Okay, as it turns out, I needed to do more than just extract the file. For people like me who are less familiar with the back end of Linux, it would be appreciated to have more extensive instructions on what to do after extraction.

I got it to work but still need to do ./dro2midi, or I still get ...

Hey all, I am trying to my transcription easier by using this tool, but I can't seem to get something right. I downloaded then extracted the tar.gz to my Music directory, then tried to extract the IMFs to the dro2midi folder. They don't show up in there, so I extracted them to Music and then copied ...

Thanks for the reply. I'm a glutton for punishment who went right into Kali Linux due to an interest in cybersecurity. I still am glad I switched and that there are people like you who are willing to help. I'm nervous about trying some of the stuff, as I am a newbie, but it won't hurt to look.

I ...

Thanks @Nospike. I've tried it and have had mixed results. Sometimes it works, while other times I manage to switch workspaces despite the click. I used to have numbered workspaces on my top bar, but I did something and lost them and haven't figured out how to get them back. If it matters, I'm on ...

Finding steady employment has been a struggle for me, especially in the past three years. I got downsized from my job (no surprise) and have had a better job hunt than all the other times I was unemployed. I'm waiting on a start date for my new job. It's a new field for me, and I am excited by and ...

I'm not sure if I'm going to record, but I switched to Linux this summer and had to go back to my Windows 10 computer to play Canmore's Redemption because I couldn't get my Commander Keen CD to mount reliably for installation. Are there good tutorials on installing from CD in Debian-based distros? I ...

I was just thinking about all the different Keen mods I've played over the years. I enjoyed the TUIT trilogy, so I am glad to see that modding didn't quit after it. I know little about coding, so thank you to the people with computer knowledge to parse such details so we can enjoy more of this ...

I had not realized that there was a gap wide enough to admit a shot at that point in the Astra Temple, as it looked like the way truly was blocked; now that i know it, it seems a neat puzzle. I had to use the jump cheat in the mine to place the second green gem.

I found a bug of sorts in Echo ...

I'm late to the game (heh) and I've found it pretty good thus far. It's the creepiest Keen mod I've seen. I'm playing on normal. I have, however, run into a problem in the Astra Temple. I can't get the second blue gem. I opened the door with the green key, but there are wood blocks at the end of the ...

I finally found a secret area (the one under the final level on the world map) after a hint left in a comment on a Let's Play of the game. I love the concept executed there! Then I got to run in terror from a Shikadi Overlord in the next two levels so I could see the different ending. Beautiful!

@Ceilick - In regards to the sounds, I didn't consider the differences, if there were any, to be grating. I noticed that sometimes there is a hollow metallic bonging sound when Keen bumps his head. Again, it's a difference but not a problem. Don't worry about it.

I still have not found the secret ...

I completed a playthrough on normal. I think it's a bit dicey in later levels, definitely not a mod for Keen newbies. I am thankful that people continue to put out new mods and level packs. Do you think it will shame ID into doing something with this series? Nah.

I took notes on random things that ...

I watched Shikadi Netzwerk's first video of this, and I am impressed thus far by what I see.
I downloaded this and extracted the files, but I am unsure how to start the game, as I get error messages or warnings when I click on stuff, and I don't see a batch file. I am running Windows 10 and have ...

I played it and liked it. As someone with a minor in Classical Studies, I thought the use of Latin names for some of the enemies was very cool. The Blue Barbatus, however, was a terrifying enemy because it launched itself from so far away. The worms joining to form another fast, terrifying enemy was ...

This is possibly a stupid question, but would someone please tell me how to get into the new levels? Do I need to complete the old ones first? I'm trying that now. I thought K4 1.4 was shareware and so was bundled in the pack. Do I need to do another download to get the stuff to make it work?
