? Sonic322, Trying striders will make no difference, It does the same thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did strider make another tool? because as far as I know, his wad tool is manual so it can be set to make many wads, otherwise the manywad method wouldn't work.

Lair Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 WAD Refinery 2.0 isn't working for me. It creates the folders and leaves them empty. And the 1st one works fine. What's going on here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jg325 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 For anybody using windows 7, you have to copy the wads to the desktop or to any place but the program files and extract them there, then move them back into the lrr folder, you cannot modify from the program files due to some microsoft security feature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDoctor Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 you cannot modify from the program files due to some microsoft security feature It's called security. Would you want just any user changing or deleting files that programs need to run? Oops, bro deleted chrome.exe. Oh well. Too bad there wasn't anything to stop him, like the concept of administrator permissions. Lair 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it will not work even with admin rights, and here is the funny thing, I can cut paste delete etc till my brain melts, but cannot extract or modify files, not even .txt.
