Keen: Modding

Posted: **Thu Mar 11, 2010 10:29 am**

This patch makes your levels automatically scroll rightwards in the x direction, until they can scroll no more. Keen is pushed along if he comes in contact with the left screen edge. He is killed if trapped in between the edge and a tile with a blocking left edge. The default scrolling speed is around 1/2 of keen's walk speed. If you wish to change that, modify the last three patches.

seems like an awesome thing to build around.

Is it possible to only use it in some levels?

No. Also, a related version which adds a breeze to keen's movement.

You're a machine, lemm. Damn, this is too cool not to be used, I have to do something with this.

You're a machine, lemm.

WHO TOLD YOU- Oh. You were kidding. Right. :p

Can we have no scrolling, but still the wrap-around level effect?

Posted: **Sat Apr 24, 2010 9:38 pm**

probably...

Posted: **Wed Jun 16, 2010 11:29 pm**

I'm been trying to simulate a believable wraparound effect for a long time with teleporters.

This patch--- Levellord helped me turn some elevators into a group of enemies that would chase keen through a level similarly to this. It was a very messy business, and created a number of problems, but I loved the effect.

Oh wow... I will be certainly utilizing this patch in my next mod project.

Has anyone made a mod with this patch yet?
