You've been working on it since 2016. Why don't you post some progress update? Good point. That project stagnated after I became very busy with important life things. I have more free time nowadays though and it might be a good idea for me to pick up the threads again. But I'd be reworking a lot of...

Personally I'd like to make a new Keen fangame which would represent the "next step" in 2D game engines from the Galaxy era. Id Software moved right from Keen to Wolfenstein, then to DOOM, completely skipping over any technical advancements that could have been made in 2D engines. I'd like to see a ...

We just need something that doesn't look like an insipid vector art children's cartoon, please.

Now I should try this again with the new theme!

Granted. You teleport into Wuhan, China. Have fun!

I wish I had a coupon for unlimited free overnight shipping everywhere.

That's the most plausible 3D model of Keen I've ever seen.

I wish I could see in the whole spectrum.

Granted. It's the entire electromagnetic spectrum. You are blinded constantly by wavelengths that really are better off invisible.

I wish I had an HD webcam.

I wish the planet would rise up against those like Spleen who oppress us all for their selfish gain.

Granted. The planet literally rises out of its orbit. Everyone dies. But on the bright side, nobody's oppressed any more. God sighs and power cycles the universe.

I wish I had a silver dollar.

Do you have NKLAUNCH or are you starting it manually? If manually, you need to run IPX commands in DOSBox to connect the two together before trying to run Netkeen. 1. Is ipx set to “true” in DOSBox.conf on both machines? 2. Do you know what the IP address of each machine is and are you using that in...

It's 1994 and I've just got myself a brand new IBM Thinkpad 755C! It has an incredibly fast Intel 486DX4 CPU running at 75 MHz. I'm impressed. The 20 MB of RAM are plenty for all of my programs. I like the snazzy Windows 3.1 interface. The high resolution 640x480 screen is really nice too. This new ...

Woah, Borland C++ 3 works perfectly! So now I can get to coding. I grabbed a copy of the latest (1.3) Atroxian Realm source code. It also compiles fine and works properly. Right now I'm not looking to do anything huge with the code. I just want to poke around in it, familiarize myself with the struc...

Hello everyone who knows something about cksrcmod: I am going to try to dive into this code and figure out how it all works. I figure I may as well just get my hands dirty. It was easy enough to get it compiling. I'm using Borland Turbo C++ 3, and TASM 5. It compiles just fine. But after compiling i...

OK, so I tested this trick on my 486 and my IBM PC AT (286). On the 486 it works! But not nearly as well as your results, K1n9_Duk3... I wasn't able to get it to surpass 500K. It was grabbing enough memory for any of the big mods to function properly, but only barely. My best results came with JEMME...

Woah!

I vaguely suspected the UMB thing might affect it, but I was not prescient enough to actually try to remove it.

Thanks for figuring this out, K1n9_Duk3. I'll test it on my machines soon.

I guess the memory manager was originally targeted at an earlier DOS version and might have worked with XMS at some point. As I mentioned earlier, I can't get XMS to work either. OK this is interesting. I know Keen has stuff in the help files about "if you run DOS 5.0", probably expecting that the ...
