Commander Genius FAQ
Commander Genius FAQ
I decided to create a FAQ topic for Commander Genius.
Feel free to ask us questions and we will answer, and if your question is good enough, we will include in our FAQ in the readme.
Q: When I change to opengl-mode, the screen turns white and I can't do anything! How do I change the mode back?
A: You can either delete "cgenius.cfg" or open it in a text editor and change it manually. Just put "opengl = 0" and it should change just that setting back.
The white screen means, that your graphics card doesn't support NPOT Textures. A video card with OpenGL 2.0 or later support should not have that problem.
Q: Commander Genius is slow! Please help!
A: OpenGL may help, but you must have a graphics card that supports NPOT-Textures. (OpenGL 2.0 or later).
Try to lower the resolution, choose a lower filter, or decrease some sound settings and see if that helps.
Q: When can I play Keen 4, 5 and 6 on CG?
A: We are currently working on supporting play of Keens 4-6. Keens 4-5 should be fully functional (although they won't be perfect) by the beginning of 2011. Keen 6 will be added a few months later.
Q: Is there an IRC Channel where I can talk to the dev team?
A: Yes, it's called #CommanderGenius on irc.foonetic.net.

Re: Commander Genius FAQ
About this, can't you detect NPOT support, switch to software mode if it was not found, and warn the user about it?pizza2004 wrote:I decided to create a FAQ topic for Commander Genius.

Wow look at me I'm lurking
Re: Commander Genius FAQ
Good question, we might be able to, but I don't know how. If I could find out a way to check for OpenGL version, and just tell it to not do it for version 2.0, then I would.DaVince wrote: About this, can't you detect NPOT support, switch to software mode if it was not found, and warn the user about it?

hey Rorie,
Commander Genius interprets your Keen Games without the need of dosbox which means it let's you play them much smoother, with better graphics at some part and other special features the original games never had.
It's like eDuke32 but for Keen
Just check out the videos from the Site:
