Public Commander Keen Forum

I just bumped into this collection of Keen 1-3 WAV files as part of levellord/levellass's patch index: http://levellord.toxicsheep.com/Index/Sound%20compiler/ I didn't even know about this. Wow that's simple awesome! :D Thanks allot for sharing that! The guy who ripped that calls himself levellord?

Can they be converted to .wav? also I don't know how to use that! Could you do it for me?

As far as I know, there is no specific program that accomplishes this. (Correct me if I'm wrong in this.) However, there was somebody in another thread (I don't remember who) who has those sound effects in mp3 format. Well that other topic was from me! and that guy gave me the sound effects from Ke...

It's a Line Command program, which means you have to access it through a command line window (or DOS prompt). For example, if you put it in a copy of your Keen1 folder, you might do something like: modkeen -export -episode=1 The commands for the line depend on which version you download, but for th...

This is a command-line program, so you'll have to open a DOS prompt to use it. (Or create automated .bat files.)

I got it, but how do I exactly use it?

Where can I get ModKeen?

Does anybody know what font ID software used for the first 3 Commander Keen episodes? I need to know this because I want my fangame to be so accurate as possible.

Thanks in advance.

Horrible collision, horrible animation, buggy as hell... In other words, you shouldn't have released this fan game in the current garg state.

I *have* roughly 99% of all of the sounds. Post your IMing program and I'll send them to you when we're both online. They're in MP3 format, you can easily find something that will convert them to WAV if that's your prerogative. I have send you my e-mail adres from MSN through a PM. Although I think...

I'm currently working on a Commander Keen fangame in the style of the first 3 episodes. I got most graphics I need but I do not have the sound effects. So does anybody here has sound effects from the first 3 Commander Keen games? Then please post them here! Credit will be given to the ripper and Id ...
