All of the +original data files are required to do so, however the authors have +provided convenient way to download some of the games (choose "Game +Center" at the main menu). It's also possible to use the data files from +an installed copy of one or more of the games. + +Supported games: + +Keen 1 - Version 1.33 [*] +Keen 2 - Version 1.33 +Keen 3 - Version 1.33 +Keen 4 - Version 1.4 (EGA) [*] +Keen 5 - Version 1.4 (EGA) +Keen 6 - Version 1.4 (EGA) (version 1.5 known not to work!) +Keen Dreams - Version v1.13 (EGA) [*] + +[*] = downloadable from Game Center + +Other versions might work, but there are no guarantees. For the games not +available via the in-game Game Center, place the data files somewhere +under /usr/share/games/commandergenius or ~/.CommanderGenius, and edit +~/.CommanderGenius/games.cfg to tell the game where to find the files. + +commandergenius also has a HQP (High Quality Pack) with enhanced graphics +and sound for Keen 1 through 4. For Keen 1 and Keen 4, choose "Keen 1 +Special" and "Keen 4 Special" from the Game Center, to get the HQP versions +of the games. For Keen 2 and Keen 3, the HQP will automatically be used +if the games are installed to ~/.CommanderGenius/games/keen2 and +~/.CommanderGenius/games/keen3, with games.cfg entries like so: + +&Dir=games/keen2/keen2.exe +/Name=keen2 + +&Dir=games/keen3/keen3.exe +/Name=keen3 + +If you *don't* want the HQP to be used, use different directory names +for the above (e.g. ckeen2 and ckeen3). + +commandergenius can be built with either SDL 1.2 or SDL 2.0. By default, +SDL2 is used if found, otherwise SDL1 is used. To build with SDL1 even +if SDL2 is installed, set 'SDL2=no' in the script's environment. |
