HELP! CAN'T EXPORT GRAPHICS OR ANY BMP FILES IN COMMANDER KEEN6
Posted: Tue Apr 18, 2017 3:46 am
Hey there Keeners, please help!
I can't export any graphics from the game to draw new sprites for commander keen6.
I am using a 64 bit version of Windows 10.
Referring to Ceilicks modding tutorial, I have to drop modkeen.exe onto DOSbox.exe (my version is called: 0.74).
And then I have to type:
modkeen -episode=6 -export -bmpdir="BMP"
(All of the data is in the same Folder: modkeen, Keen6c, one folder that is called BMP, and CWSDPMI.)
I have decompressed Keen6c with unlzexe to Keen6.exenew and deleted the "new" so there shouldn't be any problems.
Anyhow, Dosbox says "Can't open .\Keen6.EXE for reading!"
I also tried Keengraph although I don't know that much on how I should use it.
I simply opened it and typed:
-export -episode=6 -bmpdir='BMP'
then, it closed, I looked into the BMP folder and nothing happened.
I love your mods, and I honor your creativity. I'd be relieved if there is any way to export that godamn graphics from Commander keen6.
When nothing helps, do you know if there is a certain kind of work around? Like, for example, downloading the png pictures from the keenWiki page, draw them, and then get it into Abiathar...? Just another thought. I become desperate with trying to customize the sprites for commander keen6...
Please help.
