Better Rayman 3

[Imco]

It seems to work okay for me. I'm missing half textures while playing, but it is probably due to my setup or something: it also happened to Rayman Arena as I tried to play the game a few months ago.

I think, in the ubi.ini you have TnL set to 1, change TnL=1 to TnL=0 and you should be good to go.

Hey Rib, I don't wanna annoy or something... but I kinda discovered how to fix the cutscenes issue just myself. It's simple: The original bink files are all rendered at 320x400. I simple rerendered one clip at 360x400 and boom: I see it
Only thing I am still working around is, that the Audio track cannot be detected somewhy.

EDIT: Jup got that worked around too, Sound Track IDS is 2.

OMG really? I tried that and the files simply failed to play. Thanks! I'll quickly try to implement this and release an update.

[OCG]

Hell yeah! OMG if this really works, we will finally have TRUE DEFINITIVE Rayman 3 version

Changing the cutscene resolution causes the audio track to break? It works when using the normal widescreen method even if you can't see it.

Nope, it's just because the bink files have the audio in track 2 for some reason. All you have to do is make sure the audio stays there when converting the files.

[Snagglebee]

For some reason I simply cannot get the audio track to run even when placed on Track 2, because appearently the original files do have an older sound format while the converter compresses the audio into a new format which appearently doesn't work in Rayman 3.

[OCG]

RibShark, I have a small optional request if you could do it. Could you also provide stretched cutscenes to 1920x1080 resolution in Widescreen patch so that people can choose if they want stretched cutscenes or download regular converted one?

[RibShark]

I'll get round to it eventually, OCG. On the bright side of things I have definitely found a fix for the audio issues.

EDIT: Actually, the cutscenes stretch automatically, so they won't need to be converted to to that.

That's great to see! So we can expect an update within a couple days?

I would say so. But don't forget it is thanks to you that we know how to get the cutscenes to show. (Maybe soon I could replace them with the high quality ones found in the HD version).

I did that. It crashed. It crashes every time I'm trying.

I uninstalled the game, reinstalled it, did everything as Rib said. I even restarted my laptop. Still the same:
- TnL=1: Everything is fine, but half textures are missing. Like I said before, I got the exact same issue with Rayman Arena. It seems my antivirus is blocking something maybe. I should try with it turned off.
- TnL=0: Game crashes right after the Ubisoft cutscene (it crashes while the static logo is appearing, so when the resolution would work).

Unless it's my antivirus, here are a few of my specs:
- OS: W8.1.
- GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 765M.

Seriously, f*** it :/.

I am willing to bet that Windows 8 itself is causing the issue.

[Imco]

I am willing to bet that Windows 8 itself is causing the issue.

I am willing to bet it's not. I'm using Windows 8.1 as well, and it works perfectly fine

[OCG]

Damn, Windows 8 is spreading like cancer on people's PC's. I keep seeing more and more people using it :\

[PluMGMK]

That's kind of normal for the newest version of Windows at any given point in time.
I'm no fan either, but it's the reality. :/

[Master]

Considering that Win 7 has stopped being supplied last month, Win 8 is going to take over at some point or another. Using Classic Shell on mine makes the experience far more manageable. Looking forward, WinX does a nice job in combining the live tiles from the start screen, and the classic start menu. One can only hope that these changes are due to MS getting the hint.

As for Sae's issue, I recall not being able to force 1080p on R3 prior to using Ribshark's patch, it behaved properly once I had it in place. Here's my ubi.ini file for comparison:

Code: Select all

[Rayman3]
Gli_Mode=1 - 1920 x 1080 x 32
Adapter=0
TnL=1
TriLinear=1
Identifier=D7B78E66-4956-11CF-2979-0718B6C2C735
DynamicShadows=1
StaticShadows=1
Video_BPP=32
Video_WantedQuality=2
Video_AutoAdjustQuality=1
Camera_VerticalAxis=5
Camera_HorizontalAxis=2
VignettesFile=Vignette.cnt
TexturesQuality=16
TexturesCompressed=0
Language=English
[Rayman Arena]
Video_WantedQuality=0
Video_RealQuality=0
Video_BPP=32
Video_AutoAdjustQuality=1

EDIT: Right, I dug back even further, I believe this was what Ribshark recommended to me when I was having problems initially, see if it helps you too:

Hmm, why bother looking for screenshots, when you can make your own? Use R3's screenshot tool, and an external one like FRAPs, once you've got a nice image, take a screenshot with the ingame tool. In the second where the HUD disappears, use the external tool. That's how I've been able to get those higher resolution images on the Wiki.

Speaking of R3's visuals, does anyone have any suggestions for this problem I have? I've done the tnl thing, so this is something different:

Hmm, need a bit of help here, I've been trying to get Rayman 3 to behave itself, but I'm getting visual glitches: http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/521 ... 25F88ADED/

Tnl is off, so why that's happening, I'm not sure.

This happens on some graphics cards. Try running the game with 3D Analyzer and change some of the options (Use Software TnL might help, but you might have to reenable TnL in Ubi.ini).

[saerleiya]

Mmh according to many websites, textures issue seems to be related to Intel HD Graphics. I tried to do as advised (run vertex processing as software in 3D sttings, blablabla...).

Yup, because R3 is using integrated graphic card to run, and it is an Intel HD Graphics 4600. So yeah, it is not linked to the fucking OS (it was working on my last laptop which was under W7 and it was working very well, period).

I'll try to follow Master's settings, but I don't know if it will be better (I don't have Static/Dynamic Shadows on for example).

[Master]

Hmm, I've forced Rayman 3 to use the GT 840M on mine, useful if you want an extra kick.

As for 3D Analyse, when you're in there enable software TnL as Ribshark recommended, I believe that did the trick for me.

[saerleiya]

How did you force that? Only the integrated GPU is available for me .

EDIT: Forget about it...it works! Seems the issue was coming from the quality of the textures: it's only working in 16 bits. The game crashes for 32 bits, which is...awkward.

It was in the dropdown menu for me:
