Public Commander Keen Forum

Also, speaking of Paddle War, has anyone reverse engineered that part of the code or do I need to find a pong example online to work backwards from? Dunno if it helps since it is written in BlitzMax and not in C, but here's my code for PaddleWar that's used in KEENGINE: Method MenuLoop() Const Ball...

there's this expansion to Hexen II called Portals of Praevus that isn't there. It's strange that Hexen II's even there in the first place since Raven was bought out by Activision at the time and made it for them :confused Maybe cuz it's based on the Quake II engine? But so is half life and you don'...

You could use Photoshop or The GIMP. Both can handle indexed (256 color) images with a custom palette. Just open any image exportet from the Duke files (they should all have the correct colors) and save the palette to a file. Then you should be able to edit the image in any way you want (even going ...

Have a look at the screenshots for Spear of Destiny and compare them to the Wof3D shots. The Spear shots look like they've been scanned from the game's box or some other non-digital source. Since Spear was distributed through the same company as Keen 6, it might be true that they just didn't have th...

I was referring to this particular piece of information:

But now I see that this is just another forum post.

Keen 6 isn't the only one that's screwed up. The screenshot for Catacomb 3-D is actually a shot from The Catacomb: Abyss. That one isn't even an id game! Actually, it's a Softdisk game that only credits id Software for the engine and Adrian Carmack for Artwork.

Try using MS Virtual PC and install WinXP on a virtual machine .... or Win98 ....... or 3.11

The problem is, even if ID software wanted to release Commander Keen on XBLA, which they don't, they don't have the source code to put Commander Keen on any other platform. First of all, I read an interview with John Carmack in which he said that he might be doing a Commander Keen on the iPhone. An...

Should we have it split screen for co-op, or should it force everyone to stay on one screen? Maybe the split screen could be implemented with up to four screens being shown at the same time, so that every player can see just as far as if he would play in single player mode. Should be pretty easy to...

spec = specification

I played Duke Nukem II a lot when I was younger. (Who would've guessed!?)

Stumbled upon Hocus Pocus some time ago and played through all episodes within a week or so. Probably the easiest Apogee game ever. And still fun to play.

Is this Keen 1-3 or 4-5?

It's both! Just click the link, scroll down and you'll see.

(off-topic)²

This is neither about "Other Keen Stuff" nor about recording videos in DosBox. WHEY! (Or was Crysis a DOS-game?)



The rest depends on what kind of program you're using to record the video.

These are not really "tribute-ads". They're just some kind of graffiti, glued on top of some ad posters.

But well done.

Just record the gaming footage in DOSbox (ctrl-f5 or whatever you need to press to record a video). Then you'll have both the video and audio in perfect quality. Then just record whatever you want to say seperately (maybe while watching your footage) and use Windows Movie Maker or a "real"...
