Keen: Modding

I'm not sure if this is well known or not. This relates to the change animation frame-rate patch (%patch $7CDE $05) for Keen1. I've observed that if I have, for example, a lower in-level frame rate, then when I game-over and go to the high-scores, the animation on the ship parts in the high scores r...

I've been thinking about the Tantalus Switches and how cool both the screen "shake" and the earth Explosion are. I have read the Keenwiki patching pages on these and the basics certainly have beem covered. To be clear the following are not patch demands/requests nor are they particularly r...

I recall memory being a big issue with extra levels in mods in the early days. At the time I used Windows 98 (much as I love it, it's not original hardware!!). Also windows ME before I deliberately downgraded. My situation improved a lot when I figured out how to create dedicated boot disks using tr...

Thanks for quick response! At the expense of the element of susprise, I shall reveal that the patch is thus: https://keenwiki.shikadi.net/wiki/Patch:Keen%27s_shot_(Vorticons)#Keen.27s_shot_falls_under_gravity To me it seems like the type of one that should at least work "out of the box" th...

Hi guys, trying to use a patch I found on Keenwiki for Keen1. The patch contains brackets (both square ones and curly brackets). I've not come up against these in patches before. Ck1patch rejects these brackets as invalid numerical formats. But then, deleting the brackets make the game crash - it lo...

Much improved!

Dude it's the "request" forum, not the "demand" forum. Please learn to say "please" when you are looking for help with your mods, Szemi.

This may already be common knowledge for many, but when I began using KeenFx I had no grasp of how the numbers relate to musical notes. I have since obtained this information and have added a mini-tutorial to the KeenWiki article on KeenFx. Please refer to this for some potentially useful guidance o...

If you go back to my site on the above link you'll find the updated version of my mod, with altered levels featuring nerfed difficulty, in response to feedback received on PCKF. Go ahead and take a look!

This section is looking a little lonely of late. So... have a Keen1 mod. Thanks as always to the people who have put in so much work on patches and modding software over the years, I hope some of you guys who might not go on PCKF so much take a look at - and enjoy - this mod I've made. I gotta say K...

As promised I have played this. Extremely cool and novel mechanic. A few little glitches, the most bothersome being that the crosshairs are not consistently displayed resulting in difficulty navigating successfully. But thanks for making the stuff of imagination a reality once again. Now. Please mak...

Working 7 consecutive nights right now but as soon as comfortably sat in front of PC will check this out! Happy Belated Keen Day (and early St Patrick's Day). On a more sombre note, I hope you are okay in the wake of the terrible attack that has taken place in your country, unprecedented in severity...

Very amusing! Finally keen modding has been put on the map.

Disquietingly, fax is still a core means of communication both within and between hospitals in the British Isles, especially Ireland. If we get hacked, I'm blaming Levellass!

I played Keen1 first on an 8086 machine and years later ported Keen4 over to said machine via the 'Laplink' software from an early 21st century computer and it played perfectly (sans Adlib sounds), albeit taking a considerable time to initiate. That said, that fleeting "Please Wait" image ...
