Look what I found in bigfile.004 with the Tomb Ripper!
http://img317.imageshack.us/img317/8228/iviewcapturedate09042006time15.th.jpg (http://img317.imageshack.us/my.php?image=iviewcapturedate09042006time15.jpg)
I replaced the original files (3723. 3724, 3825, 3826 in bigfile.004 and 2 others in bigfile.002) with that one and I can say It looks very sexy:D .
The only problem is that this only works with next gen enabled. When I deactivate the Next Gen mode you can`t see this texture. :(
Can someone help?? (maybe HEVON).
I want to see this texture in normal mode, too. Or are there others which I forgot to replace?
Next Gen Mode:

EDIT: Found another alternative skin for the black dress (with a golden dragon) and the standard Legend outfit. It is very simple. Just replace all DDS files of the standard Legend outfit (normal, british flag, pink, black or blue; depends on which outfit you want to replace) or the dress which looks similar to the alternative ones. But this time it is NORMAL MODE ONLY. In next Gen, the Textures don't work.

UPDATE: Some new sexy Dress Recolors and Skins are available now (with readme file). Only Normal Mode Textures now. Feel free to edit, comment or request! Most of the screens of the recolors are in the Thread (see Page 11 & 20 and some more)
UPDATE: TLR Online is providing some Webspace for us to upload the coming Mods and Textures for you all. First I wanna say Thanks to TLR for supporting us.
UPDATE (02/05): New Download Site available!!!!!!
Elen spent some time to create a new Skinning site with Downloads and Tutorials. Now you can see screenshots of the Outfits you want to download.
Thx to Elen for putting a lot of work in this site!
YOU GET ALL THE FILES HERE: http://www.tombraiderhub.com/tr7/modding/index.html
If you want to share your work, please post some screens in this Thread and send your files to Elen. You find her E-Mail on the Site. Take a look at "Submit your Outfit". It would be nice of you to include a small readme and some Ingame Screens (Front and Back) in each package. Its enough to write down the texture numbers which have to be replaced with your changed ones. Thx
No Topless & Full Nude Skins allowed!!
NEW UPDATE (30/05): I made a little clothing Patch for those who can´t work with the ripper or those who are too lazy to replace the files. It includes the outfits I have installed on my system. (made by Tansy, Yak, Cyberfish and me). You get the Patch and the screenshot of the outfits here: http://www.tombraiderforums.com/showpost.php?p=952622&postcount=1669

It's amazing! Good Job!But I'm really sorry i don't know how to help you!
Edit: Maybe you've edited next-gen textures...
they are 16 file to change not 6 ;)
Edit: Maybe you've edited next-gen textures...
That's a possibility. But I didn't find any other textures that looks the same or I just didn't see them.
they are 16 file to change not 6 ;)
Can you please tell me which files I must change. I would really appreciate it. Thx for the fast reply Hevon
the next gen texture are different than the normal texture ^^ not the same size and place. i try to make a list of the texture with the number.
ex:
Laralongblackdress:
1473.dds
1475.dds
1476.dds
They are a lot of file ~_~
Oh this seems to be really complicated. A lot of work to do. Do you think it is possible to get it to work in normal mode? I still have problems to replace the original files with changed ones, because the ripper always tells me that the file is too large :(

Very cool!! :tmb:
i have make a outfit of the longblackdress its now a japanese dress ( red with dragons :) ) and need to change 10 files for seen verywell the skin in normal mode and in next gen.
Hevon i would like to see the skins you've created, i read somewhere that you've made some special outfits, i want to see!!! :p
Oh It's getting more complicated. The normal mode leg textures seems to be splitted. That isn't fair :(
With which options must I save the Files, to copy them in the bigfile without an error of the ripper?
Wanna see that dress, too ;)
Where is the program that we can use to edit skins(the program that searches in the bigfile....)
LOOK AT MY EDITED FIRST POST GUYS!
I think the red dress is actually nicer than the black one, it looks cooler and stands out more against the night sky of Japan :D
have you figured out which textures are used by the snowsuit and the classic outfit? i created new skins for those, but can't find the right textures.. thanks!

In Lara's flashback level you get to play her in her classic appearance even with her hair braded. But even after you unlock ever outfit you still never get to play her with her hair braded I wanted to know if there is someway to get her to have her hair braded with all her outfits or just the classic one if you know how to do this please tell me.
I was thinking you would have to either change some files around or make a skin for it but I don’t know anything about this If you can help me please do.
I worked hard today to get the new dress finished, but I have some probs. It's still in BETA status. Like I told you in my first post, I found some alternative Outfit textures which are already in the game. The ones of the dress only work in next gen mode, and I'm trying to get it to work in normal mode, too.
I found the normal mode textures of the dress (one alternative texture with golden dragon) and changed them what you can see here:

It was no problem to replace the texure on the right side, but I can't replace the other texture because the program tells me "File too large" :mad:
Does somebody know what I can do????
Here are some BETA Ingame Pics (all normal mode. you see next gen in my first post):

Maybe I can send someone (HEVON??:D ) the dds file, so that he saves the file in a compressed format or with a less number of mipmaps so that I can replace it. Or just tell me what I must do to get a smaller file.

Keep up the good work, too! :tmb:
you can send me the files ;) np
I try to fix it a little and send you the Files maybe Monday or Tuesday. Do you know how the leg textures of the unripped dress look like?
Do you want the DDS Files or the PSD Files?
Thx.
Please PM me your email.

I don't understand all that's being talked about here... it sounds like something that can only be used on the PC version--with some hacking or whatnot. Hopefully these cool outfits, which I also assume aren't unlockable normally (or why bother with all this) will be downloadable on XBox LIVE in the future!
the archives contain dds, tga and shp files. can someone tell me what these .shp files are?

Well the younger version of Lara uses a different mesh to the older version (hair style is different). So unless someone managed to get that mesh into the main game and swap loads of files around (could be stressful), it could be done...he says

I can't help you, sorry. I can barely handle Textures, but Meshes are like another world for me. I'm sure someone will do this but it needs time. The game is only 2 days old, so be patient. Try to open a thread about this in one or two weeks. maybe more people can help you then.

A few days ago (i think it was april 5th) Racer_S posted his little program Tomb Ripper Legend v1.0b to extract and replace the texture data in the bigfiles. It's still buggy but it works, what you can see ;) Just search the forum and you will find it.
Now i'm confused. I changed a lil bit of the skin and wanted to check it in the game, but the game crashed and i can't start it anymore. I have some backup files, but I don't know why it doesn't work now. :confused:
Let's see tomorrow. Good night
yep its normal.. if you change a lot the file that make the file damaged that why i write in the notepad what number i change and have a copy of the bigfile i have change :)

I made the textures work again, now in the showroom and with red dress, too.
Still the feet are missing and the legs need some fixing, too, but I try to finish it till the next weekend (maybe earlier, depends on how much time i have).
I'll upload the whole textures and a readme then.

@Hevon: What are MIP MAPS for? I know that they have something to do with displaying the textures in distance. I saved the feet dds file without mipmaps to get rid of the "File too large" error and it works without problems (even in some distance) :jmp:
But is it bad to save it without them????

MIPMAP are for the low machine ( small texture ) and (or) for a best speed when the computer load the texture at a long distance in low size.
That can be bad perhaps.. i need to try a lot of format :)
Hi
I have photoshop 9cs2 and paintshop 10 but i cant get the dds files to load what program did u use to edit them ??

@hevon: i use the texture without mipmaps now, to tune it and fix it. But when I am finished, it would be nice of you to save the textures with mipmaps (to exclude problems) so that i can replace them. I still have the "file too large" prob. I'll send you a link then via PM, or maybe you send me your e-mail.

Sorry for pushing down your hope, but I don't think it is that easy to get stockings on the ripped dress just by changing the feet textures. You'll have to change the meshes to get a good looking version, too, but I don't know how to do that. I'm not an expert in such things.

naah :o
"MIP Mapping is an approach to texture mapping in which an original high-resolution texture map is scaled and filtered into multiple resolutions before it is applied to a surface. (MIP stands for the Latin multim im parvo, meaning "many things in a small space.") When a MIP Mapped texture is used in 3D rendering or real-time 3D displays, the texture can appear in full detail if it is seen in a close-up, or can be rendered quickly and smoothly from a lower MIP level when the object appears smaller or further away. MIP mapping saves processor time and improves anti-aliasing by allowing the computer to start with pre-filtered, pre-scaled textures at the most appropriate resolution for each frame. Usually, powers of 2 are used for the MIP Map levels, such that if the highest resolution were 1024x1024, the next levels would be 512x512, 256x256, 128x128, sometimes all the way down to 8x8 or 1x1 images."
but it's ok to save your dds files without mip maps, they will still work. any idea what the tga files are for? they are all just plain white, no masking.. Oo
Thanks Vexator and welcome to the forum. :wve:

its what i said .. first its usefull for low computer because when you config your system the game select a small mipmap and for the other i said ( for a best speed when the computer load the texture at a long distance in low size. :D

what you're thinking of a smaller texture resolutions to save video memory, but that'snot what mipmaps are for. whatever, let#s get back to topic.. :cen:
anyone found out what the tga's are for? and some idea which modellers can import those shp files?

tell you what programs will open shp files
its an shp compressed file ( protected ) ^^ the original shp are not compressed

After a few probs again, I think the textures are ready to share. There is still no black line on her feet (don't know why) but i think it looks good without it, too. I concentrated on the normal mode textures but there is an easy way to get it to work on next gen, too (the textures are already in the game. only replacement).
I'm searching the numbers of the next gen files tomorrow, to write a readme, so that everybody (hopefully) can replace the textures. But I don't do this if nobody is interested in it. So tell me that there is interest and i'll upload it. I don't want to write a readme for nothing, that's why i'm asking.

After a few probs again, I think the textures are ready to share. There is still no black line on her feet (don't know why) but i think it looks good without it, too. I concentrated on the normal mode textures but there is an easy way to get it to work on next gen, too (the textures are already in the game. only replacement).
I'm searching the numbers of the next gen files tomorrow, to write a readme, so that everybody (hopefully) can replace the textures. But I don't do this if nobody is interested in it. So tell me that there is interest and i'll upload it. I don't want to write a readme for nothing, that's why i'm asking.

Yup i'm ready for help and for sure upload my skin too but they are a lot of file and need to look and write the number of the correct file one by one.
I work on the mesh too. ;)
Thx Hevon. Sure it is a lot of work, but once you've done it, you can do a lot of things faster. I need to look at the numbers again, too. (wrote down only the important 20 or 30 files of the dress) There so much of them :(
I think it's funny the developers put some alternative outfits in the files.
Do you have Problems with the new Tomb Ripper Version, too? It destroys my bigfiles, when i want to replace a texture with one that has no Mipmaps.
Can't wait to get your amazing dresses :tmb:
hi can you tell me the important 20 or 30 files of the dress files
and the Mipmaps ones if u know
i Problems with the new Tomb Ripper Version, too? It destroys my bigfiles too :(
Check your PM.
Mipmaps are included in the dds files. You don't need to change them.
So im not the only one with the ripper prob.

Asking the question one again. Now that you guys are just about finished with the skin for lara's leg outfit.
Can you please see if you get it so you can play her with her hair braided?
no its a different mesh and more difficult to change than the skins, that need a lot a work and search in the 30846 files.
Just need to wait.. and its the same for the level editor i work a lot for have a chance to create level for TR legend

Very nice, Hevon :) Love the Goth one! Wish it was a real cossie! Where did you get the meshes for the top ones because no coustume in the game has them from what I've seen?
its just the mesh of the Legend outfit ^^

do they work in normal mode? because if they do i will be inertrested in them
Read the text I wrote carefully. Normal Mode and Next Gen will be available. First it was only a Next Gen Texture (already available in the game. Look at the First Post) which I made working in normal mode, too. It was a copy and paste thing but it took much work to get the right textures and the right positions to make it look good. I made 18-23 different files (and always replaced the old ones, which took some time, too) to make it look as good as possible.
Nice one Hevon.
Hi guys
ok ive know sorted out lara and the other Characters and backgrond and the wepons aswell im know going to make a small web site so we can send files to each other easyer as well the web page will be up and running within 5 hours....

That is a good idea hangman. If I have time I will finish my texture package of the new sexy legs dress (with screens and big readme) today. I'll post a download link then. You can upload it to the page then for people who can't download from Rapidshare (There seems to be some out there)
ok for the time being ive made a group on my yahoo account so people can download files from there and add stuff and talk on the form on there to LINK
http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/trlstore/
I finished the readme and the package. But I need 1 or 2 volunteers to test it (Textures, Readme etc.) before I'll post it here. Anyone?
You'll get the link via PM. Don't PM me, just write in here. I'll choose the Beta tester but please don't flood the thread. I'm only choosing 1 or 2 of the first 3 replies. Be patient. It will be up for everybody soon.

I can test it for you.:)
me too, but no next gen mode over here
me i cant ^^ very busy with all the file :s
Tkone
the link did not work
ok tested them and all work..
good work :)
ok i've tested now one dress (Black dress with sexy Legs)
first off all i wanted to say that TKone did an amazing job!
I'll test the rest after this post, but i thought i didn't had to let him wait that i think they all work. and the result is awsome!
in the file i got was a very clear read-my file. if i got those files and the program i never ever would know how to get them work, you have to replace some files, but it's all very clear if you ask me. the first time it will be a little bit difficult i guess but that's because you have to replace 8 files in the tomb ripper, but he all explains it very well and even with examples.
he asked me to post some screenshots of how it looks on my machine ( i don't have next gen so it even works without it!) but i want to point out that i have a laptop with widescreen, so the pictures all look a little bit to small (i have widescreen option enabled and for some reason my snapshots are still no widescreen, so it's a little bit out of shape)

http://www.student.kuleuven.ac.be/~s0107272/TRL/3.JPG
like i said, i think he did a great job and there's nothing more to say actually, i'm now going to test those other skins and i hope for all you guys he releases it soon!
keep up the great work TKone!
For who don't have photoshop, you can use this little freeware which seem working well with tr7 texture : http://www.mnwright.btinternet.co.uk/programs/dxtbmp.htm
It also handle alpha channel & mip levels. (In theory, for the moment I've just used it to edit and repack a texture to the game successfully)
--------------------
About shp meshes, any viewer or editor available at this moment ?
TKone, tomb ripper should work with those 0 mipmap files now, i updated it yesterday a bit quietly
http://tocaedit.com <- you'll always find the fresh version here
shp is a custom format from crystal dynamics, i made up the extension so dontexpect to find something that opens it
The new sexy Dress skins which I made (some of them) are available now (with readme file). Only Normal Mode Textures now. Next Gen will Follow.
Click on "Free" Button, wait 25 secs, type in the code which appears immediatly and click "Download". No Download Managers supported, so download with standard browser download.

Rapidshare seems to be busy at the moment. Maybe someone can upload it somewhere else. I edit my Post with the alternative link then.
You can add it hangman, but I don't think I´ll join this group. Last time I joined a Yahoo Group (3 years ago) my E-Mail account was full of spam. Don't wanna have that prob again.
ok cool once the web site is up ill post it here...
and the file is uploaded at TRL STORE
Thanks for testing hangman & TiVA :hug:
not a problem man! it was an honnor to test it!!
i have a question for al those editors, is it also possible this way to replace the amanda skin by the bikini skin? cuz i hate that amanda skin and would love to play the game in that bikini mode :cln:
i would say it could be done just need to sort out what gose where ;)
lol, than i skip it myself, lol, i think i would go crazy searching in all those textures :D
when u save a dds file with photoshop
it come up with alot of ways to save
what did u do to save it
ive saved all the textures now and sorted out the Characters and backgrounds in diffant folders
i will up load what Character people want i dont know what one r next gen but some one can sort that out :)
if you want the uploaded then ill put them onto TRL store..
ah! then i would like the amanda and the black bikiniskin :p maybe i could give it a shot to change them (if those numbers are still the same i should be able to find them and replace them ;) maybe... cuz i still think its hard then...
i dont know ill put them all in a RAR file and put on a upload and ill post it here in a bit
just a quick one from me here, i was only messing around a little with that trl_texmod, hair is way too bright and unlife like, but its only for fun :D
http://www.ppawlowski.freeserve.co.uk/trl/blonde.jpg
gave her blue eyes, eye shadow and a brighter red lipstick lol
i know its crap, just thought id post something though ;)
ok here is all the amanda files i think

I know i asked this question before but different day different Idea's :)
Geck-o-Lizard
11-04-06, 19:37
Wow! I never knew you could do this! Your custom outfits are brilliant. I definitely have to have a shot at this myself. :D
I've got Photoshop, I'll find Tomb Ripper somewhere, anything else I'll need as well as that?
if you can find tomb ripper from the guy that made it on this thread look at page 11 u should if it that about it
@ hangman, do you maybe also know which files are from the bikini?
No sorry i dont may someone will
i have make a skin for amanda with a best color , an other color of hair and indian clothes :).When i have the time i upload all.
ANd for amanda in bikini its possible only for the top.
thanks for the reply hevon, but i don't want to play with amanda, i actaully want to replace the amanda skin in the game by the bikini skins for lara, so that we can play with those bikiniskins in the game, cuz those amanda skins i really don't like that much
Back again.
@hangman: I saved the dds files with no special options. Only when the ripper told me that the file is too large I saved without mipmaps. It's not bad, what you can see at my skin. It works. It's only a performance thing, but it's doesn't kill your performance because of a few textures. But I think its better to save it with Alpha ARGB (1 bit Alpha) Option. Don't know.
@Geck-o-Lizard: The Ripper Link is in the readme file of my outfit. Wait a sec.
Here it is: http://www.tombraiderforums.com/showthread.php?t=59267
@TiVA: I have a few bikini numbers: 4418, 4417, 4507, 4481, 4480. That's not all i think. I just saved them to work a bit with them.
@Hevon: Can't wait to get a look on your skins. Amanda will look funny as an Indian Girlie lol ;)
@MrNoobles: Nice one but I prefer brunettes ;) This trl_texmod.exe you talk about, always gives me a virus alert, so I didn't use it. The Tomb Ripper is much better (and without virus alerts)
It seems so that we'll have a lot of fun with the game even after playing it through. :D :D ;)
My file was downloaded 21 times only. MORE PROMOTION GUYS :D
Is there any way to mod the game to get enemies inside the croft manor? that would totally be intense...
Is there any way to mod the game to get enemies inside the croft manor? that would totally be intense...
Be patient maybe someday it's possible. But at the moment we're only changing textures (and some of us Meshes) because it's a simple method to get a view on the game structure. I'm a beginner and I don't know much about this stuff but I got a working texture. Naturally the Game doesn't support modding that much like Max Payne for example. And since there is no level editor or other SDK tools from the developer ist is really hard to change sth. that big. Maybe it will be possible if Hevon is able to create (I dont have a doubt about it ;))a working Level Editor, but that needs some time, too. It sure is a lot of work.

I was going to try this out but i was afraid it will **** up my game, will it?
No No the ripper program lets u backup files
so u can put files back if the muckup
@ Lew: What do you want to try? The camouflage skin?? That would be nice. Just make backups of the files (bigfile 000-006 should be enough). If the game crashs you can easily replace the files.
@hangman: yeah nice site thanks. I will edit my last posts with this alternative download link. You could post some more screens on that page so that the people are knowing what they download. Just use the ones I put in the Package

why is it when the camera angle changes the new skin fades away and disappears?

anyone want to help?

I answered it on page 14. Just read carefully.
@Gecko: Thanks
@Lew: The bigfiles includes a lot of different textures, so they are just packed files. You don`t need to create a bigfile yourself. You just have to replace the textures you want to change. Download my Texture pack with the new dress outfits. There is a readme where you can read a lil tutorial how the replacement works with my dress example.
@djLaraCroft: Sorry I can't help you because I don't have the probs. Maybe it has something to do with the Alpha Channels. Hevon should know it.
@TLR: What do you mean with webspace? Space to download the files from??? That would be great. Rapidshare isn't the best solution.

If you want to share your outfits even with people who have no tombripper or photoshop it can be done easily by making a difference patch with Tola's Patching Engine for example.
Yust as an illustration I made a patch which changes the eye color, adds an eyeshade and red lipps.
Download it at: www.geocities.com/parallelmovies/makeup.zip

You don't need Photoshop to get them to work when you downloaded them (only if you want to edit them). tombripper is all you need.
But I`ll take a look at that Patching Engine Thing. Do you have a link???

Thx Webwude. Finally you found the Forums yourself :wve: I read your post in the other forum a few minutes ago.
For those who want to create some Camouflage skins:
I found a Photoshop Plug-In which can create Camouflage Textures with a few clicks. You can get it here:
http://photoshop.pluginsworld.com/plugin.php?directory=adobe&software=photoshop&plugin=249
its an shp compressed file ( protected ) ^^ the original shp are not compressed
Compressed ? Is that why 3dmax sais it is a corrupted file?
max hangs on the shp files from the ripper
btw I use 3dStudioMax V3

To Hevon,
Hi.
Just recently taken some time off and interested and getting a jump start in level modding for TRL. Truly, my goal is to add enemies within the croft manor. There are rumors started that you have already begun in a level editor, and am curious of your status.
I have already started delving into the code, to get a general idea, so that I can plan my technique. If you have already started on this, I could like to have the opportunity to work with you, so that it could be out as soon as possible.
Please, feel free to msg me back, and we'll get in contact via email.
Thanks for your time.
p.s. I will try msg you if you do not see this (I like to try the non-evassive approach first)
Ok , thanks all you can download my skin here (http://esnips.com/web/TombRaider)
@hangman , when I try to PM you , it say's that you cant recieve PM's :confused: , you can try downloading from my host & re-up it
@TKone , I'll try making a camo skin
Feel free to download my skins , if i have more , i'll upp them :D
I played around in Photoshop again and made a Beta Camo skin, but I have some probs now. Maybe Fragje or Hevon know a solution.
The skin is fading if you have some distance to lara. It only works when you are close to her. That prob didn't appear on the dress texture I made. What can I do???? And what can I do to get rid of her white Latex shirt? Has it something to do with the Bigfiles? I replaced all standard outfit textures from 000 to 007. Is this enough or do I have to replace more textures in the other bigfiles?
Here is the example (Look at pic 3):

Asking the question once again sorry if I'm getting annoying I just really would like someone to do this for me.
Has anyone figured out how to get Lara's braid bacK? :cln:
@racer_s: your new version does not seem to work for me.. whenever i replace a texture, the preview is just black. is the preview buggy or is the file nor replaced correctly?
It´s just the preview which is a lil buggy. but the texture is definitely replaced when it says "done"
Nice one , TKone , but I cant help you. :mad:

grtz
Just a quick 'in between' question:
What else do I need besides the Tomb Raider Ripper?
i really don't get it. no matter which textures i replace, i never seem to fetch the right ones. i wanted to edit the classic skin - i found 2053.dds and 2184.dds, edited them, but my changes aren't visible in the game.. :(
does anyone know which files contain the level data? and has anyone managed to open the shp mesh files?
@fragje: Maybe you can help me. It doesnt seem that the outfit you made is fading on your machine. So please tell me what files you replaced and what save options you used (with alpha, with mipmaps....?). Im interested in your outfit.
@vexator: If you want to change the standard legend outfit you must replace a lot of files, not only 2. In nearly each Bigfile (000-007) are some of the textures. I found around 30.
BTW: I made some recolors of the dress. Not a big thing, took me 10 mins. Its really simple with photoshop.

TKone that's because I'm using trl_texmod :)
cool recolor's btw :D

Then I´ll try it again. Maybe my virus program reacts too sensitive. Do you have a link where I can get it??? And how does it work??
You can replace the standard outfit only with it?
You can download it from Clicky (http://www.gamevixenzone.com/)
But you will have to register first.
Just put the stuff in your TRL folder and run trl_texmod.exe :)
If you have the textures I think that u just have to replace them :D

I posted before has anyone been able to get Lara's braid back in her hair?????
jtr you'd need to be able to edit the 3d mesh files i think.. so far i havent found any way to do this since they appear invalid to 3ds/gmax etc. ive noticed one person saying they played as the child version of lara + another person claiming to be making a level editor, yet no details about how they managed it :(
@ TKONE: make us happy and share those recolors please :D you are doing a great job with that editing of that dress! really love your work!!!!!
If you loved them you will definitly love THIS:

:D
Will share them soon, but I dont write an extra readme for them. You guys should be able to replace them by yourself after reading the readme which I released with my first package.
Any other color which you prefer??? I´ll make it.
huhu a lot of work with all my skin.
Well i think all can give idea for make some skin and outfit ;) and ONLY skin and outfit not the mesh.
My skins and outfits are out soon ;)

Can someone please tell me why it is so hard to get Lara's Braide back? I mean the information in stored in the game right? And when you turn Next Gen. on for the PC (Which I was personally really pised off because I can't play with Next Gen. Because my computer sucks) you can play her with her braide :hea: :hea: :hea: Why anyone would make it so she has her braide when you play it with higher graphics is a mystery to me. Anyway here is a shot of what I'm talking about I found in the forums a while ago it has her in Next Gen. with her braide......
Can someone just take it so you can play the same outfit below but on normal mode without Next Gen. and still have her braide ?PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f156/aodtr6/legend/11a.jpg
The Braide below:
http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f156/aodtr6/legend/11b.jpg
It can also be done with the white outfit:
http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f156/aodtr6/legend/12b.jpg
@Hevon: That would be great. How does it work? And what must I do not to overlay the details when putting a new texture on it??
@Jack: You're right, the information is already in the game but it isn't that simple to change a 3D Mesh. It isn´t the same like a 2D texture and needs some more information about the game structure. And what I heard so far is, that it is very complicated to change the meshes at the moment. It needs time. The game is out a week now and we have "just" the Tomb Ripper Tool. When some more tools are released maybe it is easier to replace the meshes, but i dont know it for sure because I´ll never worked with meshes before and probably wont do it in the future. But I hope someone will do it for you in the next weeks.
But once again: Be patient. I think you asked this every day now ;) ;)
TKone send me a pic of color you want and of the outfit ( texture ) ;)

@ TKone... i LOVE your dresses ;) purple one is really nice!!! i would like a blue one too though (like the sexy red dress you made, but in blue ;) )

I included the readme of my first Texture Pack again, because the replacing is always the same. Only with different files.
Feel free to edit, comment or request!!
@TiVA: Do you want a blue dress only or with (blue, black...) sexy legs (and arms?). Will make it if i have time. Give me a color example (maybe a pic). Dark Blue or Light Blue??
@Hevon: nice :D :D Just wondering how you do that with still the details on it.
Hi
Hevon or TKone can you tell me how to save the dss files using the dds plugin i get this up what do i do know ????
http://img98.imageshack.us/my.php?image=file6zd.jpg
vbmenu_register("postmenu_827588", true);
i have tried something with blue color..

does anyone know how to get the outfits shiny like the spy outfit she has that you can unlock?
yep just the light texture effect to change :)
damn guys... those outfits totally rock!
@ Tkone: it's amazing, the arms and those leggs... awsome man!!!! i would love to have a dark blue one, like the standard navy collor in html code... like this:
BLUE
and if it's not to much work, the "Sexy Purple + Arms + Legs" i really love! so nothing has to be changed exept the color of the dress, if you want to make it, i don't want you to feel that you have too!! but that would be awsome
@ Hevon: you're blue dress is also magnificent, i love dark collors like black and blue, so you're dress is also very nice, maybe also an rapidshare link for it? cuz then i could change the blackdress in the dark Tkone dress (if he makes one) and the change the red dress to the blue Hevon dress ;)
i should know how to change the texture files, so i would have enough by the new texture files (so don't need a readme if it's the same as Tkone's first dress)
@hangman: my saving options:
http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/6449/save3sv.th.jpg (http://img155.imageshack.us/my.php?image=save3sv.jpg)
@TiVA: Thx. Don't have much time today but your request isn't a big thing. Will work on it and maybe you should get it in the (early or late) evening today (GMT+2). I will add it in the recolors pack, so you must download it again then. I tell you when its available.
Hi, is the retexturing just a case of opening Photoshop, re-colouring them etc. and resaving them? I'd like to try this but don't want to do anything without knowing everything (Or a lot). Has anyone made a walkthrough and posted it that I've managed to miss? :D
Download one of my texture packs (Links in opening post of me). There is a readme which describes how to replace the textures of the dress. Its not a walkthrough but you should understand how it works. For editing in photoshop you need a DDS Plug-In. The download link is somewhere in this thread.
Just make Backups of the gamefiles and try out yourself (like i did). Nothing can happen if you backup your files.
Thanks TKone! Will chime back in with any updates from me :)
How can I create invisible textures?? I want to get rid of the white latex shirt of her standard outfit and I dont know how to make it invisible?
TKone i make a tutorial soon for the texture effect;) for the invisible texture ... the texture are not read by the TRL ripper
And all can continue to give idea for skins all are welcome.
Hey, could someone of you please make a Tutorial?
Which programs do you use?
Tutorial would be great! :)
@TiVA: I uploaded the updated package with a blue dress. hope you like it.

@ Phoenix87: just read the last post before you posted...
Hi Sorry to trouble you busy dress designers!
I've tried to download them too many times to mention from Rapid Share over the past few days but after entering the 3 digit code it just goes to an error page.
May be somthing to do with my :wve: security features.
Are you considering making them available for download elsewhere?
I wonder how many others are having the same problems.
The work is just supurb by the way!!!!!!
thanks

Lol I've done the same. Just edit its alpha channel.
Again, (because it seem that nobody read entirely a thread before posting on it...), you people can use a tool called DXTBmp, which permit to avoid using the heavy photoshop and the nvidia dlls. Re-read this thread for more details.

Welcome to our forum, ModMaster. Nice work :wve:
@ Phoenix87: just read the last post before you posted...
He's not talking about an overall Tutorial, does he?
Would be great if someone could do that, because I'm really interested in modding. :)
lol i think the only thing that has been done here is texture modeling, so yes, i guess he is talking about an overall tutorial what can be done up to now (i guess, i'm not a 100% sure, i've read the post again, but it's not that clear if it's only about the invisible texture or about all textures)
but how to model the entire game no one knows yet... it's too early, more programs has to been made etc... so if you wanted that, you have to wait a little bit longer i guess
@Richie 91: Welcome. :wve: Maybe TLR provides some webspace for the files soon, so you should download it then.
@byblo: Will try it. Do you know How I can edit the alpha channel in photoshop?

I believe its enough to replace the ones I´ve posted, because it works on my machine, too.
3849 & 5940 are the ones with the golden dragon and the game doesn´t use them.
yup sometime that can be next gen texture
I haven't read the previous pages. I have a simple question. When I run the program, I browse to the Legend folder. Do I have to wait for it to cache all 50 libraries?
New Recolor I made:

What is the english name of this color????? I dont know it and I want to include it in my recolors package
@Elen: I dont know. I copied bigfile 000-007 in another directory and let the ripper open this 8 files only. Its faster. I made another Backup directory with the original files if a file is damaged. Its some more work because you must copy the files in the main game directory after changing them.
@Hevon: I still have problems with the other outfits. The texture is always fading away when you have some distance to lara. Only at a close look they appear. What can I do?? Why this fading dont appear on the dress, too?
@Elen: I copied bigfile 000-007 in another directory and let the ripper open this 8 files only.
This is waht I do, but it won't work. I click Open and browse to the folder where the files are. When I hit OK, nothing happens :confused:
Copy the tr7.pdb in this directory. Should work then. Maybe the Ripper needs this file to read
a lot of tutorial can be make for explain correctly Step by step :)

Hi!
I've got a problem:
I installed the the nVidia dds-Photoshop-PlugIn and copied the files into the right folders (got the German version), but it ain't not work, I don't know why.
TKone helped me, but we can't find a solution.
Can you please help me?
Make sure to read my newest Update at my First Post on Page 1.
@Phoenix: check ICQ again
I'm not sure if this has been posted yet, but here is a tool created by Sai03 to rip the game's background music files:
temp host for the zip file (individual.utoronto.ca/skt/TRL.zip)
Install instructions:
Just copy this to game folder and run.
You'll need at least 2GB free disk space.

Notes:
- The files are uncompressed wav. I used VLC MP to play them: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
- It may not work for the demo. I uninstalled the demo, so I'm unable to check.

I dont have Paint Shop Pro so im not able to write a tutorial, sorry.
I believe it refers to the old Plug-In in which some dll files weren´t included.
Search your system for the msvcp70.dll and msvcr70.dll. If you have them in your system directory you dont need to download them again. They should be included after installing the new Plug-In version (march 06)
How can I create invisible textures?? I want to get rid of the white latex shirt of her standard outfit and I dont know how to make it invisible?

thanks for your help but I have accepted that I am doooooomed. doooooooooomed
Wait a second, is it possible to create a model with no clothes??? :D ;)
Nope, not with invisible textures. Lara only has one layer of textures on her, unlike, say, Sims 2 where everyone has two: A skin and a clothes layer and by making the clothes (partly) transparent you can get some interesting effects, they can even be semi-transparent (so called alpha levels). But it requires a lot of processing power so don't expect any of that in a fast action game...
The (only) alternative is to create a nude texture (I expect that's what you want) with.... well..... the "right" parts included, not very difficult (for a start one could nick a skin from sims2 for experimenting) but there's a serious stumbling block left and that's the 3d model, try running the game in textureless mode (great study in 3D modeling art BTW) and notice how the clothes is modeled on Lara, that'll show through the texture. The only candidate for experimenting would be the snowsuit/catsuit model without touching the backpack and the gunbelt. There's still problems though, there's probably some extra textures defining the plastic-like shine on the suit and a bump-map and that'll have to be right as well to make it look good...
Aah I love this thread! I love seeing the new textures you guys are making, its great keep it up! :tmb:
I had a go at some myself, the recolours for the dress work, but with the others I'm having the fading problem that TKone was talking about.
