Rayman 2 - Texture Hacking - Tutorial!
Posted: Sun Apr 20, 2014 3:15 pm
Hello guys, after some days of work (with RibShark and help of Droolie), we / I finally managed to modify textures and extract them into final game, so I made a kind tutorial for you guys. If you use that in vids please credit me .
First, you are in two ways :
1- You don't have GOG Version, then you'll need a no CD patch.
2- You have GOG version, so you're ok !
Requirements:
- Adobe Photoshop (or any software that can edit TGA files)
Rayman Texture Tool
- Brain
- Time
- you're not lazy
- Patience
- XnView
Steps:
1. Extract the Texture Tools in Data folder.
2. Make a copy of "Textures.cnt"
3. Launch CMD.EXE at admin
4. Type CD then directory of Data folder
5. Create a folder (in the tutorial it'll be named extracted)
5. Type "cnt.exe -e Textures.cnt extracted" (without the " ")
6. Wait for this to be finished, don't close CMD
7. A file named "Convert_all.bat" should be created. Launch it as an Admin
8. Get in extracted folder then use XnView to see what you want to modify
9. Open the file, then modify as you want then save it
10. Copy the file into Data folder then get back in CMD then type "gf2.exe -i file.gf.tga file.gf" (as file is the name of the file you edited in photo software")
11. You'll get a file.gf file then a hard thing, let's take an example: Your file is in extracted/textures_personnages, then in Data you'll create a textures_personnages folder because the software doesn't accept subdirectories, then you'll put the file.gf you converted and edited
12. Back in CMD, type "cnt.exe -i Textures.cnt textures_personnages" as textures_personnages is the folder you created at step 11
13. It'll say Identified Rayman 2 then wait until you can type commands, close CMD
14. you should have lost your textures.cnt, but it has just been renamed at lokalizacie.cnt.tmp, rename it at Textures.cnt, run the game, and normally the textures should be updated! Enjoy!!!
