TR:A + Steam + Modding

[Elephant Rider]

So I recently got Anniversary through Steam. I hadn't played it and I was gonna play through it before I got Underworld. Anyway, I thought I might check out some of the cool outfits that people had made. I thought one day I might even try to make my own.

I was wondering if anyone got this game through Steam and had any luck getting TexMod to work with it? Because of the way Steam works, TexMod can't seem to find the right executable.

So I guess I have to use Tomb Ripper, which is cool, and it works. Is there a list of which dds files are which outfits? I found one for Legend, but I can't find one for anniversary.

Is it possible to change a tpf file into the dds files that it is replacing? How would I go about breaking that up to be able to use an outfit with Tomb Ripper instead of TexMod? It seems that most of the outfits are made for TexMod and I couldn't really find much for Tomb Ripper.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. If there is any way to open a tpf file and get the dds files from it that would be awesome. Or I guess if there's some way to get the textures out of a tpf file that would work too.

I would tell you my answer, but i'm not allowed to.

Basically there's only one way to get TexMod to work with Steam games, and it involves potentially illegal methods.

Cool. I understand why you can't post it here. Thanks for the reply. I'll do some searching and see what I can find. And next time I buy a Tomb Raider game, I'll make sure to get the boxed version.

So I guess my only other question is how to get dds files out of a tpf file, or how to get the textures out and create my own dds file... I've searched a lot and haven't found anything.

Awesome:D Thank you SailorTuarus. I got it to work. I just had to think about it for a minute :) Now I can actually enjoy different outfits in this game!
