Re: Tips for recording DOSBox video on Linux (on a low-end computer)

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 als...

Re: Tips for recording DOSBox video on Linux (on a low-end computer)

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 XF...

Re: Life Updates Thread

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 t...

Re: Tips for recording DOSBox video on Linux (on a low-end computer)

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...

Thank You, Community!

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 serie...

Re: Commander Keen - Aurora Bliss (RELEASE)

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 Cavern...

Re: Commander Keen - Aurora Bliss (RELEASE)

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...

Re: Operation Station Infiltration

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!

Re: Operation Station Infiltration

@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 le...

Re: Operation Station Infiltration

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 o...

Re: Operation Station Infiltration

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 DOS...

Re: Operation Ocflore

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...

Re: Ultimate Commander Keen 4/Commander Keen 4 Ultimate Edition

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?

Re: [v2.11.1] Abiathar: The superior Keen Galaxy editor

I'm having trouble. I click the new project option per the directions, and Abiathar crashes. I have the most recent version and unzipped it into its own folder in program files. What did I do wrong?

Re: Sign of the Vool

I've played many mods and feel like I should contribute somehow, but I don't know much about coding and the like. The most likely way I'd be able to contribute is something with music. If I go that route, how would I be most helpful?
