[@CaesarNeptuneStudios]

Awesome! This is really handy for us that really like the original!

[@Manuelx98.]

Love it, I hope more games will be supported by this soon, like Rayman 2 2D or the gba games

[@RayCarrot]

Possibly :) I coded the editor in a very generic way, so technically any 2D game can be supported. Since those games are already supported in Ray1Map, which this is derived from, it shouldn't be too hard to do.

wasnt a level editor included in Rayman Forever too?

[@MizzardNet7Net7]

I'm trying the pgramma and it works! A "Template" file should be added to create the map faster. I can't create new graphic blocks with the "tileset" file... it is very confusing.

[@DominikBruehl]

Nice. Thanks 😊👍

[@MizzardNet7Net7]

I can't modify the Rayman Expert game 2024!!! Please make sure that you can read and edit this version as well.

[@RayCarrot]

@@MizzardNet7Net7 It's because the vignette file has been modified there. You need to replace the vignette file with that from the original PC version for it to be editable.

[@RayCarrot]

To make it easier setting up the PS1 version for editing I've added all necessary files/tools to this folder: raym.app/ray1editor/R1_PS1_US_EditKit.7z Set the game data path to the Files folder and set the mkpsxiso path to the mkpsxiso exe in the Tools folder.

[@LuckyLeverVIEJO]

I like this editor but there's one problem: how do you make/edit gendoors?

[@RayCarrot]

You add them like any other object and then edit the links by going into the links mode and connecting them together

[@LuckyLeverVIEJO]

[@MizzardNote11s-yx1cj]

I didn't understand if it's just a viewer or you can edit and play the level. How do I go about playing the level? THANKS!!!😢 Do I need to have a version of the base game and modify existing levels? Is it possible to create multiple layers and concatenate them?😮

[@amunve]

Background cannot be changed if i do the level show complete dark or background is glitched

[@RayCarrot]

What do you mean by "level show complete dark"?

[@arnoldfranklin]

You can't edit anything in the background right. I guess unless you changed which level it is it would mess things up by removing part of the side scroll

[@RayCarrot]

You can select the background in the Layers tab, but it will mess up the parallax effect for some levels.

[@MizzardNet7Net7]

The program is interesting. But the "tileset" is not good. You don't understand anything, it would be possible to create a file with already made platforms or create new ones to be used in multiple maps. Do!!!!

[@MizzardNet7Net7]

PLEASE! HELP! I can't edit the levels of Rayman 1 for PC. The reason is that I don't hear the sounds anymore if I run the "RAYMAN.exe" file directly from the dosbox. If I run the ".iso" "BIN/CUE" file, the music and sounds work. But I can't edit BIN/CUE files. Is there a version of Rayman 1 for PC where I can change the levels having the ability to hear the music and sounds? PLEASE!!!

[@RayCarrot]

@@MizzardNet7Net7 You need to mount the .cue file even when just running the exe. Easiest is to set it up with the Rayman Control Panel or use the GOG version of Rayman Forever.

Hi RayCarrot, as for setting the PS1 version, do i need to extract the disk?

[@RayCarrot]

Yep, but you can use the already extracted files here: raym.app/ray1editor/R1_PS1_US_EditKit.7z This link also has the files needed to repack the disc (which you need to specify the path for in the Ray1Editor)

[@pixelayte9468]

Hi, I've just started using this program and for the most part it's pretty intuitive. I really enjoy how clean the UI looks. Unfortunately there are a lot of small things that I'm having trouble figuring out on my own, so I'm wondering if there's some kind of documentation/tutorial/discord where I can find some help with some of these functions. The main problem I'm currently running into is that I'm not sure why I can't place all of the same objects in every level. It seems like it must be depending on what the original level included, which is pretty limiting. If that's the case I'm assuming I could change the data set from one level to another, but I haven't found any way to do that yet. I should also mention that I'm using this program with the PS1 version of the game

[@pixelayte9468]

Also I'd like to add that I'm having some trouble using the object links as well. I've been trying to make a 'Lever Object' trigger a 'Water Lily Planted Object' when punched, to create a platform that rises out of the ground. I made sure they were linked and nothing seemed to happen when I tested it in-game. I replaced the Lever with a GenDoor to see if that would work and luckily it did, but I'm wondering if there's a way to link it with the Lever like I initially wanted. I've noticed that there's a lot of stuff going on in the Properties tab but even with the extra info when I hover the mouse, I'm completely lost

[@RayCarrot]

​@@pixelayte9468 Hi! Sadly there's no tutorial. As for a discord there's the Rayman Modding server which I can send you an invite to if you'd like. I'd prefer to not post it here though, so maybe easiest if you first add me on discord and then I can dm it to you: RayCarrot#2685 As for your questions: Indeed, the object selection is dependent on what data is loaded in for that level. The PS1 version is sadly the most limiting in this regard as the data is usually based on the level, unlike the PC version where it's based on the world. There's currently no way to move over data between levels as that'd be quite complicated due to how the VRAM data works and memory limitations of the console, so the objects you have listed are the ones you can work with in that level. As for links, they can't be used on levers. I agree that this is definitely not very intuitive, but sadly Rayman 1 wasn't really designed to be freely edited like this so the developers made a lot of assumptions on how different objects would be used. If you want something to spawn then gendoors are your only option. You can link other objects too, but that'll be for different reasons (like linking the piranhas to have their movements be synced). The lever itself comes from Eat at Joe's (check part 5 as an example) and is used for the moving UFO platform. It's still available in other levels since it's oddly enough always loaded in, but can't really be used for anything else. As for the properties tab, most of that you shouldn't really change. I've made entries in the object list for all the common combinations. Especially the Type, DES and ETA should all sort of be used together, so changing one of them but not the others will just break things. I mostly just have this as an option in case someone wants to try out some weird combinations with the data. The ones you might want to change are Hit-Points and Commands. Hit-Points is usually the hp of an enemy, but sometimes it's used for other things (quite confusing :p). The commands are usually used to define some basic behavior for the object. For example moving clouds usually use this for its movement pattern. This also isn't very intuitive to modify though...

You can only edit them. But I mean you can just delete everything in the level and build your own from that.

@@RayCarrot yeah, I did think that, and I'm guessing too that you can't make as many levels as you want, since the game is just every level you can edit

Hi RayCarrot, when I try opening the editor, I get an error that says VIGNET.DAT|0x00155B20: The PCX manufacturer is invalid. Value is 69. Expected value is 10. I am editing the PC version from GOG by the way and I selected the Rayman folder inside Rayman Forever. Should I just reinstall Rayman Forever, or is there a fix to this?

Hi! I think maybe you selected the wrong version. When using the PC version it's important that it's the correct one that it selected when adding the game. For the GOG version it should be 1.21.
