Changing level names in Keen4
I know I asked Xky the other night, but I accidentally closed that window and lost all the information he'd given me. On top of that, I only had a starting point, when what an idiot like me needs is a list of patches for each individual level name. Looking around, I can't seem to find them anywhere. Any help would be appreciated!
Here's the status-window titles. Note that $0A is a carridge return.
Code: Select all
%patch $1F040 "Shadowlands"
%patch $1F050 "Border Village"
%patch $1F060 "Slug Village"
%patch $1F070 "The Perilous Pit"
%patch $1F090 "Cave of the Descendents"
%patch $1F0B0 "Chasm of Chills"
%patch $1F0C0 "Crystalus"
%patch $1F0D0 "Hillville"
%patch $1F0E0 "Sand Yego"
%patch $1F0F0 "Miraia"
%patch $1F100 "Lifewater Oasis"
%patch $1F110 "Pyramid of the Moons"
%patch $1F130 "Pyramid of Shadows"
%patch $1F150 "Pyramid of the" $0A "Gnosticene Ancients"
%patch $1F180 "Pyramid of the Forbidden"
%patch $1F1A0 "Isle of Tar"
%patch $1F1B0 "Isle of Fire"
%patch $1F1C0 "Well of Wishes"
%patch $1F1D0 "Bean-with-Bacon" $0A "Megarocket"

EDIT: Also, where's the text for "Exit to Shadowlands" as displayed on the "you're dead, what now" screen?
Whoops! Sorry about that--I fixed the 2nd post, to have Border and Slug Villages corrected. Here's your "You're dead!" screen info:
Really, though, this stuff is packed tight--I don't think you have -any- wiggle room here, as far as letters go. The "Exit to Shadowlands" statement is 19 characters long, including spaces; whatever you replace it with needs to be 19 characters or less, or you'll hit trouble. Good luck!
Code: Select all
%patch $2F16F "You didn't make it past"
%patch $2F187 "Try Again"
%patch $2F191 "Exit to Shadowlands"
If needs must, I'm pretty sure I can find the reference for the 'Didn't make it past...' so you can use longer text strings.
The patch index has all level entry text added; Xky, you forgot to mention how much blank space is at the end of the level anmes/entry text, it's quite a lot!

Actually patching this in..
Could I put this anywhere in my keenxe.pat file? I don't have much experience in patching, and I wonder if syntax would count there..
And we now have a simple utility for changing level names, it even writes a patchfile!
