This patch alters the 'complete level' code so that Keen will not return to the map but instead moves to the next level A side effect of this is that Keen can complete level 0 and go to level 1. (No map.) Levels are not marked as done, but this has no effect in the default game.
In short, Biomenace type rules.
Keen WILL go to the map however if he rescues a Council Member.
is it possible to enable this patch only once, so Keen will not return to the map but instead moves to the next defined level? meaning that all levels can be entered by the map but one only via a other level. like a hidden level which can only be entered through another one.
There is an interesting patch that accomplishes that for Keen 5. (I'm not sure which episode you're interested in, but that at least shows it's possible.)

hey there,
thanx for the reply.
that is exactly what I am looking for. but I forgot to mention that I do need a solution for Keen 4. K5 has obviously this connecting thing...
is there a solution for the other two galaxy games?
If we eliminate the 'demo mode' option we can set things up so a single level or several levels (Say between 1-5) always end with Keen being sent to the next level. This patch works for level 2 only:
I see! overwriting the demo mode code is a clever step. but it has to be level two? does the demo mode allow to change the triggering level? (... just for being more flexible...)

Where it says "$02 $74", you can change the $02 to set the level that will cause Keen to move to the next one. For example, $05 is level 5 and $0A is level 10. The $74 is a jump condition.
thanx fleex for the advice! I was assuming something like this too, but haven't got the chance to test things yet.
EDIT: ok playtested it. works with different levels as long as you are leaving offscreen. BUT ending a level via an oracle member won't take effect and brings you directly back to the map. that's ok with me, but I just wanted to mention it.
