If you've ever tried playing LEGO Island on a new computer, you'll be intimately familiar with the frustration involved as the overenthusiastic turn speed makes the controls far less accurate and very prone to oversteer. Join Discount Markiplier as he explores the causes behind this bug as well as all the different ways that this issue can be solved.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was doable. Ray-tracing can be rather simple to impliment if you have the source code and an intermediate knowledge of graphics rendering.

@nixel1324 4 года назад

Considering they got raytracing working in Doom (the original, not 2016), I'd say that's not too much of a stretch. From a technical standpoint, that is. I doubt anyone with the required knowledge still cares enough about this game.

@totallycarbon2106 4 года назад

@@Timsturbs to be clear, it's very different from what we think of as raytracing for 3D graphics today. In old sprite based shooters they used rays to figure out orientation, scaling and shading of sprites. However it was made possible by locking those rays to the x-z plane. So essentially super simple 2D raytracing in a 3D game. A cool trick, but got superceded by rasterization for rendering more "true" 3D games. Until GPUs got powerful enough for the raytracing revival.

@Saidriak 4 года назад

One thing to note is that this is how fighting games handle everything as well usually, Intentionally though. They want to make it fair and thus slow down gameplay if the game lags out, always ensuring that one of the players doesn't get a head start on the other one while the game freezes up.

@borderlinecrazy6444 2 года назад

And also feels horrible to play, which is why it's sorta being replaced by rollback. A system, which, instead of freezing one side until they sync back up, let's inputs continue and eventually "pulls back" one of the players to be in sync, which feels far better (though looks worse, due to "teleporting" and the like) but is still vastly preferable due to how much more playable it makes poorer connections

A bug I never see talked about is one that's exclusive to hardware mode, but doesn't always occur. I don't know why, but very often, when you use hardware rendering, you won't be able to click on things. Sometimes you can't enter the police station; sometimes you can, but you won't be able to build the helicopter, because every time you click on a piece, it knows you're clicking on _something,_ but it doesn't move the piece.

From the screenshots in the video it looks like he is using x64dbg and HxD to do his analysis. Most likely he is either using IDA or Ghidra also for static analysis. But showing assembly code makes you look smarter ;) They aren't easy tools to use by any means, and you definitely need to have a programming background first so you're familiar with concepts like memory, types, control flow and pointers and can apply that knowledge to guess how the game was programmed, if you wanted to take on the challenge of figuring it all out yourself. I'd recommend following Stephen Chapman's Cheat Engine tutorials, which covers much of the same ground.

The simple windows api (win2K) call had a horrendous resolution of 16 ms. Spinning your own took time and introduced more sources for bugs. Some games tried to display the FPS by just dividing 1 second by the time it took to render a frame in milliseconds. Less than 1 millisecond? 0. What happens when you divide 1 by 0? Crash. I still have some old games that can only be run at less than 100 FPS or they start bugging out and crashing. The good old games that needed the "turbo" button to be playable.

The firing them to get out of paying bonuses is, or was, a standard practice at LOTS of game publishers. They would use promises of post-shipping bonuses to motivate the team during 'crunch time' leading up to project completion (caused by the management teams poor planning and generally doing their jobs terribly) and then either fire everyone immediately before/after shipping, or, if they thought they could get away with it, transfer them onto another project and tell them they don't qualify for the bonus because they were transferred. It's really remarkable how thoroughly the gaming industry exploits all kinds of people because they know the people actually want to work on games.

I haven't tested it a whole lot yet, but there does seem to be a little quirk with this method: it seems the turning speed doesn't go slower when you are in the air. During the jet ski race, holding turn while going off one of the ramps will cause you to face the wrong way once you land. Possible this is a thing even when using a computer from the time, but you do have to hold the turn button down, not just tap it, making me think it is related to the turn speed still.

The same thing applies to newer MS-DOS laptops when you try to run older games on them; they are simply unplayable. However, the new Sinclair ZX Spectrum remake computer can run old games at a fast (but playable) frame rate. Maybe the LEGO team could’ve learned from this.

I like these videos! Honest question, is Lego island abandonware, or do I need to find an actual disk somewhere?

@spiritofnex 4 года назад

@Fro Zen Awesome! Thanks!

Abandonware is just a fancy psuedo-legal term fyi, it's still teeeechnically not 'legal' to download an abandonware title. It just means it's not available for sale anywhere, so there isn't really much difference between 'illegally' and 'legally' getting a copy

@@SpeedySPCFan but when its abandonware they wont go out of the way to shut down downloads atleast

making me remember one time i felt like replaying MechWarrior 3. i grabbed that for an old Dell laptop i had about 5-6 years ago, which was ok for it's time, but overkill for MechWarrior. i booted the game up, did a skirmish match after customizing a MadCat, and i couldn't play at all. for some reason, the increased CPU performance from what the game was designed for made it so the mech's legs were stuck in the ground and couldn't move. it was like they'd try to move, but then clip into the floor and was stuck in place. looking up the issue online, i found some app that would slow down my processor clock speed to the point the game would play normally

Damn you bring so much memorys back with the Lego Isöand videos. Soooooo long ago..... I feel old now

@ScTiger1311 3 года назад

Somehow I've never played this game and it's still nostalgic

@jacobpavone3477 2 года назад

that velocity turning thing would be fantastic if you simply increased the acceleration and deceleration rate; that would make it more responsive while also making sure a tiny tap of the key didn't jerk you left or right suddenly

Lot of good chiptune songs packed in this video, a list of them would be great. Music that starts at 2:15 is zacat by Zalza.

@stal2496 3 года назад

in the GoldenEye 007 (n64) the movement speed is tied to the FPS. so a speedrunner looked at the ground. and got the world record. there would be a same case with fallout 3 and new vegas but theres a rule that is just that you need the FPS to be capped at 60 (not sure might be 59 fps)

Amazing how satisfying it is to watch a guy and his obsession with a now 22 year old game. I also have lego island still in my heart and i still have the win 98 pc of my dad for nostalgy i reactivated it a few days ago and it sill runs flawlesly the good old pentium 3

@hdfsyu Год назад

wait... "it wasn't personal - it was just business". THATS A LINE FROM THE LEGO MOVIE!

@Pentross 3 года назад

What was the actual solution you implemented? Turn on smooth turning, and set acceleration to 50k?

@Consolethinks 2 года назад

late reply, but it's just basically "current_turnspeed = max_turnspeed * delta_time"

I love that you're doing stuff with lego island. It's of my favourite lego games😂😂

@jaysmith3495 Год назад

I noticed a similar thing revisiting Lego Island 2. The helicopter is way too fast on modern PCs. I just fixed it by using the Nvidia control panel to lock my monitors frame rate at 30 FPS.

"Delta-time is a solution that all games should use, and if a game doesn't, then that just means the devs forgot." I really don't think that's reasonable... delta-time is a design choice, not some magic bullet that a dev would be stupid to not use. It complicates the hell out of game logic, leading to a bunch of bugs when not done correctly. Just look at GTA San Andreas to see how bad it can get.

@MartinzW 3 года назад

As a QA I've noticed devs are very specific what should be called bug versus what shouldn't be as "bug" suggests it's an error in their code. So when you said that the devs admitted they noticed the "bug" only later suggests they had a clear idea how the turning should work and it is not working as they intended and your exploration of their code confirms this. If it was a forgotten framerate cap then they would perhaps label it as a bug for the whole game rather than just turning. Of course, that was long time ago and I don't know the full context so I'm just guessing.

Want a Challenge? - try and fix "Hogs of War" - I managed to get the game loading and 'working' through various compatibility settings, and "3dAnalyzer", but there was menu slowdown, and graphical bugs (missing/transparent textures) etc!!
