Hi guys! I was working with some DKR textures. Not so much progress, although the most visible Ancient Lake's textures are done. See and tell me if you like them or if it's a no-no.

NOTE: Most textures are in JPEG format, so you need Rice 6.1.1beta3 or later in order to get them working. Sorry but JPEG quality is good enough for these kind of textures and the RAR size is smaller this way.

EDIT: A little upgrade which adds more textures, including some of the snow stages. Also, the small font is included, note that it isn't finished yet. I didn't include the water textures, they seem to make things unstable here. :( Anyways, you can get them in the next messages if you want.

Looking pretty good!! Seems you're gonna do all the N64 games ;)

Nah, I was a bit tired with those SSB CI textures and decided to have fun with this game which has lots of RGB textures. Thanks anyways ;)

[spork9]

I LOVE DKR!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH. This will be shweet wonce you get to the later lvls. I and on 30 ballons wright now. If you havent already gotten the righer lvl textures you can use a cheat. : ) thank you, this owns.

BTW I know you like banjo (thats cool) but incase you are having any trouble pipsy is the best default character. Unlockable goes drumstick and T.T being best.

[CoffeeandTV]

Wow, very good. Keep working on this one!

[optimus$prime]

nice project!

yes i'm also tired of making hires textures for ssb and switching them back to original palette
but i can't help you with this game because i don't know it
on n64 i only like zelda,sbb,f-zero; the rest is too childish for me

[spork9]

umm whear do i get the rice beta that i need?

/edit nvm stupid question

Thanks for the tips, however, I'll be working on the first levels for now (and the main stage), but with a bit of luck some textures may be shared with other levels as well.

Now, I'm trying to remake the small fonts, at this moment, letters A-Q are done. Note that their shadows are missing for now, and some of them need to look a bit better (especially the A). I'll upload the fonts when I finish them.

Also, I figured that the water uses textures as well. I wanted to add some detail but realized that the water animation uses about 130 textures!! So I decided to make a script and batch-processed them, lol 129 textures in less than a minute!!! :) Too bad the game commonly applies these textures (stretched) over big surfaces and the details are more or less noticeable depending on where you are. :(

[spork9]

very nice, DO you think you could get the ballons that you pick up in a race while playing to go high res? grate work, If you need a beta for your textures just ask or pm or im etc.

I doubt it. I guess the game is just using sub images from the big texture. In such case, you can enable the option "Faster loading tiles" to force the plugin to use the big texture instead of sub-textures. In this way, you will get only 1 texture instead of 130.

Thanks Rice, although that didn't help. I tried with that option enabled but the plugin still dumps those small textures and loads the high resolution ones.

A little more work done on the first stages...

[jdsony]

Nice Work...the Rare games are all big projects. I looked into Banjo Kazooie a little bit but Rare uses so many textures in their games it's a little overwhelming. Good for you for taking the challenge.

Oh yeah fix those darn wheels...That's the one thing that really stood out as bad when I played the game for the first time on an emulator. The wheels are probably CI textures I'm guessing.

Thanks. Yes, these games use lots of textures. The good thing is that many of them are shared through the levels (at least for the first three and the main stage).

I know how you feel about BK, I also tried to make something with it but got "scared" after the plugin dumped more than 1000 textures (about 1900 files) only for the intro :(
Anyways, I think BK should look a lot better with new textures, although it would be a really big project. But for now, I stick with DKR and SSB.

About the wheels, I'll see what I can do with them. Nice to know I didn't find any CI textures in this game yet :)

[_pm_]

A little progress with snow textures. :)

NOTE #1: I upgraded the texture pack from my first message with all the textures I've remade so far. Hope you like them :)

NOTE #2: I remade the game title's textures, but for some reason they don't align properly and the title doesn't look very good. I'll see what I can do about it, sorry for the "glitch".

[ScottJC]

i must admit pm, but those all look fantastic, Diddy kong racing is one of my all time favourites.. good work! :D

[spork9]

Ya, it looks very very good. Nice to see the progress lvl riseing. Keep up the good work pm. :)

[_pm_]

Thx guys, I'll see if I can do some major improvements to DKR this week and make another update. :happy:

Very nice both of you

[_pm_]

Wow _pm_ your work is just great.
Thanks, although I'm not a pro on this. I just started remaking textures when Rice released the 6.1.0, so I'm still a newbie. I've also have to admit that I'm having fun retexturing these games in my spare time. As soon as I get more experience on this, I'll probably try to make better textures. That's the reason why I'm continuously upgrading the textures in SSB.
(Spanish) Che, no me había dado cuenta que vos también eras argentino. Ya somos una banda!! :P

"Start" text bright down!.
Great work! Keep it up! Please continue showing and/or uploading your progress! :)

[The True PYRO]

I don't know why I'm having problems with this game, but i can't get the textures loaded. I tried with Rice v6.1.1beta10 and Rice v6.1.0 just to make sure. Nothing loaded.

Can somebody help me out?

*EDIT*

Nevermind. I got them working.

[_pm_]

I wonder if this texture actually looks like wood :(

[_pm_]

I've finally fixed the texture alignments in the game title, and I also made it a bit more bright.
Anyways, it still needs some work.

[adventureFAN]

Wow, cool Title :D

[Propa McGanda]

Looking real good! Nice and clear text. :)

[[ROLO]]

Is this project dead? cuz I think you were doing great

[Federelli]

Indeed, it was a promising project, true to the original and worth continuing. :).

[Kerber2k]

Some new hud icons ive worked on. Check em out.

[MeRc3n4rY]

what happened to this project, please continue it, dont surrender :(

[[ROLO]]

Those icons look great kerb. Please someone continue this project :(

[adventureFAN]

=] yeah, please continue this great project

[Glenbo]

dont let it die guys!

[Entreri]

I continue working in this project!!!. To be continued... ;)

[mini_mike86]

continue with this project!!!

kerber can u send me those icons................... please...............

[Engeljaeger]

Yeah, please continue it...I love this game...way better than Mario Kart, if you ask me...

[bigank]

those are nice icons there... keep up the gud work

[Impreza WRX]

I would sure love to see DKR be one of the first to have a completed texture pack. That and Super Smash Brothers!

[Strife Meister]

Free bump. :)

I must say, these screenshots look brilliant. Diddy Kong Racing is a classic and this project really does justice to it. Keep up, keep it up!

[EmuFan]

I would sure love to see DKR be one of the first to have a completed texture pack. That and Super Smash Brothers!
None of them will go first, because zelda is finished, hence, first:P

[Strife Meister]

Pardon me if this has already been answered, but I reckon this is the best place to ask... when I play DKR on Adventure 2, the tracks are supposed to be mirrored, but they're not. In addition, since the game thinks it's mirrored when it really isn't, the controls for left and right steering are reversed. Would anyone happen to know how to fix it so that the tracks appear as they should?

I'm currently using Project64 with the latest Rice Video plugin. Is there a specific video plugin I need to prevent this problem from occuring?

[Dr. Soong]

can someone upload a mirror of the textures Entreri posted. his site is down :(

[myuu]

I've tried today a little with the texture dumping / editing (first time)..
Because I don't like the childish original conker of RARE, I changed his eyes into this of Bad Fur Day (eyebrown was taken directly from BFD).
It's not perfect and I didn't make the whole eye animation, but maybe you like it as me :bouncy:

btw: There's no way to change the sounds also, is it?

[pedrocasilva]

btw: There's no way to change the sounds also, is it?no, there's currently no way to do that, so don't count on it.

[tailslol]

hi i realy like your texture pack but its bad to always change the plugin... please can you create a full png version with all updates in your first post and maintain it updated? please it will be so cool and you ll can use it in all retextures plugs!

[darknior]

Yes, please, continue the project of this fabulous game :D
You make great work ...

[Jerrod_Vick]

Hey _pm_'s can you convert Donkey Kong from Mario Kart to Diddy Kong Racing for me because i would like to see donkey kong in diddy kong racing can you please make it for me

[Daewa]

Hi ! I'm still a beginner and working on retexturing characters. I made Krunch first because it was the most interesting to do. See the images below and tell me what do you think of it.

Also, now I'm working on Banjo and Tiptup. I'm trying to make something original but the result is not really what I expected. Anyway, watch and tell me your opinion.

Remember, it's WIP stuff:

(I hope this topic isn't dead :unsure: )

[Jerrod_Vick]

I think that Krunch was awsome he look better in 2 picture than he did in 1st picture you know your a greatest texturer i ever seen Daewa cool maybe you could teach me how do that stuff

[Daewa]

I'm not so great, anyone can use photoshop, just as you can. Get Photoshop and if you don't know how to draw something, search for tutorials on the web :) That what I did.

[sytaylor]

Yeah the flat shaded stuff like text or simple characters is just a matter of cleaning up the pixelation in the smaller textures. Haven't looked into how to reapply to the textures back to the game yet but I'm sure its not that difficult.

[darknior]

Hi everybody :D

Nobody continue this PACKAGE ?
Because the project is realy advenced and beautifull ;)

Bye

[dartdude6]

Wow, this looks great! I think I might have to check it out...
