    Default Keeperfx graphics and music

    For some reason keeperfx has worse graphics than dkgold, is there any way to change this?
    Also despite being worse graphics it is slower
    and the music wont work, also on normal keeper(it only has 1 option for midi driver and it is unable to detect it, i use windows xp home) is there any way to get around this?
    i heard the music on youtube, that's the first time i found out that there actually was music.

    DK1 and KeeperFX detect music from the CD drive and play that. And I don't think KeeperFX supports the Direct 3D versions that DK Gold has, so yeah, KeeperFX's graphics are not as good as those.

    If KeeperFX seems to have worse graphics than the normal DK, perhaps you're not playing the game in the correct screen resolution.

    Be sure to alter the KeeperFX.cfg file as explained in the Readme. You must be sure that you have these values inside the config file :

    FRONTEND_RES=640x480x8 640x480x8 640x480x8
    INGAME_RES=640x480x8

    For the music, you must have the DK CD. You must ensure that the CD is inserted into the FIRST CD drive (generally it is drive D:\). If you can't, either change the letter of the drives or temporarily disable some of them. You can also use Daemon Tools if you like, if you have a CD image file.

    Is it normal, that there is black space below the left menu when using 640x480x8?

    I tested it on 2 computers already. 640x400 works fine though.

    Yes, it's normal. But if 600x400 works fine, then that's better! However, if the graphics are worse, then it's NOT 640x400, but 320x200.

    Yes you can, using ALT-R. Be warned, some of these resolutions are experimental and may be thus unstable.

    Delete the 320x200 resolution from the text file. leave only 640x480 in there. Ones ingame pres ALT+R and the game will change to 640x480. If you leave 320x200 in there it somehow keeps going back to that.
