Re: Newly revealed Commander Keen 6 glitch?
I believe it can also be done by impossible-bulleting onto a keyholder, though that's hard to do consistently. Then of course there's using all the Pink Shots and Babobba embers. It's the trick that keeps on giving.

It's never done, just release a beta like the smart modders do and only fix the stuff people complain about.

It needs a 'Are you sure you want to overwrite' thingy in it. The first rule of programming is, after all, "Users will be more ingeniously stupid than you can possibly imagine. This includes you." (Perhaps not 'stupid' per se, but most definitely more things can go wrong than you expect.)

Re: Space Chase
That's quite true, though given the format I'm assuming it lists the number of files there. I COULD rewrite it easily enough simply to assume the chunk list and get the number of files from that, but it was a rush job. It's wonderful how neither of us can figure out what the other's source is doing....

It's what everyone does. They're just not usually so obvious about it. There's been a mass shooting? Was it a darkie? If so, talk about terrorism. If not gun control\'thoughts and prayers' Fire or flood? Global warming and whether or not it's a thing. Some sort of business fraud thing? Regulations a...

Re: Unused Keen Art meant for an Apogee catalog
The only explanation as for why he has fur coating is that all these characters drawn in this pic have matured. And Cosmo in the games is just a small alien. Small aliens of his kind don't have fur yet, but when they are becoming adults, they begin to grow. And that Cosmo right there is an adult Co...

By all means, go ahead and do it. And then tell me why my tool doesn't work and how I should have coded it to avoid the error you were getting, without knowing what the files for episodes 2 and 3 look like.
