Keen: Modding

Oooh that'd be excellent if you could do that. I think for now I'd just sacrifice DartUp2 & DartUp3 for Rock2 & Rock3.

I'll leave the messages until after the levels are done, Startext's readme confused the hell out of me :/ I feel like it assumed I had any knowledge of modding keen.

Oooh that's excellent for Bird1 and Arachnut2 but those are the only ones that are technically missing. The others were clearly never designed to be used for different difficulty levels. I'm mainly concerned with rocks and clouds.

To be honest, I've blatantly defied the "multiple enemies rule" quite a lot in my Keen4 levelpack so far. I find mixing enemies an invaluable way of creating new and interesting challenges. I only just read this after creating 6 levels but I haven't changed my mind.

So currently I'm using the Omegamatic and it's all going smoothly, except there's a few things I'd like to know... -How do I modify the level entry messages? So I don't have Keen reflecting upon Crysalus when he's actually storming the Frozen Fortress -Is there a way I can use numbered sprites (diff...

I don't plan to modify it too much, but there is one thing so far I'd like to do. How would I make it so that you have to finish the Chasm of Chills to get to Crystalus? I assume it'd be something like those fence/gate blockers for the first 2 levels. Ideally I'd have Crystalus fully surrounded by m...

I think I've discovered one of the reasons people don't bother making levels for Keen4. The enemies aren't interesting or versatile at all. (Disclaimer: I don't know the proper names for most enemies, bare with me) Slugs, Fire breathers: Too easy to deal with. Fire and forget. Mushrooms, Snakes, Kil...

Since I often hit errors when trying to test my levels, I thought I'd start a thread to update as they come. My first one is... Unresolved issues -When I try to enter the level, it quits to DosBox and gives me this error... "MM_ClearBlock: No purgable blocks!" -Sometimes Blocks don't work ...

OK can someone please give me a step-by-step, exactly-what-to-write in dosbox way of getting into Modkeen and editing tiles/sprites for Keen 1, 2 & 3?
