Rayman Pirate-Community

I still can't figure out how the encryption byte is determined. I have some evidence that the game system also checks the 8-bit checksum.

Putting the technicality aside, I wrote a simple code that detect the PCX header pattern and used this to rip all the images inside.

My laptop died a few months ago and I lost most of the file therein, including the ripping algorithm I wrote down. Now I only have a couple of files.
I reuploaded them:

Ripped from Rayman 1 ALLFIX.DAT
Ripped from Rayman 1 RAY1.WLD

Yes, I am surprised by the quality of the program Chacanger is making, and now looking forward to see the beta release

Hi everyone,

It has been a long time since I visited here last time.

Unfortunately my laptop died out a few months ago and I lost all the data therein, and then I have been too busy with my job to begin the project again.

Hopefully it seems that another user is building up a nice level editor, so ...

Thank you for all those responses!

And any help will be very appreciated as I sill don't know large portion of the data. Here I am summarizing what I have known so far (still on progress):

Hi again!

I know that this is yet a quite old topic, and people are now rarely interested in it. Nevertheless I have a small plan to develop a new mapper that works for any variants of Rayman 1 (that is, the original Rayman 1, Rayman Designer and ...

Okay, it turns out I was silly.

Unlike Rayman 1 (where multiple palettes are used for each world), Rayman Designer uses a single color palette for each world.
Using that palette seems to give the correct sprites.

Since converting animation sequences into GIFs takes considerable time, I will upload ...

What's up with anim_0_59? It's just a bunch of round things moving back and forth diagonally, nestled in among the other Rayman animations. I remember screwing around with Rayman Advance and replacing Rayman's walk cycle with his other animations, and that one came up.

I am afraid I neither have ...

RD and R1 encode data in a slightly different way, but in general ...

Actually, I know how to get the palette's but still don't know which palette is a correct one.

It seems that Rayman 1's color palette system is quite weird.

Playing with R1's level files (.LEV), I found that there are 3 different color palettes in a single level file. And more weirdly, which ...

Hello everyone!

I am very glad to meet you guys. I joined this community just now, so please forgive me If I am ignorant on community standards and history.
It makes me happy that there are still a sustainable amount of people interested in Rayman 1 and eager to go deep inside the game.


Anyway, I ...
