Re: SDK2 Editor Discussion

There isn't any way to do this directly with the SDK2 editor, but it is possible to do it by hand with a hex editor. Finding the address you need to modify can be a bit tricky though. DKC3 made this stuff easy because it kept the bonus values right next to the bonus type. DKC2 seems to handle things...

Quaraage, I tried testing your SDK2 editor builds on an up to date Windows 7 machine, but they failed to start properly. The programs complained about missing "MSVCP120D.dll", which is the debug version ( en ) of the MSVC C++ runtime library. The debug version expected is a debug build tha...

Re: --Translated-- SDK2 Editor, SDK3 Editor & DKC3 Map Tool

Most people who have reported the USA version crashing have been trying to use a v1.1 ROM with the default rominfo file, which is meant for v.1.0. Replacing the default file with the appropriate one in the rominfo folder is usually enough to fix that. The program could crash outright if the loaded R...

Re: --Translated-- SDK2 Editor, SDK3 Editor & DKC3 Map Tool

You don't interact with the backgrounds, so there isn't much point including them in an editor. Even if it were to display them it wouldn't look the same as it would in-game, mainly because the background is much smaller than the terrain layer. In-game, the background layer will often move slightly ...

The most likely reason is that the rominfo file doesn't match the ROM version you're using. In the base directory there is a file called "rominfo.ini". A different version of this file is required depending on the region and version of the ROM you are using. The default file should be comp...
