Help running a game:

[יצחק]

I haven't been able to activate this level set for years: https://keenwiki.shikadi.net/wiki/Keen_Asylum
I would appreciate it if someone could guide me how to do it. Thanks.

What sort of problem are you having? Is it telling you that the version of Keen 5 is unrecognized? Did you decompress the Keen 5 executable by using it with UNLZEXE (doing so should create a file called "KEEN5E.OLZ")? Did you run "GO5.BAT" on either DOS or the DOSBox emulator?

Have you read the instructions in the "Readme.txt" that's included with the levelpack files? I just re-downloaded Keen Asylum from the KeenWiki link you posted, followed the instructions, and it worked just fine for me. At least the following from the instructions should be followed:

To play Keen Asylum, unzip [l.dr_witherstone.k5.2003-11-13.zip] to a specific place, and copy
the following Keen 5 (VERSION 1.4 ONLY) files to that directory
KEEN5E.EXE
GAMEMAPS.CK5
AUDIO.CK5
EGAGRAPH.CK5

Unzip Keen5e.exe by
1. Dragging it over UNLZEXE.EXE or
2. opening a command prompt and typing: UNLZEXE KEEN5E.EXE

Play the game by running 'GO5.BAT'

If you have Keen 5, but it's not version 1.4, we do have upgrade/downgrade patches. They might be helpful, although I haven't tried any of them out yet, so use at your own risk. If you don't have Keen 5, you can get it for only a few bucks on either Steam or GOG.com.

I hope this post helps. If there are any problems you're having, please tell us about them! We're always happy to help!

Here is my screenshot:

There are all the files I needed to run.
Is there something missing there?
As usual, I pasted the executable to dosbox, (go5) and it didn't work.
In other levels I downloaded, I always stuck to dosbox, and it didn't work.
What did I miss here?
I was not able to understand what you sent.

You also need to add orginal keen 5 audio.ck and egagraph etc. files. Works fine with me! Good luck!

[יצחק]

לך זה עובד מצוין, ולי לא.
תוכל בבקשה לשים לי קישור של מה עוד אני צריך להדביק כדי שזה יפעל?

It works great for you, but not for me.
Could you please give me a link of what else I need to paste in order for it to work?

That link is to your hard drive, you need to upload your image somewhere online and link to there. I remember making the same mistake the first time I tried to share an image in a forum post... (back on an earlier (ezBoard) incarnation of this very forum, in fact)

מקווה שזה טוב:

הדבקתי את הצילום לתוך דפדפן באינטרנט, אם לזה התכוונת.
אני רק צריך שיגידו לי איזה קובץ חסר לי בקישור של השולחן העבודה, כדי שזה יפעל לי.
ואם זה יעבוד, אז אולי אצליח להפעיל עוד רמות שכבר שנים אני לא הצלחתי.
יש עניין גם לשלוח צילום מסך של מה שכתוב כאשר המשחק לא עובד?

Hope it's good:

I pasted the photo into a web browser, if that's what you meant.
I just need them to tell me what file I'm missing in the desktop link for it to work for me.
And if it works, then maybe I'll be able to activate more levels that I haven't been able to for years.
There is also interest in sending a screenshot of what is written when the game does not work?

For those who can't read Hebrew (me included), here are English translations according to Google Translate:

Quick question: Is English not your first language, יצחק? I'm sorry you couldn't understand me very well; I'll try to be very clear.

We can't see photos that are in your computer. Try uploading your photo to postimages.org and link to that instead.

Here's a photo of the files you should have:



The files I highlighted in red need to be copied and pasted from the regular Keen 5.

If the game does not work, please send a screenshot! It will really help us!

Hope this helps!

Hope you see the pictures. (there are 4).
I really only understand Hebrew, but for you, I used a translation.
I checked, and I have the four files you mentioned in red (I hope you can see them in the photos).
I want to thank you for answering me patiently every time.
I really don't understand why I haven't been able to activate old level sets for years, and the new ones can.
