You're getting killed by the Shikadi Master's shockwave attack. You know, the things that spawn when the master teleports out or the master's energy ball hits the ground.

%patch $AD6C $BC39W $009BW $EB $61I apologize for my newbie ignorance as well as my laziness. I have very little knowledge of Dropbox, plus you did post earlier in this thread or another about changing the 0 to a 1 in Dropbox links for direct download and obviously I couldn't be bothered to do so. I was attempting to upload my save file from my hard run where the glitch is happening. I was also attempting to upload a .gif recorded from Dosbox showing what the glitch looks like and let people know it existed if for some reason the glitch could not be reproduced from the save file. I experienced this same glitch on my normal runs, so for the .gif I dropped down the menus to show I was in hard mode and this was clearly a different save file.Nisaba wrote: ↑Tue May 19, 2020 20:06 Hey Syllypryde,
if you could, please replace the last digit of your download link with a 1. this way one can directly download your files instead of getting a redirect to dropbox.com. this makes things a bit easier for all of us.
also there is a trick to display dropbox-images here on the forums. change this......into that:Code: Select all

It is very interesting to see you mention that. For some strange reason I thought that's what was happening as well. I never saw the shockwaves when I went through the door and it was happening at seemingly random times, it didn't make sense to me. By the way, the patch you just gave me, where exactly do I add it to the patch file? Does it have to be in a specific place or can I add it anywhere? I'm asking because like I said before I know little to nothing about patching.K1n9_Duk3 wrote: ↑Tue May 19, 2020 21:28 You're getting killed by the Shikadi Master's shockwave attack.

The shockwave objects will stop moving when they're too far off screen and the game also won't remove them when they're too far off screen. So they just sit there and don't do anything until they become visible again. You don't actually see them after using the door since they get removed when they touch (and kill) Keen. Normally you'd have some invincibilty to protect you when you go through doors, but you don't actually get any invincibility at all while opening the security door and then going through it.
Here's a patch that will give you about 2.2 seconds of invincibility when opening the security door:Code: Select all
%patch $AD6C $BC39W $009BW $EB $61
You can put it anywhere between the "%ext ck5" line and the "%end" line, just make sure not to insert it in the middle of a %patch command that spans multiple lines in the file. You can insert the new patch line right after the "%ext" line and it should work fine.Syllypryde wrote: ↑Tue May 19, 2020 21:39By the way, the patch you just gave me, where exactly do I add it to the patch file?

Neither did I before invesitgating this. I originally thought that the invincibility was just running out too soon because Keen has to wait until the door opens. But when you think about it, the keycard doors were always used as level exits in Keen 5, so they didn't need to give Keen invincibility.

Most likely it depends on the parameters you are using. so, which parameters did you pick? I assume you are using some sort of online service, don't you? just check if you can alter the output frame rate.Syllypryde wrote: ↑Wed May 20, 2020 13:26 [...] Why does the .gif play so slow? When Dosbox records a video it puts it in .avi. Does the conversion from .avi to .gif cause this bogging down?

Your example shows Keen getting invincibility when going through a door that is already open (at which point it technically isn't a security door anymore as far as the code is concerned, just a regular door).
