Public Commander Keen Forum

After having a read in this thread regarding dosclassics.com: http://pckf.rigeltechnical.com/viewtopic.php?t=1311 Well, it looks like download links are fixed. So you can try downloading "The Universe is Toast 1 - When Bloogs Attack!" from a link in the following page: http://www.dosclassi...

As it's done in other places (e.g. EDuke32), I'd say that yes. There hasn't been much activity in the separated Commander Genius forums, while there have been a few threads scattered here. So it'd be good to have everything centralized in a single (sub)forum.

Hmm you know that, while the game maybe uses a resolution of 320x200 which isn't 4:3, it was designed to be shown on 4:3 displays? Many games used 320x200 with "non-square pixels" on 4:3 CRT displays this way. Assuming the pic in the beginning of thread is just a stretched screenshot, it's...

Oh, that's nice! It'd be great to have, well, another alternative way of playing CK Galaxy/Aliens. It'd help for the process of working on modifications, too. Regarding what to start coding first... at least for now, I think that it can be good to go by a list of priorities, from the first to the la...

While I haven't really been using Dukeres before and don't remember all details, the following could maybe help: It'd be good to ensure the modified external file saved still uses the same 256 color palette as before, and not more than 256 colors (e.g. 16-bit or 24-bit). Also, the Duke palette actua...

Yeah good idea Nospike, maybe an older keen6.olz file confuses unlzexe.
Also, I've never heard of version 1.6 of Keen 6. Maybe you meant 1.5, maybe it's some modification. When you use 1.4 make sure it's an original release (and as usual uncompress before trying to run AAMBA).

An index of useful patches can be found here: http://levellord.rewound.net/Index/

Wine was set to XP mode at the time, I think. Now it just throws memory access violations whenever I try to run the demo, so I can't find out if changing to Vista or 7 mode does anything. After seeing the above reply, I've decided to make a few more tests, using Wine on Linux. Looks like one would ...

To avoid confusion,

I recall it has originally been linking to a "Rick Roll" video. Now pointing to "Trololo".
I do agree it may be the next "rick roll" phenomena.

UPDATE: Someone we know has joined the IRC channel as 'ushangry'. The following info is incorrect, but keep for 'historical purposes' :P [UNRELATED]ushangry is not a spam bot. A few ppl including me could just see someone joining the #pckf IRC channel under the nickname 'unhangry', again asking abou...

ok, I've just figured out that there are, sort of, two ways to reproduce this; One explained above, the other can be done in an original Keen 6 level! And what's funny is that the latter way is what I've encountered first :lol So, here's how it can be reproduced in level 11 (BASA): 1. Make sure you'...

Well, actually, I've accidently found this out while playing a bit with a level of some level pack that has been released.

Hi all, It's possible that a new Commander Keen glitch has just been found out. It's a bit complicated to reproduce, uses the impossible bullet trick in the way. UPDATE: I've figured out a bit later that a bit different variant of it can reproduced on an original Keen 6 level, and not just a customi...

315 members right now. So I guess that to summarize:

- On the 3.14 in Australia, there have been 314 members.
- On the same date but in Europe and America (different time zones), there'd be at least 315.

Well, it is non-trivial to delete the patches relevant to cheating, cause I removed comments >D
As I've told before, cheats are disabled for a reason: To avoid the easy reveal of spoilers not in the intended way (think of secret levels and, say, a few surprises).
