DKC Atlas Forum

On a horizontal rope. Before now, I could only do vertical ropes and swinging.

You might have just convinced me to revise DKCX later. Nice animation frames, Phyre.

Here's a preview of Jumpman: http://www.dafont.com/jumpman.font

Very interesting! Can this animation be used for climbing horizontal ropes?

In South America and Mexico this myth is known, i'm from Spain but also interested in this strange cases. Could humidity play a role in bit rot? Mexico gets really hot on most days, even during the summer time. After a day's worth of sun rays comes rain. So over there, it's a wheel of fluctuating t...

What other resolution methods do you have in mind?

If it were an exit, the action would be Donkey and Diddy Kong jumping out of the plant. But the plant would have had to been closed (see the other one) to make it seem like a harmless background piece. If it were a spawning object, Kritters would be jumping out endlessly. But unlike the Mini-Drums, ...

Cosmic, I sent you a quick PM.

You just discovered a programming error! The Red Zingers were never meant to be killed. Think of them as the invincible Mincers.

Who was the original creator for the websites you need? You might need to contact them directly for the archives. Sometimes, they retain the information.

If I have the time, I can work on a manual for RE. The decision breaker is whether to code it in HTML or compile one using HTML Help.

Can you revise the grid line display so that they appear over the objects and sprites instead of having it hide behind them? Maybe have the grids show up in a transparent fashion.

Squawks is much improved from the first image. Much better, Cyclone.

Blaziken, do you plan on doing a rip for Necky Nutmare?

Hi Hippie. Heard good things about you. Hope to read your summaries soon.

Squawk's belly should be smooth and curved. It looks as if there is hair protruding from the belly. If you can have the feather marks just stop at the curve (like the image from above without any detail), the image would be improved.

Udivision, yeah, I'm going to have to ask that you please change the name. Donkey Kong Country X has been with me for a very long time. I've been in the process of creating levels for my game, some of which have already been tested to the current capabilities of the Resource Editor. Many of my ideas...

Can you show me how Squawks looks like using a frontal view?

I never really thought of that, Phyre. You know, if you were to turn it sideways using RotSprite, the wire can even be used to climb longways, giving it a much more realistic experience. Or (in the case of my game), it can act as a solid physics line where the electricity is always active, and if yo...

One bug I noticed is that the Re-Koils and Krimps do not produce the enemy hit sound effect like those against the enemies in your previous video (or in your current with Kobble).

Other than that, nice video demo.

From what I've gathered at this website's official Twitter, there was going to be some upgrades. Don't know to what.

Ripsaw Rage - that's in DKC3.

DKC Atlas has them by going here: DKC Atlas Maps Page

I don't know if it's possible to save the maps from there, though. You might want to ask Qyzbud about that.

Which vertical levels are you interested in?

This is pretty nice.

Correction, this is pretty nice.

My one minor gripe with the image you posted: he appears less muscly in the image. Is this just because of the arm movement?

Totally forgot about this: you can snap with objects to an 8x8 grid, but you CANNOT do it with camera boundaries. Would love for the camera boundaries to snap to the 8x8 grid as well.

One problem: You'd need to have an IRC client, either as a stand-alone program or a plug-in. Some users still use Internet Explorer, even to this day, and that program does not possess the ability to run IRCs (unless it's translated via PHP, Python or some other programming language). Just to clarif...

DKCRE has a feature which allows you to use ZSNES as your sandbox. A special save state is created, using Slipslide Ride as a hot stop (When you press Start, Select during the level you are playing, you'll be warped to Slipslide Ride). There is a workaround. You will need to delete the last few obje...

This is not you. I compared the IPS to the ROM, and found that in both instances, the freezing occurs.

Step further: I played the ROM in ZSNES, no problems. This is a DKCRE related error.

Nothing should happen to ZSNES except the bugs within the game that Simion and I have discovered. Those are natural bugs which Nintendo failed to fix. To save as IPS: click on File , point to Swap Formats And Save To , and select .IPS (International Patching System w/ RLE) . Do not use the generic &...

Can you post the IPS/UPS file here? I need to inspect it.

You said the level freezes. Check the bananas. Are they aligned to the top of the level?

Yep, that was me, Qyzbud.

I think the font used in DKC is a customized version of Gill Sans. Fonts can be copyrighted, so maybe the folks at Nintendo couldn't use the true font due to licensing issues. Best way to determine that: match which letters in the database are equal. Does the ROM store the complete font library, Mat...

No need. I got it.

Windows XP SP3
"Finished. No crash!"

You might be in luck, Doomero. I'm able to read Spanish (U.S. native, parents Mexico, brown and proud.)

Do you plan on adding DKC3 enemies onto your test?

I'll respond in PM. But it is the first step.

The Gnawty wheel looks good, Cyclone (By the way, it's called a millstone wheel). I don't see anything wrong with it, except for applying texture as you've stated.

Did it include musical instructions, such as type of instrument, note, tempo, percussion?

Glitch: if you look closely, you can spot the Gnawty nearest to the tree walk backward for one full second.

Either than that, impressive, Cyclone.

Yay for life-like dirt in 3D land.

Do you plan on adding additional texture and detail to the characters or trees?

(Curious, what other models do you have planned?)

Also, what type of RAM do you need? There's a great website that you can use called Crucial . They have a System Scanner tool which analyzes your computer so it can tell you: 1. The type of RAM installed 2. Your motherboard and its max RAM limit The System Scanner will open up a web page and bring y...

I'm curious: can these hacks be opened through DKCRE, just for inspection purposes?

Very nice start, Cyclone.

Do you plan on using these models for the actual games? I think I could use you for my upcoming DKCX fan game.

Your link's not working. I get this error:

"The resource you are trying to access belongs to an account that has not yet been validated"

By the way, here's the link for those who are able to get it:

Diddy bypassing the level's parameter. Grab a barrel, then press the jump button repeatedly to climb over the steep slope at the start of the level.

NOTE: You must have the DirectX August 2008 redistributable package installed in order to play this beta. EDIT: can you do an alternate version that has these keyboard controls listed below? I've been so used to using the arrow keys as my control pad since my days using ZSNES and that emulator where...

What other enemies do you have planned for your game? Seeing Kritter, Buzz, Krook and Krimp is okay, but I would like to see some variety in your demos. How would baddies like Re-Koil, Gnawty, Kutlass, Bristles and the other guys act in your current tests?
