Can you also upload sources of this on github?

Hi,
I'm not sure they even exist anymore. I'll have a look. ---- EDIT: As with the Legend SCU I rewrote the Anniversary SCU from scratch and uploaded the sources to GitHub: Release v0.0.1.0: https://github.com/ANoDE85/PyTRASCU/...s/tag/v0.0.1.0 Sources: https://github.com/ANoDE85/PyTRASCU/ Please note that I didn't test all the options yet. Feel free to fix any problems you find. Last edited by ANoDE; 11-03-18 at 14:50. |

This is fantastic! Thank you so much!
It's great being able to do a new, first-time playthough and choose any outfit for any level rather than needing to unlock them and being limited to only wearing special outfits when replaying levels. Replaying levels never had much appeal for me, because any artifacts/relics you already found are no longer there to be collected, which takes away half the fun. It's therefore much nicer to do a fresh playthrough on a new profile and collect everything. Also, this is really great for using TexMod to give Lara other outfits, many of which rely on other outfits like the Camouflage outfit. I hate how in the standard game Lara starts the first level wearing her standard shorts and bare arms, even though in the first level she's in the snow! (At least in original 1996 Tomb Raider you saw her arrive wearing a big coat, that she gets rid of when she fights the wolves and goes inside. That's one of the few areas where TRA does not improve over the original!) Unfortunately NONE of of TRA's default outfits look very suitable for cold weather - it has her TR2 wetsuit but not her TR2 winter jacket, despite Legend having it - but using the SCU and TexMod I can have her play the first level in her TR3 Antarctica outfit, which is a replacement skin for the Camouflage outfit from Angel of Darkness. Then I figure when she gets to the Lost Valley with the dinosaurs, can have her change into her standard jungle outfit, since it seems rather warmer there, what with the vegetation and so-on. By the way, I'm playing the Steam version of the game. To use both the SCU and TexMod together with the Steam version, I had to do a bunch of things. Here's my step-by-step process:

It's easy to reduce or remove the cinematic blackbars in TRA.
Using a HexEditor, search for "00 00 40 BF" which will give two matches. Change these into "00 00 60 BF" for 50%, or into "00 00 80 BF" for 0%. Next, search downwards for "00 00 40 3F", and change the first two matches into "00 00 60 3F" for 50%, or into "00 00 80 3F" for 0%. This could be a nice feature in your TRA SCU, yes? The same method can't be used on TRL though. |

Thanks for this information
Currently, this SCU just writes a config file compatible with TRA's debug options. Hex-Editing binaries or Memory-Patching is not supported (yet). It's good to know how it *would* work though in case someone wants to have that feature. |

Just noticed this update on the original TRA SCU that does not work on later windows.
(UPDATE.....Download link by ANODE in message 53). I have tried it on my Win7 computer and cannot get it running as there is a missing dll. Any advice how to sort this? MICROSOFT .NET Framework 2.0 is installed. I do not like going to 'find missing dll' websites as a lot of them have adware and viruses. Last edited by The Great Chi; 25-04-18 at 15:53. |

@ The Great Chi:
I have VSC++ runtimes 2008, 2013 & 2017 installed, and it works just fine on my Win10. https://support.microsoft.com/en-sg/...al-c-downloads |

Hi,
this problem seems to be caused by a missing dependency in windows. It usually is resolvable by * Installing Windows Updates * Installing the Windows C runtime from Microsoft (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...ime-in-windows) * Installing the Visual Studio C++ redistributable for VS 2015 Please let me know if any of this works. |

Thanks Anode, I tried Installing Window C runtime and Visual Studio C++, but have not done Window updates, as I have avoided window updates for many years as they were messing up my Win7 computer a lot.
Result was that another dll was missing, so AE SCU not working. I have decided not to bother with the AE SCU, as its more bother to my computer, than its worth having. Thanks anyway. Cheers Chi |
