The tomb5 project - Page 30

Any idea what may be causing me to have a black inventory? I recall installing tomb5p some time back and it was fine. Installed toast night but can't seem to get a translucent inventory (tried different resolutions etc. Mono screen setting)

Make sure the texture bit depth you choose matches the resolution bit.

Oh what the hell I swear I checked that twice. Thankyou!

May i ask a question - do you have the RGB values for the TR5 inventory colour? Over the years I have tried numerous values for it for TREP etc but could never quite get the right time and shade.

it is 0xFFFFFF80

You just reminded me of the following quote by Woops:

The meshes for Lara's shadow in the Dreamcast version are present in all the PC level files except in the Rome levels, the Title sequence and the VCI cutscene file. It even shows as ObjectID 127 in FexMerger.

I am not sure whether it will be possible to load the shadow meshes individually from its own file or if each level where it's missing has to be modified separately. The 'injection' solution (à la barefoot.sfx) seems more appealing, since it could be applied to TLR as well.

On another note, the saved game files have stopped being compatible with the save and position editors. This is only a minor inconvenience though.

Hey all. I was just wondering what the status was or if there is even going to be a release for DX9.
I have been trying to dig into getting the classic TR games to work with RTX remix but the issue is that the current versions of direct x7 and lower to dx9 wrappers do not really work and if the application is using a DX9 API then it needs to be using a fixed function pipeline.
I tried with TR2main but I remember reading from the dev himself that the dll is pretty delicate which shows as the game will crash on boot.

I just finished playing Chronicles with this new tomb5.exe and I loved it !!
The new fixed stuff is really great and I really enjoyed playing it in its best shape !

I had two minor bugs, don't know if they are linked to the new exe or not :

1. the rolling while crawling animation does not play in the "13th floor" level. When you are crawling and press the sprint button, Lara Croft just slides on the floor with no animation playing. It's only in this level that it was missing.

2. While playing "Escape with the Iris" I had a crash in the elevator. When you push the button for it go up there's a cutscene playing, it crashed when the camera came back to Lara Croft. I don't know how the level works but it kinda felt like the game failed to load the flipmap or something (if there's a flipmap there) After reloading the game it did not crashed again.

Probably you already know about these but I just wanted to say it just in case.

Anyway it has been amazing to play the game with your new tomb5 ! I loved it !

From what I remember, the animation isn't present in the level and thus can't be fixed with Tomb5.
