Re: Good introductory guide for Galaxy modding?

As for why Galaxy modding is more likely to run into issues than Vorticons modding, I think the easiest answer is that Galaxy is simply more advanced. There are more enemies, more tiles, and bigger sprites. To keep itself from getting overwhelmed, Galaxy only loads whatever is used in the current l...

Re: Good introductory guide for Galaxy modding?

Ceilick's Galaxy modding tutorial is the best way to go Thank you, I'll give it a look. Edit: I'm curious about the technical aspects (though I don't know if I'd be knowledgeable enough to fully understand them) that seem to make it more frequent to run into memory issues with Galaxy editing compar...

Good introductory guide for Galaxy modding?

Not entirely sure whether to ask this here or on the Keen:Modding forum, but... I've been kinda reluctant to make much attempt at Galaxy modding or levelpack-making because my initial experiences when I've tried a little bit in the past involved running into a lot of issues I didn't understand. It s...

Re: Are mods better than the official games?

I think it's hard to judge. My personal impression is mods tend to assume a certain degree of baseline familiarity with, and skill at, the official games. For someone like me who struggles to complete some of the official Keens (hell, I'm reasonably sure some of them I haven't ever managed), this ca...

Re: Your Own Keen Music!

Just whacked 'em up on SoundCloud. However I have now run out of space on there.

Re: Game running too fast?

Windows 10. Edit : Okay, strangely, turning vsync off actually seems to pretty much fix the speed issue. With vsync, I get around 140-ish FPS, without, about 62.5. The text looking pixelated in the launcher I don't know if there's a fix for. Should I record footage? Edit 2 : Oh. Okay. Looks like the...

Re: Your Own Keen Music!

I made remixes of a couple of Commander Keen 4 tracks years ago, I could put those up somewhere if anyone's interested.

IIRC I did try enabling vsync and it didn't make a difference. But I can try it on this new version next time I try it out.

Re: Game running too fast?

After trying out the newest version, I'm still having the same problem. Interface text also looks blurry/pixelated.

Re: Aspect ratio correction

Honestly I'm not sure whether I've had aspect ratio correction in DOSBox or not, particularly because I've used a few different DOSBox forks over time. (currently using DOSBox-X)

Edit: Looking at it, I think I don't have aspect ratio correction on.

Ah, I believe it was Commander Keen 64 that I was remembering.

Re: Should there be a 3D Keen game?

It's never been something I've been particularly clamouring for. IIRC there was at least one 3D Keen fangame attempt, though I don't recall whether it (or any others there might've been) got finished.
