Re: Skypest and Blue Bird patch request

Thanks a lot! I didn't notice that line on shikadi.net. Now I only need the patch for Blue Bird.

Any help would be appreciated!

Re: How to change dimensions of an enemy?

ok, the hitboxes (ingame) of the Wormouth look something like this: https://s19.postimg.org/h51ybu403/ck4patch_000.jpg depending on which sprite you have replaced, you want to make sure, to change the Y-coordinate of the second set of brackets (in your 4sprites.txt file). this value determines how ...

Skypest and Blue Bird patch request

If possible, I would like to:
  • make Skypest killable by shooting.
I already made it that can't land, so in this way Keen can defeat it only with neural stunner and no more with pogo.
  • make Blue Bird that require more than one shot to be stunned, maybe five or more.
Can somebody help me?

Re: How to change dimensions of an enemy?

OK, this thing is just funny: I took a copy of sprite 4SPR0316 (the Underwater Mine in Keen 4) http://i66.tinypic.com/mukdnt.jpg and I put it in BMP folder with the bitmap name 4SPR0333 (the "small" Wormouth), http://i64.tinypic.com/2lbid0z.jpg in order to replace the sprite of the Wormout...

How to change dimensions of an enemy?

Let me clarify: I want to modify the image 4SPR0333 of my Keen 4 mod (the "smaller" version of the Wormouth, when it walks hiding itself) with a replacement that have bigger dimensions than the original sprite.

How can I do that?

How to modify graphics in your own mod?

As the title says: I started to edit some enemy with MS Paint, but this is often a very hard, stressful and disappointing thing to do, especially if you are a bad designer like me. Now I wonder: is there any other way to edit graphics in order to create your own personalized mod? Can you create new ...

Re: ERROR: Unable to open .\EGAHEAD.4: Secret of the Oracle for writing!

You can delete that small EGAHEAD.CK4; it was just to test that the folder can be written to. It's possible the space in that path might be causing issues, though I can't reproduce such behavior. Maybe try renaming that outer folder to something 8 characters or less and with no spaces involved? I d...

Welcome to Keen Modding! Just so we're on the same page, I'm testing this in DOSBox with ModKeen 2.0.1 . I'm using this command to import: modkeen -import -episode=4 -bmpdir=BMP I get this error when EGAHEAD.CK4 is marked read-only. Could you please check that file's properties? Also try restarting...
