Secret Agent vs Crystal Caves mashup

Secret Agent VS Crystal Caves

Here are the Secret Agent 1 and Crystal Caves 1 tilesets:

Use them, so we can build a level mashup of the both games:

Take the image at its current state and add something. Then post it back. When adding tiles, preserve and align it to the 16x16 set (enemies would be the only exception). Please note that Agent 006 1/2 can jump over two 16x16 blocks. In the screenshot, you can see the approximate high jump he could make. Image format: PNG. Save to maximum quality. Goal: a completely merged level from Secret Agent and Crystal Caves.

Edit: It's over. The end result is here:

Apogee, Ancient DOS, games, LGR, id software, classic, retro, pckf

Oh shoot. Somebody placed guns way up in the sky.
Counting every pixel, one by one, those guns should be just about in the right position.

Good luck! Secret Agent was one of my favorite DOS games.

@troublesomekeen So you wanted to make fun out of this or what?

Tempted just to import these into Keen n' make a mod mashup.

Seems quite possible considering what we saw from Keenrush`s Fastest Gun mod.

Aand it's complete.

Thanks to everyone who participated and especially to troublesomekeen. Without his help this wouldn't be possible.

Wow. How did everyone manage to collaborate so invisibly?

Now to convert it to Keen. Keen 1 or Keen 3? We know enough about both to do either, though Keen 1 is more expansive.

troublesomekeen you should put the secret agent goggles in order to see the invisible.

To convert the tileset or the image? If keen 1 is more expansive then keen 1.

Isn't modding secret agent levels and graphics already possible?

Roobar · Post by **Roobar** » Wed May 15, 2013 18:00

If it was possible, I would have made already a mod or at least a level pack!

As far as I know Malvenious was trying something in that direction, but unfortunately, it looks like he abandon it. There is a possibility to change the graphics, but not the levels. Still, I hope to make a few levels whether it's with a Secret Agent level editor or with a Keen editor.

There is a tool that replaces graphics out already and Malvineous got his hands on some level editor code, I think he already has something up and working. Ask him nicely and he might share.

If people want a graphics tool I can do it, I already have a sound tool. Levels might be a bit trickier, how many layers do they have? Two like Keen 1-3 or three like Keen 4-6? If we know the format a keen-caves converter is easy.
