Cool, finally! For a while the best we could do was patch in $00's at the beginnings of all of the words in memory, and have the player just press enter. Functional, but not particularly fancy. This will hopefully add a level of professionalism to Keen 6 mods/levelpacks. :D Now all we really need is ingame help for Keen 6 ...
Goodness, I never did post a patch like this, did I? (Mine is slightly different.) Good work Mink! I am sure many people will breathe a sigh of relief (I know I did, stupid window.)
Heh, the window doesn't really bother me. It always gives me a vague sense of accomplishment when I recall the name of a character off the top of my head.

Anyone else notice that the creature picked depends on what hour (Of a 12-hour clock) day it is?
I had not noticed this. I did notice that if you immediately re-ran the game, it gave you the same creature - but I never really put any thought into it. This is an interesting find.
It seems that the above patch is 'wrong', jumping part way through the code. This means that when saved games are restored, errors may occur. (Try loading a game where Keen is standing on a level in the level map, AFTER saving and quitting the game.)
A better patch is this modified one, can someone add it to the first post in the thread?

As is it there is no support for the other versions; CKPatch only works with 1.4 of everything. (And who would want to patch other versions? Occasionally this happens with Keen 1, more from mistake than anything, but there are no real advantages to using the ealier versions, especially not the CGA ones.)
