^ That is cool! But i think it's for TRLE, i have tried it in Dxtre3D and you can see the horizon, yes, but you still collide with the wall.

I have finished the entire layout of the level. And i'm impressed at the editor because i had to surpass the 200 rooms mark, and it's still working! I was very worried about having more than 200 but it seems you can have that much even in TR2 just fine!
There are 225 rooms in total. I'm crazy, i know.

Aaand...now to add all objects and triggers and pray it doesn't fall apart with so much data.

Something minor, but i changed the standard, boring grey button switch to be more fitting to the "oriental" setting. Viewed from TRViewer:



And in-game while pressed:



I'm pretty close to finishing the gameplay now and it's still working fine. Fingers crossed. The trapdoors make Lara's grunt noises when opening now, so i will probably need to remerge them to fix it.

These white textures are your own right?
The black bars are wider.

Yeah, i made that texture. Just a white square with a wide black border.

It's for quick texturing so i can see how i like the geometry of the rooms. And later i suppose it can make easier to see untextured surfaces.

Update: Just as i have finished with the gameplay a nasty new bug has arisen. There is an enclosed space at the end that i wanted to put a "trap" so you have to fight 2 tough enemies at once. But when the enemies activate they remain in the same sector and cannot get out of it, even if there aren't any obstacles in the way. I have tried remerging them in Fexmerger and also using a different enemy, but no matter which enemy i choose, it cannot move out of the sector i place it in. And i think they get bugged because i placed them in a room # higher than 200 ( 213 exactly ). It's a shame but i will probably have to scrap that final encounter.
Triggers work correctly on rooms higher than 200 but it seems enemies don't. I cannot figure out another reason for them to not work, as they work perfectly in the rest of the level...

Enemy behavior in TR2 is very erratic. Sometimes they run in circles instead of just attack you. I found out it mostly happens when they have to go through a door, they refuse to do it (but when they are in the same room as you, they will look for you even if you hide). It also happens when there is a sloped floor of 2 steps deep, they usually can't climb/descent them. Is one of this situations the case in that part?

Have you tried zones for the enemies?

Yay, i have solved it! What i did was exchange that room #213 with another that has a number less than 200, then the enemies work correctly.

I had that situation with an enemies not wanting to cross open doors before. Had to join the 2 rooms into one.

Even when i tried that, the enemies couldn't leave their sector, it is indeed because of the high room #, seems the pathfinding gets screwed there.


Gameplay is finished now. Did a test run of the map, it's not very long but well, at least all works! I have some tweaks to do though.



I will finish a couple places where geometry isn't done and i will post those pics i said earlier.

Cool

Now i'm satisfied with the geometry and i will post some screenshots as i want to share this, even if it isn't properly textured.

Here you can see the island above where you need to go and use 2 keys, almost at the end of the level, from the beginning part:



This is the central part of the level, which was causing my headaches with the crashes :



Excuse the glitchy horizon.
And this is a cool view of all parts of the level, it has to be seen from below because otherwise you would only see magenta portals:



The beginning part is to the right. It's funny how you can see the black zipline.
I have also created new secret sprites for the level:



And that's it, i don't want to spoil it too much. Sorry about the lack of texturing and lighting, i focused on trying to finish the gameplay first before putting all the detail in, as i didn't know if i would be able to complete it, errors and all.
Luckily i have succeeded. I also included an awesome effect that makes geometry appear using fliprooms at the end part.
And now i only need to do the texturing+lighting and this will be another finished project. Hopefully it won't take too much time.
