TED5 on a Mac
This is my first day on these forums, so if I'm doing anything wrong please go easy on me.
I have TED5 downloaded on my Mac from KeenWiki, but I can't get it to work. It says that it cannot find a graphics file. When I tried it on a PC it did exactly the same thing. In both cases I used DOSBox.
Am I simply downloading it from the wrong place? What advice can you sweet-hearted superiors [/suckup] give that can solve my problem?

I love my cute little Machop!
Come on, you know Machop is cute! I mean, how could you not love those endearing eyes? That adorable face? That loving embrace?
Just don't call it cuddly or else it will hurt you.

First of all, this may help you: http://www.shikadi.net/keenwiki/Ceilick ... g_Tutorial
I'm not positive if it would run on a Mac, but I recommend using The Omegamatic (TOM) instead of TED5. TED5 is an old and sometimes difficult program to setup and use. It's been so long since I've set up a TED5 modding folder that I don't know what the problem you are having is.

If you still would prefer TED5, I have some setup folders laying around on my computer. If you specify which episode, I could upload for you.

TOM won't work on a Mac without the aid of WINE or some such, no. As for TED5, I think the wiki article highlights the necessary steps - you need to run tedsetup first, might be the cause of your problem.

It would help if you speciy which episode you're modding. As I said, I can link you a starter folder set up for TED5. But if TOM doesn't work on a Mac, then other essential modding programs might not work as well.
Make sure you have all the right files and followed all the earlier steps in that guide. Do you have the correct version of the Keen game? Did you run unlzexe on the execuatable? Did you extract the graphics with modkeen? Hope this helps.

So, there are different ones for each game... so much for teaming bloogs with Shikadi...Gridlock wrote:It would help if you speciy which episode you're modding.

I'll start with Commander Keen 5 for now, because of my beloved Shikadi.

Sorry, you can't mix elements enemies from the different Keen games easily.
Here is a setup folder for Keen 5. Please read through the included readme. If anything doesn't work properly, just tell me and I can check it.

That's because it's not an Apple installer. You'll need wither WINE... or a REAL computer.No. 1 Machop Fan wrote:When I run TEDSETUP.EXE, absolutely nothing happens.TerminILL wrote:TOM won't work on a Mac without the aid of WINE or some such, no.

I think that Apple's installers are .dmg.
One way that you can guarantee that everything you use will work on Mac, download DOSBox FOR MAC and use any DOS-Based Keen leveling programs. These will work as DOSBox emulates the DOS environment well enough.

I have a program called Boxer which simplifies the DOSBox process a HUGE deal, and was just asking how I could get TED5 to work on it.
At this stage I've figured most thing out, and am only struggling to run my saved works without crashing the program.
I love my cute little Machop!

I'd say it's the TED5 program itself, since Boxer works perfectly at worst with all my other DOS games.kuliwil wrote:Ah, tl;dr indeed. Apologies.
Are you having difficulties with DOS, or with the program itself?
