Qt is quite an enjoyable toolkit to use, especially with the built-in Designer which is reminiscent of building forms in Visual Basic, but a lot more flexible.KeenRush wrote:Interesting looking level editor there. Is Qt difficult to use? I'd need some GUI solution for a project or two.
I don't make full-package mods myself. as i'm not that good at programming. i can do some.Commander Spleen wrote:Vorticons is the best engine for Keen modding.
For me, Vorticons is much more appealing for modding because of its rawness and minimalism. It takes me way too long for me to get anything done on a Vorticons mod as it is, let alone dealing with all the extra features and details in Galaxy. I definitely appreciate the work other people produce with those engines, though.
I enjoy both the PC speaker and AdLib effects. They each provide a different type of atmosphere. Also note that AdLib music is now possible in Vorticons. There is also a one-button firing patch which I use in all my mods.
Vorticons ported to the Galaxy engine would certainly be interesting, but would be a whole different experience and the original games would in no way be rendered obsolete.
but the "patching" way is pretty much beyond me, as i for the most part have no idea what I'm doing <.<
And Textures and spriting is something i like and enjoy tinkering with.
But i'm also using a Photo-shop since i having prefer having Layers multiple windows ~.^
i guess i should seek out that "one-button firing patch"
No game should be obsolete on the PC Platform.
although, i can't say the same for games with online-only-DRM (or MMOs)
Oh, so you rather have "Galaxy" ported to "Vortiton Invasion" ^.~KeenRush wrote:Heh, pretty much all those points by Zilem are the reason I find Galaxy the lesser.

The levels and world map will have to remade of course and so does the tiles for Galaxy engine in isometricKeenRush wrote:Anyway, I don't see how vorticon mods could be ported to galaxy engine without excessive rewriting of most of the galaxy engine. Unless it's not important that the port acts like the original. I'd rather keep them in the old engine they were made for.
and changing the Sprite-cinematics into text and pictures ;p
Although, i don't know about is the Yorp & Enemy behavior and the Pogo-sick disabling till you pick it up, a Fail state for episode 2
The Robot you can stand on, Ice scating, Ice Caoonon & ice entombment, The knockdown from Vorticon cubs, the furball running away from you
some of the required patch code might already be available
i just think. it could be an interesting community mod ;p

by reference to that, I'm pretty much thrilled what DrColossus has to say about all that. without intending so spoil anything, I think I can advertise that something formidable yet splendid is in the offing...Zilem wrote:The levels and world map will have to remade of course and so does the tiles for Galaxy engine in isometric and changing the Sprite-cinematics into text and pictures ;p

So at least I'm in a flurry of excitement.

Well, I still do Keen 1-3 mods, since I like the simplicity of them and how small they are. I am currently working on a Keen 3 mod.
