OpenRayman/README.md
Hannes Mann 816a143890 Refactoring, lots of refactoring
* Split OpenRayman into two parts (openrayman and libopenrayman)
  libopenrayman is licensed under LGPLv3
* dsb_interpreter -> dsb_script
  gf_converter -> gf_texture
  This means that all currently available formats share a mostly common interface
  (specify stream via constructor, check if the file is valid via valid()
   and/or extract/decompile via a function returning bool)
* Since all formats can only be created via an std::istream,
  libopenrayman includes two helper stream functions in openrayman::common
  These are in_mem_(i/o)stream and encoded_stream
  in_mem stream read and write to a block of memory (can be created from vector/char*)
  encoded_streams take an existing stream and decodes data after reading it from the original stream
* Some small refactoring to other parts of the engine

OpenRayman

An open source reimplementation of the Rayman 2: The Great Escape engine using C++11 and modern OpenGL.

Usage

openrayman [options] ...

OpenRayman needs the base game rayman2 to run.

rayman2 can be created by starting OpenRayman without it or by using the command line option --extract-data "folder". The folder variable should point to a valid Rayman 2: The Great Escape installation.

rayman2 will be copied into the OpenRayman data folder (in data/games). This is all that needs to be done to run OpenRayman.

Do note that OpenRayman contains some extensions to the Rayman 2: The Great Escape game, such as more menu options.

If you for some reason wish to run without these modifications then you will either need to edit the config.json file and change the game variable from rayman2_openrayman to rayman2, or by specifying the game to run via the command line option --game rayman2.

You should always target rayman2_openrayman when making a mod.

GL3W

You need to build gl3w.h and gl3w.c before you build the project.

This can be done by executing lib/gl3w/gl3w_gen.py with Python 2.

Building on Linux

CMake should be used to generate makefiles, and make should be used to build the engine.

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make -j8

The engine can be installed via sudo make install and can then be started by executing the command openrayman.

Additionally, a .desktop file will be created.

Building on Windows

Building should be done with MinGW, and is almost the same as on Linux.

You need to use the command cmake -G "MinGW Makefiles" .. instead of cmake .. to create makefiles, as OpenRayman cannot be built with MSVC.

You might also need mingw32-make -j8 instead of make -j8.

Building on Mac OS X

Mac OS X is not supported at the moment (might work with CMake?).

Licensing

All files in this repository are licensed under GPLv3, except for files that are a part of libopenrayman.

libopenrayman

libopenrayman is a library that contains several helpers for decoding and decompiling file formats used by the Rayman 2: The Great Escape engine.

libopenrayman is at large based upon szymski's Rayman2Lib (https://github.com/szymski/Rayman2Lib).

All files related to libopenrayman are located in the libopenrayman/ subdirectory.
