Rayman Junior glitch – wrong answer fails to kill Rayman PluMGMK 2023-07-09 | Here I recreate a moment from my childhood where I picked a wrong answer* in the final segment of "'Copter Candy", with zero lives left, but Rayman miraculously survived!I was thankful for the glitch, but didn't understand it until years later when I saw this video: youtu.be/DetL1U5CVAA What happened was, my Ting count was 49, so collecting the fiftieth Ting gave me a new life, and cancelled the insta-kill effect of the red spiky ball!I recreated the scenario by firing up the game, using the "[TAB] finishing" cheat to skip to the required level, and using the Dosbox debugger to modify the Ting and Life counts in memory.* The answer is wrong because you're supposed to pick numbers where the units are strictly less than the tens, whereas I had picked 33 becuase 3 ≥ 3. Silly me!
Latte please PluMGMK 2023-05-29 | From Frasier S5E12, "The Zoo Story". After (another!) disaster with the crane named after himself, Frasier comes into Nervosa, battered and bruised, hoping for a quiet latte. He is not impressed when the waitress reminds him of his humiliation having seen it in the paper earlier that day!I was inspired to upload this after reading today's xkcd (xkcd.com/2782), which muses about the possibility of a seagull named after Meryl Streep and/or multiple incidents involving Meryl Streep and a seagull. Naturally this reminded me of the story of a crane named after Frasier Crane, and the ensuing incidents…
Which one, Nat King… or Porter? PluMGMK 2023-05-25 | Another classic Greengrass line, from Heartbeat S9E22, "With This Ring".Oscar Blaketon comes around to Claude Greengrass's house to have a word about the coal that mysteriously showed up in his shed. Greengrass responds asking which "Cole" he could possibly mean…
I didnt know you knew owt about rugby, Claude? PluMGMK 2022-03-12 | "You would be amazed, Joseph, just how much I know about, you know nowt about me knowin' owt about!"A mind-bending utterance from Claude Jeremiah Greengrass at the beginning of the Heartbeat Season 5 finale, "Blood Sports".I had to listen to this clip about half a dozen times, and write it down, before realizing that this is more or less a grammatical sentence, and that it does in fact carry the intended meaning!
Test of OBS Studio on Sway/Wlroots: Rayman Legends Orchestral Chaos 8-bit PluMGMK 2021-02-19 | It was painful enough to get it going, but I managed to build OBS from the latest git commit (with Wayland support) and use obs-xdg-portal and xdg-desktop-portal-wlr to record from Sway, which is my preferred environment!The sound still seems a bit gammy (even apart from the whole 8-bit thing!), but I'm sure that's nothing to do with Wayland.Note however that the Rayman 2 recording I uploaded earlier tonight was done on i3 (i.e. X11, not Wayland) since I can't make Rayman 2 work outside of native X…
Rayman 2 Walk of Life – 014643 (RaymanPC COTM Entry) PluMGMK 2021-02-19 | Nothing spectacular but I wanted to make an entry. I screwed up a lot of things, but I'm just happy I was able to make OBS work! XDNote that the in-game timer says 01'44"28, but that's unreliable, since it counts only 990 or 960 milliseconds to the second (depending on where you are in the level) – see here for further info: raymanpc.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1431067#p1431067
Skops in Rayman Designer PluMGMK 2020-10-26 | Work-in-progress hack, using my local working copy of github.com/Adsolution/Ray1MapBasically, I transferred all the missing sprites (ETA/DES files) from Rayman 1 to Designer, using a function which is already available in upstream Ray1Map, then messed around to place Skops himself in the first Cave level.Firstly, the palette is messed up, but that's to be expected, since Designer can't use as many palettes as Rayman 1. Secondly, he clearly doesn't work properly. Not sure if that's because there's code checking for the right level, or just because his code was completely removed from Designer (the latter is possible).
Moskito in Betillas Garden – improved version! PluMGMK 2020-07-22 | Last week I uploaded a video of a hacked Betilla's Garden map in which I had used Ray1Map (github.com/Adsolution/Ray1Map) to move some entities around and turn them into a final Moskito battle. Since then, more work has been done (some of it by me – see the RaymanPC thread raymanpc.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1416091#p1416091) on making it possible to place new entities in Educational maps, making this improved version possible. Here I'm able to actually finish out the map – until some brand new stuff appears just before I reach the exit sign!Please note that the Ray1Map is looking for someone with Unity experience to help out with the UI!I couldn't plant a seed this time – changing tile types (e.g. to make an area seed-plantable) in the editor is quite hit and miss right now.
Moskito in Betillas Garden PluMGMK 2020-07-11 | This is an edit I decided to make of the Rayman Junior "Betilla's Garden" level in the Jungle world. I made a few adjustments, but the most obvious is that the level now finishes with a Moskito boss instead of a normal exit sign!I edited the map using Ray1Map (github.com/Adsolution/Ray1Map), a fantastic new tool worked on by RayCarrot, Droolie, Adsolution and Ryemanni. I also couldn't have done this without bugging RayCarrot on RaymanPC (raymanpc.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=89&t=31051&start=20) what felt like every five minutes with questions about the tool! :P Thanks RayCarrot!Embarrassingly, I failed to beat my own boss the first time, so there's some 8x speed-up to avoid pointless repetition. I feel I can detect some superficial resemblance between the speeded-up Betilla's Garden theme, and the theme from the Big Bang Theory… Never mind!
1987 FROM Universal Television Logo (out of sync with 1991 music!) PluMGMK 2020-05-25 | This is another version of the "out-of-sync" Universal logo I uploaded at youtube.com/watch?v=r4HJFaJl9t8 but it's quite a bit more shocking. The reason is that it has the 1991 music! This appeared on the TG4 print of "Murder, She Wrote" S8E11, "Danse Diabolique", which was apparently the first episode to air in 1992. I uploaded the full credits too, but NBCUniversal may have blocked it in North America…
1987 FROM Universal Television logo (out of sync) PluMGMK 2020-05-25 | A funny version of the 1987 Universal Television logo, in which the screen is blank for the first two notes of the jingle, and then the picture appears as normal on the third note… From "Murder, She Wrote" S8E2, "Night Fears". It also appeared on S8E1, "Bite the Big Apple", at least on TG4. I uploaded the full credits too, but NBCUniversal may have blocked it in North America…
1987 FROM Universal Television logo (standard) PluMGMK 2020-05-25 | From "Murder, She Wrote" S8E4, "Thicker Than Water". This was the last appearance of this logo on that show, but it appeared on many episodes before then. I uploaded the full credits too, but NBCUniversal may have blocked it in North America…
Universal Television (1991) without IN ASSOCIATION WITH text PluMGMK 2020-05-25 | From "Murder, She Wrote" S8E14, "The Monte Carlo Murders", but also seen on most other Season 8 episodes. I uploaded the full credits too, but it seems NBCUniversal may have blocked it in North America.
Murder, She Wrote S8E14 (The Monte Carlo Murders) Ending Credits – with no-IAW 1991 UNIVERSAL logo PluMGMK 2020-05-25 | What the title says. This episode of "Murder, She Wrote", like most Season 8 episodes, features the standard 1991 Universal Television logo, *without* the "IN ASSOCIATION WITH" text.
Murder, She Wrote S8E4 (Thicker Than Water) Ending Credits – with standard 1987 UNIVERSAL logo PluMGMK 2020-05-25 | What the title says. This was the last "Murder, She Wrote" episode to carry the standard 1987 Universal Television logo.
Murder, She Wrote S8E11 (Danse Diabolique) Ending Credits – with 1991 music on 1987 UNIVERSAL logo PluMGMK 2020-05-25 | What the title says. The first "Murder, She Wrote" episode to air in 1992 featured a very unusual closing logo. The 1991 music plays as usual, but the screen stays blank. Then, a few seconds later, up pops the 1975 logo! At least, this is the case on the print that TG4 showed…
Murder, She Wrote S8E2 (Night Fears) Ending Credits – with out-of-sync 1987 UNIVERSAL logo PluMGMK 2020-05-25 | What the title says. The first two episodes of Murder, She Wrote Season 8 had this strange "out-of-sync" version of the 1987 Universal Television logo, where the music starts immediately but the picture takes a few seconds to appear. At least, this is the case on the prints that TG4 are showing…
Viacom Wigga Wigga International Logo Remake 2020 PluMGMK 2020-03-16 | Made this up with Blender (and Inkscape for the initial lettering) to celebrate the fact that this logo debuted 30 years ago, and that Viacom and CBS have just re-merged.Might have been more appropriate in December or January, but I didn't get around to it till now (Saint Patrick's weekend + coronovirus lockdown…).I have no idea what they did with the lights in the original, but I hope I've at least come close to replicating the shining on the fully-formed logo. I didn't even attempt the shining on the "wigga-wigga" bit at the start…Link to Blend file: vigovproductions.net/wigga-wigga-2020.blend – please feel free to mess around with it, possibly get the lighting to look more like the original!
Frasier: Dgo ygou spgeak Jgee-Spgeak? (Do you speak G-Speak?) PluMGMK 2018-11-24 | Another funny moment from Frasier Season 1, this time from the middle of episode 5, "Here's Looking At You". Here, Maris's Aunt Patrice attempts to introduce Marty to G-Speak!
Frasier: Not another day like last Tuesday! PluMGMK 2018-07-26 | Another short Frasier clip. Frasier asks Leo, the "building lackey", to retrieve Marty's chair from his storage space. Leo, upon realizing that that's where he was supposed to put it, laments that he is having one of those days – his previous one having been just last Tuesday!
Ill just check outside and see if the world has ended. PluMGMK 2018-03-05 | A little clip from Frasier, where the boys, looking forward to their programme, are disgusted that their Dad wants to watch a "game show" – until they realize that it's the same programme, the Antiques Roadshow!Taken from the Season 7 episode "A Tsar is Born".
How to get Negative Health in Rayman 2 on PC PluMGMK 2017-08-15 | This video was inspired by two of FrozenFrog's videos:youtube.com/watch?v=LdsBetVzMjcyoutube.com/watch?v=m9HD6_sY8doThis is a strange glitch I found in part 2 of the Menhir Hills many years ago. It's so odd that until I tried it again today I wasn't sure whether or not I'd dreamed it! But no, here it is, if you turn the shell around, you end up with your health bar draining, apparently to minus infinity! It's a fate worse than Try Again, since you need to quit the game and lose all your progress!
Hacking Rayman 2 – Attempting to bridge the gap from the Fairy Glade to the Echoing Caves PluMGMK 2017-08-15 | Thanks to the wonderful RayTwol, made by Adsolution of the RaymanPC, I've been able to move around a few purple lums in Learn_31, aka Fairy Glade part 2, so Rayman can transition from the Fairy Glade bit to the Echoing Caves bit. Unfortunately, the way I did it, it's pretty easy to get stuck there!Of course, I could just move the level-transition entity to the Echoing Caves to a more accessible location, but, uh, where's the fun in that? :P
Third Plum Video – Modifying the Map with RayTwol! PluMGMK 2017-06-04 | In this video I try to go a bit deeper with my plum experiments in the first part of the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire. I do so by modifying the level using the brilliant RayTwol, developed by RaymanPC member Adsolution! I highly recommend checking it out: raymanpc.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=89&t=25013Sorry that I mucked up the sound levels on the voiceover, but the basic ideas are fairly simple: a plum that binds to a Gorilla Pirate will not necessarily bind to a post, and the plum that falls off posts can be delayed indefinitely from doing so, by jumping on it.If you're wondering about my setup, I've got a Windows 10 Virtual Machine on Linux, which I was using via a VNC connection for RayTwol. My desktop environment is GNOME and my UI language is Irish (just for fun!). The copy of Rayman 2 on Linux was able to "see" RayTwol's changes because I had mounted the Levels folder from Windows on Linux using CIFS. I didn't run R2 inside the virtual machine because 3D over VNC is for the most part painful, and getting an old game like R2 to work with Steam "in-home streaming" is even more painful.
Rayman 2: Further Plum Experiments PluMGMK 2017-05-18 | Well, yesterday I put up a video (youtu.be/ZMsUcSc1md8) demonstrating a phenomenon I knew well relating to plums in the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire. Today I decided to kick the tyres on the conclusion I drew. Is it really the case that each plum-tree is tied to a certain post or certain posts?It turns out that that hypothesis is completely incorrect. In actual fact each plum-tree is tied to a certain *behaviour* with respect to posts. The first plum in the secret area is programmed to attach to a post and stay there as long as it exists. The second plum is programmed to attach, then quiver and fall off. No other plum in the game is programmed to do anything in relation to posts.The other experiment I did was getting rid of the plum spawned after defeating the mini-Jano. After seeing the invisible wall during the first experiment, I assumed the same thing would happen here. But it didn't! It turns out that the tree in the mini-Jano's cave is a plum-tree, albeit a fairly bare-boned one.When you think about it, it looks like the mini-Jano itself was a fruit of that tree, that got corrupted in some way. Plums and mini-Janos are quite similar. They're roughly the same size, and they're both bouncing little round yokes…
Rayman 2 – Sanctuary of Stone and Fire: Plum fails to bind to Post PluMGMK 2017-05-17 | A little phenomenon I thought I'd make a video of. In the little hidden place at the start, only plums from a certain tree will bind to the post. I've known about this for years, so I'm not as naïve as the text popups may suggest.Speaking of text popups, maybe I'd have been better off doing a voiceover. I'm not really in the mood for it today though, so you'll have to make do with this for now!Actually, that thing I tried at the end was indeed something I hadn't tried before, but again, the result didn't surprise me.
The Ball Lets Play (All Secrets Attempt) – Cahua II PluMGMK 2016-11-14 | Here is the final video, in which I briskly complete the last level of the game, Cahua II, and in doing so allude to now-President-elect Trump's friendship with the Clintons! Of course, this was recorded over a week ago, so I didn't know he'd be elected. If I had, I'd probably have said something more along the lines of "Instead of giving that Ball back to the aliens (hence 'Cahua'), Spebbington should have rolled it up to the border to help people over the wall!". Or perhaps just a simple "Believe me, we are going to make the Tepētl Nation great again, bigly!". Okay, I'm finished now.This was quite a quick and hitchless video, almost failing to do justice to the grand finale. Still, that finale would do itself a lot more justice if it didn't show a shot from a camera angle such that the player character clearly should have been visible, in which he was nowhere to be seen.More Tlālōque are fought, using a few gameplay mechanics that haven't been seen since much earlier in the game, which is kind of strange. It feels kind of thrown together, and yet when you consider it from a story perspective it makes sense. You light up a torch to open the "forbidden place", for example. Well of course you do, why wouldn't you?Anyway, secret names:– Ixtlilton - god of medicine. Ironic since this guy's kingdom crumbled due to an incurable plague. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ixtlilton– Omacatl - I could be sure we met this one before, but apparently not. Anyway, this is a god associated with many things. The most notable in this context are probably war, strife and discord. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omacatl– Cipactonal - god of astrology and calendars, counting down the days till the return of the Ball! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cipactonal
The Ball Lets Play (All Secrets (unsuccessful) Attempt) – Cahua I PluMGMK 2016-11-12 | So I got a new headset and a new keyboard, which made the entire process of putting together this video a lot smoother. I hope it shows! Unfortunately, it was not plane sailing the whole way, since there was some kind of buffer overrun issue which ruined several minutes of video footage. Not to worry though, you'll still see everything in the level: I was cursing my luck when I had to restart, but it turns out to have been a blessing in disguise, for which I am grateful!Anyway, this level is the first part of Cahua (Náhuatl for "release" or "let go", but I have a bit of fun with other meanings in the video), the infernal factory and inner sanctum of the aliens. The factories are guarded by several Tlālōque, who are a lot less friendly than mythology would suggest!Unfortunately, as in Oztoc I, I failed to find two secrets. There are overlay titles in the parts where I missed them, explaining what I should have done. (The timing of the titles is quite imprecise, and I apologize, but more fine-grained control would involve something like OpenShot or Pitivi, neither of which seem to understand the concept of limiting the bitrate!)Secret names:– Mextli - God/goddess of the moon/night. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mextli– Toci - "Mother of the gods". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toci– Obviously I don't know what the other two are!
The Ball Lets Play (All Secrets Attempt) – Hueca (or Huehca – last pyramid) PluMGMK 2016-10-31 | First, I should apologize for the audio quality. Since flashing my phone with a bare-bones AOSP ROM, it seems it doesn't have the proper audio drivers to record 44k audio. If anyone has trouble hearing, please leave a comment and I'll see what I can do about adding subtitles. I've decided to get a new headset so I don't need the phone for the last two videos.Sorry I couldn't continue the tradition of getting the whole level in one video, this was due to circumstances beyond my control. Still, after Oztoc I, I wasn't really in the mood for another hour-long video.Guys, I did it! I bloody got 6/6 secrets in Hue(h)ca!!! Now if only I could've obtained the same success rate back in Oztoc I… Maybe if I'd split the video, I'd've been more alert…Secret names:– Atlatonan… Well, according to one website she's a goddess of deformities and disease, which would make sense based on the awful curse she's quoting. http://www.godslaidbare.com/pantheons/aztec/atlatonan.php– Nahual, more regular spelling of Nagual. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nagual
The Ball Lets Play (All Secrets Attempt) – Hueca (or Huehca – first two pyramids) PluMGMK 2016-10-31 | First, I should apologize for the audio quality. Since flashing my phone with a bare-bones AOSP ROM, it seems it doesn't have the proper audio drivers to record 44k audio. If anyone has trouble hearing, please leave a comment and I'll see what I can do about adding subtitles. I've decided to get a new headset so I don't need the phone for the last two videos.Anyway, we enter the intimidating world of Hue(h)ca and after some phaffing around, get ⅔ of the way through it, both in terms of normal and secret progress! This level happens to have my favourite music in the whole game.Sorry I couldn't continue the tradition of getting the whole level in one video, this was due to circumstances beyond my control. Still, after Oztoc I, I wasn't really in the mood for another hour-long video.Secret names:– Atlacoya, goddess of drought.– Camaxtli, life-death-rebirth deity. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xipe_Totec– Ometeotl, dual cosmic energies, responsible for the creation of all people. Note how this person claims that the Tepētl Nation is tearing itself in two (duality). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ometeotl– Atlacoya again! She speaks twice in this level!
The Ball Lets Play (All Secrets Attempt) – Teotl II PluMGMK 2016-10-23 | We continue into the second section of the ancient underground city of Teotl, and I unlock the "Explorer" achievement for finding half of all secrets!Though I didn't notice the achievement until reviewing the video to see the secret names:– Cipactli - primæval sea monster. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cipactli– Chicomexochtli - apparently a god of artists.– Huixtocihuatl - goddess of fertility and saltwater. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huixtocihuatl– Atlaua - water god, fisher and archer. A strange spelling variant, one would expect Atlahua, which is indeed the variant given at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlaua
The Ball Lets Play (All Secrets Attempt) – Teotl I PluMGMK 2016-10-23 | We move into the ancient underground city of Teotl, meaning "god" or "awesome", a word whose pronunciation I dispute with the game's narrator! We discover signs of severe civil unrest in times past. The King continues to watch.Secret names:– Chantico - goddess of fires and volcanoes. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chantico– Amimitl - another name for Opochtli, who appeared in Oztoc I– Tlaltecuhtli - an Earth god(dess). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tlaltecuhtli– Nagual - Spanish word for a magician capable of turning into an animal. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nagual
The Ball Lets Play (All Secrets Attempt) – Oztoc II PluMGMK 2016-10-22 | UPDATE: Having finished the whole series, I think this video takes the trophy for being the only one in which nothing went wrong! No interruptions, no emails popping up, no abysmal audio quality or recording issues, and no missed secrets! Awful shame to have peaked so early. XDThe Let's Play continues into the second part of Oztoc, which again means "into the cave". This bit, in which we meet the mysterious "King", goes a lot more smoothly than the previous bit, and I successfully obtain all four secrets!Secret names:– Ahuitzotl - Eighth Aztec leader. This is the first to refer to a person rather than a deity! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahuitzotl– Temazcalteci - goddess of steam baths. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temazcalteci– Chalchiuhtlatonal - god of water, which is appropriate since we find this secret in a flooded chamber! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chalchiuhtlatonal– Tonatiuh - sun god, ruler of Tollan, heaven. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonatiuh
The Ball Lets Play (All Secrets (unsuccessful) Attempt) – Oztoc I PluMGMK 2016-10-16 | Continuing on with my Let's Play, I "discover" the more complicated alternative path through the first part of Oztoc, which apparently is Náhuatl for "into the cave".Unfortunately I failed to find the last two secrets. So, the "Master Explorer" Steam achievement remains out of my reach. Still, I fully intend to get "Explorer", which entails finding half of all secrets.The audiovisual quality has improved to an extent, but I think I could do a bit better. BTW, I happen to have bricked the phone I used to record the audio, so it might be a while before I can make the next part!Also, yesterday I tried to make a version of this video with overlay text using the YouTube Video Editor, but it completely screwed up the video. I would use annotations, but the annotation editor doesn't seem to like any browser I'm prepared to use.Secret names:– Mixcoatl - god of hunting - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixcoatl– Centeotl - god of maize - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centeotl– Opochtli - god of hunting and fishing - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opochtli– Patecatl - god of healing and fertility - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PatecatlI don't know what the other two names are (the ones I missed). Here's where I went wrong.– At about 54:00, I should have doubled back and gone along the track. I guess I was despairing too much for that to occur to me.– At about 56:45, I started exploring to the left of the village, when I should have tried the right!
The Ball Lets Play (All Secrets Attempt) – Pehua PluMGMK 2016-10-10 | Well, I've decided to make a Let's Play of the Ball, the 2010 game by Teotl Studios, in which I attempt to find all the secrets. In this video, which will surely be the shortest, I successfully find all four secrets in Pehua (apparently Náhuatl for "to begin"), the first level of the game.I apologize for the video and audio quality. The second video has already been recorded, and let me say that these aspects will drastically improve. So, as I say, this is the shortest video, so don't judge me on the audiovisual quality yet!Also, the secret names:– Macuilxochitl - god of art, games, beauty, dance, song, flowers - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xochipilli– Paynal - god serving as a representative of a more powerful god - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Painal– Ehecatl - a god of wind - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ehecatl– Citlalicue - goddess who was involved in creating the Earth, stars, and death and darkness - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citlalicue
Buena Vista Television + International (1995-7, high-tone) PluMGMK 2016-09-10 | Same as youtube.com/watch?v=NOoNdFUjGWI, but it's not off-sync this time. This is from the episode "You Say It's Your Birthday".(This may be one of the best-preserved exemplaries of this logo combo in existence)
Buena Vista Television + International (1995-7, high-tone, off-sync) PluMGMK 2016-08-04 | Someone recently asked me to put up more logo videos. Well, you're in luck, I just got my hands on something new.This is the 1995 Buena Vista Television logo, cross-fading to the Buena Vista International logo. It comes from the "101 Dalmatians" episode "Tic Track Toe/Lucky All-Star", which is the second episode that ran in first-run syndication.The music is extremely high-tone (I would say it's a full tone higher, rather than the expected semitone for PAL speedup). I've heard it before, but I'm not sure where.Also, the music is horrendously off-sync, so it looks like a bad plaster job. In fact, the previous week, they showed the first syndicated episode, and it had the same logos but silent.
Teamo Supremo Credits PluMGMK 2016-02-28 | Requested by Derpy Derpderp on my Disney logo collection: youtube.com/watch?v=zb1UQVZ7JCgThis is the full credits from episode 2x04 ("Happy Holidays, Mr. Gruff / The Grandfather Show"), the same episode as in my video: youtube.com/watch?v=G_Ou_Kv_FK4
Rayman 2 i nGaeilge! PluMGMK 2015-05-25 | UPDATE: You can get Version 1.1 here: http://www.vigovproductions.net/R2Gaeilge_nua.zip (installation instructions in Readme.txt)It's finally here! The first ten minutes or so of the game, as Gaeilge!I guess it's been almost a year since I first talked about doing a translation of Rayman 2 into Irish. Even though it's been almost that long since MixerX released his game text modification tool on the Rayman Pirate-Community - http://raymanpc.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=9640&p=921480#p921472 - it was only last week that I finally got around to doing most of the translation work.But now it's done! After a test run today to make sure all the text flows properly, the translation is now in a release-worthy state. So on the off-chance that any Irish speaker owns Rayman 2 on PC and is watching this, here is the download link:http://www.vigovproductions.net/R2Gaeilge.zip (installation instructions in Readme.txt)
Rayman Legends Music – Hell Breaks Loose Extended PluMGMK 2014-12-20 | So, mucking about in Audacity, I decided the music that plays in the level "Hell Breaks Loose" needed to have a standalone "extended" version. Most of this is "Hell's Gate", but I also put in "Shield & Syrtaki – The Storm" towards the end, since that plays in the part where the dragons are killed.Naturally, credit goes to Drolpiraat for ripping the music, and to Billy Martin for composing it!Now get down on your knees and repent!
Rayman Legends (PC) - Cest lenfer ici ! (envahi) en 3493 PluMGMK 2014-11-15 | "Hell Breaks Loose (invaded) in 34.93 seconds"Didn't quite manage to get to my old record, but I think I've done enough to prove that it's possible with the game running at normal speed. (And it seems it has already been beaten)Je n'ai pas réussi à refaire mon ancien record, mais je pense que j'ai fait suffisamment pour prouver que c'est possible alors que le jeu tourne à la vitesse normale. (Et il semble qu'on l'a déjà battu)(Also, yeah, M-deCle is me. If the name is familiar to you that might be a surprise, or something you suspected all along. Or you probably don't give a toss!)And I don't know why it displayed the US flag next to my name, I guess something happened to my save when my VM crashed earlier on.(Eh oui, c'est moi M-deCle. Si tu reconnais le nom ce sera peut-être une surprise, ou quelque chose que tu pensais toujours. Ou probablement tu t'en fiches !)Et je ne sais pas pourquoi le drapeau des US a été montré à côté de mon nom, je suppose que ma sauvegarde s'est un peu corrompue quand ma VM a planté plus tôt.

(envahi) en 3538 PluMGMK 2014-11-15 | "Hell Breaks Loose (invaded) in 35.38 seconds"I was able to get 34 seconds before, but the game was laggier then and I'm having trouble proving to myself that it's possible at normal speed. Will upload as soon as I've been able to do it.J'ai pu le faire en 34 secondes, mais le jeu tournait plus lentement alors, et j'ai du mal à prouver que c'est possible à la vitesse normale. J'uploaderai dès que j'aurai pu le faire.
Buena Vista TV + International (from Timon & Pumbaa) PluMGMK 2014-08-30 | This is the proper Buena Vista Television + Buena Vista International logo combo that appears at the end of international prints of most Season 3 Timon & Pumbaa episodes. This was on "Forbidden Pumbaa/Washington Applesauce". On every other episode, RTÉ either cut it off right after the Buena Vista TV logo or half-way through the Buena Vista Intl logo.
Disney Media Distribution Spoof PluMGMK 2014-08-03 | Requested by Zack Toombs, a spoof of the Disney Media Distribution logo with animation, but no other company name or channel bug.
Spoof: ABC Studios Red with proper music PluMGMK 2014-08-03 | I created this video with the YouTube Video Editor (http://www.youtube.com/editor)As far as I know, this never existed, because Agents of SHIELD changed to a cheap yellow version when the music appeared. Requested by Garrett Simmers.
ABC Studios + Buena Vista International spoof PluMGMK 2014-07-12 | Requested by Subzero7228This video has the ABC Studios logo cross-fading to the Buena Vista International logo (with its aspect ratio doctored by yours truly) and uses the Walt Disney Television (Animation) jingle.And I must say, it looks pretty good! Thanks for the great suggestion, Subzero!
Buena Vista Television 1995 (after Timon & Pumbaa Credits) PluMGMK 2014-07-12 | I have long waited for the day that a domestic Buena Vista Television logo would turn up on an international print of a Disney cartoon. The day is finally here, the episode being "Palm Beach / Jamaica Mistake?". The logo uses the credits music, with which it fits quite well. Unfortunately, RTÉ Two faded it out about half a second too early, but it is still by far the cleanest print of this logo on the internet without a copyright date on it.The whole credits sequence is in this video, but the logo is obviously at the end.
Disney Media Distribution Spoof PluMGMK 2014-07-12 | I made this one a while back, and am uploading it on request. It's got the Disney Television Animation logo cross-fading to a spoofed-up Disney Media Distribution logo I whipped up in GIMP. It uses the ABC Studios theme.
Rayman Designer: Tutoriel pour éditer et utiliser les PCXs (Version française) PluMGMK 2014-05-27 | Yes, it's in French. I'll make an English version if people want me to.-------------------------------------Zut ! J'ai oublié à y mettre une musique !En tout cas, voici un tutoriel pour éditer les PCXs, qui contiennent les graphismes des niveaux. J'utilise GIMP, et je montre un exemple en copiant une plate-forme du PCX du Ciel Chromatique à celui de la Forêt des Songes.Aussi, je montre comment on peut utiliser les nouvelles graphismes avec le Mapper.
Nightmare Retardant in Rayman 2 PluMGMK 2014-04-26 | Yay, my first Rayman video in four years!This shows the Jano chase in the second part of the Cave of Bad Dreams, when the PC version of Rayman 2 is played in a resolution above 640*480 - his jaws don't fill the screen properly!Sorry for the sync issues and skipping. I hope the video at least gets the point across.There are a few other observations from the Cave of Bad Dreams in the video as well.
