I'm glad you enjoyed it! I agree that all the usual ways to obtain the Cakes won't work. But they CAN be obtained, which is why I didn't modify this part of the level. In order obtain the Cakes, you need to stand on the right Burger platform, perform a super-pogo jump, and then turn off the pogo mid...

I've uploaded another version (final version) of the Keen 3 Bug Fix. I wasn't satisfied with Level 13 (Secret Level) and Level 15 (Caves of Oblivion). Now I'm completely satisfied with both. ---------------------------------------- THOUGHTS ON DESIGN DECISIONS ---------------------------------------...

I'd love to see these on the Keen Wiki if you think they are good enough. Also, I think enough effort went in to constitute 3 (technically) mods. NOTE: I had to upload a new version of the Keen 3 Bug Fix. I forgot to add the points patchfile to the fix. Also, I made one final fix to Level 15 (I obvi...

Finally Finished!

Also, I was able to alter the title of the topic without issue.

Well, I've fixed the issue! On closer observation, the reason the hitbox was taller was because the 2 largest pogoing sprites were too tall. The result of the initial fix: the top of Keen's helmet goes slightly into roofs when pogoing. To fix this new issue, I removed 1 row of repeated pixels from t...

OK. That makes a lot more sense. Some programs change the pallet slightly when saving the image. I've thoroughly looked into the "shoot through the roof" issue. As you said, the hitbox for pogoing Keen is 1 pixel taller than the hitbox for normal Keen (I'm assuming that the reddish box bes...

In all likelihood, Keengraph is converting the EGA graphics into BMP files. This would mean that Keengraph is acting as an interpreter. The observed issue implies that the BMP file format has changed slightly between XP and 7. Since Keengraph only knows of the XP BMP language, it can't interpret cor...

Hmm... That's quite interesting. I guess that means that Keengraph was designed around the restrictions of XP Paint?

Anyway, I'll try out one of these excellent suggestion sometime later this week (probably the weekend at this rate).

I used MS Paint for editing. My exact procedure was as follows: 1. Export graphics with Keengraph using the basic command: keengraph.exe -export -episode=3 -bmpdir='GRAPHICS' 2. Open the tileset file using MS Paint (This might be my problem here). 3. Edit the tile by making the surrounding sky-blue ...

I've uploaded the Zip with the patchfile this time.

I looked into the Blue Keycard issue. It's an issue in with the tile itself. I fixed the tile, but after importing back into the game, the pallet was completely messed up.

Correction: The patchfile DOES switch the points so that the Candybar gives 100 points and the Burger gives 500 points. I've had the patch in place since forever-ago but never labeled it. As a result, I forgot what it was supposed to do (had a vague recollection about some Keen 3 bug where item poin...
