DKC Atlas Forum

My parents made me switch it back. :( Pure evil. Internet Explorer isn't standards compliant, or so I've heard. Can't you just have both Firefox and IE on the same computer? Just leave IE as the default browser but keep Firefox installed. You use Firefox, they use IE... Problem solved. But with par...

I would probably group the Barrels, Platforms, Fuel Barrels, and Item Caches into a group called Level Elements.

I may be able to lend a hand with sound effects for DKC as well... Remember how I'm working on the speed-zeroing patch? Well, now I've got two patches in the works. This second patch will force one of the music tracks that stops to play in every level, boss stage, and bonus room . This would allow y...

I think the ground patch things should be referred to as an Item Cache . That word fits nicely, and sounds a lot more professional than "stash". I've always referred to those vine barrels as... well, Vine Barrels . Anything else has too many syllables, or is a very long super-descriptive n...

I HAVE SUPER SMASH BROS. BRAWL!!!

Click on the image below to view it in its entirety I just noticed something: When you do click the image, the scrollbars disappear like they should, but part of the image gets cut-off. I think this only happens in lower resolutions (mine is 1280x1024). It's not that big of a problem, I just though...

That may be true to some extent, but there are bonus areas which are of a different archetype to their containing level. The very first one, for example. Maybe it's automatic for most bonuses, but perhaps these bonus areas of non-matching terrain have their graphic style assigned explicitly? Possib...

Stone wrote:is it possible to tell the game to lead you to this bonus-layout at any bonusroom entrypoint by gamesharking?

Most likely possible. You could also do an ASM hack. (ASM = 65c816 Assembly, the scripting code the SNES uses) Although, I don't know how that could be accomplished, at least not yet.

As for a technical reason, I think they did that to save space. The lower-right area just isn't used in snow levels... I assume it's the exact same data, except it displays using whatever level type you were in. So if you were in the middle of a factory level, all of the bonuses become factory-theme...

Unfortunately, they're 128kbps (they sound great, however). I don't know how to enhance the quality. Bah. Hey Qyz, I can provide full quality 48Khz WAVs of DKC music (already done), and I can convert them to OGG's and or MP3's. I will soon have DKC2 and DKC3 at the ready if you need them (they are ...

Seriously, I can't wait either!

Ah, I see. So we don't have to worry about this. I hate false rumors - they just cause more trouble than good.

To be honest, that makes absolutely no sense. I thought all 3 games in the Trilogy had the same K. Rool... :| If King K. Rool escaped to Crocodile Isle, what would he do there? I don't see why his so-called "brother" would suddenly want to kidnap DK... Maybe King K. Rool is the little brot...

No. That does not happen without cheats/glitches (or you pasted pictures together).

I don't think Qyz wants to use glitches for the screenshots...

It's a nice name, as I can use it for records in games that only allow 3 initials.

Qyzbud wrote:You were truly named after the Taz, the Tassie Devil?

Honest truth.

However, I've still kept a secret about my alias, which you'll have to find out on your own.

All green flags from me.

I think I had that problem once or twice, but it went away on its own.

Yes, I was named after the cartoon character. Quite bizarre, isn't it?

The origin of my forum alias is quite simple: Back when I first got internet, I had no anti-virus. My computer was overrun with viruses, and I made attempts at removing them myself. That was when I started seeing a lot of the System32 folder in the the Windows directory. When my computer was finally...

For Barrel Cannon Canyon:

That particular screen shot was difficult to get; you have to time your barrel blasts just right.

Originally it used to be green, but after getting the background (it's separate from my theme), I did a hue shift to make it fit in.

I call my theme "PhazonXP".

Here's mine. 8-) If you're wondering, that is a custom windows theme I made, so you won't be able find it anywhere. It will most likely be used for mini-windows in the DKC Level Builder's GUI. I don't want to just give away what style the GUI will be, so I used the spoiler tag. (I also noticed that ...

I've beat this game with 53% TOP THAT! haha but whats the lowest % possible if anyone knows? EDIT: I just tested it, the LOWEST POSSIBLE percentage (without hacking) is 21%. If you cheat, that is.

hrmm? I'm not sure why mines bigger than everyone else's :( Use the emulator's screen shot function, not print screen. EDIT: To do that, just hit F1 while playing and select "IMAGE FORMAT" and make sure this is set to .PNG, then to do a screenshot select "SAVE SCREENSHOT" in thi...

Woah, I never noticed that!

Nice find.

I've only ever played it on emulator. Same here. I really liked the style of play this game offered. It's too bad that the game freezes when the timer hits 00:00. It could really benefit from a high score table. I really, really, really like the fact that you bypass the map screen and play straight...

That's exactly what I meant, sometimes I don't use exactly the right wording.

For the 404 error, you could have a picture of the No Cross Hair sign with the Cross Hair nearby, and have it say "Sorry, Target Not Found." For 509, have it say "Banana Transfer Limit Exceeded" (you collect lots of bananas in DKC, so this might make sense) I'll think of some mor...

I think nostalgia is making you think that. DKC has both amazing graphics and gameplay, as many games do now. It's just sad that DK himself hasn't been a big series for a while. This is partially the reason I'm motivated to work on my part of the DKCLB stuff - we haven't (aside from Jungle Climber ...

1. You can easily remove any "useless toolbars". Why bother having a browser that gets those useless toolbars? 2. With the help of Mr. Norton, you can block every single pop-up in existence. You can also do that with Firefox, without installing a ton of crap on your computer. I use Firefo...

...PAR code creation, ROM data extraction... Count me in! :D I will eventually have to find everything in the DKC Trilogy, since I'm making the game engine for the DKC Level Builder.

Firefox.

Internet explorer is a virus-ridden, no-good exploitable piece of junk.

Just the physics are fixed? Or can you still do stuff like modify stregnth (As in being able to kill a Zinger with a roll attack) , AI (As in assigning objects custom movements), or actions (As in getting a Gnawty to emit barrels) Ya, you should be able to do things like that still, I just mean tha...

When you dump a movie, it appears in the directory which ZSNES is in.
AFAIK, not every option works, Try XVid Lossless with merged audio

cfh wrote:OK, I got it to work now.

Haha, I had a lot of trouble setting that MEncoder thing up. You should be glad I gave you that along with with ZSNES.

Tompa wrote:Edit: Also, Simion. 38 minutes on the emulator? That's the time the TAS got (38.56), were you really able to match that time...?

No, I had used the snes9x movie of that to get a quick 101% save game.
I mistakenly thought that was my time.

Kowbrainz wrote:My bad... 44 minutes.

Well, who cares, I'll just do a real speed run and see where I end up... besides, i said about 45 minutes. Last I remember beating it in under 50, so yeah.

I think I remember... I needed a quick 100% save game, so I downloaded a TAS'd emulator movie and let it run all the way through, and then that was what I ended up with.

So yeah, I can't beat that, but I can at least complete it in about 45 minutes. I want to do a real 100% speed-run now!

This is my time (on an emulator), but I'm not sure weather this time is actually legitimate... :? I want to do a re-run through to see if I can beat this! Edit: AHEM!

So would that make my DKJB DK avatar inappropriate? I'll have to make a different one.

OK, cfh has one of my saves now, no need to send more.

I wonder if these were put there on purpose... It's quite possible. Some of these could be camera (screen) controllers, disguised as simple bananas. They could serve other purposes, I guess. You never see these while playing the real game... I think that if that's what they are, then the programmer...

Are you using memory addresses while making this? If you mean the speeds the game uses, then yes. I haven't quite figured out how it works yet.
