The '''MrBlack Pack''' is a full level pack for [[Keen 3]] released by [[User:MrBlack|MrBlack]] on the 18th of January, 2009. Most of the levels were designed by MrBlack although a few were designed by his brother lolsworth and cleaned up (usually for difficulty) by MrBlack. The pack was designed as a replacement for the original levels which many (including MrBlack) consider poorly designed/rushed. A large emphasis on theme/flavour is present in the MrBlack pack such that it really feels like an adventure through the Vorticon homeworld.

==Levels==

* 01 - '''Outpost''': Keen must infiltrate a Vorticon outpost from the treetops
* 02 - '''Introduction''': A straightforward left-to-right which introduces Keen 3 level aspects (tile themes, danger tiles, enemies, moving platforms)
* 03 - '''Waste Disposal''': A small industrial level which introduces the Ankh
* 04 - '''Vortower''' ''(featured right)'': The first extensive level with a higher difficulty than other early levels
* 05 - '''Vortibridge''': A wide level with water along the bottom characterized by the single moving platform which must be kept up with since it won't return
* 06 - '''Skyhouse''': A non-linear residential level
* 07 - '''Vortihouse''': A densely populated residential level
* 08 - '''Mine''': A long, difficult industrial/cave level
* 09 - '''Prison''' ''(by lolsworth)'': Keen must escape a heavily guarded Vorticon prison
* 10 - '''Big Silo''' ''(by lolsworth)'': A long, difficult industrial/military level with many stages
* 11 - '''Green Dangly Stuff Factory''' ''(by lolsworth)'': A large industrial level featuring many cans of green dangly stuff
* 12 - '''Small Silo''': A medium-sized military level
* 13 - '''Vortirock''': A small level where LOTS of Vorticons congregate
* 14 - '''Sewer''': MrBlack's favourite level in the pack. Utilizes the Ankh to its full extent in a watery maze.
* 15 - '''Vorticave''': A large cave level
* 16 - '''Mortimer McMire'''

''Notes: On the world map, Level02 has been placed such that you must complete it before moving anywhere else. Mortimer has only undergone minor aesthetic changes.''

==Trivia==

*There are no [[Foob|Foobs]] in the MrBlack pack because, during early design and level testing, the game would sometimes inexplicably crash when a Foob came onscreen.
*The title screen is part of Vortirock

MrBlack: Created page

Talk:Vorticon Mods

MrBlack:

I think there should be an infobox template for Keen mods. --[[User:Genius314|Genius314]] 13:26, 23 June 2007 (GMT)

== New Subcategories ==

I was just thinking: The number of vorticon mods that do not have Keen as protagonist is increasing. Should we make 2 new subcategories on this page like "Main character Keen" "Other main character"? --[[User:Keenfan|Keenfan]] 20:49, 26 May 2010 (GMT)
: Probably not a good idea to split up the main list on this page, however it's certainly a good idea to do it with wiki categories instead. These could show up as subcategories on [[:Category:Mods]]. -- [[User:Malvineous|Malvineous]] 09:14, 14 June 2010 (GMT)
:: I agree that we shouldn't tear up the table. But a generic phrase like 'not starring Keen' could be added in the comment column for all those mods, so that the table could be sorted. Another possibility would be an extra column named "main character" or "protagonist", subsequently adding 'Keen' or the name of the other character for all mods. If there are several mods with a certain non-keen character, the extra column might be preferable. I'm not sure if we need another category. [[User:Tulip|Tulip]] 08:23, 19 June 2010 (GMT)
::: Adding an extra column with the name of the main character is a good idea, let's do that. Wiki categories are fairly cheap, so don't be afraid of adding in new ones (just make sure the new categories are themselves categorised so that we can find them again!) -- [[User:Malvineous|Malvineous]] 10:22, 19 June 2010 (GMT)

== Unfinished Mods ==

There are quite a number of unfinished and abandoned beta mods in this list of mods. I suppose a category unfinished mods would help to make thing a bit tidier. All unfinished mods would be moved there, so you can see whats finished and what's in work (or abandoned) in one click. What do you guys think? [[User:Tulip|Tulip]] 12:39, 27 January 2009 (GMT)
:Yeah that sounds fine - probably good to have the unfinished/abandoned heading listed under each engine (so Keen 1 unfinished, Keen 2 unfinished, etc.) -- [[User:Malvineous|Malvineous]] 08:17, 31 January 2009 (GMT)

I am all for separating the unfinished and abandoned mods from the complete mods. --[[User:Syllypryde|Syllypryde]] 23:17, 31 January 2009 (GMT)

:Now that there is a sortable table, anyone who wants to "remove" those mods from the list can simply choose the appropriate sorting settings. For the record, I don't really lean either way about removing from this page those mods that haven't been released at all. But I am against removing "unfinished" mods that have actually been released in some form - simply because some of those are better than "finished" ones. [[User:Snortimer|Snortimer]] 07:29, 24 August 2009 (GMT)

== Table ==

I think this page would look nicer if the content was organised in a table rather than just a list. With columns for title, author and release date/year (if available). What do you think? --[[User:Grandy02|Grandy02]] 15:50, 30 July 2009 (GMT)
: Good Point --[[User:DHeadshot|DHeadshot]] 18:31, 30 July 2009 (GMT)
: Agrees --[[User:shikadi|Shikadi]] 22:15, 30 July 2009 (GMT)
:Okay, as requested. I made it sortable like the [[List of fan-games]]. I also added some more mods from Beyond the Pogo that seemed to have been missed. However, I think we need to make another separate page for levelpacks. [[User:Snortimer|Snortimer]] 07:16, 24 August 2009 (GMT)

== Missing Download links ==

Some of the mods don't have any download link, if someone has these mods, I'd be happy to upload them somewhere. The mods in question are the ones that have an empty download box in the table, not the ones with 'n/a', I know those haven't been released yet. Also Comrade Keen, and The Lord of the Rings have a broken link. [[User:Tulip|Tulip]] 21:01, 17 September 2009 (GMT)
:If you're interested in cleaning this up a bit I'd be happy to give you an FTP account on shikadi.net to upload all the mods, so they can be kept in the same place as the wiki itself. -- [[User:Malvineous|Malvineous]] 22:42, 20 September 2009 (GMT)
::Sounds good, I always fear some of these links might disappear one day or the other. If you need my contact address it's in the PCKF profile. [[User:Tulip|Tulip]] 14:13, 21 September 2009 (GMT)
:::Done, you now have FTP access (see my e-mail) and I've also granted you [[Special:ListGroupRights|sysop access]] to the wiki in case you need it. Good luck! -- [[User:Malvineous|Malvineous]] 11:02, 25 September 2009 (GMT)

Can't help but notice my Keen3 level pack is missing. Intentional or not? [[User:MrBlack|MrBlack]] 18:51, 21 February 2011 (GMT)
