That's a neat chart. I think unfinished mods should be left out. I bet a lot of them won't even reach completion.

Well, Ceilick, this is probably difficult for you to address. I don't think the difficulty is too hard, but I believe there are certain spots where poor level design tends to lead to a lot of accidental deaths. I'm especially reffering to areas with low ceilings and tile harards you have to jump ove...

When I first saw this next to the blueprint of the Mangling Machine, I actually thought it would be the final boss. Although I knew a shockshund replacement was a possible way the final boss would go, I wasn't really sure. When I saw this, I became almost positive it had something to do with the end...

It's already been found. It's an unfixable side effect of patching.

I was referring to the releases with cheats disabled.

I like your philosphy behind this Ceilick. Things need to be improved, but not directly changed (except maybe enemy behavior and a little of the world map) The "I can't swim" message can be made longer to fill the entire text box space; I've done it. Seeing extra underwater behaviors would...

It was pretty funny how tricky you made reenabling cheats. Very simple but clever idea in the patch file. That kept me stumped for a while

I'm sure most of us don't mind waiting a while for the rerelease. I'm still hoping to see those music outakes soon.

Actually, I just want to see a quality levelpack for Keen 4. I wouldn't have a problem with a few small graphic changes/additions, but I think we need new Keen 4 levels in the style of the original. Keen 5 had Keen Asylum and Keen 6 had a few levelpacks/recolored graphic levels, but Keen 4 has been ...

That's funny. Only 2 days ago I was using DOSBOX 0.72 and levels still worked fine for me.

Ok, I gave this a go yesterday with Lemm and Mink and thought I would post my comments publicly. Overall this is a really neat project, but it does have a few flaws. At the moment, you pretty much have to be on the IRC channel to organize a game, which seems a bit inconvinient to me. We need to find...

Well, there's nothing wrong with the patch file. It sounds like you're still running it from the EXE, which won't work. Are you saying that your .bat file isn't working? Make sure you give it a few seconds when it starts up, and if it still doesn't work, could you post the contents of the batch file?

We'll be more than happy to help you. Don't worry about causing trouble. Most of us desperately want to play some K4 levels as much as you want to make them. :) From the screenshots, I think your levels will have a lot of quality. Something is obviously up with your files, most likely the patch file...

Your level looks perfect to me. I can't tell what is causing the error. Are you using a patch file? Maybe it's some big thing you overlooked. Hard to say since I don't know much about the editor.

Edit: What are you running to play this? You want to run G04.bat, not Keen4.exe

I think I know what your problem is. You also need EDGE Blocks on the bottom of the screen

Anyway you could upload or tell us what you have? I can't really think of what you are doing wrong.
