TSR music

Years ago I started a mod, but I abandoned it, because I started to make a game engine for 8088-86/286 https://github.com/mills32/Little-Game-Engine-for-VGA . It was fun to do it, and it works at around 60-70 fps on 8086-8, but that engine has a lot of bugs, and it is very simple, also I could not m...

So this is more like playing a game of pool yes? Looking from above? That's going to be interesting to try and do. I have a basic ball setup for gravity and will have to try and adapt it.
Yes, It can be used for pool, or minigolf, or a "marble madness" clone.

Re: swimming mods

Yes, it will bounce up. As gravity should be disabled, kenn won't "sit" on the ground. And if it is touching a ground or a wall, it will bounce at certain speed. Something "simple" to start would be this: - You "hit" the ball, (pressing up/down/left/right) then kenn-bal...

The game would not be "keen" anymore, so it would be just a ball all the time.

Changing the C source would be simpler I think.

Re: Keen:Galaxy Source Modding Package

Based on NY00123's Keen Dream's Tech Demo . I'm releasing a minimal modding package that allows anyone to create his or her own Keen:Galaxy mod from C source code. This package is essentially the Atroxian Realm development folder with most of the game content removed plus a couple of features added...

Re: swimming mods

So how exactly would this work?... A little more detail on what you want to achieve might be useful. So, I don't know if the game can be modded like that, but here it goes: 1- The player spawns like a ball (that's easy) with no movement at all. 2- A pointer spawns near the player-ball. Left-right w...

swimming mods

Hi, I wanted to make a mod using the swimming behavieur of keen for a puzzle game in which the player would be a ball.
The ball has to:
-Bounce at certain tiles.
-Experience forces at certain tiles like slopes from top view, (Up, Down, Right, Left).

Thanks.

Re: "Luna", a Keen4 Mod in progress

I changed the keen sprites size, but i forgot to resize the frame in which keen in facing the wall while activating switches, and that caused the engine to go a bit crazy.. :) now the switches work as espected.

Re: "Luna", a Keen4 Mod in progress

Sorry for the stupid question, but... How do you activate switches in the game?.
I want to make cistom doors and use gems and things like that, but even in the original levels, I can't open any door nor use any switches :(.

Re: TSRMusic requirements 286?

I always thought Keen required 286 minimum. Surprising to see it running on 8086 specs. Does tsrmus give you any kind of error when you try to run it? I wonder if there's anything around for modifying Paragon. It was a Gamer's Edge/Softdisk game made using the same tools as Keen. At least level edi...

Re: TSRMusic requirements 286?

I don't know anything about hardware, but does your emulator emulate soundcard hardware that can play the .mid music? I don't know if TSRMusic needs more speed or memory than the platform offers, or if its code uses some instructions not supported by the 286 processor. I know my reply is quite usel...
