[VIDEO REVIEW] TrixBrix: custom LEGO-compatible train tracks
Tcm0 replied to Sariel's topic in LEGO Train Tech
They stole the modular switch idea from 4dbrix. -
There was already a project like that: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/49a40d31-be73-49c8-8bb9-60bdbffaa74d

Do you have a prototype or something? I'd love to see how you fit the parts into the train etc. I'm working on something similar: an ATTINY85 (the microcontroller that gets used in the digispark) which gets controlled from the track via light (possibly infrared in the future).

How could I provide power and/or data coupling between train cars?
Tcm0 replied to TK2241's topic in LEGO Train Tech
Looks good. Is it possible to attach two of the parts to one coupler to have four wires (required for data transfer like I²C)? -
They have more friction (which is a problem in curves) and they can derail at the slightest hill because they can't rotate vertically.
-
Are you sure that it would work well? In my experience the normal turntables don't work very well for that purpose.

LEGO City Undercover being ported to other platforms 2017
Tcm0 replied to npgcole's topic in LEGO Media and Gaming
For those of you who want to play it in (almost) Full HD on PC (there is a bug with that you can't agree to the changes in the settings): 1. start the game, wait until you are in the menu and exit it properly 2. Go to %appdata%\Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment\LEGO City Undercover 3. Change the following lines (might work for other resolutions, too): ScreenWidth 1920 ScreenHeight 1080 WindowWidth 1920 WindowHeight 1079 4. delete the "CachedShaders" folder 5. Start the game You can change the resolution ingame, too but you will probably get a black screen at 1080p. The first cutscene seems to be directly taken from the original game and thus has only a decent quality. -
Aren't both the same?
-
I think so. But it was just driving some agricultural machines around at one "height". But the models were 3D and you could drive anywhere you wanted.
-
I'm pretty sure that farming simulator 2012 came before the chase begins :P

[Will be updated frequently] Amiibo Transporting
Tcm0 replied to Tir McDohl's topic in LEGO Train Tech
Yeah, you can probably store the current waggons, the load of the waggons and whatever. A few numbers should fit into the storage. But you could also use lego dimensions NFC tags. They probably fit directly under the train and they already have studs to attach them. -

Tcm0 replied to Tir McDohl's topic in LEGO Train Tech
I think that NFC could be very well used for the trains itself, not only for display purposes. You could register wagons to engines, you could distinguish different engines from each other on a relieable way etc. if every engine had it's own rewritable NFC tag. -
Or he could use an adapter cable (lego sells two different lengths: 8886 and 8871).

Reminds me a bit of what happened with lego the hobbit where they announced a DLC for the last movie that never came. Let's hope that they try to fix as many bugs as possible until the final release. It would be sad to see the game abandonned with the current bugs.

It's a complete open world. You can't access everything in the beginning (probably so that you can get used to the game without forgetting where you have to go) and the game tries to move you to continue with the story but you aren't forced to do it. You can run around in the world after completing the game. Some quests are on the open world but there are some old school levels, too. It's a relatively large world but they cheated a bit (there is a mountain that you can't fly over and there is a bay in the middle of the map). Still I'd say that it's larger than the world of lego marvel super heroes. You have to complete the story and the side quests to reach 100%. But the side quests can become a bit repetetive and some of them are that you have to collect something etc.
