Nice!!
Btw, I had the chance to talk with a developper that worked on Phoenix Rayman 4, Rayman Raving Rabbids cancelled prototype AND RRR final!
Here what I gathered (this is for RRR final and prototype):
-The prototype was an open world adventure game
-It was cancelled because "it didn't convinced"
-It had worlds, dungeons
-Globox was supposed to be back
-Teensies as well, lums
-Plums were supposed to be back too
-The ambient was slightly mature, there were guns, grenades
-Rayman used his hand as a hook
-Each costume had a special ability
-With the bat, spider riding system, there was a flying scooter
-A lot of gameplay prototype elements were recycled into minigames (Bunnies don't know what to do with cow is an example, he told me it was from a gameplay in the prototype when Rayman had to turn around himself, throw a box, so it lands on an electric generator)
-A lot of the riding minigames codes were based on King Kong code
-There is an "ORC" in the top scores of each minigame of RRR, "ORC" was in fact a level designer for the proto, and he worked on KK, but then he got downgraded to playtesting, so he did crazy scores
-Minigames were poorly designed because the head office gave them designers that were sold as experts, but in fact they had just finished their degree
These are all things that could be mentioned in the wiki page. Thanks for these informations! :D
No problem! ^^

Very nice informations you got for us again. The thing with the guns sounds a bit strange for a Rayman game, but a little more mature stuff into a Rayman game would had been cool.

I'm pretty sure he means cartoony guns, like the ones in the Robo-Pirates' arms or the ones the Hoodlums had, so that's not very strange. Probably a little more mature than that (or at least, that's how the old trailers looked), but not much.

In any case, congrats on getting the levels imported into 3ds Max szymski! That's a huge achievement. Now for the objects? :P

I vaguely remember someone making a Rayman Doom mod, don't know what happened to it though.

Thanks for clearing that up. I thought these were non cartoon weapons, making the game more mature like they nearly did with the Rabbids who nearly turned into killer monsters XD

Hm, this is odd. In the text file of Rayman 2 I've always seen a level mentioned before The Woods of Light named Astro 20 which I've assumed is the name for the intro or The Hall of Doors. However, in the French and Spanish parts it's instead replaced by:
Surprise !
Le Monde des Pirates
Using Google Translate it seems to mean "The World of Pirates". I'm not sure why it's there really, or if its maybe a part of the French and Spanish translations which I don't know about.

That's the list of levels from the Hall of Doors, or level select cheat. "Le Monde des Pirates" surely refers to the intro segment, which takes place in its own world (where the accounting is borked – 0/5 lums and 0/0 cages??), and was probably on the level selection list during development/testing.
There is no Astro_20 in the final game, but Astro refers to the latter parts of the Prison Ship level.

Haven't I posted this before? Then my bad :P
We already knew this oddity but we thought it wasn't important enough sorry :oops2:
There was also at some point in developpement a morbide_tst map (likely for morbide_test which means a test map of Tomb of Ancients) in N64 ROM, but it's not there anymore :pascontent:

Yeah, I saw the morbide_tst one in the PC demo files. I assumed it might have been the secret area before the Technical Check-Up which they later integrated with the last part of The Tomb of the Ancients.
Btw, regarding test levels, while looking through the GameCube version of Rayman 3 I saw a fully intact test level in the files which is not in the PC version. Is there any way of loading this level? I tried loading it into the PC version, but the GC level files seem to be compressed as they're about half the size of the PC ones.

Yeah, the test level files, it's not possible unfortunately, it crashes when loading. I think the problem from the tests I did is that he isn't finding a transit.lvl files, which is odd because it's supposed to be a Mad Trax testing map (according to textures) and Mad Trax doesn't have a transit.lvl files, but atm we can't load it :/

(fuck) :P
I can't blame him though.
The game is mediocre and forgettable at best.
I don't think I've played it more than once since it's original release.

While it's certainly not the best game, I still had some fun with it, I was particularly fond of the flying downwards minigame.
