Ah, nice to see you again. Just today I was wondering what happened to you and thought that it would be nice to hear about progress of your mod. :) Now that my cover is blown, perhaps I shall make some progress. I've been caught up in other things, sadly, but soon I'll be back at school where (iron...

Highly intriguing... I especially like what you've done with the backgrounds! The sprites are all crisp and Keen-ish, particularly the switch and the sugar bag... Know this: Your screens were enough to draw me out of my hidey-hole and post for the first time in a while! Because I am, unfortunately, ...

I've got it set up with the BAT, and I've been patching things! :D The computer that I work on is offline temporarily, so by the time it's back on (a few weeks) the mod should be close to completion (but once I have screens ready, I'll transfer them with a portable ZIP drive or something). Patching ...

I don't think this is possible...

Is there any way to have the game keep track of how many enemies you kill? It isn't necessary, just something I thought might be a nice way to give the game a different feeling. I'm thinking about playing off that feeling you get when after Keen 3 they reference that you killed a lot of the Vorticon...

Thanks guys! Also, how can I get a title screen that takes up the full screen? So far it appears centered (but takes up the bottom and right portions of the screen), and then the moving parts (aka vines) show up through it and it sends me straight to the menu without pushing anything. I realize that...

Is there any way to make the foreground tiles half-foreground and half-background (or transparent)? It isn't vital if there isn't a way.

A few good things have come out of this new knowledge: I figured out how to edit the in-game text and menus (mainly because Xky is a lifesaver), and in doing so I completely changed the story to what my story is. i also edited the titles in the main menu and the stuff it says on the status screen, a...

Yeah, it really is an excellent picture! So I suppose then if you checkerboard, you can use far more than 16 colors... yes... hmm... :D

I just got a WICKED idea. Here it is: Have sections of the world map in the colors of the keycards. In each color, the levels begin with Keen next to a locked door (to be opened with a card of the color of the map) and a hole with enough points for an extra life (in case the player entered a level b...

I noticed that, too. I saw those two tiles, went in and had a gunfight with a robot, and started thinking of campy Batman sound effects to replace them with (like "shoot" or "ouch").

Is there such a patch? Cos that would be pretty cool...

How many colors can be used for the screen? I see a dark shade of yellow that I don't have... it may be that it's not in Keen1, but I'm pretty sure that when I use my easel tool (which I made by drawing out each color) I've got all 16 colors for the EGA format.

::is baffled:: Well, first of all, there's not much point to patching if people aren't going to use it (hint hint)... when you go to play XkyKeen1, you need to be sure to run XkyKeen1.bat, NOT Keen1.exe. By just running Keen1.exe, you're missing out on all the detailed story that I put into MY mod! ...

All I know is that I really want to have as deep a story as possible (not just the story from the menu). What I'm thinking is, even though you really only have to beat four levels (presumably those with the items , not necessarily the levels that block your progress), then I can add my modification ...

Let's see if this works...

Super awesome! This is the file 1SPR0020 for Keen 1, for a comparison. :D

Edit: I couldn't help it. I'm so proud of my Yeti! Take that, Gargs! :D
