Progress Update: Third Sprite Screen of 4, the Palettes Editor I've done a significant amount of work here, with a palette editor that can deal with DELTA's per-image palettes setup. :geek: DELTA_20251001A1047.png It was a lot of effort but the work paid off!! It's not apparent by the screenshot bu...

Progress Update: Second Sprite Screen, the Animation Builder I've done a fair amount of planning and coding since the last post. You double click or hit enter on an animation and it sends you to this screen... which is almost completed: Screenshot 2025-09-26 223724.png There's something not entirel...

Progress Update: Basic Functions CODED, First Sprite Screen Complete I've managed to get the very first sprite screen completed with working functionality for all the menu options. This here is a preview of the basic options for animations manipulation: Surprise!! RotSprite makes it into the progra...

By multi-monitor I mean having two screens set up for your desktop. Apparently old DirectX/OpenGL programs are limited to your primary monitor in Windows 10/11 (DELTA has this strange limitation now too!!). I'll keep looking into it but the issues wouldn't be fixed by just switching to the debug ver...

Further investigation indicates that it would be a complex job to fix the input; I cannot just drop in the new updated routines because the internals of how it works with the old NitroGUI version is completely different from the new code that's in DELTA. Sorry, but I kinda feel at this point it migh...

Sorry but I don't have a fixed version available. At some point there's a gap in my backup files, and the only compile-able version I have only works in debug mode, and is super duper slow. The old program versions all use a mouse routine that tries to directly move the mouse using the hardware coor...

You mean the STOP/GO ones? They are the same objects, themed per level.

This is probably a gap in the implementation, where the barrels aren't using the STOP/GO sprites and show the ON/OFF instead.

But essentially they are the same objects. It just depends on the level you play.

I was able to fix the clipping problem, which turned out to be a very complex issue with the rendering loop. The way it was handling which item to render and what update rectangle to use, was totally wrong (even though at a glance everything seemed OK). It took me a few days since I had to re-arrang...

As it turns out the performance hit is some kind of issue with the rendering loop; the actual drawing routine is still fast. If I disable only the drawing call using a keypress debug, the performance hit is still there even though no actual screen update is taking place. I'm still working on figurin...

I've made a bit more progress, but things are going slow due to the massive amount of planning that needs to take place to get things going properly. Here's a little teaser screenshot... ;) EDIT: The Klumps in this screenshot are animated, which are also responsible for most of the performance hit. ...

DELTA MK2 MINI UPDATE VIDEO #2

Decided it was time for an update. This time I review the audio lists functionality.

Congrats, rainbow!! What an achievement. :) Even with two normally functioning hands, Void 1 is insanely difficult. I had more problems with that battle than I did with the final boss!! I have to admit that I switched to assist mode to be able to pass Void 2 (and everything after it). I'm very impre...

DK64 FLAC Sound Effects Set

As promised, here's the full quality version!

DOWNLOAD (Right Click and Save As) (51 MiB)

DK64 MP3 Sound Effects Set Here's a release while I find a good way to upload the much more space-consuming FLAC version... DK64_SFX_MP3_[v1.1].7z EDIT: Updated to remove the weird duplicate naming. Made the misc section last by adding a 'z' to the beginning of the category name. I tried my best to...

I managed to catch the bonus door SFX!! Found by one of Ghostly Grove's bonuses.



I recorded the audio from bsnes, should be relatively pure.

So I've been inspired by !!!!!'s work and would like to expand on this topic to include DK64 sound effects. I'm working on a full set, but since there are just over 1100 sounds to rename etc etc, I'd like to deliver a small sample of the sfx now while I gather time to work on this. This one includes...

I know the DKC2 explosion is used, but there's actually a rarely heard SFX that plays alongside the explosion, probably I remember hearing it in one of the woods levels. I managed to figure out the DKC3 thing before you posted, but thanks for clearing that one up. Here's a ZIP with a few more that y...

Happy Birthday, Mattrizzle!!

After several days of tinkering with the SFX to build a DKCLB-compatible FLAC set, I've found just a few SFX that seem to be missing: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DKC1 krash's minecart moving sfx (completely missing) -------------------------------...

What an enormous amount of work. Oh my. :o My WinAMP setup seems to play the DKC1 sound effects back at a different rate from the original game. Are you sure the files are properly tagged? EDIT: It's almost like the DKC1 SPCs play back too fast, but with the correct pitch. :scratch: EDIT2: I've use...

Haha, no worries. I see how this is a different topic from regular DKB discussion and will leave it in place.

I admire your efforts, rainbowsprinkles - I myself would probably mentally break down if I had your kind of disability.

RE: DK Bananza

Here you go, a Discussion Topic: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=2972

Donkey_Kong_Bananza_Logo 444x.png So Nintendo made a new game... :thumbs: Here is where to discuss the game. I personally like the deviation from the normal 3D game formula, even though this should really have had more "Country"-ish elements to it (or at least as far as I've seen). It app...

So I've been working on DELTA MK2... I've gotten the vast majority of the non-DELTA-specific GUI elements done, I've debugged the heck out of NitroGUI's message system, added code for a proper languages system, have the GUI scalable for those users that have problems reading or viewing the smaller ...

Keep up the amazing work!!!

I'd just like to update that I had to apply a fix to the XML code, now that I've had a chance to actually test/use the functions in a runnable build. The error was with the way that the root XML node has to be handled. A subtle error, but this caused files to be empty on save due to the root node no...

DKCLB Updated: v0.0.0.2 >>> LINK TO THE GIT REPO <<< This is a post to let you guys know, I've updated the DKCLB files on the repository (for the upcoming DELTA MK2 ;) ). We now have XML file processing and a few extra functions. The new DELTA will be using an advanced XML format for its files; thi...

I'm not deep into DKC trilogy hacking yet, but I really love the idea you've got here!! :) It would be fun to have a multiplayer quiz show game perhaps with more than 2 players (isn't 4 player possible through special SNES controller hardware???). Reminds me of what Banjo-Tooie did with the Tower of...

DKCLB: Defining a Universal Level Identification Code I'm going to be working on various aspects of the DKCLB at some point, and I came to the realization that we need a system designed to have level ID's that are sortable (so that things appear nice and neat in the DELTA editor). Let us define a f...

Great stuff as always!

I wonder how the boss fight would transition into 3D?...

I must say this is some extra high quality development, Cosmicman!!

Thanks for keeping the flame alive -- I've been carrying the DKCLB torch for a long time, but your work is just so amazing.

I cannot properly fathom such advanced 3D modeling work - your efforts really show!!

Progress Update: Explaining the Error!! So I've done some heavy research on the problem that needs to be fixed, and it goes something like this: After selecting the first tile, the tiles that are marked possible by the algorithm can end up not having a fully intersecting grid with the tiles that ar...

A quick update on that: This appears to happen due to a logic bug in my implementation of the actual algorithm. It should NEVER be possible for from-scratch levels to fail given the logic the algorithm is supposed to be following. The issue stems from the fact that it is failing to check to ensure ...

Well guess what I found out trying to generate a 20x20 Jungles level: it is actually possible that... given a set of tile wave functions, a tile in the level will not have any possible tile that can intersect the graph and be selected. This appears to be some sort of complex wave function effect tha...

Perlin Hunter is now Simion's Search 3 Why the name change? I decided that since I'm the sole developer of this new search algorithm, I might as well name it after myself. ;) Additionally there were several iterations of Perlin Hunter behind the scenes -- technically speaking, the current code woul...

Progress Update: Innovations and Delays!!! Development has really slowed down, but that doesn't mean I don't have chances to plan and innovate for the next big thing. ;) I'm considering a new model of ROM editing that uses a go-between data format where DKCRE and DKCLB are fused with DELTA. Essenti...

Progress Update: Progress on the New GUI Amidst real life tasks I have managed to keep development rolling, and you're going to love what I've brewed up using the Valkyrie extension!! 20240220_Progress_DKCRE_MK2.png The interface has the ability to arbitrarily upscale the text and controls. It even...

Oh, expect some delays again guys... real life is starting to intervene again like usual for this time of year.

I'll still probably get some stuff done but it will be much slower than usual.

Yeah, Perlin Hunter 3 is the tilemap generator ( click here )... but adding it to DKCRE will probably not happen in the next version due to complexity issues with making the tilemap editable dynamically. That will be for a later version. I could possibly add basics-only PH3 as an experimental option...

Progress Update: "Phazon" with "Valkyrie", Program Being Completely Restructured Internally About a month ago I put together a project file to encompass my old DKCRE code, and the program bugs out if I'm not running it within the debugger. This is to gather details for a new and...

EDIT: I've updated the memory mappings section, fixed a few errors, and added a troubleshooting note to the beginning of the contents list.

I've already found another minor error: The pcrlong addressing mode should say "16 bits" and not "24 bits".

Still just a minor error though, I won't be reuploading just for that.
