Screens-a-spinning

[CorbenDallas]

OK hopefully someone will be able to help me... Every time I run TR1 on my pc the whole game screen(including Lara herself) starts spinning like crazy making it impossible to play. Do I need a patch? If so then which one? Please help me! TR! is the only game I never played & it sucks let me tell you! Thanks!

hm, i've had this problem with TR3... that occasionally when i've started the game, the keyboard is somehow went crazy... i can't recall what i did to get rid of the problem, but i think i reinstalled it, replaced the gamefiles with older files i'd saved... sometimes a simple system reboot would do the trick... i will install TR3 and check if i get the same problem now!

CorbenDallas, Tomb Raider 1 is a great game http://www.tombraiderforums.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

And it's my favourite ;)

I think original TR is the easiest... (haven't played AOD!)

there are patchs on TRChronicles (http://www.tombraiderchronicles.com)

1.1 might help this problem... i found whenever this happens to me its because i've left my Gamepad Pro plugged into the game socket.
makes alot of old dos games act crazy.

i've emailed Core about letting me release my TR1 update for the TR4/5 Engines - as i just plainly can't play it even with Glidos on my GeForceFX :'(
might be time to dust off the PsOne sitting in the corner to get a lil nostalgic.

What kind of release? :confused:

You recreated all TR1 with Level Editor? :eek:

[TR-Player]

LOL! That must be fun!

[RavenLettan]

not so much recreated, just updated ... added colour lights, better textures, volumetrics.

gave it more atmosphere as a whole really, took like a week of solid work - but i'm not sure if releasing it would be like oki as i mean technically it would be piracy even though alot of the updates are my own.

well just have to wait for the word - i'll see about uploading the first 2 levels though over the weekend when i have time, that should be okay to do as they were released as part of the demo.

Cool stuff, Raven http://www.tombraiderforums.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

Do you have the "demo" download link, so we can see how it looks?

[Avada]

yepp, that would be fun! http://www.tombraiderforums.com/images/smilies/hug.gif

I got stuck in the 15th level and can't play it anymore - playing LARA only containing of squares is no fun at all...
(xp's crashing (even with glidos) and 21" monitor...)

alrighty i'll upload a demo later when i get home from work http://www.tombraiderforums.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

[Bokkie]

We appreciate that, Raven http://www.tombraiderforums.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

oki well i've got home and i realised how i'd set this all up...
i've gotta do some editing to only have the first few levels, and i want to replace some models as well.

currently is at 7mb for both of them, probably end up around 10mb ... and i'm a 56k so this might take a while to upload.

you ever have those days you feel like bashing your head against the keyboard over and over again?

i ended up going out last nite and having a VERY good night out :D
as soon as i got in this morning i tried to get the TR levels running, but it keeps crashing whenever you do a puzzle and not like every time, but 1/3 times you do it.

i have a feeling that Rviewer didn't translate the level properly... think i'll code myself something so that i can export into the TRLE formats, set it all up in that and re-export.
i'll keep trying the direct translation guys, but its not making it easy.

i'm sure i had a tool last time which took away alot of the headaches i'm having this time around.
