Been a while. I did some DKC 3 rips last year of most of the map screens (minus the world map). I'm back for a while, I have a new rip ready, and probably some more, which I will update this thread with. Have a look-
Banana Bird Queen (and her area + children)-
Did my best here. I can't find a completed rip of her and her area. This one was pretty challenging to do. One thing that was hard to rip was the sigil that glows in the middle of the monolith-like prison wall. The tiny baby birds kept flying around getting in the way. I had to replay the area tons of times and hope they'd go in a random pattern NOT in front of the sigil. Annoying to say the least.
Things to note-
- Symbols in the sigil light up yellow in succession. Each symbol can just be extracted manually, they are all there.
- The green turd-looking thing is just a mask to use when the Kongs are present. It's used to make them seem like they are in front of the clouds. In a fangame, put this in front of the Kongs, but make the shape display the background.
- I separated the small banana bird animations. One is of them flying. The other is their standing idle animation.
- The extra cloud layer appears in front of the monolith, for added depth.
- The Queen's body is part of the background and never moves. The head is a separate sprite.
- Red gem goes in the center of the monolith. It acts as the "lock" here, and shakes and explodes when the children sing.
- Sun shines out when the Queen is free. There were more frames than I expected. Should be given the proper alpha transparency levels obviously.
Enough of my ramblings. Sorry i've gone so long without a new rip. Still would like to do the world map. I've improved my mspaint skills, so maybe it will be easier. For now, enjoy this rip. I will update this thread later with more rips (hopefully). I'm working on a better rip of Funky's Rental shop, should be done quite soon. Will post soon.
