Readme for Rayman2 Demo Version
|
|
================================================================
|
|
This file will attempt to explain the basics of installing and
|
|
playing Rayman 2 on the PC. Please note that this is a game
|
|
still in development and there are still a number of bugs. If
|
|
you have feedback or comments on this demo, please send them to:
|
|
yourfeedback@rayman2.com
|
|
|
|
|
|
To play the game you must have either Direct-X(tm) or Glide(tm)
|
|
installed. This demo will not install them for you.
|
|
|
|
================================================================
|
|
Controls
|
|
===============================================================
|
|
We recommend playing with a game pad such as the Microsoft
|
|
Sidewinder (tm). However, it is possible to play with a keyboard.
|
|
If you play with a keyboard, remember that all movements are
|
|
relative to the camera and not to Rayman. For example, if you
|
|
want to move right relative to the camera, press the right arrow
|
|
button.

|
Keyboard Controls for an american QWERTY keyboard
|
|
=============================================================
|
|
The arrow keys are used to move in the desired direction
|
|
|
|
A - to jump - also useful for skipping texts
|
|
Space Bar - to fire
|
|
Ctrl - the left control key - to strafe - useful in combat
|
|
Shift - to walk instead of running
|
|
|
|
|
|
Camera Controls
|
|
0 on the numeric keypad - look mode
|
|
Left Ctrl - puts the camera behind Rayman
|
|
|
|
Look mode is useful for looking around. Press 0 on the numeric
|
|
keypad and hold it down, and you can then use the arrow keys
|
|
to look around.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Rayman has many magical powers, some of which are available in
|
|
this demo. For example, if you press A to jump and then press
|
|
A again, Rayman will use his hair as a helicopter. This allows
|
|
him to fall much more slowly. Also, he can climb on a number
|
|
of objects: rope ladders, and nets for example. When fighting
|
|
pirates, be sure to use the strafe mode by pressing the Ctrl
|
|
key while fighting.

|
History
|
|
============================================================
|
|
Pirates have taken over Rayman's world, and they have
|
|
imprisoned him and most of his friends. Rayman has escaped
|
|
from the pirates, but he needs to regain his powers in order
|
|
to free his friends from the pirates and their boss, the evil
|
|
Razorbeard. Ly the fairy is the only one who can help him,
|
|
but she too has been captured by the pirates. To free her,
|
|
Rayman must battle pirates and disable the machine that
|
|
has placed her in suspension. The pirates have broken the
|
|
primordial energy of the world into a thousand pieces,
|
|
called "lums". Rayman needs to recover these lums in order
|
|
to regain his powers. Also, the red lums contain vital
|
|
energy that can restore Rayman's health.

|
Hints
|
|
==========================================================
|
|
Many interesting things are hidden behind the bandages,
|
|
but different techniques are needed in order to access
|
|
the hidden passages. For example, in the beginning of the
|
|
demo there is a bandage on the grass between Rayman and
|
|
the pirate ship. Rayman isn't capable of breaking the
|
|
seal by himself, but maybe he can get some help from a
|
|
"friend". Other bandages can be broken with Rayman's fist,
|
|
and still others need to be broken with barrels full of
|
|
gunpowder. Rayman can pick up these barrels of gunpowder
|
|
and throw them; this can be very useful.
|
|
|
|
Some passages are blocked and can only be opened by
|
|
finding the right switch. To open a closed passage, Rayman
|
|
needs to shoot the light switch with his fist.
|
|
|
|
When two walls are close enough together to form a
|
|
crevice, Rayman can shimmy up between them by jumping
|
|
rapidly. To jump up between two walls hit the "A"
|
|
key rapidly.

|
Known Bugs
|
|
========================================================
|
|
Please note that this is a demo and not the final version of
|
|
the game. We are still debugging it and we know that there
|
|
are still a number of bugs.
|
|
|
|
Don't use the menus. If you try to change resolutions
|
|
in the menus it will probably hang.
|
|
|
|
Sometimes the game doesn't exit cleanly.
|
|
|
|
There are a couple of problems with Voodoo based cards
|
|
under different 3D APIs. We strongly recommend installing
|
|
the Glide version if you have a Voodoo1 or Voodoo2 based card.
|
|
If you have a Voodoo Banshee, a Voodoo Rush, or a Voodoo3 based
|
|
graphics card, we recommend installing the Direct-X version.
|
|
|
|
A number of 3d graphics cards have problems with the drivers.
|
|
If you suspect that you are having a problem with your drivers,
|
|
please contact your card vendor.
|
|
|
|
We are working to correct these problems for the final version of the game.
|
|
Thanks for your understanding.
