Hyrule Rumble - The installation guide to Sjaak's PMBR

[Le Chuck]

Seems as tho some folks would appreciate a how-to on getting Sjaak's Pac-Man Battle Royale version going.  This thread aims to consolidate all the information between the Banana Royale thread and the PMBR build thread. 

Unfortunately getting the game running isn't a one-step download process.  You will need the following:

• Microsoft .NET Framework 4
• Microsoft XNA Framework Redistributable 4.0

You might also need DirectX 9.0c.

Once you've installed the required dependencies you'll need the game which is available here.  This is version 6 as is the most up-to-date as of 31 Aug 2016.  When you unzip BananaRoyale6 I recommend placing the folder in your root drive.  Mine is c:/Hyrule_Rumble, you can leave it BananaRoyale6 or whatever you like providing there are no spaces anywhere in the path. Make sure the path to the folder of the game doesn't contain any spaces. 

To play Hyrule Rumble you'll need a few more things.  Download Hyrule_Rumble sounds.rar and Hyrule_Rumble levels and sprites.rar from below.  When you unpack them the entire contents of both folders goes into the game root folder.  In this example c:/Hyrule_Rumble.  Just overwrite the other sounds and folders.  I included my Game.ini so when you execute the game you'll be set for Hyrule_Rumble as played on a regular screen, in windowed mode, with HLSL disabled. 

The game does not support joysticks so if you're setup using a joypad encoder you'll need to set-up a JoytoKey profiles or a similar tool to get you playing.  Otherwise just assign keys as needed.  To get you playing out of the box just use the direction arrows and the Lctrl button and you'll be off to the races. 

There is no quit key but Alt+F4 works a trick.  Recommend setting that up in JoytoKey as well if your FE doesn't do it for you.

Hyrule_Rumble has seven levels and comes with no music.  Right now music is global, so whatever tune you pick will be the same for every level.  You can roll your own from the Zelda Universe.  They already come as .mp3 so just rename your winner to Custom.mp3 and drop it in your game folder.

Screencaps are below.  Some of these are from a version back so there are minor tweaks to what you're actually getting - but you get the idea.

   Thanks for the tutorial Le Chuck.
Always wanted to give this version a try.

Awesome, thank you Le Chuck.
Up and running fine.

Have other people made the playfields/sprite sets available for download?
I see many png files of a complete set of art but didn't notice any download links for individual file sets.

There is a sprite set using Pac-Man style sprite available but the Hyrule Rumble levels are unique to the Hyrule Rumble maze2.png.  So if you were to use my levels and Sjaak's maze2.png the levels would play fine but look garbled - so you'd have to roll your own levels or just use the stock ones.

Damageinc86 posted a link to a his Pac-man sprite set in Sjaak's build thread, quoted below for continuity:

When the game was in early stages of design sprites were collected from a single sprite sheet.  All those sheets are for those versions, if you wanted to use any of them they would require being split apart and renamed to match the current file structure.

Hello.

To get right to the point. This game crashes on my friends pc right when you get to "Fight!" before any movement happens. It works on mines though. We both have location of the file in mind to not have spaces in the address. Heck we even tried it with it in the root. Yes I've read all the thread posts here, including the one with "Hyrule Rumble" and "Battle Royale replica".

We both have the bananaroyale.exe on the Avast Exclusion list. The only difference between me and my friend's pc is that his is Windows 7 and my mini laptop where I successfully play it on is Windows 8. I'm concerned since I want to transfer this game to my Main PC where I have all of my games and it's a Windows 7 PC.

We also tried running as Administrator......he already has the latest XNA and .NET stuff.

What could be the problem?



Another few things: Is there a way to make the game into "Deluxe" display within the settings? (nothing is flipped, all of the text are facing the same direction as if all players were looking at big flatscreen tv in a living room)

What are the other difficulties. The default is "Normal" in the settings. Are there more? Is it three and other two are "Easy" and "Hard" written exactly?

[Dinner Supreme]

I don't see how that attachment fixes this problem

mmm. Avast seems to hate this file? why would banana Royal show up as a false positive? anyone else having this issue? is the file safe?
