Oh wow. I didn't even see this project. It looks fantastic! I really hope it gets complicated one day. But great goons, what has become of Mr. Black?

Oh hey guys, sorry about this. I've had a lot of other things to do and kind of forgot about Commander Keen (at a bad time too with only 3 levels incomplete :P) I'll make sure to at least finish the Isle of Fire. I'll release it without changing Well of Wishes or the secret level if you guys don't mind :)

That's fine with me, this is one thing I'm really wanting to play. (Or alternatively take more time and get those last two levels made too to complete the whole set? :british More fun for players. :dopekeen)

2shared'll work, as well as mediafire, dropbox or ckfs.

Also looking forward to it, the sneak peeks were extremely promising.

I am guessing you must have played Mr. Black's Keen 3 levelpack if you truly are that excited to play his Keen 4 levelpack.

Yes. One of the best Keen level packs ever. Maybe the very best.

I have played it. It is a very good levelpack. I believe I have stated in the past that I liked it better than the original Keen 3.

I tried to play the game. I got a "map too tall" error in Dosbox.

MrBlack, could you include all the other required files? I'm not exactly sure what they are, but I think there ought to be some patch file too because something needs to be patched -- right? As such, just replacing the old gamemaps with this file doesn't work, once you start the game it reports RF_NewMap: Map too tall! :( (And I suggest at least making some readme with credits, since you've put some much work to this, you should give yourself the credit. :)) My old Keen 4 mod, with the editor I used, needed lines like
%gamemaps editmaps.ck4
%maphead maphead.ck4
in the patch file... Take a look in the patch file and see if there's anything like that, then try moving and replacing files in a fresh Keen 4 folder and see if it works. I hope this gets sorted out soon, can't wait.


Definitely much better than the original Keen 3 levels. The pack was like what Keen 3 should have been.

Oops you're right, it's so force of habit to run go4 for me that I forgot about it. Put this in the same directory as Keen4 and run it in DosBox instead of Keen4.

Edit: And put this in the directory also...

Hello,

Maybe it would be a better idea if you just ZIP your whole folder and upload to 2shared.

Because, it's still missing 1 file:



go4
ch4patch patch4.pat
Error: Can't find script file patch4.pat
