Re: Conker's ~ High Rule Tail ~ Public Release!

It's been awhile since I tried RA, but I'm 98% sure it does support MSU-1 when using a bsnes core. I think you launch the game via the .bml file instead of the .sfc file in order to get it to enable it.

Also, +1 for posting a news article to RHDN. That will absolutely make a huge impact in the visibility of the release, because then it'll basically get its own front page post, otherwise it just ends up in the weekly round-up bot posts, and who wants that? It's fine for point releases and whatnot, but something like this definitely deserves a news post.

This confuses me. Referencing the tacklist as well as my playthrough of the game ~60% of it comes from melodies from other sources e.g. metroid, other zelda games, star wars. Do you mean you're responsible for each of the particular arrangements in the game?

I suppose I need to explain the whole situation. I'm not responsible for the entire soundtrack, many tracks are free-to-play tracks from soundcloud and such that are not mine. I am responsible for themes such as the title theme and most of the dungeon themes; however, I am not responsible for all the tracks in the game. Most of the tracks I have make for the hack are original. Does that clear things up?

Qwerty, if it takes much longer, you can send me the ending voice overs anytime, and I'll adjust the slides.

by **qwertymodo** Wed 2 Nov 2016 - 11:15

How much are you able to adjust them? Is there a limit, or can I just give them to you with timestamps and you take it from there?

by **Conn** Wed 2 Nov 2016 - 12:52

All I need are the tracks. I will adjust each slide separately and individually depending on the text said. I think I will not make a different length for msu/spc since the more text on screen the longer the spc version should also last to read.

Just be sure there's a small time of no text between 2 slides(fade in out), so I have some buffer.

So all you need to do qwerty is send me a pm with the dl link of your tracks, I will take care of the rest Wink

Yes that makes total sense. I think I could have reread what you said earlier and come to that conclusion so oops on my part. Yes your tracks definitely seem to be almost all original, once again congratulations on this.

No problem. I don't really like making covers. They're tedious to make and your material will likely be compared to the original as superior or inferior. Making your own music is just more fun and a unique experience. I see making covers as a way to learn but not something that should be your entire music portfolio. Also hearing the same Mega Man II cover over and over is just annoying (you know the one!).

Oh, this was released! Oh, well then, I better get on playing this!

by Mr.x Wed 9 Nov 2016 - 13:15

It's been a while now, is the game ever going to be on RHDN and have a news article?

by **Conn** Wed 9 Nov 2016 - 14:02

Behind the scenes, seph, Euclid and I fixed at least 10 more bugs, some of them even critical.
Only thing missing is, as far I know qwerty ending voice over tracks. With a bit of luck, v1.1 Will be released next week. So for all wanting to play the game I suggest waiting a bit longer for this release, which then will also find it's way to rhdn

Yes, this is the Vaati's crypt. I remember when I build a prototype for this dungeon on a separate Rom and how much it has changed until this final look.

SeH tricked us all here with his "puzzle" at the 2 block-keys, which I even thought it was a bug when beta testing. You see, the small key remeining is on the other side of the same room in a jar - and you can get it from the same room, in which the blocks are in, with a trick. Can you guess what to do?

Since this seemed to not be trivial, SePH then added a hint for this, but not in this room. The hint was in the room where you got the Big Key.

Spoiler:

Good to know. Thank you for the update. Since I believe once it is up on that site, it will gain its glory, but no sooner - and of course it needs to be bug free. It is odd though that these topics are not public or at least "semi-public" as they basically contain the debug, which we were all involved with at some point for this game.

by **Conn** Wed 9 Nov 2016 - 15:10

It's in the admin den, and honestly, I'm happy that this forum isn't spammed with quest for catalania, design issues or whatsoever.
I'm sure seph will give a buglist.
E.g. bat animation after aghanim 2 lost
Bouncing back on screen border causes crash
Feather after gliding into spikes at the border of a pit, where you fall in afterwards causes permanent freeze
And lot of more issues. All solved so far Very Happy

by **Floki** Wed 9 Nov 2016 - 19:02

- Bouncing against walls in overworlds disabled
- Deku Seed platform now green like it was supposed to
- Stormtrooper Falling Animation added
- Enemies prizepacks, health and damage types changes
- Ganon batcave event fixed (bat gfx didn't appear properly)
- Longer end screens time and msu-1 voiceovers
- Underverse moldrum fix if you move down in screen and kill him
(if you killed him at the bottom of the screen, his head didn't die properly)
- If you fall in a hole as bunny link in Parallel Tower ruins you reset as link
- Restored Trixie monologue after releasing bees on her.
- Feather softlock when using it against spike blocks
- Vaati despawning out of bounds glitch fix
- Underverse bossrush now all respawn correctly
- Space dungeon exploits fixes
- Parallel Tower ruins swimming through walls fix

1.1 will be out here and at RHDN when its ready

by **Conn** Wed 9 Nov 2016 - 20:04

Jupp, I think only qwerty tracks and my endingslide time adjustments is missing and we're done Very Happy

...right, Seph?

by **Floki** Wed 9 Nov 2016 - 20:06

Yes we should be done after that!

by xanax Thu 10 Nov 2016 - 14:30

I did end up making it out..there was one one other problem i noticed in vattis..you can make it to the PUZZ room without having the spin attack and if you do you will be permanently stuck there until you eat the red pill to get out..not a huge deal but thought i would mention..thanks again for this game tho i just got the storm trooper suit and know where im going next.

by **Floki** Thu 10 Nov 2016 - 16:12

Space would be your next destination.

Spin attack you get automatically with the baseball bat.

Hurricane spin attack you get with another object.

Does that mean you end up doing dungeon six before dungeon three?

You can also use normal baseball bat attacks for those pots, doesn't necessary needs a spin attack.

by xanax Thu 10 Nov 2016 - 20:07

I was at dungeon 3 but never got the main chest then proceeded throuh the game to vatis without the bat thats why i was stumped on vattis until i backtracked levels until i found the bat..then realized the map wasnt showing a key.i guess i would have eventually checked that place but thanks for tje help.

by **Conn** Sat 12 Nov 2016 - 7:26

qwerty is so far finished, but couldn't find the new tracks in the shared folder yet. As soon I have them, I will adjust the slides' times and then SePH can release. Dunno how much work that means for me to this date but I anticipate the 1.1 release to be next week! Very Happy

by **qwertymodo** Sun 13 Nov 2016 - 14:00

They should be online now, I mistakenly paused the upload and then walked away thinking it had finished.

by **Conn** Sun 13 Nov 2016 - 14:32

Got them, thanks Smile

I hope I am able to adjust the slides in the upcoming days!

by **Floki** Sun 13 Nov 2016 - 17:13

Much thanks qwertymodo!

Hopefully you'll figure it out Conn!

by **Conn** Mon 14 Nov 2016 - 8:41

Nice work qwerty, after listening, only nitpicks: Seph voice is a bit too silent, and theme 36, the music is too loud. But I am fine with it, as you can also read what's said ^^

I surely can match the times
