NEW RELEASE! - Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc HD for PC v2.1

[IHaveRayman4]

So I seemed to discover a bug with the texture mod where the 2nd zombie chicken egg dispenser in The Desert of the Knaaren Doesn't dispense/spawn any eggs at all which makes the level impossible to complete. I did some research before I discovered what the problem was and I find it crazy no one is mentioning this apart from one comment in a completely different thread for v1.0: viewtopic.php?p=1338024#p1338024

I've played from start to the desert of knaaren and so far that is the only bug/glitch I've encountered and I think it would be a good idea making a section of the main post listing known bugs.

I fixed the issue by simply reinstalling the game and resuming my gamesave.

This is also my 1st post (sorry if there's any rules broken here) I just made an account as I felt this really needed to be addressed.

The texture mod makes the egg not appear? That's weird. By the way, the other post you linked is about the original Rayman 3 HD for Xbox 360 and PS3, not v1.0 of this mod. I wonder if it's something to do with the extra memory taken up by the HD textures…

That bug is not related to any mods. It's a known bug in the game which has a small chance of happening. Usually restarting the game will fix it.

I think I only ever had it happen to me once, and it was on PS2. With the amount of times I played this level, I'm surprised I only encountered it once.

[The Jonster]

I've had this happen once in the PC version myself. I've had the rock glitch in HH2 (where you get hit and drop the rock in the lava) happen to me more often, so certainly there could be more glitches to be discovered regarding these carrying objects, but who knows...

Maybe there's something which limits the occurrence of the bug.
Please upload your save from that moment if you still have it, and it the problem constantly occurs. And provide which resolution you use.

From things worth to check:
- Limiting the game FPS to 30/25
- Lowering resolution
- Unlocking FPS (it probably requires deleting d3d8to9 and replacing by dgVoodoo to avoid graphic glitches)
- uninstalling Better Rayman

I restarted my game 3 times, I must've had extremely bad luck. After the egg not spawning for the 3rd time in a row that's when I decided to reinstall the game without installing the HD 2.0 textures and it worked.

After I reinstalled the game I tried playing the level once again then finished it before writing my first message about the bug so i think its too late sorry.

Great mod! Certainly better than what we got from Ubi on X360 and PS3, but still having problems.
1. Black background on the menu
2. Problems with Polish font
3. The font is still in low resolution
4. Rayman's head still has its normal colors after using the can.
5. Unable to select HUD adapted to the controller from X360 / PS3

[deton24]

Polish font fix:

For Non-Mulit5 users: (Basically for those that have the Slovak, Czech, Hebrew, Polish or Russian versions:)
-there is an issue with the fonts, however there's an easy fix for this:

Combining your textures with Hakyra's was an amazing idea!

[PluMGMK]

Shoot, I hadn't noticed that they had pulled that off! I think surely this is the texture pack I will use on my next playthrough then!

[Vaniberry]

Thanks to everyone who worked hard on this MOD, I'm already loving it!
I've noticed these things while playing:

-Rayman's hair stays intact even after picking up a Combat Fatigues' Laser Detergent from the Hoodlums.
-Rayman's metal details on his hoodie straps are missing and are instead using the texture of the hoodie itself.
-The menu background is empty and so is the score shown at the pause screen.
Here's some screenshots to show what I mean.

I've just reached the second area of The Bog of Murk, so if I notice stuff like this in the future i'll make sure to let you know.
These are just kind of nitpicky, so take it with a grain of salt! This is my first time ever playing the PC version of R3 so, this is such a nice way to start up things! (I've previously played the PS2, Xbox and Gamecube versions of the game).

If memory serves, black main menu can be fixed when 4K resolution is set.

[manuth]

@TRJTA I found myself able to get the menu UI to work by scaling your texture down to 1024x1024 (if anyone needs an explanation on how to do it I can post it here).
Oddly enough this seems to fix the issue (for those who don't have an UHD (4K) monitor).

Looks like the menupc texture mustn't have a bigger resolution than your monitor.
Could you create a separate package for HD and UHD (4K)?

[deton24]

You could upload the texture file.

[manuth]

Oh - you're right
There you go

[Retrofuge]

Oh, this is pretty great, I really need to try this out. It's nice to see we are getting the proper way to experience a Rayman 3 HD remaster, other than the botched up attempt from Ubisoft.

[manuth]

@Vaniberry, @TRJTA in order to fix Rayman's hair when wearing suits, a friend of mine who's a Digital Artist, Lanahpyon, cleaned the original textures which I scaled up using the same upscaler like TRJTA did.
Sadly I had to upload the files to my personal cloud as the attachment sizing rules are too strict.

Could you please explain how to do it?

[deton24]

Do it like in this guide:

Open RCP, then CNT Explorer, then find in what folder given textures are stored and overwrite them in this folder - pick downloaded "textures" folder from the link above instead of tex32 folder in the video.
