Re: OFF TOPIC THREAD: Where derailing the thread is impossible!

The amount is increasing. They may overload our forum and break it down, so perhaps fleexy should be warned to take some action. Having a lot of users registered in the database is mostly harmless - they're just data, like posts. The problems (like slowness or errors about DB connections) happen wh...

Re: The PCKF/KM Technical Problems Thread

I'm the server operator. Sorry about this disruption! I finally caught it happening and I think I identified the problem. There were a constant stream of requests (particularly heavy search requests) from within a cloud provider in Hong Kong - probably a crawler, not malicious, but effectively overw...

Re: Fleex plays Keen: Foray in the Forest

...eight... ... years ... ...later... I'm very excited to revive this series by playing Foray in the Forest ! The new playlist currently contains just one video - I wanted to at least record one today to celebrate the release. The hope is to release one episode every two days; we shall see how this ...

Well this is a blast from the past! I hadn't thought about this game in years. Here's a working Dropbox link.

Re: Pyramid of the Forbidden on Hard

The worst part for me is the slug right at the start of the second section, where you have to get off the moving platform onto the ground and very quickly shoot it. If I load right after it, I can finish the rest of the level in a couple tries. Unfortunately it took dozens of tries to get that savep...

Re: How to play fan made levels on modern laptop

Welcome back! If you can email me (my username @keenmodding.org) from your old account's address, I can reset its password for you. [ EDIT: I completely missed that you said you used DOSBox before. Sorry for the excessive explanation below. TL;DR DOSBox is still the way to go for playing Keen on mod...

Re: Help running a game:

Sorry for the confusion. I thought you were trying to update an older Keen 5 version because I saw the yellow 5keen14 icon in your screenshot. If you already have Keen 5 v1.4, you don't need any update. The UNLZEXE program that comes with this level pack is a DOS program, so you cannot drag and drop...

Re: Help running a game:

Welcome to the PCKF! It looks like you have many other files in the same folder. Could you please try making a new folder for only this game? Extract the ZIP to a new folder and add only AUDIO.CK5, EGAGRAPH.CK5, and KEEN5E.EXE from the original game. If you are updating an older version of Keen 5 to...

Re: Connection Not Private

Hmm, I updated the SSL certificates last week, but with the same procedure as always. If the error happens again, could you please screenshot any details or error codes your browser gives you? If you can view the certificate information, that would be especially helpful.

Re: Keen Awards 2022: Nominations (end on February 22)

For some reason, though, as I'm typing this, I see something about "Post icon" above the subject and message fields. I've got a feeling it's not supposed to be there, as I don't get it when replying to threads in other subforums. Oops, yes, I missed a spot when creating the subforum. Fixe...

Thanks to proYorp and Quillax for the extremely kind words. :o I must say that lots of people deserve credit for making the community so nice, especially this last year. I'm grateful to everyone for their kind participation, and to the other forum staff (including multiple who work behind the scenes...

Re: Keen Awards 2022: Nominations

Hm, what about a Keen Awards subforum of Other Keen Stuff, just like how Commander Genius is a subforum of Unofficial Keen Games? It wouldn't change the look of the main page much, and all related threads could be kept there, including the completed polls. I wonder what Fleexy thinks about it... Th...

That's ChatGPT , a very large text-generating AI that is optimized for conversation but surprisingly good at many other things.

Re: Commander Keen in Back to Fribbulus Xax!

Looks like I'm getting to the tougher levels! The Underground Dome took me a few dozen tries, but I did eventually get through it without in-level saving. The main tricky parts were the cannon/Orbatrix/spike pit near the top, the last platform ride past the cannons, and (when low on ammo) the Nospik...

Good idea, thanks! This is live now, may need a Ctrl+F5 to see.
