We've all been there, hard level; lots of save and reload... and each time you're asked 'Hey, you're in a game, you SURE you wanna load one?' Well no more! These patches for Keen Galaxy let you skip that annoyance, making things just a little easier.
Code: Select all
#Don't ask before loading game during gameplay -Keen 4
%patch $1AFDA $EB $36
#Don't ask before loading game during gameplay -Keen 5
%patch $1BF78 $EB $36
#Don't ask before loading game during gameplay -Keen 6
%patch $1AC4A $EB $36

that's neat!
i was thinking. is it possible to add a piece of code that allows to press whatever key (except ESC) to confirm the dialog ?

So, keep the functionality (You are in...) but change it so anything accepts instead of just 'Y'?
Original:
Code: Select all
#What key confirms game load -Keen 4
%patch $1AF68 $15
#What key confirms game load -Keen 5
%patch $1BF06 $15
#What key confirms game load -Keen 6
%patch $1ABD8 $15
Esc is only exception:
Code: Select all
#Any key but esc confirms game load -Keen 4
%patch $1AF68 $01 $74
#Any key but esc confirms game load -Keen 5
%patch $1BF06 $01 $74
#Any key but esc confirms game load -Keen 6
%patch $1ABD8 $01 $74

perfect! the second patch is dope.
next thing would be to save without moving back to the menu. that would speed up things, don't you think?!

Yes, the problem there being that I don't yet have a way to select the game slot to save.

Maybe save slot one is blocked for quick savings only. If you want to use other slots, you still have to use the good old menu routine. How sounds that?

It's a great idea, or a system like the checkpoints in Atroxian, but I don't know how to implement it.
