Here we go, folks :)

Rules:
1. PC TR1 UB
2. Everyone is to post final stats screenshot for every level (if you go no-scratch, post life bar also). Better post them all in one post (i.e edit your first post with screens).
3. Let's limit screenshot size to reasonable 640x480 or even less - make it big enough to see the stats
4. We prefer not to set ending limitation, so just try to keep running along with others. Come and check people's progress. So generally no ending limitation

Generic limitations:
1. No medipacks (or as few as possible).
2. All secrets and all (as much as possible) pickups.

Participants will add their own limitations in their joining posts below in that thread.

Current participants list:

The deadline for joining the challenge is April, 10th
You're welcome to start April, 11th then...

Rules and list can be edited/added.

Good luck, folks :)

P.S.: I'd like to see Bokkie, Tomb Raider Master, DREWY participating in this one, if possible :D

*starts to cry*

My TR1, along with UB, still doesn't work. :( But I'll be happy to participate in all future TR challenges you're going to open. The fun is about to start then... :D

EscondeR, I will also go for all kills.
I'm glad Gabi will be joining the challenge as well :wve:

Anker!!!! :hug::hug:
Where the heck have you been all this time? It's so good to hear you will be participating.

Has the UB challenge already started?
I am having PC trouble atm. (hopefully not for much longer, though) and I still have to finish the TR1 challenge. But, yes, I am in! Brilliant, now we only need to get Neteru and Nicky on board and it will be like in old times.
Can't wait :jmp:

Neteru

Sadly, Gabi, TR & Unfinished business will not run on my computer. So I can't participate. And ...

:yik: Anker! My goodness. Long time, no see. Hi :wve:

Enjoy the challenge everyone.

:( One of the others then, maybe.
Do you remember TR4 challenge? :cln:

Why then... We could try eliminate this problem :)

Thanx for the "heads up", Gabi :hug: Date changed...

@ Anker: Edited :)

...erm [coughs]
sorry for unlawfully intruding here, for possible thread hijacking & habeascorpuslessness, for anything one can possibly feel sorry about :smk:
but I'm dead curious


what's with this obnoxious epidemics of TR1/UB morbidity around here :eek: ?

now if you haven't fixed it already, may I ask
just what's so wrong with all that in the end ? :confused:

Bokkie
29-03-08, 21:50
Although I was not participated TR1, I'll join this for sure :tmb:

I'll go with all secrets, no medis and pistols only :) I'll also try as many kills as possible and also as much as possible pickups.

Count me in, this is what I must participate (and finish) :D

Nicky
29-03-08, 22:14
I haven't installed any older TR game since I got a new graphics card last summer, so it will be intriguing to try installing UB and see if it works :D

If it does, I will most probably join. I'll let you know in time :)

Gabi
29-03-08, 22:39
Woot for Bokkie and Nicky!
Nicky, believe me: if I can install TRUB, then anyone can, certainly you.
Looking forward to having you on board :jmp: :hug:.

Anker
29-03-08, 22:40
Omg.

Net you have to join us!!!! :jmp: :wve:

Gabi & Nicky great you are in!! :hug:

Nicky
29-03-08, 22:42
Gabi :hug: and Anker!!! :yik: Good to see you, mate!! :hug:

Well I'll do my best, Gabi and I hope my PC co-operates :D

It's been so long since I last played a game, I may need some training :p

I can't. I have never been able to get TR & UB to run on my computer (AMD processor) and have never known anyone with an AMD processor to be able to get it to run either. Besides which, I just don't have the time to either try to sort it out, or play through it. But I'll still be watching you guys and enjoying it vicariously.

that's why one of the concepts is to get through this in as little time as possible :p LOLZ

Hmm... I have an AMD Sempron processor and UB works fine for me (albeit whilst running under Glidos). Or is it a specific AMD processor that it won't work with?

On topic, I'm tempted to join this one - I've always wanted to have a go at a TR challenge, and the short 4-level nature of UB might be just brief enough for my hopeless attention span lol.

Ha!
You've just known one, methinks :p

I gather this is sort of one of those cute unfinished business challenges the thread is about :jmp:

Now, one of the pc's I have floating about here is an Acer Aspire 1362 Laptop whose cpu brand is AMD Mobile Sempron 2800+, Win XP Pro SP2.
Does it fit in ?

Now, if you want, I'd really like to know what issues you have found, what OS you're using and what softwares (Glidos, dgVoodoo, windows' in_compatibility mode ... ?)

I really think there ought to be no insoluble obstacle (maybe) :cln:

Major headache fits if need be I'd be expecting from the graphics card and driver side, anyway.

LOL Quite! :D

Hmm... I have an AMD Sempron.

I knew I should have been more specific in what I said. I refer to AMD Athlon.

Ha! *really big snip* (maybe) :cln:Thanks for your offer gidierre, but I really don't have the time to look into it right now. :)

Good luck with the challenge everyone, I hope you enjoy it as much as I've always enjoyed the challenges I've taken part in before. :wve:

Thanks for your offer gidierre, but I really don't have the time to look into it right now. :)



hasta la vista, then.

But at worst you could always resort to using an emulator like Dosbox who little cares for the cpu specs, as long as it's fast enough :)

All AMD CPU I've dealt with run TR1 and UB without any probs, Net. So if your curiosity level beats your current work load, you can PM me Diagnose.exe (http://www.tombraiderhub.com/download/diagnose.exe) report and we'll try to find out the roots of your issue :)

@ gidierre: Are you in? :)

Table updated...

in the challenge, you mean ? Ah, no, thanks, I'm sorry.

I'll be in anytime to help (as much as I am able to) with Neteru's & Tomb Raider Master's problems, since I feel it unfair that their playing should be hampered so :(

1. PC or PS TR1 (PS players take screenshots with cam and post here)

I thought you cannot play UB on Ps1?

EscondeR
30-03-08, 18:05
^ Damn :hea:
The whole text was taken from TR1 arrangement thread, thanx for spotting this glitch :)

Nicky
30-03-08, 18:13
Well as it turns out, I won't be participating :rolleyes: The damn thing doesn't run, and moreover my PC seems to be enountering certain issues that I need to look after.

I will try a fresh installation of UB sometime this week, and then give you a definitive answer :)

EscondeR
30-03-08, 18:21
^ Feel free to ask in Tech Support any question you like about UB issues :)

Nicky
30-03-08, 18:24
Thanks :)

I have a feeling that fixing those issues will result in a successful installation of the game. Something was wrong with the command prompt (it was corrupted). I tried several fixes, but what actually did the trick in the end, was performing a System Restore. So I have my hopes up that the game will most likely run fine this time *crosses fingers* :D

EscondeR

Nicky
30-03-08, 18:32
Thank you :) I'll sure have to refresh my memory a bit concerning the installation of those games.

Nicky
31-03-08, 14:50
I made it work!!!! :jmp: :yah:Ha! :D

OK, so you can count me officially in.

I will play:

Pistols only
All secrets
All kills
All pickups (at least I will try to find them all)
No medis
No scratch

Gabi
31-03-08, 15:05
That's brilliant! I knew you could do it :tmb:.
Still a few days to go before the official start, though.

Nicky
01-04-08, 16:13
I'm scratching my head but can't remember if there is a way to stop the game and check your stats (before finishing a level, that is). Is there?

Gabi
01-04-08, 16:33
Not that I remember.
I think the first one where you could do this was TRLR, but I might be completely wrong.

Nicky
01-04-08, 16:35
Doh, I just remembered! You should press Escape, then get some different rotating menus. I'll check in a bit.

Edit: just checked and looks like you are right, Gabi. No statistics :rolleyes:

Can you use Dracman's patchs (not the cheats).

EscondeR

^ Anything that modifies original gameplay not (in exception of some bugs) can be used, so yes. :)

EscondeR
10-04-08, 05:36
Well... It seems nobody else coming...

We'll start tomorrow folks! With the current list ;)

Good luck!

10-04-08, 09:40
Just in time then to tell you I'm not taking part in the end... The game runs alright, but there's a problem when I try to uninstall the supplementary tools. I know there's probably a solution to this, but I really need the PC for work currently so no time for experiments for the time being... :)

Good luck to the rest of you!

EscondeR

Well... good luck with your work...

I may participate. I have never played tr1 gold so it will be interesting to see my time. Let me go see if i can run tr1 gold ...

I am not sure of the limitations, this is my first challenge so what are they?:D

EscondeR
10-04-08, 11:47
^ You're added :)
Look at the first post of that thread to know what generic limitations are.

stranger1992
10-04-08, 12:33
Okay cool :D I am going to have a little practice before i start. I had trouble with tr1 before getting it to install so i am glad now i got it to work. :)

Bokkie
