OpenLRR is an open-source re-implementation of the 1999 real-time strategy game LEGO Rock Raiders.
Gameplay
As a re-implementation, OpenLRR requires a copy of the original game to already be installed on the computer.
Development
Development of OpenLRR began in 2021 when programmer Robert "trigger-segfault" Jordan started work on a decompilation of LEGO Rock Raiders. Jordan posted a summary of his research into how the game's Lego.cfg syntax functions on the website Rock Raiders United on June 17, 2021.[2] He released a Python patch on June 27 to fix some of the game's audio issues.[3]
decompiled LEGO Rock Raiders using Ghidra, used the September 27 English version of the EXE (often referred to as the Masterpiece executable), as it was considered to be the most stable and widely-used version of the game.[4][note 1]
Notes
- ↑ The English version of LEGO Rock Raiders has three known executable versions: a September 25 version, a September 27 version (the Masterpiece edition, called such as it was included in LEGO Masterpiece-labeled released of the game), and an October 12 version (which includes SafeDisc protection).
