Dear CKPatch Development Team,
as first big thanks to Fleexy, levelass, Tulip and Draik for your comments, help and ideas to solve my CKPatch problem.
To clear up some questions I'll try to answer them:
"Why did you add all those file patches?" posted by Tulip
As you've read in my above post I want to use the CK1Patch for the use of the mod "Commander Keen: Episode X" - so I add all those file patches, cause the mod need all those files to view the changed content. The file name were still the old names as original given in the "Commander Keen: Episode X" mod archive - so only the folder and the content of each file is different. To use this mod full with CK1PATCH you need to tell CK1PATCH which files you need for your mod.
"What's up with that running command?" posted by Tulip
As Draik alread explained I want to use the CK1Patch running command - you only need to explain CK1Patch the folder and it simply search for the corresponding PATCH.PAT file inside this folder and makes the folder to the base directory of the mod.
"Instead of using a subdirectory, simply changing the first letter of each filename to X and updating the patch appropriately would work better." posted by Draik
Can you explain this process a little bit closer. I don't understood what you mean by "updating the patch appropriately".
"First, try THIS command: D:\DOSBOX~1\DATA\KEEN1\MODS\KEEN_X\CK1PATCH.EXE [whateveryourpatfileiscalled].pat" posted by Fleexy
I have the problem that my CK1PATCH executable is located in the KEEN1 directory. So the CK1PATCH uses the KEEN1.EXE from this folder. After I UNLZEXE the KEEN1.EXE and copy the CK1PATCH.EXE and the KEEN1.EXE into the KEEN_X folder a message appear: "missing text file".
So thanks again four your help and big thanks to Fleexy for checking my code.
DosBoxPortable archive
To give more support I've uploaded my DosBoxPortable archive - which includes all the files (KEEN1, KEEN_X mod, PATCH.PAT, CK1PATCH, UNLZEXE, running command) I use.
Perhaps with my archive and the files included you can fix the problem a little better. All the Keen files are located inside the DATA directory. You can simply run both _start_*.bat files to run either KEEN1 or KEEN_X mod.
The folder tree is the same as already explained in my 5th post of this topic.
