Multimedia Fusion Developer 2? You spent 200+ dollars like I did, huh?

That said I only have the non-developer edition of the program, so any developer-only things I won't be able to examine if you were to post any project files here.

How do you expect people to edit levels, since the project file can only be edited with a 200 dollar program? Or is this going to be a standalone fan game?

A demo release would be nice!

[hiperkalango]

Hello
I have the CD MMF2
The game was made in it.
I can have the engine but for those who are willing to help
And you know enough about MMF2
The staff of the Community has very good ideas.
What do you think of putting it in practice

[Simion32]

I'd say go ahead with it, but I probably won't be able to help as I have my own massive DKC projects to deal with already (DKC Resource Editor, DKC Level Builder, etc).

[hiperkalango]

New version

[Markster]

It looks great, it looks just like DKC, the characters act normally, the physics looks perfect, and the graphics, just plane awesome, I can't wait to play it, in fact, why don't you release a beta version soon.

[Joshy]

Hey congrats on the engine progression you've really nailed down some great functionality in it.

Keep at it, I'd love to see a beta release as already mentioned above me.

[Kimi Kong]

It's got potential. Good job. Sadly i couldnt read what was said. Anyway you could translate?

[hiperkalango]

[Phyreburnz]

It's looking really good so far!
Are you planning on putting animal buddies in it, too? I've been working on trying to put all of the Kongs on all of the animal buddies, if you need any help with that.
Also, what about baddies? I didn't see any!

[hiperkalango]

This is only a preview of what I already programmed
My intention is to place all animals Buddyes
Kremillins recolored, Mix Stages and more
I'm going slowly
I Need those DK sprites in horizontal rope
if anyone can help me I thank
Thanks for your support

[Phyreburnz]

You're more than welcome to use those sprites I made for the horizontal rope. Is there a special format you'd like them in?

[Ninni973]

Hello, hiperkalango. I have watched your videos before. Looking good so far! I recommend putting a Bramble Blast stage in your next video of the beta. I would love it.

[hiperkalango]

Sorry!!!
Invalid Links

[VideoViking]

Please be advised that your antivirus scanner may pick up Hiperkalango's program as a virus or malicious application. Should the unfortunate arise, you will be required to include an exclusion/exception to your antivirus program's blacklist before you can play it.

Most likely, the program contains scripts related to keylogging. Bitdefender Internet Security 2012 tracked it down and deleted it, too.

[Simion32]

Kaspersky Internet Security 2011 did not report any viruses, but did report PDM.Keylogger behavior (sadly, Delta Game Engine is actually known to have this false positive too).

As a programmer I can tell you that from a game programming standpoint, some keylogging behavior in general is perfectly normal - just be sure the program isn't doing other bad things.

Thank you for Playing

[Markster]

I played the beta, and it rocks, fan-gaming for life!

[Ninni973]

Hiperkalango, is the beta virus-free? I'm too scared to download it because VideoViking said someone's antivirus scanner may think your program has a virus. Look at VideoViking's post on this topic.

Also, your program is getting more awesome. Keep it up!

[hiperkalango]

There is no virus in my program.
Stay calm.
You can download without fear ...
^ ^
Review and tell me what you think

[aperson98]

Well I tried this out and I love it, keep up the good work.

[Ninni973]

Well, I downloaded it, but I can't open the .rar! Please help!

[Markster]

Use Winrar.

[Simion32]

http://www.7-zip.org/
It's free and also can unpack RAR's.

[hiperkalango]

looks like this

[Cosmicman]

Wow, that looks incredible.

[Markster]

How is the progress going for Kremlings and Animal Buddies so far?

[hiperkalango]

have not even started ....
I'm working on it

[Lanky Kong]

You should add Map Screens so it will look a lot, A LOT more of DKC!

and reorganizating the Levels on Difficulty and Type of Stage (Example: World 1: Jungle, World 2: Undergrounds, World 3: Water, etc.)

[hiperkalango]

[Phyreburnz]

Were you able to use those sprites of DK on the horizontal rope?

[Markster]

I got a few questions for you.

1. Would you conciser changing the resolution to 320x240?
2. You made some enemys, when will animal buddies come.

[leo_core]

Hello everyone!
I'm working on this project with HiperKalango and would like to show a small preview of what we are doing:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5hL3yAsxPQ

The system for switch partners
One of the custom stages
One of the custom Boss

http://dkc4.blogspot.com/

[The Banana Bird]

Welcome leo core, that boss looks AWESOME!!! Does he happen to be the first boss? Anyways I like the new archytype whats it called?

[VideoViking]

The second archetype DKC4 featured was taken from Capcom's Super Ghouls N' Ghost.

[Ninni973]

I like the new archetype. And the custom boss is... KARNI KONG!!!

Keep up the good work!

[The Banana Bird]

Karni Kong looks hella freakin awesome! I saw him and I had to keep repeating the clip of him XD

[leo_core]

Well, this boss has no name and their movements are not yet completed, it is only a preview.

"KARNI KONG!" roflmao, like it!
This boss I got from the arcade game "E-Swat", Here a picture of him:

Karni Kong looks hella freakin awesome! I saw him and I had to keep repeating the clip of him XD

lol, thanks for watching!

Sorry, forgot to give credit's to Phyreburnz for use DK on the horizontal rope (I should have asked permission to use the author ), but in the next preview will give the credits.
Stay tuned for more news and thanks to all!

[The Banana Bird]

Ouch, I took the name Karni Kong to seriously XD It does seem like a fitting name for him though.

I'll think about it, thank you for the suggestion.

Help!
I need the level maps from DKC3 but can not find anywhere, anyone know where I can find???

Edit:
I found here!

Egg
http://dkc-atlas.com/maps/dkc3/1-4

Terrain from this map:
http://dkc-atlas.com/maps/dkc3/layers/terrain/1-4.png

Edit2:
Oh... Only have until 2-2 Level
Does anyone know where I could find more?

[VideoViking]

Because the game's decompressor has yet to be decrypted, DKC3 data is unavailable for ripping. I am ripping the maps out myself using the SDK3 Editor, Adobe Photoshop and the Windows Prt Scrn key. It's been a long, arduous and tedious journey, but so far, the mapping has gone smoothly. I had to deal with some side effects in part to the SDK3 Editor using a decryption method that hasn't been thoroughly analyzed. On the plus side, level mapping is easier as the program only uses a default palette scheme for each level archetype.

[Kingizor]

All the individual tile maps that the SDK3 editor uses are bundled with it and each level is loaded from them, unlike the SDK2 editor which loads them from rom.

Presumably one could play with the color balance and other features of Photoshop in order to get something that looks a bit better, but it would be difficult to get something 100% correct.

There is however, a much easier way of doing ripping the maps. If you use the map compression tools for DKC3, and load an archetype in Platinum, there is an option to save the entire map as a bitmap. All you'd have to do is crop the individual levels.

[leo_core]

Thanks for the information was very helpful.

[Tonberry2000]

I honestly don't care for the Dixie/Diddy swaps. If the original DK/Diddy swap was fine, why not theirs too?

[Ninni973]

The snow level looks awesome! It's one of my favorite archetypes in DKC! The team tags look awesome too.
