What is KeeperFX?
KeeperFX is an open source modification for Dungeon Keeper 1 / Dungeon Keeper Gold.
- It contains a rewritten game engine with improved AI and bug fixes
- It has high resolution and widescreen support
- It has TCP/IP multiplayer support
- It has support for multiple campaigns (Ancient Keeper, Burdened Imps' Level Pack etc.)
- It has support for 12 languages
Grab these:
Please make sure you are using the very latest Dungeon Keeper Gold 2.0.0.4 release from GOG.
You will need to download KeeperFX 0.4.7 Unofficial Complete.
0.4.7 Unofficial Complete Download (7zip archive)
It is also available on GitHub.
Thanks to the continued work from Spartahawk, you can also download the latest alpha build patch.
The patch can only be installed over KeeperFX 0.4.7 Unofficial Complete.
Alpha Build Download
If you have problems loading the game after installing the latest patch, follow the instructions listed in the troubleshooting section below.
Install instructions:
1) Install KeeperFX directly over your GOG Games\Dungeon Keeper Gold folder.
2) OPTIONAL: Extract the latest Alpha Patch into the same location. Overwrite any existing files.
3) RECOMMENDED: Browse your LEVELS folder in KeeperFX and delete any files that have the extension .FLG. These files often cause errors in the KeeperFX log and there is nothing to be gained by keeping them.
4) OPTIONAL: Create a shortcut to launcher.exe on your desktop for an easy way to customize the game options and change languages. You can also create a shortcut to keeperfx.exe, so that you can easily specify command line options that are referenced in the keeperfx_readme.txt, for example I'm using -nointro -nocd -vidsmooth
5) Run KeeperFX (make sure you run this program as an administrator) and enjoy a rather splendid and deliciously evil game!
Official support is offered on the KeeperFX Forum.
Music:
1) Edit your shortcut to keeperfx.exe and specify the command line option -nocd
2) In your GOG install folder, you will find OGG Vorbis files keeper02.ogg, keeper03.ogg etc. Copy these files into the GOG Games\Dungeon Keeper Gold\music sub-folder.
3) Enjoy the game authentically with music!
Fun extra:
Maybe you're a little bored of the English narrator and would prefer the in-game speech to be in Classical Latin.
1) Download the Dungeon Keeper Classical Latin speech file
2) Extract the file and rename it to speech_eng.dat
3) Backup or rename the original speech file in KeeperFX\sound or GOG Games\Dungeon Keeper Gold\sound (depending on where you installed KeeperFX)
4) Copy the new file into the sound folder and overwrite if necessary.
Troubleshooting:
I recommend that you read the keeperfx_readme.txt or the newer DKFans KeeperFX Wiki page as most of your questions will probably be answered there.

On the main menu, the cursor is the horned devil. Only the top left horn will interact with selected menu items.
The menu bars do scroll, you need to use the small up and down arrows at the top and bottom of each bar.
If you're experiencing a bouncy or shaky mouse cursor, this can be fixed by changing the SDL Video driver.
Append your KeeperFX shortcut to include this command line option: -vidriver windib
Alternatively you can specify the windib driver using Launcher.exe, under "Run options".
If you are not able to play any of the single player campaigns, it means that you have an incomplete install of KeeperFX, or you have installed the latest Alpha patch over an out of date version of KeeperFX Complete.
If everything has been copied correctly, your KeeperFX folder should be about 900+ MB in size.
If you are following these instructions for a non-GOG install of Dungeon Keeper, make sure you have the original Dungeon Keeper CD handy, as you will need to locate and copy the DATA, LDATA, LEVELS and SOUND folders from the CD.
Notes:
You can specify in-game screen resolutions in the keeperfx.cfg file. I have mine set to:
; List of in-game resolutions. ALT+R will switch between them.
INGAME_RES=1280x720x32 1920x1080x32 3840x2160x32
If you're new to Dungeon Keeper, keep in mind that you can zoom the camera in and out using the HOME and END keys, and also rotate the camera using DEL and PAGE DN. The UI can be toggled on and off with the CTRL+TAB key.
As a thank you, all I ask is that you have a listen to this.
If anyone has any questions, please feel free to ask!
Cheers.
