Capturing the ambience of LEGO Island 2

This minigame-packed adventure explores many classic LEGO themes.

Running the game

There are two main versions of the game to chose from: the original 2001 release, and an improved 2007 version released as part of a two-pack. There is also apparently an unfinished, unreleased v1.1 with some bug fixes.

Curiously, the version hosted on MyAbandonware seems nearly identical to other 2001 releases I found. There appear to be minimal differences between the two.

All versions use a simple disk check; mounting an ISO with a tool like Daemon Tools suffices. There are also No-CD hex-edits available if you're interested.

Debug menu and Level-select

We can access LI2's debug menu by altering the main menu options. I found some hex-edits for this on RRU. If you're not comfortable with hex-edits you can try using a patcher or patch, or LI2 Mod Manager.

04 00 00 00 02 -> 01 00 00 00 11 43 52 45 44 49 54 53 -> 44 45 42 55 47 00 00

Widescreen

Use the resolution and widescreen hacks offered by LI2 Mod Manager. See this thread for more detail on how it works.

Hiding UI and Player-character

This is possible using Lego Island 2 Game Editor. It's a powerful albeit buggy application for modifying LI2 assets.

If LI2GE doesn't work, for example to edit fonts, you can use Lego Island 2 Extractor and/or Lego Island 2 Explorer. Once installed, be sure to disable automatic updates inside the program's INI to avoid startup crashes.

LI2 will prefer to load files from identically-named folders if they are present in the _data directory. For example, if a Fonts folder exists, its files will be used and Fonts.bob/bod won't be loaded.

We can also pause the game to remove the HUD, screenshot this state, and create a no-HUD overlay for our footage.

(Not) Free camera

A modder devised a way to summon a glider at any time.

Rendering ambience sequences

I recommend using the Fruity LSD effect with FL Studio. First, open the MID file in LEGO Island 2's level files, for example Fishing_Amb.mid. Be sure to select MIDI Out with Fruity LSD in the subsequent dialog.

Afterward, click the folder icon in the top left to specify a DLS file - use one found in your MID file's folder. Once it's loaded, populate each channel by clicking it, and picking the corresponding patch. Don't forget to populate the "percussive" one-shots as well (Channel 10 in the screenshot below).

You are now ready to play your MID with the intended samples attached, or export it to a WAV file.

Appendix: Rendering music sequences

Download DirectMusic Producer. Supposedly this program allows you to export samples and sequence data. You could then render the pair using the MIDI renderer of your choice, such as OpenMPT or FL Studio's Directmusic plugin.

Appendix: Ambience sequence dead-ends

I tried VLC, with the DLS configured under FluidSynth, but this gave no output. I tried Miles Sound Tools with a DLS specified, but again - no output. I tried Winamp but seemingly couldn't get in_midi to use a custom DLS file, despite specifying one in the setting dialogs.

Appendix: Other LI2 developer tools

A soak test can be activated by pressing F8 while in windowed mode. You can also spawn a debugger window by pressing F9.

Hey guys. So, LI2 Repainted has been on hiatus for ages now. This is due to a lack of motivation, other things going on in life, and due to my current lack of memes for the resource folder. However, here’s some good news: I’ll be getting back to work on it soon!

Mod Amy is gone, by the way. Some things happened between us (for awfully petty reasons, being honest; not just on her part, but mine too), and she left.

I’m also starting a surprise side project unrelated to Lego Island, but it’s a repainted game. But yeah, expect LI2 Repainted progress to resume soon enough.

Wow, this blog sure is growing.

First of all, thank you so much!

But also, got any memes? LI2 Repainted is still incomplete, even after months and months of procrastination and some work. I need your memes to finish it. So, if you’re wondering what the game is going to be like, here’s some old footage of the final level of LI2.

The perfect image resolutions are 16px, 32px, 64px, 128px, and 256px squares. Submit an Imgur album or two. Thanks, mate.

It's been a long time since I've played the game, but if I remember correctly, to walk on water, if you climb up a hill under a bridge you will fall and slide down onto the river. As long as you stay away from the shore you should be able to walk anywhere

Absolutely incredible

Send me images to add to LI2 Repainted, I’m desperate for everything in your shitpost folders. Best sizes are 128x128, 64x32, 256x256, 32x32, 64x64, and if you have any ridiculous 16x16s send those in as well.

Oh yeah, by the way, I’m not sure if I announced this or not, but like half a year ago, Spag’s (the person making the Sun version of LI2 Repainted) computer fucking died. So, LI2 Repainted Sun is dead. The saddest part of the loss of his compy is all the memes we lost. It’s been months and I’m still not over the loss of a single stupid screenshot from the Roblox website.

Wow... it's been a while. It's Mod Pepper, how's it been? I've been procrastinating instead of working on LI2 Repainted, and I haven't gotten to confessions either. I haven't been doing everything I used to do, so that's probably why.

#Mod Pepper

[dirty-lego-island-confessions]

I’m trying not to use duplicate textures, but I have only maybe around 300, and every .bob/.bod has 200 - 275 textures in it. Message me any silly pictures you have, everything counts. Don’t be ashamed to mail in the memes.

#submit pictures if you only have a few or submit links to imgur albums or zip/rars if you have a shitload #mod pepper #LI2 Repainted #not confession
