Hidden walls

Adding a hidden wall

If you want to add a new hidden wall:

1. Convert an image file into a packed XNB file.

   While there aren’t any restrictions with how it should be named, avoid using spaces or special characters and it’s suggested that you name it in a way that you can retroactively know which file is later on. An example could be:

   `SCREEN`_[NAME]_[NUMBER] (e.g. 65_house_1)
   

   If you follow such, you can easily tell which screen the hidden wall is used in, what is the hidden wall, and a number if you have more than one hidden walls.

2. Head to the following folder: props/hidden_walls.
3. You can put your new packed hidden wall image inside the textures folder. Write down your hidden wall image file name somewhere, this will be used later.
4. Check if you already have an existing xml file for the screen that you want to add your new hidden wall image, you can easily find it by searching “hidden_wall” and then the screen number (e.g. hidden_wall65.xml).

   If the file doesn’t exists, don’t worry!

   1. Copy the following snippet:

        <?xml version="1.0"?>
        <RaymanCollection xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
          <walls>
            <RaymanData> 
              <achievements>                                                <!-- leave this as is -->
                <AchievementCode>GO_THOUGH_ILLUSORY_WALL</AchievementCode>  <!-- leave this as is -->
              </achievements>                                               <!-- leave this as is -->
              <texture_name>YOUR_HIDDEN_WALL_NAME</texture_name>
              <Position>
                <X>YOUR_HIDDEN_WALL_X_POSITION</X>
                <Y>YOUR_HIDDEN_WALL_Y_POSITION</Y>
              </Position>
            </RaymanData>
          </walls>
        </RaymanCollection>
      

   2. Create a new xml file called hidden_wall[SCREEN] (e.g. hidden_wall65.xml), open it and paste the snippet above

   If the file already exists:

   1. Copy the following snippet:

        <RaymanData> 
            <achievements>                                                <!-- leave this as is -->
              <AchievementCode>GO_THOUGH_ILLUSORY_WALL</AchievementCode>  <!-- leave this as is -->
            </achievements>                                               <!-- leave this as is -->
            <texture_name>YOUR_HIDDEN_WALL_NAME</texture_name>
            <Position>
              <X>YOUR_HIDDEN_WALL_X_POSITION</X>
              <Y>YOUR_HIDDEN_WALL_Y_POSITION</Y>
            </Position>
          </RaymanData>
      

   2. Inside the walls tag, below already existing RaymanDatas, paste your snippet.

5. Replace YOUR_HIDDEN_WALL_NAME with the filename of your new packed hidden wall.
6. Replace the X and Y (YOUR_HIDDEN_WALL_X_POSITION and YOUR_HIDDEN_WALL_Y_POSITION) with the relative position of the top-left corner.

Replacing a hidden wall

To replace an already existing hidden wall image:

1. Convert the new hidden wall image into a packed XNB file.
2. Replace the old file with the new file in the props/hidden_walls/textures.

   If your packed file isn’t named the same as before, you will need to change the texture_name tag in the xml file(s) that previously had the old file or remove the layer completely.

Removing a hidden wall

To remove a hidden wall image:

1. Find the hidden wall packed image of your choice and remove it.
2. You will need to remove each RaymanData tag in the xml file(s) that contained your old file as texture_name.

Adding/replacing/removing hidden wall prop

Hidden wall props are just like simple props.

The only difference from the simple prop is the directory of the xml configuration file, that is props/hidden walls props instead of props.
