Well, the main problem you'll encounter is that new tiles will have no tile information for them, they'll all be do nothing, be nothing, et cetera. This part of the problem will be very difficult to solve as it would involve expanding the tileinfo space. Fortunately, most tiles in Keen are backgroun...

Hello, it's me again. I was just wondering whether it is possible for EModKeen to import more than the usual number of tiles into Keen? It seems that at present it simply uses the 'default' amount of bitmap, ignoring anything that comes after that, but it appears extra tiles can be inserted into Kee...

Righty, where to start? The first thing you will need to do is get yourself a disassembler; some program to look at all the hex numbers in a file. I use Xi32. With this you can open any file and see all its hex numbers and where they are. Next you'll need a dump of the Keen you want to edit. To do t...

You wish to trim a few bytes from a 1/3 megabyte file?

I expect to see Carmac compression sometime next year.

Real carmackization compresses by replaces sequences of words that have appeared previously in the file file by a reference to them: 'replacing' not 'replaces'; that can cause a bit of confusion there. I didn't notice the compression first time around; but you're right, it does do a little packing,...

Just asking here, is Ted5 supposed to produce custmaps files? Mine outputs GAMEMAPS.CK4 files every time, and all I have in my GoX batch files is the line to run CKxPatch -nowait. EDIT: Ah, I see, 'fake' carmackization because it doesn't really carmackize anything, it leaves the maps uncompressed an...

Hey! I was working on that just yesterday! (It'd be easier if I had some sort of sound editing tool, I may give up on custom sounds.)

XkyKeen 4... hmmmmn? Well I *know* Xky's working on that, it certainly has spent some time in development, but all good things take a while.

So it's an artifact of older screens and we'll see it disappear over time?

I'm always looking for some technology and lab type tiles if anyone wants to help with those; I like CK Guy, love mapping but rather hate tiles; I always have too small of a focus, I see a 16x16 box, and never manage to make large and detailed themed tilesets. Yo may have seen my demo mod, ooog. Hmm...

Oh definitely, you should plow ahead with these; the levels you've done so far are an utter inspiration, seriously, they give me ideas in places I didn't know could think. Level construction is a rather simple project, at least in my limited experience, I say you should make this a priority if you'r...

Really? What program is this? We should make a collection of Keen cards, it would be very droll.
