Beach Life Virtual Resort: Spring Break - Opening and Editing The .BLE Game Files

Image
images taken from the game and from the game manual I have an itch to play Beach Life every now and then. The last time it happened, I found a band-aid solution to guests complaining about high prices. I wanted to make more changes if I could but I couldn't find a way to open and read some of the script files. There are some files in the game that are readable on notepad ( GameParameters.pis and the other . pis files on each scenario and sandscenario folder) but when you try to open up the . ble files, you only see random symbols. I've tried tools that I've seen recommended online ( Game Extractor , Ghidra , Offzip to name a few). Admittedly, I did just glaze over them because I know nothing about reverse engineering a game and didn't know what to do. I have an inkling to play it again recently, and I decided to try an idea that has been looming over my head but have been avoiding.... The GameParameters.pis file had a header containing the file name, and I notice...

The Lord of the Rings Online: Rise of the Isengard



I haven't played LOTRO for several months now (I think?) due to my still confuzzling schedule but I might play again once the new expansion pack Rise of the Isengard is released. Aside from the new maps and quests, the level cap will be raised to level 75. The freebies, especially for the Legendary Edition are almost too good to pass up.

Below are the three different editions of the Rise of the Isengard expansion pack, along with their price and included items

Legendary Edition ($49.99)

  •     Full Rise of the Isengard expansion pack
  •     All three Rohirrim Style Mounts with a blanket & emblem in the colours of green, red and white
  •     All three sets of matching cosmetic Rohirrim Style armour in the colours of green, red and white
  •     An in-game title - Guard of the Isen
  •     Access to the Path of the Fellowship Quest Packs including Trollshaws, Eregion, Lothlórien and   Moria plus the Mirkwood Quest Pack as a special bonus
  •     1,000 Turbine Points for use in the LOTRO Store

 Pre-Purchase Bonuses

  •     A 25% XP Boost for all characters on your account that will last up to level 65
  •     All three cosmetic cloaks that match the colour of your armour and mount

Heroic Edition ($39.99)

  •     Full Rise of the Isengard expansion pack
  •     Your choice of one Rohirrim Style Mount with a red, green, or white coloured blanket and unique emblem
  •     A set of cosmetic armour that matches the colour of your mount
  •     An in-game title - Guard of the Isen
  •     1,000 Turbine Points for use in the LOTRO Store

 Pre-Purchase Bonuses

  •     A 25% XP Boost for all characters on your account that will last up to level 65
  •     A cosmetic cloak that matches the colour of your armour and mount

Base Edition ($29.99)

  •     Full Rise of the Isengard expansion pack
  •     A Rohirrim Style Mount with a red coloured blanket and sun emblem
  •     An in-game title - Guard of the Isen

 Pre-Purchase Bonuses

  •     A 25% XP Boost for all characters on your account that will last up to level 65
  •     A cosmetic cloak that matches the colour of your mount
There's only about a month left till the release date (9.27.2011) so it's a good idea to buy the new expansion now to get the additional pre-purchase bonuses. If you haven't tried LOTRO yet, I encourage you to sign up.
