Full Map Extraction

Post by klegs »

Has anyone tried to remake the map using the models? If so, then is there usable positioning data in the code?

Others probably know more than me, but from memory, the map itself can be largely extracted with WDBRipper, though I don't think all of the game's models have been successfully extracted. But you can definitely see the world recreated in LEGO Island REDUX (a fan remake in Unity).

After looking into it, I believe most if not all of the main island models were successfully extracted, and LEGO Island REDUX isn't fully accurate to the original game (although still being very impressive). I have to assume that learning anything about the object positional data would require a much better understanding of the game's engine.
