DKC Atlas Forum

The addresses in this post are for the V1.0 U ROM, but the other versions should have addresses in close proximity to these. Feel free to reply with your questions if you can't understand what all of this mumbo-jumbo means. I know from the past that I'm not very great at explaining things the first time through.

3BCC9C-3BF78F Sprite tilemap/graphic pointers (2,749 pointers, each is 4 bytes)
All of the pointers are in SNES HiROM format, which means you'll have to subtract C00000 from the pointer to get the true PC address.

Edit (2026/02/07): Here is a list of what offsets in the table correspond to which sprites. IDs 0004-0088 are unique in that they only contain tilemap data, they do not load tiles (CHR) into VRAM.

Wow, I never knew there was that much unused stuff in DKC!

Thanks to you, Mattrizzle, I can finally work with the sprite data. I was planning on researching it myself but you beat me to it!

Posted: **July 4th, 2008, 4:34 pm**

More info, this time it's the collision data for each sprite:
3B8000-3B9579 Sprite collision data pointers (2,749 pointers, each is 2 bytes)
3B9800-3BA425 Sprite collision data (387 sets, each is 8 bytes)
Bytes 1-2: horizontal displacement of collision box
Bytes 3-4: vertical displacement of collision box
Bytes 5-6: width of collision box
Bytes 7-8: height of collision box

Just what I needed, physics data! Thanks for posting that info!

Mattrizzle, are the offsets of tiles in sprites signed values relative to the center point (eg. 0-7F positive, FF-80 negative)? That's about the only thing I didn't quite gather from your explanation.

I'd try to help with the uncovering of all this great info, but I'm busy with part of DELTA at the moment. Keep on going, this is proving to be very interesting and useful!

You're welcome.

Mattrizzle, are the offsets of tiles in sprites signed values relative to the center point (eg. 0-7F positive, FF-80 negative)? That's about the only thing I didn't quite gather from your explanation.

No. The values for the tile coordinates are unsigned, so(I guess) 7F, 7F would be the closest to the center. The horizontal values run from left to right, while the vertical values run from top to bottom.

However, the collision coordinates are handled in the way you mentioned. For instance, a horizontal displacement of FFF0 means the hitbox will be placed 16 pixels to the left of the center point, while a horizontal displacement of 0010 will shift the hitbox 16 pixels to the right. Likewise, negative values for for vertical displacement will move the hitbox up and positive values will shift it down. If both displacement values are set to 0000, the top left corner of the hitbox will be centered on the origin(again, just a guess).

I noticed this thread a while back, but haven't found the time to post a significant reply until now (and even now it'll have to be brief! :roll:

).

First off, incredible work, Mattrizzle! Your time spent ROM spelunking has turned up loads of useful and interesting info. I'm sure these details will come in handy for a variety of advanced DKC projects, and at the very least, I know Simion will love you long time.

One of these days (hopefully soon) I'm going to start adding content to the Studies & Docs section of DKC Atlas, so at that point I'll want to put up all of this vital hacker documentation up. I would like to give you, Simion and RaccoonSam (amongst others) credit on the site for your discoveries, and your efforts in recording and documenting this info. I may have to ask you data spelunkers for a bit of help when organising the Studies & Docs section logically and accurately, so hopefully I can call on you for assistance when the time comes.

As for the nature of this thread - it seems that most discussion is about the rather amazing assortment of unused sprites you discovered. Really, these discoveries (and any future beta sprite/media finds) are significant enough to deserve their own thread. Having another thread would help keep these two separate discussions distinct from one another, so I'll work on making a clean and logical thread-split when I get a chance.

Byte 5: unused byte?

I'm working on getting sprite dumping coded into the DKCRE, and I have found out what the 4th and 5th bytes are really for. For example, take a look at offset 0x38262E. The fifth byte isn't $00, so it had to be used for something. I investigated further and wrote down my findings...

To highlight those findings, here's a revision I've made to your sprite tilemap explanation:
Byte 1:Number of 16² tiles in Group A
Byte 2:Number of 8² tiles in Group B
Byte 3:Start of Group B 8² tiles relative to start of graphics (Measured in 8² tiles)
Byte 4:Number of 8² tiles in Group C
Byte 5:Start of Group C 8² tiles relative to start of graphics (Measured in 8² tiles)
Byte 6:Start of Group D 8² tiles relative to start of graphics (Measured in 8² tiles)
Byte 7:Where to place Group D in VRAM upon the display of this sprite. (Measured in 8² tiles)
Byte 8:Number of 8² tiles in Group D
Bytes:Group A, B and C position data
Bytes:Sprite graphics for Groups A, B, and C
Bytes:Group D graphics, if present.

EDIT: Any chance you know how the game determines which pallet to use? I'm assuming you just used a tile editor with an imported pallet from a savestate... but when trying to dump everything straight from the ROM, this may get a bit confusing. I'm hoping to find a pallet table or something that designates which set of colors to use. It may not be that simple, though.

I'm glad to hear you're still making progress, Simion!

That would be in the object's code, which the object bytes are actually pointers to. One instance is the first Gnawty type used in Jungle Hijinxs. Its value is B413, which points to 0x35B413.

The object format is fairly simple, consisting of mainly RAM addresses followed by the value to store into the address. As with the animation data, there are a few different control codes. I will list these below:

80: End object data
81 nn NN: Default animation(NNnn)
82 aa AA: Jump to object data at address AAaa
83: Subroutine branches to "end object data" code (unused)
84: No horizontal or vertical flip (unused)
85: Set horizontal flip (unused)
86: Set vertical flip (unused)
87: Set horizontal and vertical flip (unused)
88 pp PP: Palette pointer(PPpp) (Points to bank BC normally, but when bit 4 of $1E15
is set, this points to bank 7F and 5A53 is subtracted from PPpp)
89: Set priority equal to 0 (unused)
8A: Set priority equal to 1 (unused)
8B: Set priority equal to 2 (unused)
8C: Set priority equal to 3 (unused)
8D: Unknown (unused)
8E ff FF: Orientation/Priority
8F xx XX yy YY: When an object is spawned by another object, this determines its coordinates relative to the parent object
90: Unknown, used by six objects
91 qq 00: Set palette line [00-07] (unused)
92 xx XX yy YY: Unknown coordinates, Only used by lives counter
93: Unknown, only used by two objects
94 ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ??: Unknown, appears to be used by objects spawned from item caches
95 ll mm: Execute pointer
96: Unknown (unused)
97 ff FF: Orientation; checks level theme ($32) for exceptions

RAM Addresses Used in Object Initialization Scripts (NOTE: many addresses/values are still missing)

$0B8D Sprite render order

$0C69 Sprite base tile value/Palette*/Priority/Flip
    * If not using palette 0, it isn't recommended to set palette in this way, as the palette line's entry in RAM table $1AE3 won't be incremented
    ($1AE3 is a table containing how many object entities are using each sprite palette line).
    This means the palette will not be locked to the object and could change if all others using the palette are despawned.

$0D11 Determines the sprite used for an object without a default animation

I find it strange that my object code scanner didn't pick up any value for the Kongs and Animal Buddies, though that may be because those animations aren't in object code. They are more likely activated by some ASM code elsewhere (since they are 'major' objects).

EDIT: Palette info is probably not correct.

Posted: **September 22nd, 2008, 5:00 am**

Mattrizzle, the animation digits that you say are used object code are NOT the same as the actual animation pointer digits. For example, a Kritter's death animation/behavior is represented by $0005 in object code, but the death animation digit is $00EA.

(Edited: Nevermind, that was the object code. This is confusing me. Still need to know what's up with those animation digits though.)

Posted: **September 22nd, 2008, 5:12 am**

I am not sure if this is directly related to what you are saying, but do you know how to follow an object short to its ASM code? Here is an example object 9A61 is a ground-slappable hidden banana bunch. Using 9A61, how would I make it so a different object is spawned? Also do you have any ideas on how to make custom barrels? An example barrel is D52D, an auto barrel that points up and shoots up. How would I make it shoot in a different direction?

Posted: **September 26th, 2008, 1:53 pm**

Oops, I didn't see your post until after I edited mine, but anyway...

I suppose you would take 9A61 and add 0x350000 to it, to get 0x359A61.

Then just modify the object code, I guess. Look at Mattrizzle's explanation above to see what the control codes do.

EDIT Before Bumping
Regarding behavior animation digits: Ah, I see! The digits are stored within the object behavior ASM code, and each set of ASM commands is referenced by a digit. In this case, the behavior digit for a Kritter is 0005, and in the ASM there is a "LDA #$00EA" instruction which is where the $00EA comes from... NOW I understand it!

But this does mean I'll have to make a list of all "animation digit + palette" combinations manually... :roll:

Also for your information, I plan on extracting beta items too; I want the extraction to as complete as possible.

Gabriel, I don't know how you would modify a barrel to shoot different directions, it might involve re-arranging object code. I'll probably check it out later when I'm less involved in this animation/palette list stuff.

Is posting about palettes right here?

Sorry, I may seem a nuisance but I have been in the Unused DKC Sprites thread and read a lot of stuff about paletts. My question is not to ask how exactly they work (as I have no idea in ROM hacking or hexadecimal things and that), but just want to know if what I think is kind of correct. Sprites and layers are not colored in the game right? The colors are assigned upon loading. So the game stores where to put the colors in a palette table list? Like, if we divided a DK sprite with the bundaries of the colors we see when he has a pallete, and every division we give it a number, the game would look in the assigned palette table for the numbers and their respective colors; and that's how the shaded and 2nd player colors work, am I in-tune here? =P
My question, now, is if that's how the Orang-utan Gang and Torchlight Trouble effects work... they use pallets or transparent layers? O.o
Sorry, I may be taking you away from your work now with these questions xD

Also, I remember about something I asked you in the DKCLB thread:

Kiddy14 wrote:Mmm... well here's another doubt I have :

Since for making the LB you have to extract the DKC resources, and you made a previous post about the Kong's speed, I wanted to ask this (admins, if this is going too off-topic, please split it):

Well, I've been noticing this since I started playing DKC2. There are some sprites where their "frame-rate" depends on the actual speed of the object while some don't. Example: All of Dixie's walking/running/carrying sprites animate faster the faster she's walking/run, blah... but they get slower the slower she moves. Diddy, on the other side, has his walking sprites animated at the same "frame-rate" whereas he is walking slow or fast.

How will the LB display the sprites with the different speed? Sorry, I'm getting to "tecnique" with this stuff =P

So you told me there must be some code for the animation speed. I may think the sprites have a low animation speed that Rare customized and made the Kongs' animation speed faster depending on it. For example, if Dixie slows down, her animation speed does it too; but if she accelerates, she animates faster; and if you run down a slippery hill, Dixie would animate extremely fast, but Diddy too, even though when running slow or fast his animation is always the same, so when running faster than his fastest speed his sprites move faster.
This also happens in DKC, specially in slippery levels. Though in DKC3, this only seems to happen when Dixie or Kiddy are carrying something. Is kind of weird how Rare applied this.

You know I feel I'm kind of not giving anything worthwhile to the thread so I'd like you to not find that "code" unless it is your next thing in the list or you are already finding it... :oops:

Kiddy14 wrote:The colors are assigned upon loading. (...) So the game stores where to put the colors in a palette table list?

Yes; let me clarify... the graphics are made up of numbers instead of real color values, and when putting something onscreen it looks up the colors for each image from palettes. Each number in the graphics represents a color from the palette. I hope you can understand that, I tried not to get too technical.

Kiddy14 wrote:My question, now, is if that's how the Orang-utan Gang and Torchlight Trouble effects work... they use pallets or transparent layers? O.o

Well, first an original set of colors is loaded from a palette. Then the game "darkens" the colors in the palette to make the environments appear darker. In the case of torchlight trouble, It's just a fancy layering effect.

Remember, the SNES cannot do true alpha transparency - it can only combine/darken/brighten colors from layers (sprites have their own layer). SNES transparency is the effect of two layers being combined.

I think I may already have the code for it, but I'm not sure.

What the game does, is it has a number of frames that each sprite lasts in an animation. The number of frames can be from 00-7F. Then when the game is running, it compares this relative to some variable speed (such as how fast DK is moving) to get the final animation speed.

So I was kind of in the correct way =P yay! xD

Simion32 wrote:Well, first an original set of colors is loaded from a palette. Then the game "darkens" the colors in the palette to make the environments appear darker.

So that's why the game lags in this transition. But the effect is progressive; does that mean the game manually changes the palette in a smooth way, like changing the colors until they match the last palette; or are there kind of 30 palettes for the progressive light effect?

Snow is different right? Donkey moves faster here and Diddy slower.

Banana Group Map Format: XX YY SB...
XX = Number of columns
YY = Number of rows
SB... = Banana Slot Bits. There is one byte for every 8 banana slots. The bits (slots) are read from least to most significant in each byte until each slot in the grid has been read. A 1 means that a banana is there, 0 if there isn't one in that slot. Also: the bananas are placed in columns from bottom to top... then it proceeds to the column to the right of that column and places bananas there, and so forth.

For example, 04 04 FF EE would form a banana group like this:

: Hacked banana formation with slot data FF EE.; bananahack0.PNG (1.03 KiB) Viewed 106094 times

Posted: **October 26th, 2008, 10:00 am**

What defines the banana group's size?

Posted: **October 26th, 2008, 1:23 pm**

Just multiply the columns by the rows to get the total number of bits that will be used. Then just divide by 8 to find out how may bytes you'll need to store all of the bits.

Another example: 03 03 FF 01 would create a 3x3 square of bananas; the seven empty bits in the last byte won't be used.

There happen to be 2 unused green jumping Kritter objects:
99A9 Kritter (green, constant movement, jumps very high)
99E7 Kritter (green, constant movement, jumps very low)

2. There is a night verion of Jungle Hijinx.

How are you sure they didn't just backtrack through the level after it turned to night?

5. Donkey kong can't kill Klump's by jumping on them.

3FA7F8 [A3] Change to 0A to make Klumps invulnerable to Donkey Kong's stomp

10. You can collect more than 100 bananas.

A362 [63 00] Maximum value the banana counter can get to before resetting to 00 - Change to E7 03 to make the maximum 999
A36B [64 00] Value to subtract from the banana counter when the value at the offset above is exceeded - Change to E8 03
These have just one problem: You won't get an extra life until you collect 1000 bananas!

11. Donkey kong can't kill blue krushas by jumping on there head.

3FA802 [99] Change to 00 to make Blue Krushas invulnerable to Donkey Kong's stomp
