DKC Atlas Forum

A little digging around turned up the entire comic here.

The presence of the "sparkly" () at the top right of a post indicates that particular user is currently on-line.

Shortest (height) is Skidda's Row, Riverside Race, Lightning Look-Out and Bobbing Barrel Brawl, all from DKC3, at 448 pixels each. The Riverside levels all have two rows of errant tiles at the top, which appear to have been cropped off by someone who's username starts with the letter Q . Skidda's R...

The maps I did were assembled using the map layout from the game, so they should all be correct. Stampede Sprint, the corners of Bazza's Blockade Presumably repetitive blank tiles would take up less space when compressed, rather than having the correct tiles in areas players were never meant to see....

Happy birthday, Simion32.

In a manner of speaking.

I'm adding a page title notifier Been there, done that! var chats = (document.getElementById('mChatData').getElementsByTagName('div').length / 2); var chats2 = (document.getElementById('mChatData').getElementsByTagName('div').length / 2); function chat_fetch() { window.setTimeout(chat_fetch, 10000)...

It is the banana collected sound (link), it just doesn't work in the chat at the moment.

Thanks for the birthday wishes Simion32, it's been a fun day.

I believe the "turn power off" shortcut combo might be part of the hardware, not the game. I don't think so; I seem to recall Link's Awakening using the soft reset combination to save the game. I'm sure I've played games that don't respond to the reset combo at certain times either. I rem...

Another way to go about diagnosing the problem would be to determine what makes that page different, seeing as it only happens on that particular page. There doesn't seem to be anything unusual other than the five YouTube videos that are embedded, so I'd start there. The "allowfullscreen" ...

Banana.

The SDK2 editor has a built in search function that allows you to search for individual objects. According to it, the only blue balloons are a normal one in Topsail Trouble and a hidden one in Bramble Scramble. In DKC3: Lakeside Limbo (Hard to miss) Tracker Barrel Trek (Not Rocket Barrel Ride) Blazi...

Nope, not a thing... :\

Information has been scarce from the beginning and there's still no indication that there's anything new to be seen.

Fixed.

No, the issue seems to have been resolved.

1. Renaming levels inside the SDK2 editor is a bit awkward, but should work fine as long as each character is preceded by a comma. If it won't work, it should be just as easy to change the values with any hex editor. Level names start at 0x34D07C. 2. The sprite data is all heirarchial, in that commo...

The MP3 spec requires a small section of silence at the beginning and end of the file which is automatically included by most programs when it it saved or created. This makes is unsuitable for audio that is intended to loop seamlessly. I ran into that problem in a project I had to do a while back in...

The tilesets used by the SDK2 editor are loaded directly from the rom and the correct palette is then applied. The SDK3 editor does not load the tiles from rom, but instead uses the images inside the "chips" folder. Any change to them would affect the appearance of a map in the editor. Thi...

Happy birthday, Simion32!

Both games are similar enough that sorting shouldn't do much more than rearrange the order of the items. Occasionally stuff breaks for no reason. As long as it works in the end... ;) I'm still not sure about all the edge cases, but I've occasionally encountered problems with camera alignment in cert...

Camera properties. - This was written based on the SDK3 editor, but it should be the same for the SDK2 editor. I've found that if you get all of the parameters correct when rearranging cameras, the level should work fine. I'm not completely sure about the intricacies of the sort button, but it shou...

I love Nights into Dreams. It is definitely one of my favourite games due to how bright and colourful it is. The gameplay is quite unique; if I had to describe it in one word, it would be "trippy". :shock: The controls and movements are very fluid, and the game itself is as hard as hell. I...

It's just the difference between time zones. The server time is GMT+9.30, which is shown when you are not logged in. When you are logged in, everything is is set to your local time based on the option in the user control panel. So anyone in the EST time zone who is not logged in would see tomorrow's...

I'm going to guess the following: ⋅ I think it's safe to assume that the original rom Preposterify was using was headered. ⋅ When making the hack, the header was silently removed by DKCRE. ⋅ The patch was made by comparing between the original headered rom, and the hack...

The issue of patching seems to come up quite a lot, and many people have problems with it. I propose we make a detailed guide patching guide, that explains how to make them, how to apply them, how to prepare roms for patching, and so on. This way whenever someone has trouble patching something, we c...

All the individual tile maps that the SDK3 editor uses are bundled with it and each level is loaded from them, unlike the SDK2 editor which loads them from rom. Presumably one could play with the color balance and other features of Photoshop in order to get something that looks a bit better, but it ...

New Year's Eve? That is so yesterday.......

Happy New Year everyone!

The most recent releaseI have prior to this one (r70) still exhibits the same issue. This new release does not, so I think it's fair to assume the bug has been eliminated. Well done!

Not yet. I'm planning to release a patch as soon as I've finished Kremwood Forest, not counting Squeals On Wheels or Riverside Race which I want to save for later. I'm about halfway through Springin' Spiders, and I've not yet looked at Bobbing Barrel Brawl. Arich's Ambush is already done. ;) I was p...

Hi, The patch is distributed in the ups format, which prevents it from being applied to the wrong rom. So first, you'll need the correct rom, which is the USA version of Donkey Kong Country 3. if necessary, the rom should be deinterleaved, and should not have a header. Interleaving is fairly uncommo...

Thank you, Simion32. That's cheered me up after a depressingly dull, uneventful day.

Notes: There are signs of input delay from the beginning. That is, moving the mouse and the screen updating slightly later. I initially put this slight delay down to double buffering or vsync, or whatever. It's much more noticable with a mouse than any other form of input. Just mentioning it in case...

Tracks 1-24.

First: Tried input with only my graphics tablet - same problem. It probably has a similarly high dpi like the first mouse. Second: Tried with a ps/2 mouse that I had in a drawer - same problem. This mouse definitely isn't as fancy as the others. Third: Tried with my third mouse, which is also a ver...

Any documentation that might have came with the mouse is probably long gone... A highly suspicious ebay listing for the same model tells me it is capable of 1200dpi.

Do you have a high-end keyboard/mouse? Simple run-of-the-mill USB laser mouse and a very old, but reliable keyboard. So yeah, probably the mouse, although I've had it so long I've forgotten what it's really capable of. I've also got my graphics tablet plugged in all the time, but I don't really sus...

... After 25-35 seconds, I get extreme lag. The mouse slows down and takes much longer to react to movement. This seems to get gradually worse. The same thing happens with inputs and normal key presses. This affects all things globally. :evil: CPU usage starts at about 40-50% and only increases. Pro...

Yes!

So here are the SDK2 Editor, the SDK3 Editor and the Map Tools for DKC3. All Anglicised by myself. 8-) SDK2 Editor SDK3 Editor Map Tools for DKC3 with Frontend!* These should help make editing DKC2 & DKC3 quite a bit easier. For the actual tile editing you will of course need Platinum which can ...

I do know about that; it's an unlucky side effect of having everything so high up. It isn't critical, so I thought it would be fun to leave it as a visual bug.

Regardless of the specs, I'd imagine that the capabilities and potential of pure C++ far exceed Game Maker in many ways.

Whoa! Hacks like this make the rest of us look bad...

DKC3 - Unleashed About: Since late last year, I've been working on a complete rom hack of DKC3: "DKC3 Unleashed aims to be the first complete hack of Donkey Kong Country 3. While it contains absolutely no terrain or map edits whatsoever, it demonstrates that these are not necessary for those w...

All Nintendo cartridges use the same format. I imagine the number would be something to do with the batch in which it was produced? (Unimportant) The letters indicate the version of the game. If the numbers are followed by an "A", the cartridge would be v1.1, if it were "B" it wo...
