Re: First Keen mod you played

My first mod I played was The Ruin of Roib. And lemme tell you - I HATED IT SO FRIKIN' MUCH! :D The whole idea of the mod was just so awkward to me, it didn't felt right at all. Everything broken, Keen as an awful adult. Don't get me wrong, the artwork is awesome, my perspective changed with the yea...

Re: The Armageddon Continues - An Ultra Omegamatic Sequel (Demo)

I just finished playing the game and sadly have to say - dude, slow down your horses! From the beginning I wasn't sure what to expect, but since I know development took only weeks it didn't look too good. I wasn't disappointed per se because - sorry to say - I wasn't expecting anything amazing... I ...

Re: Getting Keen 4-6 and Dreams mods running on real DOS PCs

Could you please explain where that number comes from? Without context, that number is absolutely meaningless to me. Maybe you were thinking about the 640k limit for conventional memory under DOS and somehow swapped the 4 and the 6 in that number? True, last few days I have quite noticeable problem...

Re: Getting Keen 4-6 and Dreams mods running on real DOS PCs

I've given many, many hours looking in DOS memory management system and from what I can say, M$ memory manager is pure garbage. There is no way you can allocate more than 460k of memory because of... Well, I am not really sure. I started fiddling with other, upper level modern memory managers like Q...

Re: Trouble running Keen 9 Battle Of The Brains

Well - I can't agree with that. If Keen didn't crash, then OK. But in this position no.

I need to find the beta version of Keen 9 just to have the cheats turned on so I can look at the memory stats.

Re: Trouble running Keen 9 Battle Of The Brains

I don't know why, but I have 615k free, but Keen never takes more then 347k of standard and 64kb of expanded making it 411kb total memory allocated. I never managed it to see Extended memory...

Re: Trouble running Keen 9 Battle Of The Brains

Well, I do not. All my machines even with QEMM97 have still troubles running Keen9 (it doesn't look like it, but Shikadus second and third level crash), Terror From Outer Space crashes on loading few last levels and Atroxian Realm crashes right after first level...

Re: Trouble running Keen 9 Battle Of The Brains

Well, quite a few actually. http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah276/krivulak/P_20180106_180646_zpsvt7xq5rt.jpg All of those runs with lesser or bigger problems. Keen Dreams Plus - OK Terror From Outter Space - Running out of memory - often no music in bigger levels or the level doesn't load at all...

Re: Trouble running Keen 9 Battle Of The Brains

Well, I am using two computers right now to run it and neither of them can. It crashes while loading Trogg village.

First is Pentium MMX running on 166MHz with S3 Trio 2MB, 192MB of RAM and Windows 95.
Second is Thintune eSeSIX VLVI01 with VIA Eden ESP3000, 64MB of RAM and DOS 6.22 with QEMM97.

Re: Trouble running Keen 9 Battle Of The Brains

Finally, I made some progress!
I managed to make enough memory to run Keen 9! QEMM was my tool of choice, it is awesome!
Well, it didn't make enough memory to run Terror From Outer Space, but that will change, I really hope so :)

Re: Trouble running Keen 9 Battle Of The Brains

Eh, this is not the problem I am having. My problem is based on really poor memory management in DOS.

Re: Trouble running Keen 9 Battle Of The Brains

Well, few years later I came little bit closer to the answer. What I found out is that really Keen9 is pushing the memory limits to maximum. I need to set the system so more XMS and EMS is free, but somehow I have to make Keen to actually take the memory and that's what is my problem. I changed to o...
