Releases and news

[DragonsLover]

I can understand awsdert a bit. Having multiple campaigns is good, but for all those that wanna play the original Dungeon Keeper ONLY, I guess it would be a nice idea that the other "unofficial" campaigns aren't included with KeeperFX by default. I guess it would be better to leave the decisions to the players. Of course, we can leave the campaigns there so that players could ignore them, but the additional campaigns cost in disk space (perhaps not a lot, but still). My suggestion would be to leave the additional campaigns for downloads so that players could make their choices. Also, another good thing about that: KeeperFX would be faster to download without those campaigns.
Yeah, the campaigns list would be a bit empty, but it would be reserved for downloadable campaigns. What do you think about that? It sounds a good idea for me.

And I don't think it would be that complicated... Otherwise, it doesn't disturb me to make a Lite version of KeeperFX.

That sounds about right, I mean could always start a forum section for campaigns and let the uploaders just follow a format for the threads they create e.g.
Thread Title: Campaigne
1st Post:
Download
Description
Then users can report errors and improvements on those threads whilst providing someone assigned to the task a place to gather all campaignes into a single zip file which would have it's own sticky like "Download all Campaigns" with:
Download
List of Campaigns included (Linked to appropriate threads)
Users can then post about campaigns missed.

Edit: Just thought to myself it's a pity KeeperFX is still on 16bit colour, is it possible for it to be updated to the more common 32bit colour?

The edited part is interesting

Different colour modes will be available in SDL version; it should be released in less than a month.

Next version of KeeperFX CCP will be released tomorrow. It contains all campaigns which were originally planned in CCP project - DK + DD + 15 unofficial campaigns.

More KeeperFX is always a good thing!

[Lasharus]

Whoohoo!

A quick question before I download it though - are my old save files (from 0.36) still compatible or should I just toss 'em out? :P

Also: Have the creature cfg files been updated accordingly per campaign already? I'm still itching to try one or two of the more unplayable ones :P

[mefistotelis]

Saved games from 0.36 will work.

Campaigns with own creature settings:

• Ancient Keeper campaign
• DzjeeAr's 6-level campaign
• Quest for the Hero

The creature CFG files are still missing for:

• Lord Vexer campaign
• DzjeeAr's 10-level campaign

If someone wants to make them - go ahead.

Note that spells and traps can't be customized per campaign yet - only creature parameters.
