But can someone guide me through making a patch file for a Keen-1 mod?
I'm almost ashamed to ask...

It's pretty simple. You don't need to know what any of the codes mean (usually), just how to copy and paste them.
First make sure you have a copy of ck1patch.exe in your mod's folder,
1. Make a plain text file:
You can replace the "[patchfile]" with anything you want. Something like "patch.pat" or "yourmodname.pat"
And save it as "run.bat" or something similar. Just make sure the extension is ".bat".
2. Make another plain text file:
And save it as [patchfile].pat (make sure the name matches the one in the .bat file.
3. Add patches. They go in the space in-between the two lines in the patch file.
Find a patch on Keen:Modding or at http://levellord.rewound.net/Index/
So say you want this patch:
This patch, as it says, will make Keen's ammo go to 0 after each level.
You would copy the patch into the patchfile.
So your resulting patchfile would look something like this:
Now you can save the file, run your .bat file, and the game should run with the patch.
Hope I explained that well.

$A3 $A4 $AA $A3 $9A $AA $A3 $C8 $AA $90 $90

To add, for some of the easier patches, I'd recommend you download theneuralstunner by Mink (here: http://keenmodding.org/viewtopic.php?t=1134&start=0), and use that for making your patchfile.
You crack me up little buddy!
