Rayman 3 Texture mod

[MaLDo]

Hi, after installing Windows 10 I found Rayman 3 for PC is a judder festival. 72 frames per second are not smooth in 60 hz TV and limiting to 60 fps makes the game goes to 36 fps here and there no matter what the vsync config is.

So, I thought will be a good idea to port every PC texture to Gamecube version. In the process, I've created or edited a few of them including game fonts. I hope someone can enjoy this new revamp.

The file contains a complete folder with Dolphin so it's configured to run but you can copy the texture folder whenever you want.

Ops, that plant in the right of the second screenshot was not the final version... sorry

Spoiler: (Show Spoiler)

Mod -> Not allowed here


NOTE: The package include two files (Rayman3.exe and Rayman3.ahk) based in AutoHotkey. With the correct configuration, using Rayman3.exe will launch the game directly in fullscreen and with a X-padder profi that allows to quit the game holding 360 pad back button for 3 seconds. You need to have X-Padder in your PC and modify Rayman3.ahk file to match your folders.

I doubt that this should be allowed on our boards.
If you posted a script that automatically copied the PC textures over from an installed copy of the game, then it would be allowed, but distributing a texture pack made of textures from another game shouldn't be allowed.

Fair enough.

Feel free to provide instructions how you've extracted those textures. Also with the source name on the original disc and the texture hashes of dolphin. So it would be easier for other people to do the same.

It would be impossible. I used a program that writes to disk textures in memory with sequential names. I've played through the game a few times and searched for every texture one by one to replace them and almost every one is post edited after extraction. 626 textures.

At the very least, you could post those instructions. It might not exactly be easy or straightforward for some users, but it's something.

Sure. I've downloaded ninja_ripper utility from here

Then run Rayman 3 PC and dump textures in memory using F9. 

Use dump function on dolphin to obtain gamecube textures.

Then compare them, most of them need to change saturation.

Does anyone have any of these links: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1209094

They're all dead and I can't find MaLDo anywhere. I've tried to contat him by email (through an option in these foruns) and on Rayman Pirate Community, but he doesn't enter in these places anymore.

If anyone here doesn't have the links requested above, but have an account on NeoGAF, could you please post on that topic?


Thanks in advance.
