Patch:Level Entry Window
This page contains patches that affect the window that appears when Keen enters a level (Including the map, which happens when he exits a normal level, and when he dies and restarts a level.) In Galaxy this window contains the level entry text as well as an image of Keen himself over which a 'thumbs up' sequence plays. In Dreams this window simply contains the level names and a loading bar.
Keen Dreams is unique in that before the level entry text appears a loading window appears briefly. This window appears before many others too, such as when the menu is loading.
Window
These patches relate to the setup of the window itself but not the image sequences and text that appears in it. Those have their own sections.
Window size
The window has a specific size. Keen's bitmap appears in the top left of the window. (At 0,0). Note that in Keen Dreams there are no bitmaps and the window is also the 'loading' window. (See below.)

Playing demo level
This text appears in the Level Entry Window when the player is loading a level to record a demo in or the game is loading a level to display a demo in.

Disable window
This patch completely eliminates the level entry window. When entering a level from the map the One Moment window appears, but when exiting a level to the map the screen merely freezes.

Window has a different border
In Keen Dreams it is possible to make the level entry window use a different set of 8x8 tiles for its border. This patch is on the 'text windows' page.
'Thumbs up' sequence
This is a collection of bitmaps displayed in the Keen galaxy window. An initial image is displayed over which a series of smaller images appear in sequence giving the impression of Keen giving the player a thumbs up.
There are in fact two sequence; one displayed during normal level loading and one displayed when the level is reloaded after Keen has died and chosen 'Try again'. Both are completely separate.
Bitmaps used
Changing the sequence is difficult since it caches an initial bitmap and then several following it. All the initial cache values should match. If a frame is not cached it simply won't be displayed in the sequence, even though the sequence will take the same amount of time.
For display (as opposed to cache) the number of frames in the sequence is two less than what is cached (As, more correctly, this is the number of animation changes rather than images shown.) The first frame of the sequence should be one more than the cache start.

Position of 'thumbs up' sequence
The sequence of smaller images appears over the initial image at a specific horizontal and vertical location. These differ depending on whether the player is entering the level for the first time or restarting the level after dying. The first value is lower down if larger but the second is 'reversed'; the larger it is the further left the image appears.

No 'thumbs up' sequence
This patch removes the 'thumbs up' sequence from the window. This means only one, unchanging, image appears in the window.

Sequence always takes the same time
By default the sequence runs faster the faster a level loads.This patch causes the sequence to take a specific minimum time, no matter how fast the level loads. Here the highlighted blue value is the speed of each 'step' in the sequence.
Note that on slower computers this time will be added to the level load time, which will make loading even longer. This patch also disables some of the game's 'Ready press a key' data when its B800 screen is loading up.

Level text and names
Keen Galaxy and Dreams has individual names for its levels. These work in a complex manner. There are lists of level names, the location of which is controlled by lists of pointers, the location of which is referenced in the code. All patches that follow use the default values.
Level name color
This affects the color of the level name text. However this also changes the color of all other locations in the loading window. (Such as the 'options screen' text.) It is a 'reverse palette'; that is it takes the normal game's palette and reverses the color assignments. (So $00 is white, $1F black, $1E yellow and so on.) By default it is light red.

No text in window
This patch will remove all text from the level loading window, leaving only the bitmap.

Text position
The level entry text is centered vertically and horizontally, but there are two offsets. The first is a 'right border' that is by default 48 ($30) pixels left of the window's right side, affecting the text only. The second value affects both the text's 'center' and the thumbs up sequence (But NOT Keen's bitmap.), by default it is $30, the width of Keen's bitmap.

#Horizontal location of level entry stuff -Keen 6
%patch $6165 [$30] #Text center (Pixels LEFT)
%patch $616A [$30] #Text and thumbs
Pointer list locations
These are the start of the level names, where the list of level names are read from. They are in standard text patch format with one twist, there are TWO word values giving the location in the code minus the text start location instead of one. In the Keen 4 example below the text starts at $2EE70 so the level name list is at $2EE70 + $18F4 = $30764
There are two values for each reference because the level name pointers are 32-bit (Four bytes), meaning that two values each of two bytes must be read then added together. The first value is by default unimportant since all of those values are zero. (A side effect of this is that all default level names must be multiples of 16 bytes long.) The two values in each reference don't have to be anywhere near each other, but unless they are two bytes different this makes things a lot more complex.
There shouldn't be any need to relocate the pointer lists unless you are planning on adding a lot of extra levels and the default locations don't have enough space. There are three references, one loads the level entry text when Keen enters levels. The remaining two loads the level name when Keen dies and when the status window is displayed.
The Keen Dreams setup is far simpler, at least as understood at present.

Level Name Pointer Lists
The next step is the level name pointer list, a list of 32-bit values giving the location of the level entry texts and names. By default the lower two bytes of these values is zero, meaning the location of each text entry can be found by reading the first five letters of the patch. Thus the Keen 4 map name value of $1F040000RL points to the text at $1F040. This leads to the side effect that all level names are multiples of 16 bytes long.
There is some space in the level lists for extra levels, in Keen 4 up to six new entries are allowed without having to change the list location. (Just add them to the end of the default list.) This is important when adding extra levels as levels need text or the game will freeze.
In Keen Dreams things are different and simpler. There is no entry text, only level names and these are treated like simple text patches.

Level names and entrance texts
These are almost standard text patches. There is a program to automate patching level names, Startext. In the case of Keen 5 there is a special text displayed when Keen is 'low' enough on the world map. This is used to tell the player he is on the Korath III base.

High scores has entry text and name (Keen 4)
This patch gives the high scores level in Keen 4 an entry text and name. It does this by using parts of the level entry texts as level names, freeing up space for the high Score level name and entry text. This is useful for those who want to enable access to the high scores level.

Keen Dreams style window
Keen Galaxy contains code for a Keen-Dreams style loading window that contains a loading bar and level name but nothing else. This may be activated by using a certain patch detailed below.
Use window
These patches change the level entry window so that it appears identical to the one used in Keen Dreams; lacking Keen's thumbs up sequence and instead displaying a progress bar.

No name text in Dreams style window
By default the window shows the level entry text (Not just the level name) in red. These patches remove that text leaving only the 'loading' text in black. This can be useful as doing things like using the warp cheat can alter the text in the window as it appears.
