Tomb Raider The Angel of Darkness Restoration Project

[reborninshadow]

Hi everyone, just giving a quick update

Progress is going well, TRJTA is working on fixing every little texture/geometry issue in the level and I'm working on the gameplay. I will be taking this opportunity to also add back some of the unused pawnable items such as the camera, especially since the streets route doesn't have any pawnable items right now. I've also been working on improving the cut section in other ways such as fixing how the cop can disappear in front of the player if you are quick enough.

Another thing I wanted to mention is that Google Drive is starting to flag some of my downloads as "malicious" or violating the rules and they need to get manually approved. Currently the 1.4.0 standalone download is safe but the transitional update was flagged. I will probably need to move the downloads over to somewhere else so don't be surprised if some of the links don't work until then.

Here's beta parisian back streets in action! Things are coming along really nicely.

Having been in the impossible to reach backstreets using devious means to get in there, I see a lot of new material used, and re-building empty areas.

Was a lot of these new moves built in like the 'punch the policeman in the face' move, and 'swinging along on the wire' move or was a lot of new animation added by yourself

just amazing to see the area finished

Any chance of adding a newspaper clipping at the end that says Lara Croft takes down the Monstrum and thwarts the Cabal or something along the lines. This would clear up Lara’s name and also add a closure to the game.

I started this yesterday and I have only played AOD once a very long time ago. I am surprised how much of the game I remember and how much the restoration project has changed. I recognize all the new lines.

I love how the first level doesn’t end when you come down the ladder or how the police kicks the door faster and is also communicating about suspect. I also like how we need to go down to pick up the roof key. Love all these little changes and they add a lot to atmosphere. Looking forward to further changes in the later levels.

Edit: Has the Kurtis cutscene with him on a bike been moved? Since the door to the club has been moved, I did not see the cutscene when I was going toward the club with the key in hand. EDIT: OHH and the body. Oh I really like all these story additions. They really add context to the story.

Those animations were already there, I didn't add them myself

I'm glad you are enjoying the mod . As for the suggestion, adding in something like that would feel too "fan-made", since I try to keep the additions and changes in this mod directly based on Core's ideas or cut content.
