Hello 'teens. I've been working on a ROMhack that's been progressing quite well, and I'd like your help. I can do every part of the modding, for me that's easy, but I am so damn bad at pixel art. I would also like gemmy suggestions and ideas for what to replace things with. For context, each sprite is limited to four colors, one of which is always black. That limits what's possible by quite a bit.
<Here's what we have so far:
Donkey Kong is Hunky
Jumpman is Chudjak
>Doesn't even have the 'stika? Offsiter coal jannies JSID!I tried to do Nate (I originally planned for Nate to be saving Soytan), but it wasn't possible with the limited color palette. Also not enough room for the 'stika, so I chose to just do a cross. I'm going to be posting all the sprites I've made here if any artistGODs want to improve them, especially Chudjak.
Pauline is Mymy
>automatic brimstone you 'liggerWell do you have a better character in mind? Mymy even has a very close color palette, that makes it a lot easier for me. It also makes this a canon prequel in the MegaChud universe lore evendoe that guy has nothing to do with this project
<I haven't decided anything else yet. Here's a full playthrough if you'd like to see everything we have to work with:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3By4OVaHIAThe most notable things are:
Thrown Barrels
Barrel Decoration (what Hunky grabs from)
Hammer
Bouncing Spring Enemy - maybe a laughing frog?
Oil Barrel
Fire Guys (Stage 1)
Fire Guys (Stage 3)
Blue Fire Guys (Stage 3)
Objects:
Purse
Umbrella
Heart
Pies
Conveyor Belts (and other platforms maybe)
<I'm leaving music, sfx, and maybe even gameplay changes for the very end, if I choose to do those at all, as that's the most difficult and annoying thing to do. I will change the title screen to say "HUNKY KONG", but it's also a very tedious process, so I'll leave that for the end.
<If any really talented artistGOD wants to make a parody of the NES cartridge/box/art, that would be great too.

▶ №63407[Quote]>>63409>>63410
I have a idea for the handling for the Pauline replacements
So there would be 3 versions of the game, one where Pauline is replaced with Mymy, Second where she is replaced by Soytan and a third one where she is replaced by Bridget (Crystal Cafe Gapejak not the tranime troon) but you can also make it where you can switch between them using a dipswitch (A thing on the NES where it switch betweens different modes on games, it was only officially used in that ultra-rare Nintendo Championship game) but I think that might be hard to put into the hack
▶ №63409[Quote]>>63413
>>63407I don't think I'd be able to do that, but it would be really easy for me to just edit the ROM once it's finished and switch out Soytan for Mymy if somebaldi wanted to make the sprites for that.

>>63407geg I didn't know that 'fe gapejak has a name

Chud is almost done
▶ №63414[Quote]
You can make the blue fire guys (who are troons in the hack) in the last level have a pink and green color palette to make them resemble pooners and you can edit the items you can collect along with Pauline
▶ №63416[Quote]>>63417>>63419
>>63413Gemmy, I'll ad that rn. In order of priority, we have:
- Captured sprite for Soytan
- Something to replace the HRT can's animated fire on top, which shares a color palette and therefore has to be pink, blue and white. Although if nobaldi can think of anything good for it I suppose troon-colored fire on top of the barrel is kind of funny
- Something to replace the umbrella with. It shares the color palette of the bag, which I'm changing into a gem, so it can only be dark blue, light blue, and white (and black).
I need to check the color palettes for the rest of the items to see what is linked to what. I don't want to have anyone make sprites that we can't use because it's linked to something that needs certain colors.
▶ №63417[Quote]
>>63416For example, moving barrels (the ones that roll at you) share a color palette with the hammer, so it's probably best to think of something that would work for both. The hammer is honestly pretty good as itself though, so it's more about having a color scheme for the barrels that fits the hammer
▶ №63418[Quote]
Dis is a gem
▶ №63422[Quote]>>63425
>>63419Geg, I'll add the thrembo and troon flag. I should be able to send a clip in a couple minutes. I don't think the barrel should say hrt, I think it'd add more variety (and make more sense in the very important lore) if it's soy or hunky related.
▶ №63425[Quote]
>>63422there is no lore btw
▶ №63426[Quote]>>63427
>>63424finally anpoorved, animations look gemmy. will you change the title text?
▶ №63430[Quote]>>63431
Looks like we altered all sprites. Are there any remaining? Like those larger fireballs
▶ №63431[Quote]>>63432
>>63430There's quite a few left. I've had problems with the colors for a bit (I just spent a half-hour trying to fix the in-game UI text turning blue; turns out the first color of the umbrella palette also determines the UI color for some reason, so I had to remake and re-put in the item sprites once I figured that out). Basically I'm going to figure out what palettes are connected to which things, and then I'm going to write them out here so it makes this easier for everyone.
<That being said, Stage 2 is basically complete:
▶ №63432[Quote]>>63436>>63439
>>63431It's, like, already 70% of all stuff is done in 1.5 days. We're fast geg
Why is there no hunky climbing animation? Not ready yet?
And gem looks small, I can redraw it if you want
▶ №63433[Quote]>>63434
>>63362Connected color palettes that I know of (there may be unforeseen consequences like w/ the thrembo and gem and UI). The numbers are the color palette they share. I can change those colors to anything.
06 27 02 - Hammer and Moving Barrels
15 2C 06 - (Second Level) Steel Beam Platforms and Ladders and Oil Barrel (marge what oil barrel)
2C 27 02 - (Third Level) Platforms and Ladders and Removable Supports
16 30 27 - Fire Ball and Fire (coming out of barrel) and Fire Guys (Third Level) [that's the guy we haven't made into something else yet, this color palette is the troon now btw]
I believe not connected to anything are:
30 12 24 - (Third Level) Items (For Extra Points)
27 02 17 - Barrels (the stacked First Level decoration)
06 30 12 - Hammer (Third Level, shares Stage 1 sprite though)
30 12 24 - (Third Level) Items
30 27 16 - Pulleys (Second Level)
2C 16 13 - Blue Fire Guy (Third Level) [I like the idea of inverting its colors so its orange and red instead and making it a seething feraljak face, if possible]
And there's the title text and stuff, but I'm going to do all of that. We don't have to change a few if those if we don't want, like the ladders and platforms.

You could make the big fireballs into the hanging troonjaks I drew yesterday. Also, maybe you could recolor the moving platforms on 75M to use the same color as the frog's lips. That way they'd still be red instead of white.
You could make the HRT barrel purple too, it would make the girder shading a little less ugly. Use color #04 o algx

>>63536This is fucked. I should never have done this.
SNCA: So I went to the section of the code where I know the music is, and decided to try and figure out how the music engine works. Ok, looks good so far, each hex value is a different note. But the hex values are just so damn far apart, like I could tell one was only two notes above another but it was like 5A and 80. Ok, whatever, if they're just randomly assigned to each note, then I'll go through each note one-by-one and write in notepad which is which. So I start writing them down, and I realize that there are hex values that… do nothing? and I realized they alter the length of the note before them. Ok, whatever. But the biggest problem is that I don't know these notes. I'm not particularly good with music, and I can't identify the notes by ear. This is about an hour in, so I decide to figure something out. I tried to find a website that would identify notes, but I can't, but then I remember I have FL Studio. So I look stuff up a bit, and find out there's a program built-in that has a feature where it tries to identify each note. Luckily in FCEUX I can disable the other triangle and other square, so that makes things easy for me. So I record it with audacity, put the sound in, figure out how to do that, and it mostly works. Now I'm making slightly more progress writing down each note. But it's still fucked, and some of them just don't work sometimes? And there's only, like, 6 written down, which isn't nearly enough for the song. And I haven't even touched the triangle or other square yet. But at this point I'm like 3 hours into trying to add custom music. I can't give up. Then I remember this was made by Nintendo, and they re-use a lot of their code. So I start researching Super Mario Bros music customization, and I found this document put together by a Chinese dude that barely speaks English. I can tell this shit is ancient because he put his email in it. But after reading through, I tested it and it actually does use the same music engine as SMB, so now I can actually start putting in the song.

▶ №63556[Quote]>>63557
>>63555Why it sounds so bad is that the length of the notes is coded somewhere in the music engine. In SMB it's not like that. So the game start sound for example, if the exact notes are placed in the title music, they're turned staccato. That means Square 1 and triangle, the other two "instruments", are almost useless in a fast-paced song like this (and square 1 isn't even able to play noise because of it)

>>63556I should clarify, the length of the notes is determined *per song* in the sound engine.

>>63561What I did was I repurposed the extra tiles from the removed letter and top of the O (now the U) by lining up their positions and then changing the hex value of their sprite to the corresponding pieces of Hunky. I don't think there's enough spare pieces to make a full Hunky (iirc there were 5, and I used 4 of them for him, and there's only four I can see there that I could steal off by taking one from the G, O, top K and bottom K), but it's still pretty cool imo. I could theoretically make almost anything I want there, including a half-decent Soyjak Party logo, if I had enough tiles to work with. And it obviously shares the palette so I'd have to change that. Hunky was also pretty convenient in that his sprites aren't that far away from the pipe, so it was easy for me to just count to them.
<I looked a bit more and there's a ton of unused graphics available that I could replace with whatever I want. I'm gonna test if I can replace the actual text with random graphics, because if I can, I'll be able to put the imp eyes in the place of where the 2026 is.

I think it's done. I recorded a full perfect playthrough, but I guess I can't post .mkv files on the soybooru.com, the premium soyjak archive. I'll post a .mov or .mp4 playthrough in a minute. As for the ROM, what would be the best way for me to share it? I can either just post the 25KB ROM itself or I could post it in a folder containing a bunch of extra goodies and stuff (.txts explaining the process, cancelled content and sprites, etc) if anyone would be interested in that.

Here are my future plans for this: probably nothing. I might make a 'ligger version since we already have a Mymy sprite, and I could recolor Chud to look like a 'ligger (I don't remember what the non-derogatory term is for them geg). I'll look at the 2010 Original Edition that has the missing level and Hunky climbing animation, but if I see anything difficult or annoying at all to deal with, I'm not porting it to that, so just assume nothing will happen unless I post otherwise. That's about it I think.

In 'lig Edition I wanted to have it be "Z" and "L" (Zaryan/Zate and 'ligger), but since I replaced the Z with a / I couldn't do that and decided to be lazy and leave it.

>>63647I'm not actually too upset about it, I guess it's probably a funny mistake and kind of expected given it was a three-day project. I was pretty close to having completed this without any major mistakes though.

>>63620I want to take a break after this one, maybe a week or so, but I'm interested in doing a ROMhack of the original non-super Mario Bros. This time, however, I'll make sure to check out both the original release and the better edition with more content to figure out which I should choose. Dev time should be a lot shorter now that I know how to do everything, and we could even re-use some of the Hunky Kong sprites.
<I can already see a lot of geg-worthy opportunities in it. This version introduces the deleted ice guy that turns the platform below him to ice, something like it being a Jartycuck that turns the platform to shit could be great. The fireballs in different colors are probably the same sprite, I could make that the hanging troonjak and have the other palettes be hanging yotsoyba and pooner or something else.

>>63651Forgot to link it. This is the improved Classics Series version that iirc never released in the US, but has more content and better controls.

>>63651Correction: the icicles were the deleted feature they reimplemented (og still had the ice guy). This would also be way easier and faster than a SMW or a DKC hack, so more likely to get completed.

>>63651So this is kind of interesting. I opened up the Original Edition (2010 release of NES Donkey Kong with climbing and the deleted level) just expecting it to look too different and then close it, but the graphics are actually perfectly aligned with the original release, except that it seems like they pasted the graphics in here three times, the first being completely identical to the original, the second being mostly the same but has a bit more from the "new" content, and the last being complete. I assume this means they were just a bunch of lazy fucks and upgraded the cartridge to MMC5 or something and then pasted the contents in there multiple times while working on it and just left all that in there. I still have yet to look at the code - this is what will make or break if I port it or not - but hopefully they were lazy there as well, since this might actually be not that long or difficult of a job.
▶ №63664[Quote]
>>63661Holy shit. Ok, so I was wrong about why they did that. I pasted in the graphics 1-1 for that "first set" that's identical to the original, and what they ACTUALLY did was they just put in the sprites for the whole game for each level. So each level has a completely new set of graphics, which makes a lot of opportunities. If the code isn't fucked compared to the og release, which I guess I'll check out now, there might be some gemmy opportunities here.

how do you edit both palettes and sprites?
▶ №63677[Quote]
>>63676Additionally, there's a lot of useful info in the Hunky Kong folder since I wrote down everything I knew and learned as I went. For a bit more info on changing color palettes, let's say you want to edit Pauline's color palette (which is shared with the heart item). Her palette is 0F 30 27 24. The first number is not changeable, it's the transparent pixel - the background of an NES game is a solid color, and in the case of Donkey Kong, since it's always solid black it's can therefore be used as a black pixel. The next three numbers are the corresponding NES colors which you can see here
>>63362. You can then change those to any others on the NES palette that you want.

>>63651You can make the hack based off the Classic Series version which is more accurate to the original Arcade version (it only released in Germoney doe)

>>63648Ah alright! I was planning on making it another April Fools upload for next year like past rips featuring this joke, but due to how good this ROMhack is I'll just upload it as normal

>>63700You should make the cement (or pies I don't fucking know) brimstone
▶ №63702[Quote]>>63706>>63707
>>63701I was thinking that. There are quite a few things going on though that we can do stuff with:
- We can add more stuff now. Because Nintendo were a bunch of lazy fucks, the sprites for each level are completely new for literally everything, although they do share palettes sometimes? Regardless, I think we can have a new small item and big item (that we can give a unique palette on level 2 and maybe 3), a new hammer (if we wanted), new troon enemies, and more. And obviously there's the pie/cement level content.
- We can do more with stuff we already have. For example: we can give Soytan a unique animation each stage. Right now it's meant to be her shouting and waving her hand, but we could do more stuff. Although it's important to keep in mind that she shares the same head sprite for both frames, so only the bottom 2/3rds of her changes (this is why I didn't fully implement the animation somebaldi made).
▶ №63706[Quote]>>63708
>>63702Here is what you can do for replacements of the things in the games in different levels
Level 2 Troons: Pooners
Level 3 Troons: Neutralpliers
Level 4 Troons: Jartycucks
and make it where Hunky starts looking more angry throughout the levels
▶ №63707[Quote]>>63709>>63710
>>63702Here are the sprites if anyone's interested in making new or altered content for Hunky Kong Ultimate Edition.
>Marge why are the colors like thatColors are set for sprites in the code. So basically the colors in this you have to map to the colors in the clip (every sprite here is in the clip above), how dark or light the colors are is irrelevant. Easy to do though since there are only three colors and black. Ignore the other stuff on the zoomed out sprite sheets, it just makes it easier for me if I can paste it back in like that. For thrembo and gem-replacing items we get an extra palette (that they share), so you can use any three colors here
>>63362 for that rather than just the blue, although you could still use it if you want.
>Why is Soytan like thatThere are two frames, and they both share the top 8 pixels (her head).
>Can I change colors on anything else besides itemsOnly the hammer if you wanted to make a hammer-replacing weapon, which I actually did include the sprite for in the soytan sheet. Fire guys, besides the blue one, share the same palette every stage, so we can only have troon variants.
▶ №63708[Quote]
>>63706Sorry, I should've worded that differently. We can have more troon enemies as in more enemies with that color palette. The items actually do have a separate palette per stage though
▶ №63710[Quote]
>>63707And incase you want more help with the Soytan sprites, there's
>>63384 and
>>63403 (Pauline's sprites in the bottom right of the sheet).

Mostly bad but some good news:
So I did some testing, specifically I tried to implement the 'teen's idea of having Hunky get progressively more angry, and it turns out that Fraudtendo, despite making each stage have a whole set of the game's sprites, still has the Stage 1 sprites apply to stages 3 (laughing frog) and 4 (pegs), and only Stage 2 (cement/pie factory) has a fully unique set of sprites.
<
The good news, however, is that this still allows us to do some cool stuff. We can still have a new big item, little item, hammer/weapon (or two if we really wanted since the original wasn't changed), and troon enemy. It's a shame though, I was going to make Hunky get progressively more angry/unhappy and Soytan get progressively less sperging and actually smiling the last stage and it was going to be kino. For that I'm actually gonna downgrade the name since it's no longer deserving of the title "Ultimate", it's Hunky Kong Upgraded Edition now.

>>63713I wasn't planning on doing on gameplay stuff since the ROMhack was finished and this is just a port to a superior version of the game, but I suppose we could. Or you could, because I'm not nearly skilled or knowledgeable enough to do anything more than very minute changes. It'd probably be better to wait until the Mario Bros ROMhack for that though.

Sorry for no update the past few days, I've been busy. I should actually just make a consolidated post of what I'm doing here since I only half-explained what I'm doing in the last few messages.
<I have successfully ported Hunky Kong to the version of the game where Donkey Kong climbs the ladder, and it also has the pie/cementy level (you can see both here
>>63700). It was actually really easy, I didn't expect that at all. Not only is there the new content in that level available to us to gem up, but because of how Nintendo added those features, we can add totally new content and actually have more than the game itself does. The new content we are able to add is:
- 1 new big item (sharing a palette with the new small item)
- 1 new small item (sharing a palette with the new big item)
- 1 new troon enemy (using the troon palette)
- 2 new hammers/weapons (we never changed the og hammer)
- 1 8x16 object to replace the cement/pie, although it can technically be taller since it's a 16x16 sprite
<The sprites to change, the colors available to us, and other information is above. I'm not going to make a thread on /soy/ until I have a day where I can actually bump it every hour or so and keep it alive, since I'm busy rn. In my opinion, the order of priority for if/what to change is the cement/pie, troon enemy, big item, small item, and hammers. I can always just use the thrembo and gem, and it seems kind of hard to make anything gemmy in the place of the hammer.
<I'm still going to be busy for a while, so I'm going to wait to make a thread on /soy/ (if nophono cares or sees this in /v/) until I can at least reppy it for a couple hours.

>>64553Just added an updated Thanks and Credits .txt. Besides that, if a 'kiGOD can add some of this to the Hunky Kong article I'd greatly appreciate it. I think that's the last thing that needs to be done for Hunky Kong to be completely finished.
▶ №64602[Quote]>>64612
>>64553GEG Alicia really looks like this, nice work
I'll update the 'ki article tomorrow. I've sent new media to anporval, once it's there I'll add it to page and also link the article from other pages.
There are mistakes in credits, I'm the 'teen who made Hunky in /soy/ (that's why I'm "Hunky artist"). Also some other stuff is not mine. That's how it was:
Hunky artist 'teen - made Hunky himself, some Chud sprites, kidnapped Soytan sprite, troon flag, thrembo and various scrapped items like a giant gem, tall gem, big soylent bottle, and key. Also helped a lot with the 'ki article. Thank you!
Artist 'teen 2 (Spade barrel/troonjak guy) - made Troon, Soytan, Mymy, spade barrel, and various items like mein kampf (scrapped), soylent bottle and pepe. Thank you!
Soyteen "Bob" - Helped with ideas and suggestions throughout the whole process.
