DKC Atlas Forum

EZ


***EDIT***
in my opinion, that isn't worth calling a glitch. That just seems like a fun manip. In this, the game still runs as intended

The save data will still be retained as long as the console is powered on, as the SRAM chip is receiving power from the console. The battery is only there as a power source to retain the data when the console is off. So EZ! Never urn off your console again! I'm sure there are no adverse side effect...

Sir, you are taking way too much offense and taking things personally. Are you ok? Wanna talk about it? DM or here.

If this is because of what I said yesterday, I was wrong. Even if I had a bad day, what I said wasn't right. What did you say? :huh: I legit searched your forum posts. Are you daydreaming again? :P After I replied to you, I edited what I said out and apologized to Tanager. Please don't call me name...

Hey, give Tanager a break, rainbowsprinklez. He was just trying to help provide a topic for discussion and share his thoughts. Since you work on DKC so often, his guess makes sense to me.

Don't assume, because you make an ASS out of U and ME Try again.

Also, DKC isn't even my favorite video game

Also also, you misspelled my name (the z is important)

I don't know if you noticed, but this place is a shell of what it used to be. A handful of people still check the forums, but the majority have naught to ever return.

This the last post I'll make in this style, since I feel like I am posting often and I don't want to annoy anyone e-mail subscribed to this topic.

Fun fact. I edited that for DKC2:Unveiled

I made a brief video covering one of my more useful features.

I love how this turned out

I made a brief vid on what this is



As well as a #short

Here's a quick short of this!

I made a brief video outlining the capabilities of this!

W4 is done! It is by far the craziest yet!

This is one of the 'easier' Ma Ryu hacks. Enjoy!

Lots of useless jumprolls. This is mostly blind. I just do them as I see them. I actually forgot SJRs were a thing until 6-4!

I uploaded a full playthrough, if anyone is interested

Cyclone wrote:How do I use all the thousands of colours the SNES can display? Do I use an array, create the different colours at run time? I'm not sure.

Personally, I just create at runtime. I'm not sure about the efficiency of using an array, but I imagine the difference is negligable.

I made a top 10 DKC hack list of the hacks found on rhdn.



Subtitles are mostly accurate!

As for what that lines does... :mrgreen: Come on, man! Come to think of it, I don't think I'm being 100% accurate (as far as the generally accepted way to do this is. Still good enough by SNES standards) This is color. I'm leaving the lowest 3 bits empty, so my "white" is really 248x248x2...

Yeah, it's a much safer way to do things and it clearly conveys the programmer's intent. The only downside is that you can sometimes end up with a lot of parentheses, but even that's not all that bad and there are still ways to make them look pretty. :dixiehappy: Here is one line of code I have: in...

On this, if ((a & bit) == 0) { ... Be careful of doing this: if (a & bit == 0) { ... These mean entirely different things! In the first scenario, you are checking if the result of 'a & bit' equals 0. In the second, you are checking if bit equals 0, then ANDing that with a

The extra parentheses can be helpful, but they're not strictly necessary in the first case. Some compilers will warn about it because of how easy it is to mix up bitwise AND (&) logical AND (&&) which have different behaviours. Rather than remembering the precedence, I just always use p...

You've got eight loops that are very similar. The first loop operates on the ROW7 and NH variables, the second on ROW6 and HG, and so on. If you put all your ROW7 variables into an array and your N# variables into another array you could loop over them with another loop, so you'd only need one copy...

"interleaved" is more common here than "intertwined". The "twin" in the latter would make me think of two threads of data, like a DNA strand. Perhaps call that an interleaved pair? Interleaved doesn't have a number associated with it which is more suitable for bitplane...

I looked at this, and I gotta say... VERY good job. I'm impressed. Very thorough and explained super well. Boy, I wish I had this guide when I was learning.

I finished a whole run of this. not optimal.

Download link for the track is in the description. I love this. This is a banger!

Yes but it makes sense. Any ideas on a single tile sprite with a proper palette? I still need to play around with something simple until I get the hang of things. Thanks! I know of no tile that is composed of 1 char. Perhaps a good one to look at is KONG letters. That one is a 16x16 tile composed o...

Finally! World 6 is up. What a nightmare!

Upon request, I am making this audio track mod into a separate video. Do you want this track for your own game? Here are the bytes! http://www.mediafire.com/view/cycx0wy5974c1gm/K%20Rool%20Pirates.bin This fits in the space allocated for the original track. This uses no custom waveforms. This is str...

That's really odd. I wonder why RARE made an exception just for that sprite. Not odd. They didn't. Cranky and Funky do the same thing. Think about it. It makes sense. Instead of 8 16 color palettes, they use 1 256 color palette WE might see those as separate things. Candy, the heart, etc. Rare saw ...

what is the palette name for the Red heart then? I was using the default. And I didn't see it in the drop down list. Thanks. It's complicated. I believe the heart palette resides in the bg palette bank. There was never any reason to individually split the palettes by entity because things are const...

User error. You are using the wrong palette.

I made this Google doc so I can have 1 place to look at for new features/bugs https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... edit#gid=0

Sorry user error! I pressed apply thinking it would write to the rom and not the write button. :oops: 'Write' always writes to rom, where 'Apply' makes changes on a program level.

You are using it wrong. There is nothing wrong.

You should be using the tile editor if you want to edit tiles.

I played around with hex editor. All I can seem to do is make the pixels in the tiles black or transparent… How can I for example make it a solid yellow square? Or something easy to change by changing bitplane values That tool will reflect changes you make in rom. Therefore, one thing I like to do ...

Neat trick! I didn't immediately think of that! But I disagree with your claim of that being the quickest way... My way allows you to quickly do in your head, by remembering C is in the same column as 0. Ehh guess they both do the exact same thing anyways!

Cyclone, this is what finally 'clicked' for me in that regard. https://sneslab.net/wiki/Graphics_Format#4bpp

Right now I’m just trying to understand how to read the gfx data and nothing else. I think I found where the first frame of the banana sprite is stored. Now I just need to understand how to read the data in the hex editor. That's what I asked at first, if you understood bitplanes. Bitplanes are how...
