That's completely different from me. I'm bad at the no-action levels.

Try to make Globox move!

Not possible. He's only in the PCX.

Globox is part of the background so he can't move, unless someone finds a way to edit the sprites of Rayman Designer and puts Globox in there.

That would require reverse-engineering of the WLD files, and I wouldn't know how to do that. However, I (and other Betilla's Gardens members, but mostly me ) have found a lot of glitches, which may someday help in deciphering the way the engine does things.

Glitches is always good! Try to make it output some more error messages.

There aren't really any error messages. If you delete essential files, it will say "no such file or directory", but that's it. Also, Events are grouped. If you add a group 9, it will be called "Try to do better than", which is what comes up when you replay a level, and group 10 is "No object grabbed", which is what comes up when you press N (the info button) when your mouse isn't on an event. This does tell us about string placement, I suppose.

I would like to play Rayman Designer again, but you know the XP problem...

Have you tried the patch? It seems to work for most people.

About the error messages: There is one really ugly messages. I don't remember the exact wording but in only appears when you've placed too many events in a level. It happened to me once, years ago, and the whole level was ruined because everytime I tried to start it, that message came and the game shut down.

I haven't a patch for Rayman Designer... and on XP it runs slowly.

There is a way to speed it up by setting the CPU cycles. I have forget howto do that..

Because I found on last year a cool guide of how to work with Rayman Designer, however the game itself runs slow on XP, and I would love to get the game working again, to try to make levels.

No, I meant editing the images. As far as I can see, you have found a way to edit the sprites available in the Mapper, but it would be great if someone found how to edit those used in the event editor (which are probably a series of different sprites actually).
By the way, that Jaxx guy is amazing, his Rayman skills are inhuman.

No we can't, they're packed/encrypted in the WLD files. The Mapper sprites are in PCXs, which can be opened in many modern image editors.

My Rayman Designer is working now.

Has anyone looked into them? Maybe there's a way to figure out how they are stored.

We can see the names of the spritepackages. However, we can't rename them, or the game would crash. I can't really figure out what way they're organised. I think I should be the Betilla's Gardens spokesperson here!

Request denied.

I didn't say it was a request. It was an expression of opinion, followed by a "lol" emoticon.
