Re: Just some feedback & thoughts from one user

He has a good point and it also was a consequence of implementing the quick save functionality. I wanted to add that for a long time anyways. The run button can be set to any other button if you don't want to use. You think it should an option to disable it? I still am not sure if we already have op...

Re: Lua support

Does that mean a potential for mods that can have all the enemy types from the Galaxy Engine games into one single game/mod, and maybe in the long run a guide for non-coders on how to create custom enemy types, and maybe even create bosses (not that common in the Keen games)? Oh yes, certainly the ...

Re: Original tilesets for Keen 1-6, so that users can modify each original tile for each game

Looking very good. The style of Miragia is dithered again, but somehow I like it more than the semi-transparent stuff we had before. I would add those Tilemaps and sprites to the Keen 4 Plus as an Update if you are fine with it.

P.S.: Still need to recreate the HQP Update with your Keen5 graphics.

Lua support

Working on the version of CG after 2.4.5 and next mayor feature is Lua. Why Lua? Honestly I got sick of Python, especially C bindings and distribution is not fun, so yeah Lua. Just ported Keen9 from the Python script to Lua: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7sI6MPjLcE It's not perfect, but quite pla...

Re: Original tilesets for Keen 1-6, so that users can modify each original tile for each game

I'm almost done with my modifications of the Keen 4 tiles now, and I've also added some colors to some of the sprites (the sprite for the green gun and various items is to be found both on the tilesheets and as separate sprites in the folder where all my Keen 4 sprites are extracted). It seems like...

Re: Original tilesets for Keen 1-6, so that users can modify each original tile for each game

I don't see why this should be a problem. I will take your graphics for HQP then. I don't want to promise too much regarding Keen Dreams, because the CG engine code in that regard is a big mess right now. I will tidy up a bit more, once other priorities are taken care of. Here is a small video using...

Re: Original tilesets for Keen 1-6, so that users can modify each original tile for each game

Sounds good.

I can add your tiles to HQP where you also find the Keen 1-4 special tilesets. The users will have to copy files together though. Let me know if that is fine for you. It would be nice to remove the dithering of the world map tiles though for more consistency. Other than that good job.

Re: Original tilesets for Keen 1-6, so that users can modify each original tile for each game

Sounds good. I hope you have considered Keen4plus and keen4coop which already provide svga tiles.

Just saying, feel free to use them as base for your work.

Re: Original tilesets for Keen 1-6, so that users can modify each original tile for each game

Well, I can open up the appplication like for the tilemaps where you would load sprites pictures which are replaced by the original ones. I will take a look on file 5SPR0275.BMP and add support for 5SPR0275.PNG and 5SPR0275.JPG as well, so we are complete for a lot of creativity. Just give me a bit ...

Re: CGenius 2.3.5 released

The controls should work like on any other desktop based system just fine.

Did you have any issues? What did you try to do?

Re: Original tilesets for Keen 1-6, so that users can modify each original tile for each game

I've done some work on my personal enhancement on the Keen 5 tileset now, by using the MS-DOS VGA 256 color palette instead of the original 16 colored one, and using Asprite as my pixel-art editor. However, it seems like I'm not able to make changes to the enemy sprites and such and make CGenius vi...
