years.
But I wonder, what do you think about the few level designers that spend their energy in creating something new, unique and worthy and not remakes? |

Everyone's always wanted to do the moves from cutscenes and do what they saw in the commercials. I've played the Last Revelation level where the tomb actually collapsed around her. That's what interests me. But seeing the creativity and some of the things they have created actually inspired me to think up this idea. I was hoping someone would have thought of this before. It's going where you previously couldn't go. Quote:

well, AOD isn't created with TRLE so you would be starting from scratch.

That's fine actually, because what I could do is enhance it, make the room bigger so that it takes a little longer to run out. Which, the cutscene room looked a little bigger than the in-game room anyway. It was also colored a bit differently. I just hope the right balance of similarity can be achieved.
I'm also not sure if the ropes were made to swing on in the original one, the way I would do it is have an animation when you're on the leg, of her holding that Glaive up to it, then make it so that the player could swing on one of the ropes, back and forth until they dropped down.

Yeah, sure...
So, have you in fact been dabbling with the TRLE already? Because it sounds to me like you haven't. Judging from the things you want to achieve/do you don't know about the limitations it has. Everything will have to be made from scratch and the TRLE isn't like the AOD engine so many things will not be possible. Having loads of deail like that in one area is one of them. TRLE levels tend to lag a lot when there's a lot of detail. |

I'm sorry about my novice. I've never touched a Level Editor before. I'm new to all this.
So, it's possible, but since it's running on a different engine, there's no way to make it look exactly like what was already there.. Do I get to work with the Lara model that they already had? Last edited by motoleo; 04-05-12 at 19:05. |

So.. forgive me if i dont understand you, but you want to play the Tomb Raider FMVs like they were levels?
I think thats kinda impossible, since they're not cutscenes (they aren't made in the game engine, but in 3d modelling programs and then converted into video files) and all the games after TR5 are totally incompatible with the level editor since they have their own engines (Maya for TR6). The best thing you can do is recreate some key-moments from the scenes, and maybe add some further gameplay, because i dont imagine people wanting to download a 1 minute length level with basicaly anything to do, since some FMVs have impossible-to-do things on TRLE (i cant imagine a TRLE level only with Lara on a falling hellicoper and then trying to junp off the pond as the hellicopter sinks) And since you have no experience in TRLE, let me break it down to you, its hard, people often give up projects, because a lot of reasons, TRLE levels now are more pollished, and they take longer to do, if you want a new object, you have to model it on another software, export, also had to deal with the community: "When you're going to release?" "This part is wrong" "i dont like this textures, they are too streched" and so on, so let me welcome you to this tough world that is TRLE level making. |

Recreating is indeed what motoleo is talking about. No. You can only work with a AOD style model that has been made for the TRLE. There are several AOD style outfits out there. They look very good but they are not the actual AOD model which would not work in the TRLE anyway. |

Felipe929: Yes, I want to recreate FMV's to be played like a level.
If I have everything I need, I'd like to jump right in and start- I have free time. But, let me get this straight:
So, I can't do anything next-generation? Now, I just have to pick one FMV from one of the games and stick to it. There's plenty to choose from. Last edited by motoleo; 05-05-12 at 01:40. |
