R4 Prototype music and sounds discovered!

Post by Droolie »

Hey there.

I was just looking at the RRR2 files ( to find a way to rip its music ), and I discovered something.
Here are some filenames and pieces of text I found.
- "PROTOTYPE_Minigame_RideLeCochon.wol": Ride the Pig... in RRR2?
- "prez_E3_Ruines_lapins_Foret.wol": ?prez?_E3_Ruins_Rabbids_Forest? Umm... looks like something that wasn't in RRR2 or RRR to me. Looks more like the R4 prototype.
- "MONDE_03_RideRequin.wol": Ride Shark?!? R4 proto, anyone?
- "MONDE_04_DONJ_Globbox.wol": Globox in RRR2?!?


There are also at least 5 gladiator arena files in RRR2, while there is no gladiator arena, only in the original RRR ( correct me if I'm wrong, I never played RRR2 ).
Also, there are files and bits of text with all the original RRR's dance names:
"Misirlou.Good .4.Girls J}.W"0*U.H".+.Fun.Hip Hol..oray.La B..:.D....Iron.V"..".3.Butcher..D.jay.Ubisof..#.ntpellier Choir"
All the warthog races too, the beach, the desert canyon, and... "_main_E3EndScreeen.wol": Files from the E3 demo, LOL.

Conclusion: Ubisoft ( especially Ubisoft Paris ) is stupid and lazy. Let's see what I find in the original RRR. Maybe the whole prototype has been saved in there after all. XD

UPDATE:

I'm ripping the music from RRR for Xbox 360 now and to my surprise, I found out they still have sounds from the prototype in there. I haven't deciphered the format yet but I'm close, and I found some familiar sounds like the lum-collecting sound from Rayman 2, and eagle cry and eagle wing flap sounds (according to the filenames and to what I heard). Oh, and sounds from sharks and T-rexes. More importantly, it also seems to contain MUSIC from the prototype, which would be quite awesome to hear.
I don't remember any spider in RRR, though the filenames clearly say: "Spider_theme1.wam" ("wam" files are music), "Spider_jingle1.wam", "Rayman_death1.wam", "Ptizetre_incantation1.wam" (Teensie spell?), "Ptizetre_release1.wam", and lots of other files with just "test" as a filename, which weren't in any of the other versions.
It looks like I might be in for a goldmine of R4 Prototype stuff when I find out how I can convert this! :D

Arses. :pascontent: I want old Rayman back. Ubisoft Paris or whatever ones are developing Raving rabbids suck nuts. Bring Globox, Ly, Murfy, kill off the Rabbids (they've totally worn them out anyway; no one cares) and finally make a proper platforming adventure.

Unfortunately Ubi as a whole are too busy spewing out complete garbage like My ___ Coach, Imagine and Fragdolls.

Afcourse they do, they get Image for them.

In the carrier test they should make a score named "lazy" and as a suggestion work by UbiSoft Paris and turn with your thumbs the whole day long :P

Yeah. It's sad what they're doing. Money-hungry bastards.. Well at least, they produced excellent Rayman games before. It's a shame they just betray their fans like that.


Yeah, money. It's all they care about. I know it's business and stuff, but they're going about it like assholes.

Fragdolls isn't really a game but an even bigger abomination - basically a group of women that try and make games appeal more to the female populace. What's funny to know about them is that one of the UK team had nudes leaked over the net some months back. 8)

True, lol. :P

LOL, I discovered another leftover. A complete file called "exec_universe_init_maps.ofc" that initiates the maps of RRR1. Here's some text.
_main_fix._main_logo._main_menu._main_E3endscreen._main_pad._main_bootup._main_credits.
Pulp_Fiction_Easy.Chic_Good_Times_Easy.Cindy_Lauper_Easy.Hip_Hip_Hooray_Easy.La_Bamba_Easy.Rock_n_Roll_Easy.
Dance_07_Easy.Pulp_Fiction_Hard.Chic_Good_Times_Hard.Cindy_Lauper_Hard.Hip_Hop_Hooray_Hard.La_Bamba_Hard.Rock_n_roll_Hard.
Dance_14_Hard.Pulp_Fiction_Hardcore.PulpFiction_Easy_MULTI.ChicGoodTimes_Easy_MULTI.CindyLauper_Easy_MULTI.HipHopHooray_Easy_MULTI.
LaBamba_Easy_MULTI.Rock_n_roll_Easy_MULTI.DANSE07_Easy_MULTI.PulpFiction_Hard_MULTI.ChicGoodTimes_Hard_MULTI.CindyLauper_Hard_MULTI.
HipHopHooray_Hard _MULTI.LaBamba_Hard _MULTI.Rock_n_Roll_Hard_MULTI_.Danse_14_Hard_MULTI.Pulp_Fiction_Hardcore_MULTI.
FPS00_TUTORIAL.FPS01_BEACH01.FPS02_TRAIN_WESTERN.FPS03_CIMETIERE_MORT.FPS04_CHARIOT_MINE.FPS05_CANYON_DESERT.
FPS06_BEACH_02.FPS07_VILLE_WESTERN.FPS08_COURSE_MORT.FPS09_DOOM_BASE
Yep, RRR1 alright. For the RRR2 maps, they actually added another file: "exec_universe_init_maps_RRR2.ofc" XD

Also, there are actually PS2 files in the Wii version of RRR2. :P

Drol, all those odd files you mentioned in the first post are *.wol files...what's a *.wol? A texture or a model or an image or what? Are they...rippable? :hinhinhin:

So if they could be extracted, we'd pretty much have the Old R4 prototype?

No. Level files are useless without the source code of the original Rayman 4 !

Well, this sounds... great! Who knows, maybe there are more files hidden?

If R4 was done a'la Sonic CD, this haven't got to be true. Each level of this was a "separate game" (because of lack of program memory in MegaCD).

I don't know, really. I'll have to look into it some more to say if they contain rippable things or not. ^^
Actually... I think... I think they do ( don't kill me if I'm wrong ). =D
