Rayman Pirate-Community

If you were to make a new Rayman M, what would you want in it? I'd take out all the courses and replace them using Darkbasic. I thought some people could give me some new ideas and I could discuss what I have planned as the forum goes along. I keep a journal of my ideas as I go along. Then when I get a little older, like 15 or so, I can start understanding Darkbasic better. At the age of 13, I can't understand the DB programming language because of my math skills and inability to understand the language.

I'm trying to make new battle weapons, but keeping the originals along with adding some more value to them and possibly some more damage from the PS2 version. Here are some ideas I've gotten along with a graph of the old and new weapons.

1. 5 players including yourself.
2. New weapons.
3. Increase life from 5 to 7 life points. Replace life meter with hearts.(Ex: 5 hearts equal 5points of life)
4. Set new difficulty levels. Set IQ level from 1 to 10.
The next one is possibly for my programming only.
5. Disable Multi-Player feature, Lum Spring and Capture the Fly
6. Player 5 will be purple.
7. Include new characters and themes form Raytunes and Rayman Series.(being developed)
8. Put a time on the Ultimate Barrier to let player know how much time they have left to activate it again.

Damage is how many life points the weapon takes away from you. Value is how much of the weapon you get.
___Weapons______________Time_________________Value___________________________________Damage____________
Buzz Rocket.................................................1......................................................All
Fireworks...................................................12.....................................................1 per
Ultimate Barrier...........20 sec..........................2......................................................1 per
Fake Generator.............................................1......................................................4 per
Item Leech..................................................1..............................................depends on weapon
Rubber Bullets..............................................20.....................................................1 per
Rapids Bullets..............................................18..............................................3 max in a group
Freeze Bullets...............................................5.........................................vulnerable to any other weapon
Time Bomb..................9 sec..........................1.......................................................4 per
Energy Boomerang..........................................5......................................................2 per
Lock-on Missiles............................................10.....................................................1 per


Notes: Energy Boomerang is a replacement for Hound Bullets. I need four more weapons for the new battle weapons. Racing ideas still in development. I had to do the periods because the grammar would not take space and make it look like it was crammed together.

Definitions:

Energy Boomerang- fires energy-shaped boomerangs that target other players that unlike the Hound Bullets, they can't stop and crash into the wall.

Lock-on Missiles- firer(you) stand still like use of the Buzz Rocket and targets other players form an overhead view with missiles. Other players within the explosion range get hit and lose a life point. Firer still vulnerable to other weapons.

It may be a lot of info, but if this forum keeps active, I will continue posting more info on my ideas that may get commented on. Tell me what you think about this and give me some new ideas. If I could show you all my drawing of my new races battles, and ideas I would post them on here, but I don't know how. So I will list them and describe them. Leave me your thought, comments, and ideas here. Thanks!

You might have put "I don't know"

And I like the idea of creating his own character, and you should be make new characters of Rayman's games.

3. Increase life from 5 to 7 life points. Replace life meter with hearts.(Ex: 5 hearts equal 5points of life)

I agree, because because 5 points is not sufficient. 7 points is perfect.

However, should be a teleporter, if you did not already thought.


(Sorry for my english )

Multiplayer + 3D is definitely far more complicated. I highly suggest picking up Quake 3/Source Engine modding or something of that sort if you ever plan on something something so large.

If it's something that large I can program the basics. Then create lots of separate add-on features and then combine the them in to the original game for the PC. I can use Linux for the PS2 to make the new Rayman M. All I need to do is transfer the files form my PC to my PS2. I leave some updates later on characters.

I've been waiting for someone to make this topic! Alright, here we go!
==Characters==
Rayman
Globox
Robo-Pirate
Razorbeard
Teensies
Ly
Mister Dark*
Dark Rayman* (R1 look)
Antitoon
Clark*
Jano*
Polokus*
Reflux*
Hoodblaster
Andre* (floats)
A Rabbid (no costume, just a regular naked Rabbid)
Uglette*
Grolgoth*

* = Unlockable

==Stages==
All stages from original
The Dream Forest
Band Land
The Woods of Light
The Fairy Council
The Fairy Glade
Sanctuary of Rock and Lava
Sanctuary of Water and Ice (or Whale Bay)
The Prison Ship
Clearleaf Forest
Land of the Livid Dead
The Desert of the Knaaren
Rabbids' Lair (basically the stadium from RRR1)

There should also be a story mode. Mister Dark, Razorbeard and Andre have set up a footrace tournament. Rayman thinks they may be up to something, so he joins in, bringing Globox along with him. When they get there, they see a bunch of Rayman characters have signed up as well. Razorbeard tells everyone the rules of the competition, and for some reason they go along with it. Now, at the start of the game, you choose a character. It has to be a good guy or the Rabbid. Next, you race against other characters, and there are four people in a race. There are seven cups, three races in each cup. You have to win each cup. Then there is a cutscene showing that Mister Dark and Andre had imprisoned all of the world's inhabitatants on the Prison Ship while the other characters were distracted by racing games. Right before flying off, your character hops onto the Prison Ship and starts racing random Robo-Pirates and Hoodlums. After six races, they reach Razorbeard and the Crow's Nest. Mister Dark and Andre are with him, plus Reflux and Dark Rayman. You race them both at once and they are destroyed, for some reason. Then you race against both Mister Dark and Andre. This is VERY hard, as Mister Dark leaves Antitoons in his path while Andre leaves dark lums. They slow you down when touched. If you manage to beat them, you finally go up against Razorbeard in the Grolgoth. He's extremely hard and he can stomp you if you get too close, but it's possible. When you beat him, the Prison Ship starts plummeting to the ground. Quickly you break open everyone's cages on the ship and the purple birds from R2 (which were also captured) ferry everyone safely to the ground, except for you. So you jump off and land in Whale Bay, luckily. You go back to where all the characters are and they throw a feast, everyone lives happily ever after. Credits roll, and when they finish you receive a message telling you that you've unlocked the Grolgoth!

There should also be some bonus minigames. One where Sssssam and Carmen the Whale can race against each other in water. You can choose either character, and each one moves and controls quite differently. Another should be an air battle between the Grolgoth and Reflux's final form. The Grolgoth shoots rays while Reflux shoots those red things.

May update later!

Ly would be a bit unfair for the other players, because she can teleport.

She doesnt have to be able to teleport in the game.

dingodile555 wrote:She doesnt have to be able to teleport in the game.

Precisely. But the characters don't have to all be the same, like in the original. They can feel different, like in Smash bros and Mario Kart and stuff like that. I mean, wouldn't it be cool to play as Clark? Who cares if he's a little bigger?

I like your idea, but I'm not using a storyline. I'm doing what Ubi Soft did. Make a contest game that doesn't have a theme, but (Henchmen 800) beat your opponents to a pulp. Alas, I have probably gigabytes of ideas that will take more one journal to contain. Character development is almost through. Racing development is half done. When I got character development done, I will list a graph of characters, music themes from the Rayman games, what game there from, how they glide, their special powers, and their game status form where Ubi raised them up to be in the game. Here the characters I've gotten so far I need three more to complete a list of 32 characters.

Rayman, Globox, Razerbeard, Henchman 800, Teensies, Tily, Razerwife, Betilla, The Magician, The Cricket, Bzzit, The Clown, The Photographer, (Dark) Globox/Rayman, Ly, Uglette, (Rayman 3 version) Murfy, Hoodlum(brown), Gumsi, Andre, Joe, The Musician, Mr.Dark, Polokus, Rabbid, Begonix, and Razoff.

It was just an idea, I wasn't expecting you to actually use it.

Meh, too many useless Rayman 1 characters!

Well, as I said when I get older and completely get this language learned and the program over and done with. I may let other people use it(download). You can choose other characters then. I'm not letting this die down!

Here's is half of a major character update. I need 3 more characters and some skin ideas. R = Rayman
1M3 = Game

I forgot about Henchman 1000 and Tarayzan, so I added them. All of them will have special powers which will be listed next time I post. The racing updates are almost finished.

Hooray, two more useless characters!

But seriously, looks pretty good so far. I hope you don't give up like so many other Rayman fangame creators have before.
I'm sure everyone remembers Rayman M2...

No, I can't let the fire go out. And besides, what's Rayman M2? I just about got racing done, I got all the weapons down for the battle arena, and characters with special powers almost done. I will post them here over the next few days. I like your idea for the mini-games. I'm going to have three battles and three races. Ex: You are Axel and you got to beat Foutch, then Grolem 13, then the Grolgoth in the sky. You will eventually unlock them both to use only in that mini-game.

Sweet! The guards are awesome.

The Battle controls are basically the same for the PC and PS2 versions of the Regular Arena. I making more races and battles than in the original RM. Leagues: Beginner, Advanced, Expert, Extreme, Exceptional, Exceeding, Bonus, and Mini-games. The space theme will be enabled in the game along with this being put under 4.7 GB(Gib). The PS2 uses DVDs and the room maxed is 4.7 GB. It will enable most advanced graphic system can handle.

Does anyone know of that program (name) that when you can speak into a microphone, the computer does what you want it to do? It's possible I can use the program to command programming commands faster than on keyboard. I can program the program to do what you say in the new RM. I just need to test it first, and to see if I can use it in the arena.

Mini-games are finished!
1. You are Sssssam and you race against Carmen. You can pick up blue diamonds and use them as boosters. I will program the coarse to alter any way it can. The percentage shows you how much of the race you've completed. This is considered a race.

2. You are Axel and your job is to defeat Foutch, Grolem13, and the Grolgoth(PS1 version). Every time you defeat one of the guardians, you can choose to be that guardian to defeat the others. You'll be battling in the sky, just above where Sssssam and Carmen race. This is considered a battle.

3. Missile Dogfight! You pick a character and battle the computer's opponent. The screen gets extended and you get to set the IQ level of the game. You get to set the points/time. This is considered a battle. This will contain the RR music.

4. Soccer Challenge(Anybody got a better name?) Pick four characters and battle the computer's opponents. You get to the points, time, and the IQ level. This is considered a battle.

5. Missile Dograce! Avoid objects and beat your opponent. You got ten life points!. So don't bump into anything. Once there gone, game over. This is considered a race.

6. Born to Slide(Part 2) Anybody got any better racing ideas for a mini-game? Put Born to Slide in new Rayman M. Increasing the obstacles, making it harder, and include whether the player wants to race against opponents. This is considered a racing game.

According to the original RM, there was 3 races and 3 battles in every league except the bonus league. This is what I'm going to do. There are six levels in all the leagues of hardness. I will put 5 races in the Bonus league. There will be 3 mini-game races and 3 mini-game battles in the Mini-game league. That is a total of 26 races and 22 battles. I may have to reduce the amount of room for these for the PS2.

I've finally got an even amount of 32 characters. I've added Razerbeard's Lackey and the Walking Shell as characters on my list. The graph below shows characters, available or locked, how they glide, their special powers, and how much it stuns other characters in the racing arena. *= unlockable 1st **= unlockable 2nd These stars represent the players special power and how it can affect the players in the arena. If it's "1", the power charges up in 3 seconds. "Multiple" charges in six seconds. "All" charges up in 9 seconds. This is an attempt to make the characters have just about even amounts of power. I mean do you want someone who does something to you in the "All" category every three seconds.

This is an extremely big update of what I've been making over the last few days! If you have any questions, post them here. If you have a suggestion on how to possibly make the game better, let me know! What do you think of all this?

Yeah, I have a question.

What do the *s (like unlockable 1st and unlockable 2nd) mean? I don't get it. And why is Rayman unlockable?

These stars represent the players' special powers and how it can affect the players in the racing arena. If it's "1", the power charges up in 3 seconds. "Multiple" charges in six seconds. "All" charges up in 9 seconds. This is an attempt to make the characters have just about even amounts of power. I mean do you want someone who does something to you in the "All" category every three seconds. 1, multiple, and all means how many players the power can stun before charging up again. Either the power is successful or it's not. Once you unlock the characters with the "multiple" power. You will start to unlock the characters with the "all" affecting power.

I was in a lock down last Wednesday(10/28/09----28/10/09), so I really didn't think about the characters that much. Besides Rayman is the main character of the original Rayman Arena. I can make it where he's the 1st person you can unlock.

One of the minigames could be Rayman racing against someone on the shell. Maybe A Robo-Pirate, but it would need to ride something...oh, I know, maybe the darker-colored shells from the Precipice that you can't tame!

Actually, I would love racing on shells. Dog-fight was funny and shit but it was only a mini-game.
