Keen: Modding

Hmm... it's a neat idea. I don't think ckXpatch is a TSR --- once it has done it's job, it's done and terminates. Not completely sure, or course, but I believe that's correct. My concern is that such a program (aside from hogging memory) could severely impact performance. ScreenThief (which, AFAIK, ...

Read carefully.

1) No, but when you kill a vorticon, it will (after going through the death frames) turn into a live garg. So the order is vorticon-dying vorticon-garg

2) Again, no, but see above.

2.) I agree with Xky, though the two are easy to mix up. Foobs are the little yellow fluffballs; meeps are the green singing dudes.

I think he wants Keen to lose a life but not die.

My first response was hasty and unclear. What I meant was an index for the index. Like the index to an encyclopedia. Or a book. Or a dictionary...

Oh. Right. Carry on, then.[/i]

Make an index.

That's, um, not a patch. It's a plain(er)-english transcription of the actual assembly. You might call it LLbasic. Is it possible to make a 16-bit DOS application call a DLL? I admit to never having tried (wow, imagine that =P), but it would be an intriguing possibility for monster patches. What we ...

Try putting "Keen says" back in; I recall something about it being neccesary. Whatever. Another problem occurs if you make you story far too long. At some point, scrolling down a too-long story, the graphics get completely screwed up. It's amusing to look at---once. And run your posts thro...

Mod wars? What?

=P

*makes an attmept to forcibly wrench thread back on topic* I can't help you with CTspace killing, but I do have some comments on entering cheats. For god mode, the order in which you enter the letters has no effect. (It might if you serously reassigned the keys; needs more testing!) It could indeed ...

You can get away with some touches of long hall syndrome if you only have to do them once, and you fill them with points. So, for instance, instead of ------------------------------ 0 |_____________________________ you have ------------------------------ pp pp pp pp 0 p p p p p p p p p |____________...

That would be nice, but unfortunately probably not possible.

I must agree though, the default grey and blue are kind of ugly. phpBB has a bunch of alternates on their website, but I don't have the bandwidth to look at them now.

right now my Keen sprite still needs to fix his climb-up-over-the-edge animation when he's facing right

Whoah... you need to teach me how to get my sprites how to fix themselves. I always have to do fixes for them!

=P

As another question, what happens when you use the teleporter patch with the "item-to-tport" patch, what happens? Does it work like a regular (single-use) teleporter, or does it just lock up?

All of my teleporter troubles came from teleporting the player too close to the edge of the level. (If your level worked before, this probably isn't the problem, but I'd check anyway.) When you teleport to a point where the edge of the level is visible, instead of ending up near the edge of the leve...
