DKC Atlas Forum

Cool. May I suggest adding music sanity? So I could, say, change 1-1, and EVERY associated level changes too. Also, you got all the varieties of levels... does that mean you have an array of $3e values? If you have the array, sanity becomes SO much easier.

Thanks, although I figured it out quickly when I remember 'normal' people use the decimal system

So if I'm reading this correctly, when dealing with the alphabetic portion of the HEX code, they will always translate to the top row, ergo: 0 = c 1 = d 2 = a and e 3 = b and f Yes. Also note 8 and 9 converts to 0 and 1. In the HEX format, "a" represents 10 going all the way up to "f...

Hey guys! Are you sick of getting SNES addresses when you just want to know what to change in hex? I mean, a Gnawty in DKC1's init script is at b5b413. How does THAT help me? Actually, a lot. It's actually very easy to convert, and you can even convert in your head! Consider this table. 0 1 2 3 4 5 ...

By playing around I noticed if I change the 21st byte At the risk of sounding snobby, I have a favor to ask you. Can you please convert every value you give me to hexadecimal? I work so much in hex that I am used to counting like that. So when you said 21st byte my first thought was 0x21, which is ...

Idk how you found that A0 12 byte pair, but there's 2 bytes before it in the rom header. In the document it says... "Song Header Start Address Donkey Kong Country = $12a0" That is where I got the A0 12 from. I thought that is where the header starts. That is saying which address IN THE SP...

and under Donkey Kong Country Presets it says 1C xx yy zz ww - Set Volume L/R & ADSR Preset 1 Do not worry about command 1c. You only want to worry about command 11. Idk how you found that A0 12 byte pair, but there's 2 bytes before it in the rom header. 14 Funky's Fugue 0x060000 0x0AB3A4 12a0 ...

I'm working on an editor for DKC. I've been working on this editor for a while. I've been working with my bud Sch1ey to work out all the kinks. So it will be a short time longer. I am thinking I will release it side-by-side with his DKC1 hack. He has exclusively used my editor. There are really some...

Here's an oldie, but a goodie You know, I'll stop clogging up here and redirect you to my youtube

The Ice Age Alley SJR was cool! It appears that video is brand new. Only new because I had the file for ages but never uploaded to Youtube. (and I can't upload mp4s here :facepalm: ) The Blackout Basement SJR seems faster but thanks for letting me know! :parry: Looks can be deceiving :) I timed tho...

I found and executed an SJR in Blackout Basement! Speedrunners rejoice! https://www.dropbox.com/s/n35ed6nfzm2aenv/CF0A08CA-DFCD-459E-A142-A80513A71E92.MOV?dl=0 :parry: That one has been found before and timed to be slower, but good job finding that! There is always the TAS only 4-3 SJR! 0qIp5LzH5fo

Sadly, I could never make blackout SJR faster... although we found multiple methods back in the day. There is always the TAS only 4-3 SJR!

Why make a whole new sprite sheet when you could just change the color?

That's him. He is just more of a TASser in regards to DKC

Tompa

No love for you full 101 TAS? Or your new new new Any%?

Tompa! You're a speedrunner now!

It's the fact Tompa said it. He's a DKC veteran

It's coo, it's coo. I have a pretty bad case of imposter syndrome, so I never share here. I made that fight over 3 years ago! I published on YouTube maybe 3 months ago

I studied the above guide in making the music hacks I did.

The waveform set positions are wrong for 1.0 as well, but if you subtract 5 from each of them, you get the proper offset. Here are the the offsets for the two relevant pointer tables in (U) revisions 1.0 and 1.1: 0xAB159-0xAB1A9 Sequence data pointers (3 bytes per pointer, 27 pointers) 0xAB20D-0xAB...

I prefer not to wait since I am restless. I do everything myself. But you do you!

Don't waste your time. Adding objects to levels is not hard, but tricky to do and not overlap any used data. DKCRE doesn't have this capability. Mine only allows you to delete and readd previously existing objects.

I'm impressed that you accidentally found that. Find more zips for us pleas!

IDK what your issue is. I use bizhawk, and I was able to get it. Idk. Might be input delay? Can't say. I don't play on console.

I don't know anything about rom hacking but is it really that hard to get this to work? Pretty hard, but I might be overcomplicating it. There are A LOT of little things to do, at least from a DKC1 perspective. if I recall correctly, the objects that spawned are hard-coded. Also, vram management co...

The size of the ROM and the limit of object map sizes are completely unrelated. You could always expand the rom but that wont do anythiing about object maps. Also, DKC1 already has a ton of free space!

19 is at 0xd3deab and 1a is at 0xfc5a12. Question. What are you changing about music? Just tempo?

If what I am reading is correct, this is the way to modify a script in DKC, as merely moving the scripts from their original position through RE would cause them to break. Until the script issues were resolved, we could only replace the script as a new object in the meantime. Has that bug ever been...

Thank you, Kingizor! I can springboard off your comments! "pointer" refers to the ID of each object. The SDK2 and SDK3 editors both have a near full list of these (sprites.ini) which might make things a bit easier. It might be helpful if rainbow felt like integrating that data into the edi...

Cyclone wrote:What can you do with it?

Change stuff. Kingizor? I'm bad at explaining myself.

Sounds interesting. What does it do? Screenshots please. https://i.imgur.com/ZQ7WxTM.png This just takes a sprite pointer and loads it for you. Each line is a new index. Each index can either be a key-value, or a command. For key-values, the key just represents which byte of the sprite is looked at...

So, I recently created a couple of init script editors for DKC 2 and 3. Here, you just enter in the sprite code used in the editor. DKC 3 is a bit incomplete. Both use the 1.0 U version. Only pairs are editable, commands are not. This allows you to change key value pairs and save. Alternatively, the...

If you all could ask Rare anything about DKC1, what would it be?

I would like to know if 'X to Fly' was ever a beta feature, as seen in the cursed cart pichi has.

Those are ram addresses? Not sure what to do with them That's because I was pretty vague. Sorry. There is a much easier way to do this. 0x01d5b7 holds the 16-bit pointer where credits start. Offset 0x01d5c9 holds the 16-bit pointer where credits end. Those RAM addresses... $7f36b5 - I think holds t...

No I haven't. Did you?

Check these 3 values. These are important.

Is making a backup copy when the user saves the changes ok.. instead of what you suggested? That is a band-aid fix. That might work, but it isn't good practice. Trying to make this work is more trouble than just refactoring your code. Trust me, you will be thankful when you make the change. Otherwi...

I wish someone mentioned that a long time ago....! I would have to re-write a lot of code... Not to argue.... but... Pro-tip. I have seen your past work. Best practice is to NOT directly edit a file on the disk. What you should do, is instead read the file into a byte array. http://www.dkc-atlas.co...

Did you ever find a way to change the length of the credits?

That should be fairly easy: just swapping tracks. An array of songs to play by level code is here:
int MUSICTRACK = 0xb983b6;
Actually, for what you describe that might be harder. Changing LEVELS will work as I said. Kong family might be a bit different.

Loveemu did amazing work! I heavily used his documentation to create the music here!

Great to see some additional tools being made for DKC! ;) Thank you for the kind words and again for the object list.
