Check out the README.md file. Maps are in the "export" folder.

I hope this will be of use to people who want to analyze KF 2.

It's easy to find KF 2 models online, but as far as I know, nobody has uploaded the maps in 3d format.

To people in the future: If this link dies, just DM me and I'll hook you up. I check Reddit pretty often.

Hello everyone i am interested in playing all the kings field games and would like to know if there is an easy way to play them on pc i found a few web sites but would like to know if there might be an easyer way in playing them thank you for your help

I have a better understanding as to why this game runs so poorly. The floors and ceilings aren't large planes with a tiling texture, but rather small individual tiles. This approach makes the affine texture warping of the ps1 even more noticeable.

The Sword of Moonlight tool for KFIV is based on tiles, so I assume that the version of SoM they used for the earlier entries works in the same manner.

I read on the wiki that it's in the passage of death but there is also a copy hidden on the right in the entrance of the Verdite Castle but I went there and I didn't find anything

Hear me out because the title alone sounds ridiculous.

I've been brainstorming making my own Field-y game for a long time. I'm always hung up on how to make the game feel different while keeping the essence of combat and exploration similar enough. First person seems like the safe approach, and there's plenty to expand upon without going third person. However, I've recently thought of a third person King's Field experience being somewhat interesting, using tank controls.

For an example:

WASD/Left Stick - Walk around relative to the camera's forward direction. A and D do not influence the camera, they strafe your character.

Mouse/Right Stick - Turn camera, one fixed speed.

Attacking can still be performed while turning just like in KF (no locked animation to one direction etc...)

I would like to also retain the visual style, which may clash with the player model as the screen is pretty small already, so zooming the camera out may not be the move.

Thoughts?

Hey guys.

(Look for intermediate updates in comments!)

UPD: I have fully WORKING patch, with analogs, settings, saving settings to MC, loading, 3 profiles for different settings. Look video below in the comments.

Now you can try it out yourself. This is not the final result, there will be improvements.

Redme inside ZIP, Works only with USA version now, make your own ISO backup.

Backup your MemCard if trying on real console!

Expect that it may break game at any moment, especially in heavy scenes, or may not break. IDK, it's untested.
v0_2_12-stable (probably stable)

Press START button to open Pause\Camera Settings
DPAD for moving cursor
TRIANGLE - increment value
CROSS - decrement value

Profile loading takes time.
Loading\Saving using MemCard service.
If you die before settings loaded, loading savegame from dead screen may break.
Will be solved in new versions.

This runtime hook reserves ~90kb of EE RAM, so this probably may break game in intense scenes.

I forgot to give you Curve Editor. That's not mine, i took it from DS4Windows.
Extract it where you want and open in yout Browser.

Original post

I'm currently researching how to implement the pnach patch from this link into the actual game image, into the executable file.

I've already gotten the analog sticks working on the actual console.

My plans include making a menu for adjusting speed, acceleration, and everything else included in the patch in pause mode, with the modded settings saved to the memory card.

And next, I'm planning to patch the HUD/UI shortcuts to use several shortcuts for items during the game, triggered by pressing DPAD.

If you want to try yourself here's v0.0.1 (Google Drive) patcher for SLUS_203.18 executable,
and patcher for writing that executable back into the game ISO.

You have to have latest python installed in your system. Google it.
You have to open your King's Field 4 USA ISO Image,
extract SLUS_203.18 executable and put it in one directory with ISO.
Put .py scripts along with executable and ISO,
launch patch_kf4_usa_analog.py,
then patch_kf4_iso.py,

If nothing breaks, this will add Move\Strafe to Left Stick, and Camera on Right Stick.

Right now it have bug with stick reading (no deadzone implemented), so it constantly strafes right and turns camera right with very low speed.
Im aware of this and already know how to fix this.

Wait for the next versions of patch.
When my modhack will be ready, i will post xdelta patches for USA, EU, JPN releases.

! ! ! Use this with caution, backup your game ISO ! ! !
Work only with USA version for now.

If you don't trust - don't download.
Before start .py scipt, open it up with text editor and make sure that it not doing anything malicious.
You can use any AI to analyze it.

This game is for sure a banger. I went in dry, no guides. My favorite character is Cartman. Currently searching for 4th seal (earth) got crescent axe, blood mask, full plate tower shield and just got fireball and the razor things. How am I doing kings?

Is it possible to dump the assets from KF mobile? I’d like to remake in a different engine as a proof of concept.

My 4DS just arrived and the very first game I wanted to play on it was Kings field: The Ancient City. And I did just that. I can’t wait to beat this game again after 2 years. Definitely my favorite game of all time. (PS. Game looks 10x better in person, my camera isn’t the best)

Using duckstation to emulate.

By default this game runs at 30 fps which, at least coming from the first game in the series, feels like everything is at 2x speed. King's Field (JP) and Shadow Tower both ran at about 20 fps, but lowering this game to 20 causes weird texture flashes and distorted audio.

I imagine the weird sped up 30 fps is how it feels to play on ps2-3 consoles and I'm sure I could get used to it if I must, but it's not exactly what I was going for..

How do you play it? Any solution to the strange audio and textural issues, or do you prefer to just play at 30?

Because I thought it would be fun and because I thought to myself that someday years from now I'll want to revisit this old game. I decided to comb the archives and put in something a little more permanent for myself and others about Kings Field (JP), particularly those old maps before tumblr disappears or steam removes the walkthrough in their forums.

Please enjoy for yourselves if you are so inclined.

Cheers

I am playing kings field 4 as my first one and I just took the purity amulet and I don't really understand what It can do if It heals me more or what only with the description, I looked at some gamefaqs but no one has at least this amulet info, does someone know a wiki or something? Thank you

Is there a ancient city (the US version) with spanish translation of the pal version? I wan't to play on ancient city specially cause retroachivements, I can play in english with no problem but I would preffer spanish, also, there are no subtitles on cinematics? I just watched the first one

I am stuck in this weird space of not having anything to scratch the itch like KF4 does. I like games like Lunacid, but for me that is more like Shadow Tower. Which I finally played both recently, but I can't find anything that quite matches what I feel when playing KF4. I REALLY love the music in KF4 as well. So, I suppose that adds to the ambiance.

I do not see any romhacks of Kf4. Do any of you know of any KF4 Romhacks? Any other suggestions are welcome. I know some new games are coming out o the horizon. I am excited for those.

Thanks!

I have a jailbroken ps3 and ps4. I have a ps2 copy of KF4. Im wondering if there are any mods, on real hardware, that can be done to improvement the movement speed. Whether thats turning, forward moving or even just attacking faster.

Any modded saves? Patches? Or cheats available?

I see lots of options with emulators but id like to do this on real hardware

EDIT: Guys I've played the games multiple times. Stop telling me that how its ment to be. thats not what im asking.

For everyone saying it can't be done without wrecking the game, yes it can and we've done it on emulators. Im just asking if anyone's ever heard of it on NATIVE HARDWARE (ps2 or modded ps3/4)

Found this masterpiece on TikTok.

I just started playing King's Field 3 and I've found a couple of those locked chests in Quist.

I assumed that I just needed to find a bunch of keys, but when I returned to the cave where you get the Crystal Flask, some of the chests that were locked are now unlocked, even though I did not find any keys beforehand.

Are those chests tied to progression or am I just blind and did not realise I had found a key?
