CaptainGolem Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Hi. I was bored, so I was editing the LEGO.JAM file and I found out how to create a boss race.Unfortunately I don't know how to give the bosses their cars. :'( Can someone help?

le717 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Question: How did you create this boss race? I might do this myself sometime. As for help, you might be able to swap the 3d car models. 1, Download the GDB viewer, and make a backup of a vanilla extracted .JAM. 2,Load LR1, and take a pic of scoreboards of the race track you wan to race on. 3, In the viewer, find everyone's cars in the same race as above, and write their names down along with who they belong to. 4, Still in the viewer, load each boss's cars, and write their names down along with who's they are. 5, In Windows Explorer, copy the boss's cars and paste them in the desired racetrack folder. 6, Using your list. rename all the boss's cars to whatever the other racers car's name. 7, Complie your .JAM, and load the game. If all goes well, you should have your own boss race. This may not even work to begin with, but you should still try it and let me know what happens. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegoEssence Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Dude, that's awesome haha. Could you explain me how you did it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainGolem Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 This is how to do it : 1. Extract the LEGO.JAM file with JAM Extractor 2. Go to GAMEDATA->COMMON 3.There are some PELVIS files.Every racer has 3 PELVIS files- GDB,MDB and TDB (example-ADPELVIS.GDB,ADPELVIS.MDB,ADPELVIS.TDB). The letters before PELVIS are the racer's name. 4. Rename the files. Example- If you want to put King Kahuka into Captain Redbeard's car,rename the 3 KKPELVIS files to CRPELVIS and rename the CRPELVIS files to KKPELVIS. 5.Build a new LEGO.JAM. 6. Replace the original LEGO.JAM. 7. Now King Kahuka is driving Captain Redbeard's vehicle and Captain Redbeard is driving King Kahuka's vehicle.

CaptainGolem Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 Hey guys I almost got it There's no-one driving Baron Von Barron's car? Notice that Baron von Barron is flying.That's the only problem- They are still sitting like they were in their old cars.I don't know how to make the racers sit on the car.That means Islander is in the car,but he is below the seat so you can't see him. But now I finally created a boss race!! Yay! Noob Slayer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegoEssence Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 That's awesome dude! Any chance of sharing your .JAM file for this? (If that's legal of course.) If not, could you write down what you did to get this? Or is it the same as in your last post? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainGolem Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 It is the same as the last post,but you don't rename only the PELVIS files,but you rename CM and JMW files too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
le717 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I'm trying to recreate that screenshot for Jamesster (Your Welcome! ), but I just found out that there are 7 bosses, but there can only be six people in a race, counting me. I can dress up like Barron Von Barron, but who will I exclude, Jamesster? Also, who be that person in front of Basil and Gypsy? I'm thinking the Thunder, but I'm not sure.

Fluffy Cupcake Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Also, who be that person in front of Basil and Gypsy? I'm thinking the Thunder, but I'm not sure.Looks like Captain Redbeard to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
le717 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 (edited) Ok. Well, you're a little late on the reply. I've already built my JAM and I'm about to test it. EDIT: Cry. I didn't work. Some people are in the wrong cars, and some are really low to the ground. Guess I'll have to work at it more.

CaptainGolem Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 Now all we need to fix is the position of the racers,their names and their driving style... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dead_name Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Just because it works, doesn't mean it's the 'right' way to do it. There's a file in the root of /MENUDATA that defines which racers should be in each circuit. I'll cook up an editor later today, that should fix the issues of names and positions.

I've got the file loading code done, file saving code will be a trivial extension (thanks to my beautiful new library code), then I just have to create an editor frontend.

dead_name Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Enjoy. You'll need to load /MENUDATA/LEGORACE.CRB http://will.kirk.by/uploads/rru/CircuitEdit_beta1.zip I'm having a really bad day, so any words of praise would really help me get back on my feet. Thanks.

(as usual. ) I'm working on a movie (well, will be soon), and I will be using your tool for it. I hope your day has gotten better for ya. dead_name 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dead_name Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 :D Thanks guys. The CRB file contains some other data which this editor does not show, and leaves preserved. I'll likely extend the functionality at a later date to allow modification of this other data. The editor in its current state was created purely for character swapping.

TrussROBLOX Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Hey, how do you know which circuit the racers would be in? Also, how do you rename the files without replacing them? EDIT: Done, the game crashed saying Cannot find GI images.idb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
le717 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Sorry for the late reply. Hey, how do you know which circuit the racers would be in? You select which track you want to change racers in, and change each drop-down menu to whoever you want to be in the race. A list of tracks folders is here: RACEC0R0 = Royal Knights Raceway RACEC0R1 = Imperial Grand Prix RACEC0R2 = Desert Adventure Dragway RACEC0R3 = Magma Moon Marathon RACEC1R0 = Dark Forest Dash RACEC1R1 = Tribal Island Trial RACEC1R2 = Amazon Adventure Alley RACEC1R3 = Ice Planet Pathway RACEC2R0 = Knightmare-Athon RACEC2R1 = Pirate Skull Pass RACEC2R2 = Adventure Temple Trial RACEC2R3 = Alien Rally Asteroid RACEC3R0 = Rocket Racer Run TEST = Test Track I don't have a compiled list of the racers names (I'm hoping to do it soon), but it's not too hard to figure it out. RR = Rocket Racer, GM = Gypsy Moth, CR = Captain Redbeard, etc. Also, how do you rename the files without replacing them? As in you mod a file but want to have a backup of the original? A couple of ways: First, you can copy the original LEGO.JAM to the Save folder, and add something to the game telling you it's the original (LEGO - ORIGINAL.JAM). Any time you need to extract the original, you'll have it right there. Second, you can create a folder called Extracted Files, and under that folder, create two new folders, one named "Vanilla Files" (Vanilla means un-modified), and Dirty Files (Dirty meaning modified). Extract (or move) a freshly extracted JAM to the Vanilla Files folder. (You should have two folders in it, MENUDATA and GAMEDATA). Under Dirty Files, you create a new folder telling you what mod you're working on (If you wanted to make boss races the hard way, you would make a folder called "Boss Race".) Copy the Vanilla Files to the Boss Race folder, and you can start working on it without messing up your Vanilla Files. I personally do both of these. EDIT: Done, the game crashed saying Cannot find GI images.idb You have a 2001 copy of the game, which must run with a compiled LEGO.JAM. The 1999 version doesn't need a .JAM, and you are trying to run the 2001 copy like a 1999 copy. (This has been fully explored here.) You will need to rebuild your Dirty Files into a LEGO.JAM to run your game. JMMB's Python Extractor, while it's command line interface can be scary, does it pretty fast, much faster than the AIR version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
