Re: Rayman Raving Rabbids - Prototype Restoration Mod
Excellent work! Each ported map work is getting better and better, keep up! Also I have 1 year outdated but good news at the same time (sorry for Reddit stuff but still). https://www.reddit.com/r/Rayman/comment ... g_rabbits/
And Hunchman801, good luck on adding a new information on the Raywiki about RRR.

Re: Rayman Raving Rabbids - Prototype Restoration Mod
Amazing progress! Now I wonder which of the Jade engine games is next.
Re: Rayman Raving Rabbids - Prototype Restoration Mod
Damn, there's a lot to reply to
Also, I had to disable all AI so yeah I used noclip.
I've been curious about the mechanics similarities as well. It seems around this time they started imagining a very flexible and bouncy Rayman (which I think fits him very well -- at least more than the very clunky/heavy R1 Rayman for example) and then continued that trend into the UbiArt games.
Maybe if a BG&E2-1 (LyN version) prototype is ever released I'll want to dig into it.
Anyway, some more videos from a few days ago, testing custom mounts:

You can run RRR's executable with BG&E's files? I don't think any of that works though, right?PluMGMK wrote: ↑Sun Sep 12, 2021 2:47 pmFor the record (in case anyone reads this after I change it), my current "location" is "Jade_enr.exe /B /TX sally_clean.bf", representing a "wrong" way of doing this, at least with unmodified files. As a "location", it's modelled on Fifo's "rm -rf /*" as a destructive command, since my "method" actually corrupts your BG&E file!
One question: do those "elevators" in the DomZ base actually work on Rayman, or did you sneakily use noclip?
Also, I had to disable all AI so yeah I used noclip.
Possible yes, but also much more complicated than what I've been doing now and not really worth all that effort. Modding is fun, but if there's a lot of work involved there's a certain point where you'd be better off just making your own game.paulnewman2001 wrote: ↑Sun Sep 12, 2021 5:12 pm Looks really cool!, question, would it be possible to port R2 or 3 maps into RR?
Yeah, I did the same thing a while back -- pretty funny how many times they wanted to use "Rayman Adventures" only for it to eventually end up in a mobile game...PluMGMK wrote: ↑Sun Sep 12, 2021 8:34 pm By the way, I decided to reread the RRR and Origins chapters of L'histoire de Rayman to see if there was any reference to the similarity in player mechanics between Rayman 4 and Origins. It wasn't mentioned, but I did see that this Rayman 4 project was apparently codenamed "Rayman Adventures" at one point!

The format use a similar structure in general and a lot of similar terminology (e.g. levels are WorldLists, GameObjects have modifiers, etc.) but the contents are quite different. LyN is like a more advanced and C++ version of Jade (which is C). I'm not interested in developing anything for the LyN games though, as I don't really like any of them.Showin wrote: ↑Sun Sep 12, 2021 10:11 pmAlright. I'll keep an eye out. Out of curiosity are the JADE engine games similar enough to the LYN engine games that the tools could eventually be made to support those as well? They seem to be very similar from what I've looked into and getting a deeper look into Rabbids Go Home would also be something I'd love to do eventually.

Re: Rayman Raving Rabbids - Prototype Restoration Mod
Yeah, if you actually run what it says in my location, all it does is crash and corrupt the BF! It writes some form of timestamp somewhere, but in the BG&E file, writing to that location just seems to corrupt some dialogue sound files!
But anyway, custom mounts! Amazing!
Also, Jade didn't use C++ at all? Interesting…

Re: Rayman Raving Rabbids - Prototype Restoration Mod
About spider, acording what I heard, spider was also cut from Peter Jackson's King Kong the movie game. Does the model and code of the spider still remain in the King Kong's files and is it restorable and portable to RRR? And also about the eagle. Does model and code also still remain in Peter Jackson's King Kong and does eagle remain in another Jade Engine games to be ported to RRR?

The custom mounts are rather awesome indeed! So many ideas come to mind.

Re: Rayman Raving Rabbids - Prototype Restoration Mod
Indeed, this also reminds me of dinosaur from Rayman 2 prototype and literally final version.Hunchman801 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 15, 2021 6:59 pm The custom mounts are rather awesome indeed! So many ideas come to mind.
Fun Fact: the Rayman 2 prototype dinosaur also reappears in Rayman ReDesigner.
Edit: I also suggest saucers can attack option, also saucers can stuck in it's own collisions (like in bunnies sometimes recycles the scenery from other games stage when saucers can't fly higher than it's default hight or when they fly far away more than spawn place) I just suggest free from collisions like bat and eagle heave.

Sorry to say that early but you actually have unanswered questions and suggestions...Ilyaman wrote: ↑Thu Sep 16, 2021 1:12 pm Edit: I also suggest saucers can attack option, also saucers can stuck in it's own collisions (like in bunnies sometimes recycles the scenery from other games stage when saucers can't fly higher than it's default hight or when they fly far away more than spawn place) I just suggest free from collisions like bat and eagle heave.

Please be a bit patient, I do have things to do outside of answering questions on RPC you know.Ilyaman wrote: ↑Sat Sep 18, 2021 4:26 pmIlyaman wrote: ↑Wed Sep 15, 2021 11:06 am About spider, acording what I heard, spider was also cut from Peter Jackson's King Kong the movie game.

For the spider, it's based on something from King Kong but heavily modified. The spider model that RRR requires is different from the ones in King Kong.
I have not seen any usable eagle or spider in any Jade engine games (though King Kong has a different type of bat that can probably be used in RRR).
All code for both the spider and the eagle is still in the game, as we showcased in the Prototype Restoration video. Instead of using the bat behavior you can also make the game use the eagle behavior with an option in RCP, which makes the bat bigger, makes it use different animations and enables its shooting mechanic. For spiders, enabling this code is a bit problematic as it tries to access extra legs in the model that the robot doesn't have, but you can enable its jumping mechanic with an option in RCP as well.
For saucers: I can't just add things that have been removed entirely, such as the attack option, and I won't modify the height at which the saucers can fly as that is the behavior that the developers intended.
-------
Anyway, in the past few days I added the following games into RRR:
- Horsez 2
- Petz: Horse Club
- Movie Games / Movie Studios Party
- RRR2
So now I have a big (1.4GB) Rayman4.bf that has all assets (except text and sound) from all "Montpellier" branch Jade engine games.
I fixed a lot of issues with the export, for example converting textures to a format that RRR supports or converting vertex colors from BG&E to RRR, so almost everything looks correct now, and all maps that didn't work before also work now.
There more screenshots than I can post here so I'll only post one here and link to an imgur album.
More screenshots here: https://imgur.com/a/hQ2m8EV I also made 2 videos exploring Horsez 2 maps:
https://streamable.com/y6tpqf

Honestly I have no idea where I'm going with all this but we'll see!

Re: Rayman Raving Rabbids - Prototype Restoration Mod
The maps from Horsez 2 make for a rather interesting environment for Rayman, too.

Re: Rayman Raving Rabbids - Prototype Restoration Mod
This map does fit Rayman indeed, it's a shame that the original maps from the prototype seem to be gone though.

Re: Rayman Raving Rabbids - Prototype Restoration Mod
Maybe you're confusing it with RCP that is for Rayman Control Panel, a project by Raycarrot that unifies all utilities for Rayman games made by the community in one program, including this RRR mod

Re: Rayman Raving Rabbids - Prototype Restoration Mod
Em, no. That's actually deferent than RCP, and that's something connected with Rayman Raving Rabbids the game and it's files also this could be connected with Rayman 4 Prototype stuff.

Where did you read about this? Are you sure it's not just someone that misspelled RCP as RPC?

In which case, RPC refers to this place and nothing else.
