    Well AK is supposed to be with the original settings, and FX uses modified settings. It may not be harder, but you may notice some off things.

    I see. Thanks for the tip. But since I never messed with mods and addons and anything else in this game, can you tell me how I either play this in the original keeper or modify KeeperFX settings for it?

    I noticed there's a cfg file for each campaign, shouldn't it bring the propper settings there? Or it doesn't work yet?

    To get the original setting there are quite a few files you'd have to modify. First off, all the creatures are modified. You'd have to find the file containing research, slabs, and the rest. Also, I believe the files are all opened in C++. Then you'd have to painstakingly rewrite all the old code into the new categorized files, but, yeah, it is possible. I'm not home other wise I'd be able to tell you which files, but good luck.^^

    hmmm that's too much for me. Not very good at programming for now.

    How do I play it with the original game then?

    *Facepalm*

    All you need to do is re-write the creature data. Perhaps some of the game data too (Inside FXdata like creature spells and whatever)

    FX's new data comes from DL's patch, so all you need to do is read the readme and you'll be fine. Well except for the dexterity fix, you'll need to look at the old creature data for that.

    If you were going to undo Mefisto's work, then why are you playing FX? Go to the normal DK1.

    Because normal DK1 doesn't work on everyone's PC nowadays?

    Get VirtualPC install windows 98 on it and you can play the game fine. That's the easiest way to play the game on newer pc's without modifying everything.

    Normal DK/DD and KFX al work stable as a house then, only when using the frameskip option the game might crash back to the desktop, but with regular saving intervals that isn't a big problem either.

    Man the 1st level in this campaign is tottaly impossible this way... only imps and one lvl 8 Warlock to fight against... I dunno, 30 or 50 archers...
    He who uses guard post 'cheat' shall be enlightened.

    Even then, its entirely about getting lucky enough to get an imp to claim the portal, as the Archers respawn via portals if your warlock kills 'em. Honest to god, you'll probably get close to attacking your computer with your keyboard waiting for the archers to give you the space to get the damned portal, but in the end, you'll be rewarded.

    With training and doing nothing else for 30mins :-/


    Epic boring map IMHO. TBH I didn't like most of Ancient Keeper because there was too much waiting. Anywho... off topic :P

    Heh, admittedly I canĀ“t get past Ancient Keeper either, so at least I don't feel alone now :P

    Oh, I rather suspect that it has to do with the fact that you start out with Disease and a warlock with Cyclone, but even then, and even if I dig all the way around to make them path longer, they still reach my dungeon heart, though fully diseased, with plenty of time to completely annihilate me :P

    EDIT: Just spotted the post above me.

    I feel stupid now.
