Keen: Modding

Despite all the criticisms and tweaks, I hope you realize that we're all quite impressed with it, Xky. If you had spent 10 minutes on it, we probably wouldn't be giving it nearly as much nitpicking. To mention the things I like, my two favorite parts are the shading under the helmet on Keen's eyes ...

episodes 3 to 5! :P

By using ModKeen2. It will convert everything - tiles, sprites, fonts. EVERYTHING.

I'm using TED5 in XP with DosBox... the carmacizing is almost as slow as it is on my old 75mhz 486 system, and the graphics are off-colour if you use the video mode that displays more of the level at a time(usually you press F9 when you enter TED5 to change to this mode), but apart from that, it wor...

If you use ModKeen2 to import new graphics into EGAGRAPH.ck4 (haven't tried with CK5 or CK6), then run Tedsetup, and use TED5, the graphics are really screwed up. it works fine if you use TedSetup before modkeen, however.

AFAIK, you cannot embed icons in a DOS program (example: Keen) or in a program that has already been compiled

If you have the right tools, you can in a program that has already been complied. You can't in a DOS program as far as I'm aware though.

Keen 3 is also similar, but without the optional extras

Keen 6 would still be the best though

on the subject of Spatang.com it's Xtraverse who owns it

Yes actually, the islands and lakes will work - but the islands will end up either not very good graphics, too big, or be identical to one of the original three islands... a perfect example of why we need CK 4-6 modkeen!

Lets see if anyone has good tricks... here's some i've found. You can use the gate tiles(like the ones that are blocking you from going through Border and Slug villages without beating them) without putting them on village levels. Simply place the tiles where you want the barrier, and then put a spr...

i think what would happen with in-water levels is that although they could be entered fine, keen would probably revert back to Walking Keen after beating the level or "Exiting To Shadowlands"

me's idea on that subject is that he wants to be as far away from the enemy as possible, to, as that previous guy said, perform a stealth attack

As for in Keen 1, don't forget he was just on a fun trip!

yes, i got what you mean, and yes, i do think it will work - i can't be sure, though

Okay, lemme see... 100 bonus points to Adurdin for each thing he's done(excluding non keen-related things) 10 bonus points to each helper for each thing they've done Points uneffected for people who don't help GAME OVER to anyone who tries to get in the way. lol as you guessed, i'm interested in thi...

possibly used? yes

definately used? no

So there's a chance, in fact, a very high chance, but i can't guarantee it will work.
