notes: |
|
|
Open-source reimplementation of the Commander Keen engines (Vorticon, Galaxy,
|
|
Dreams) and the Cosmo engine, by Gerstrong. Needs the original Commander Keen
|
|
data files from the user; the engine itself ships with a 876 KB vfsroot (UI
|
|
art, fonts, sounds) that is not a BIOS and is bundled with the binary.
|
|
|
|
For each supported game, Commander Genius expects a flat directory under its
|
|
"games/" tree containing the original DOS data files. KeenFiles::setupFilenames
|
|
(src/fileio/KeenFiles.h:36-57) names them by episode number:
|
|
|
|
Vorticon trilogy (episodes 1-3, Keen 1/2/3)
|
|
egagraph.ck{N}, egahead.ck{N}, egadict.ck{N},
|
|
audio.ck{N}, audiohed.ck{N}, audiodct.ck{N},
|
|
gamemaps.ck{N}, maphead.ck{N}
|
|
Galaxy trilogy (episodes 4-6, Keen 4/5/6)
|
|
same naming, {N} = 4..6
|
|
Keen Dreams (episode 7, "KDREAMS")
|
|
KDREAMSDICT.EGA, KDREAMS.AUD, AUDIODCT.KDR, AUDIOHHD.KDR, plus KDREAMS.EXE
|
|
(CExeFile.cpp:190-195 reads kdreams.exe to extract the Dreams tiles)
|
|
|
|
Episode 1-6 shareware and demo files are freely redistributable under the
|
|
Apogee/3D Realms terms; the registered Keen 4-6 and Keen Dreams data remain
|
|
commercial. CPatcher.cpp:129-140 lets a patch file override the default names
|
|
so GOG/Steam variants work in-place.
|
|
|
|
cosmos engine (added as a git submodule by the build) looks for Cosmo's
|
|
Cosmic Adventures data (COSMOx.STN, VOLUMES.STN, etc.) using the same
|
|
directory-per-game layout; those files are not profiled here because the
|
|
cosmos sub-engine is a separate upstream (Dringgstein/cosmos, pinned to
|
|
8497b5696c92b13ede4f5ad01dfb577b208404cb by cgenius.mk).
|
|
|
|
Game directories are searched under the user's roms root. The engine then
|
|
loads from vfsroot/global/ at startup (fonts, trophy UI, generic sounds),
|
|
which is bundled with the install, not with the Keen data.
