Keen: Modding

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 ...

And likewise we are only joking about your level difficulty. I am enjoying the deliberate playability and pleasantness of these new levels! Just as I always thoroughly enjoyed even the most irkesome material in mods such as the infamous Smile.

The OK blocks remind me a bit of some of the (many) really crappy looking details from my own mods, and I can understand to some extent how they end up in the game. They probably drew that tile relatively early in the production of the game, and probably got used to its presence to they point that t...

Very interesting idea for a modding projects to be sure!! What I'm wondering is, have you or anyone else got any ideas how to graphically present such gameplay in the 2D setting? I think that is a difficult challenge to pull off. The obvious is some kind of "plasma" animated tile that woul...

Hi Kohntarkosz, good to see you still knocking around these parts, as "The Search for the Sentinel" was one of my very favourites from the early modding era. Unfortunately there is no way I would have the time to collaborate with you but I applaud your continued involvement with Keen moddi...

If it doesn't, I might have to make another one myself

*a whole community groans in unison*

A young Benvolio, before learning a little bit of self-restraint, had 120x120 as his preferred level dimensions and never had problems at this size. I think 200 was the widest I ever used to make my levels but it's been a while. I also was probably limited by what Andy's KeenWright could tolerate.

Thank you, Quinton. There are a few big posters such as Stealthy71088 and Xky who have posted far more extensively in K:M. Most of those presominantly K:M users are people like Xky and Xtraverse and of course Levellord, whose involvement with the community has become very slight over the course of t...

I don't know the names of the levels of Keen3 well enough to comment on which ones should be required but I definitely think that even having ten mandatory levels would make it a very lightweight game compared to the rest of the Keen franchise let alone most significant games of the past two and a h...

What about switching the in-level sprite with the map sprite following some trigger (picking up an item, flipping a switch, death etc)... you could then further patch the mechanics of one or both of those sprites, making for some interesting phenomena. But I guess a level has to be determined map or...

Hi flectfloss. You are very welcome indeed to our forum! Now, regarding your query, it is better suited to the Keen:Galaxy section, as Keen6 falls under Galaxy for the purposes of modding the engine!

The above is very intriguing indeed! I do hope your mod comes to fruition, Grandy02. And as always Levellass, your work is much appreciated by all here at K:M/PCKF. It would be interesting to know if there have ever been any efforts to 'smooth out' the Vorticons Teleporting so that rather than an ab...

I bet someone just wanted to be sure of avoiding Star Wars spoilers :P

Seriously, though, what's with the outage?? This is surely the longest interruption of pckf functionality in its history. Anyone have any idea what the issue is??

Has this been done for Vorticons?? Rofl :P

I have a file called ckpatch051.zip. I hope it is the version you sought...
