Keen: Modding

SO: If it hits an enemy is destroys the enemy and vanishes...
BUT: If it hits ground or whatever it falls to the floor and can be picked up again?

Been meaning to post this. Something I made for a soon to be released project. With this patch tiles of the type 'Switch for moving platforms -off' will produce a text window when Keen stands in front of them and presses the up arrow. (To keep Platform switches working just change both to the 'on' t...

That's very good. I am thinking of making a program to get sprite patches from BM like we can from Keen.

The gem patch is a very tricky one and will take a long time to see if it's possible. But I am getting all sorts of other patches found while I do it.

Aaah, so AFTER you change the bridge type using my file it still acts like a gem?

What do you mean by 'everything is still the same'?

Does the file change how Galactile shows the tiles? Or is nothing happening in the game? If you're just using the gem patch then Keen should be able to collect bridge tiles. I can even make a video of this happening in my setup.

Don't far calls need a RW address for their second word rather than a plain W?

This should do it: https://www.dropbox.com/s/20inr3pkhcrua ... o.ini?dl=0

Make sure not to use it on any other Keen projects.

This is the tile gem patch, it will be separate from the extra 4 gem types IF I can get that working. #Convert four tile types into tile based gems %patch $C35D $18E3W #Sprite arrow path %patch $C35F $18E3W #Bridge tile %patch $C361 $18E3W #Active zapper %patch $C363 $18E3W #Teleport entrance #Chang...

Alright, this took a lot of work, but it rearranges things pretty nicely. This is the new order of all the stuff: You'll notice you have two spare spaces on the Ultimate difficulty you can put things in. (Just copy the value from the Easy icon.) It also frees up some space for later which might be u...

It has been very busy, yes. I am trying to get some done before, but everyone wants everything done here right now and there is just NO free time.

I am not sure this is possible, but I will give it a try. I have been doing a lot of research and working on the Keen wiki to try and deal with these Keen 5 and 6 patches.

How much effort have you put into making levels and placing enemies? If it is not much then the easiest thing will be to rearrange all the enemy spawn tiles. If you already have a lot of levels built then things will be a bit trickier to fit in.

This patch makes the shot become a shot item when it smashes into stuff. (Including enemies.) #Keen's shot is an item when it lands %patch $D922 $55 $8B $EC $56 $57 $8B $7E $06 $8B $76 $08 $C7 $05 $0005W $C7 $45 $3E $000BW $C7 $45 $10 $FFFFW $B8 $0019W $50 $9A $183B09F1RL $44 $44 $B8 $15B6W $50 $57 ...

As a start here's the simplest patch, making the shot move like a football.You'll want to adjust the speeds until it moves the way you want: #Keen shoots in an arc not a line: #Set up shot to have h and v speeds %patch $D838 $C7 $47 $0E $0001W %patch $D841 $C7 $47 $10 $0001W #Shot speeds #Up %patch ...
