Public Commander Keen Forum

Looks like I'm getting to the tougher levels! The Underground Dome took me a few dozen tries, but I did eventually get through it without in-level saving. The main tricky parts were the cannon/Orbatrix/spike pit near the top, the last platform ride past the cannons, and (when low on ammo) the Nospik...

Good idea, thanks! This is live now, may need a Ctrl+F5 to see.

Beautiful! The PNG logo is great. I darkened the header background a little for contrast. Admin usernames were un-highlighted like on the PCKF while I was at it. Here's the diff.

The changes are live on KM now, though you might have to Ctrl+F5 to see them. Comments welcome!

Thanks for starting this! A phpBB3-compatible Keen Modding logo is definitely well overdue. I like the Keen reading image. I think I might even prefer the static version like in your screenshot since KM seems like a more reserved kind of place. On the other hand, some more variety in the hex bytes m...

If you still have the problematic tileset or the error details, I'd be happy to help troubleshoot. Even if the tileset image isn't in a usable format/size, I'd like Abiathar to at least give a helpful error message.

phpBB doesn't expose a setting for this AFAICT, but there is indeed a CSS media query that switches into the mobile-like mode when the width is 700px. That parameter could be easily changed in the CSS file, but unfortunately I think the results from just doing that would be a mess. For reference, th...

A few weeks later (sorry), I've had some time and energy to play Keen mods! Blueriver Ford and the Security Point were fun and relaxing. The difficulty level seems good to me so far, even playing without in-level saving. If anything, I was expecting Security Point to be harder, at least the optional...

If I turn my phone sideways, I think I get all the information you're looking for. I imagine phpBB accomplishes this through some kind of media query, so I could probably adjust the screen width cutoff if you like.

Sounds like you've got the graphics editing figured out. Nice! Those patches look right. Could you please double-check that they all appear in your patch file on disk (called "abiathar.pat" by default)? Edit | Patches reflects the current project settings, but to update the actual patch fi...

Congratulations on starting your modding journey! The options and difficulty depend on what you mean by "add an extra tile set." Starting at the most difficult: if you want to add a whole independent plane of tiles beyond the background/foreground/infoplane three, that's basically impossib...

Welcome to Abiathar! How do you have tile properties set up in your project? You can check by clicking through Edit | Project Settings to the Tileinfo Source step. ( Caution! Back up your project/levels before changing the project settings. Click Cancel once done if you don't need to make any change...

Welcome to the PCKF, Landola1! I think you will be able to use PMs now. (They're disabled by default for new users due to spambots. Sorry for the inconvenience.)

Just one question for Fleexy: can you show me the problem with the platform tiles having a mismatch boundary with the adjoining tiles? Sorry for the delay! I haven't had time to play more levels yet, but I'm definitely looking forward to it. In the meantime, I F10+G'd through the 3 levels I did com...

I downloaded the update - thanks for fixing the glitches. I've only had time to play the BwB, Bloogarrison, and Bobbadome yet, but I'm having fun so far! Interesting and surprising take on the BwB - I didn't expect that from the world map. I like that it can theoretically provide unlimited ammo if t...

Congratulations on getting to the beta release! Galaxy projects are big endeavors. Glad I could help.

I downloaded it (expanding the folder name at the top then choosing Download produces a convenient ZIP file) and will start playing this week.
