v0.0.7

🕹️ omnispeak-ap v0.0.7 — Pointsanity support

This is the game client — a Commander Keen engine that plays Keen 4/5/6 and talks to Archipelago. This release teaches it about pointsanity.

✨ New

• Pointsanity. When you grab a 5000-point pickup — an Ice Cream Cone (Keen 4) or Bag O' Sugar (Keen 5) — the client now sends it to Archipelago as a location check.

🐛 Fixed

• Keen 5 ending no longer strands your goal check. The AP client keeps polling through the galaxy-explode ending sequence and the "Game Over" wait, so a momentary connection hiccup at the finish line can't leave your completion check stuck in the queue.

🔧 Under the hood

• Per-pickup instance tracking moved off obj->user4; info-layer tiles are preserved through the pickup scan; pickup toast dropped to match the extra-life pattern. Added dump_clip.py for static level-geometry inspection.

Highlights

The headline feature is Flasksanity & Kegsanity — every reachable Lifewater Flask (Keen 4) and Vitalin Keg (Keen 5) extra-life pickup can now be its own Archipelago location check. Pair it with the matching Archipelago-Keen v0.0.5 apworld and turn on enable_flasksanity / enable_kegsanity in your yaml.

This release also brings:

• 🪟 Cross-platform episode picker — replaces the old Win32-only AP Keen Launcher.exe. macOS gets a keyboard-navigable dialog; Windows gets a native TaskDialog.
• 🪧 Episode + slot name in the window title — handy for streaming overlays and window managers when you have several seeds open.
• 🏷️ In-game toast notifications — incoming items, outgoing sends, and DeathLinks now surface as on-screen toasts. All toast categories are individually configurable in connection.txt.
• ☠️ DeathLink — opt in via the apworld yaml; deaths from other players come in as a synthetic Keen death.

Install / upgrade

1. Download OmnispeakAP.v0.0.6.zip from the assets below.
2. Unzip it next to your Keen 4 / 5 / 6 game data files (*.CK4, *.CK5, *.CK6).
3. Edit connection.txt with your AP server, slot name, and password.
4. Run omnispeak (or omnispeak.exe on Windows).

If you only have one episode's data files present, omnispeak picks it automatically. With two or three present, the episode picker pops up so you can choose.
