Rayman Chronicles (Help Needed! (Idea's, Music, Art, Prog))

Athlon II? That sounds fairly modern.

Derp... Can't ... find an update? Where can I find these?

[MindOfCreativity]

Ehh ... I've tried to install UDK, but it won´t start the installer for some reason?
Might be because it's too big? Idk
I actually want a simple engine. Nothing too advanced or graphical with lots of filters.
Something that runs smoothly on slower computers.

The Unreal Engine isn't very intensive at all, and it would be plenty easy to run it on mid to low range computers.

What error message are you getting (if any) that's preventing it from installing? Some info is better than none.

Ehh ... It doesn't show any error messages. Nothing happens? My computer gets an immense slow-down.

Ehh ... I think I want to use CryEngine 3 instead, you see, the "problem" why it was running slowly is now "fixed".
So I'll use that instead.

I was wondering if you could give me some tips on how to learn how everything works + programming etc.
I want it to be a platformer ofcourse. Similar to your project, but my thoughts and idea's differ a lot from yours.

How do I export my models from Maya to CryEngine in HQ with lots of faces/polygons?

Where do I start?

Any tips?

Thanks~

Here, just to show that the game is still ... in ... very slow development.
After 1000s of problems I've FINALLY managed to import my Rayman Model.
Now I need to find out how to edit the game's code so I can give it third person movement with an automatic camera.
And get rid of all the weapons and change the main character to Rayman.

How?

I don't know .

I have to figure that out ..

Is that CryEngine you've switched to?

[Adsolution]

Ah, he is using CryEngine!

To do those things you've asked, follow these steps:

1 - In CryEngine3/Game, open up Scripts.pak with an archiver, and browse to Scripts/Entities/Actor/Player.lua. Extract that file and create the corresponding directory in the Game folder (Game/Scripts/Entities/Actor/) and place the extracted file in there. Be sure to uncheck Read Only if it is checked.

2 - Open up Player.lua with Notepad. near the top you should find these directories:

Code: Select all

		fileModel = "Objects/Characters/Agent/Agent.cdf",
		clientFileModel = "Objects/Characters/Agent/Agent.cdf",
		fpItemHandsModel = "Objects/Weapons/Agent_fp/Agent_fp_Global.chr",
		objFrozenModel= "Objects/Characters/Agent/Agent.cdf",

-which lead you the directory of your character. Place your character in whatever directory you please, but for the sake of convenience I would imitate the current layout, that being to store your characters in Game/Objects/Characters. Now just change all those to Rayman's directory.

3 - To play in a preset orbital cam third-person, just hit F1 twice while in-game. The first time makes you jump into a third-person strafe cam mode, the second time puts you into a much more MMORPG/platformer type of camera, which is actually straight up what I use for ROTD (which I will end up modifying at some point).

Thanks a LOT! adsolution,

This really helped me out! I still have to (re)-rig my Rayman model and possibly make a better one.
I was also wondering if you could change the view on startup and to disable the other views?
And maybe add an automatic camera, like it most 3D platformers.

But thanks a lot for helping me out, I really appreciate it!

Is that CryEngine you've switched to?

Ehh ... kinda went from Unity to CryEngine 3 to Unreal Engine to Unity, then cleaned up my computer a bit and went back to CryEngine (which runs pretty well on the "high-quality" setting and almost flawless on the "low-quality" setting)

Did you successfully export Rayman as a rigged CHR? If you did, that's impressive since it's a very difficult thing to get working the first time.

Ehr... not yet ^^; I was studying the scripts, I hope I'll figure it out. But I'm afraid it won't be that easy ...
There have even been a few moments when I was just about to give up on the project, but then thought how big this is to me.

See, I wanted this since I was little, it had always been a big dream to me.

Adsolution, do you have Skype or MSN?
If you don't want to be bothered with questions about CE3, just tell me

[Adsolution]

You can add me on Skype: RayFan9876.

Added =)

[MindOfCreativity]

New Model!

[Adsolution]

It's much nicer! I think his torso and hair though are a bit too small.

[MindOfCreativity]

Thanks a lot!
Could you help me a bit with the eye-rigging once I'm done resizing the torso and hair?

[Adsolution]

Yup, definitely. I'll reply to your Skype message soon too.
