Keen: Modding

I've started to get down and dirty with patching the Berkaloid when lo and behold there isnt any page about patching the berkaloid in the patching wiki on shikadi.net. i only have a tiny bit of berk patching from these forums. do you (or anyone else?) have any other berk patch code at hand? Also, ha...

ah ok, its alright. i was just wondering is all.

just for convo's sake- maybe one way would be to somehow marry up the council message code with the lindsey code?

How does a fella like me make a purdy girl like Lindsey appear more than twice? like how the title of the thread says :p

thanks guys. really appreciate everyone's help.

Aside from this, there is not much you can do

ah okay then. thanks levellass.

PS is this 'effect' actually some sort of error? i had that feeling about it, partially cause the original keen games never used it (i dont think). also would you know if it takes more memory using it, by any chance?

aww you made this thread because of my one didnt you ;)

hey btw i found out the problem was an unending animation loop on a tile :p so its all taken care of and we can all sleep easily again. but i dont get why it didnt throw up the 'undending foreground animation' error message in dos like it usually does.

You guys know what im referring to, right? that whole thing about making certain parts of a tile's mask white while giving it colour in its pic, thus creating a 'tint' in the game. well i was just wondering if there was any way to change how certain colours interact with certain background colours. ...

This is why it is important to regularly test your levels, not just complete the whole thing then test it. It helps in pinpointing bugs. yeah thats what i do :p it was pretty much done but then in the end i added some new graphics and things and then it just didnt work. then i took those new graphi...

So I've been tinkering around with this one level that just doesnt load. it used to, though. when i get into the level now, its just black but I can hear the music, and i can't do anything. now i know its usually memory problems. i've had this error before with levels and i had to cut back on tiles ...

hey that works nicely, but... im pretty sure i had a working TOM in the past some time :/ i must've downloaded a few versions of it. ill play around with this one and see what i can do with it (opened it up for a few moments, clicked around, and got nervous that the infoplane layer looks weird and i...

oh jeez- Okay i think i just found out i was using editmaps.ck4! a third god damn one. its 177kb so i think this should be it ;) and i do have a custmaps and a gamemaps but they're both 97kb. sorry about all this :/ but anyways, i hope to god this one is good: https://www.dropbox.com/s/rkqc47hdxb5k9...

Once you figure it out, yes. But you have to explore first and discover that fact. If you force the player to play levels out of necessity rather than curiosity you risk the game becoming less exploratory and more of a grind. yeah, but its still dodgey imo- i mean, 3 levels :/ maybe have half the l...

imo i think the dumbest thng about this keen is that you only have to play 3 levels to finish the whole game.

ohhhh interesting. very nice detective work there! well i didnt have a problem opening the levels up in TOM, its just it doesnt load any graphics :/ i tried it again just now and it still doesnt work right. do i have to press some hotkey or something to display graphics? ugh. but anyhoo, heres my zi...

As a bonus incentive, TOM has a Keen:Next mode (found in the settings menu) that you might like. Yeah I know about it, and I actually tried it out today- so i did a few changes in TOM, saved the level, and then when i try to open it up back in keen:next it gives me an error :/ so either i can't tak...
