The tomb4 project - Page 28

Heyooo. Quick question.

tomb4 works for The Times level too or just the main game ? Sorry if this has been asked before

legluondunet · 26-02-23, 05:44

Same question for me: is Tomb4 project compatible with "The Times - Exclusive Tomb Raider Level"?
If so there is a particular way to install it?

Support for the Times level is planned, but not yet done.

tomb4 V2.1.0 is finally out

This is a long overdue update

the last release was the first release after the new EXE was achieved, and so it had its fair share of issues, but thankfully all of these have been taken care of

Everything (hopefully) has been fixed. From the baddies not dying on monkeyswing, to skeletons AI, to not being able to pull that shelf in Sphinx Complex, it should all be sorted out now

Full changelog is right here so you can check everything that was fixed/added. If I missed something please let me know

--
Now for the new additions, there's quite a few exciting additions:
First we added a new scaling system that's consistent on all resolutions and aspect ratios, this means that 2D elements of the game that now use this system will always look the same on all resolutions. This was applied to a handful of elements, such as bars, Jeep/Bike speedometers, the title screen logo, and more!

Moreover, the drawing system for objects/room geometry has been completely reworked to be less reliant on DirectX. This approach is much faster and allows us to customize more elements of the drawing pipeline, fixing long standing issues such as not being able to have both distance + volumetric fog in the same level, it also improves how lighting is applied on room geometry.
Speaking of distance fog, this also allows us to customize it. A new option has been added to the menu that allows you to choose where the distance fog starts!

Lastly, a few original bugs have been fixed, such as Lara performing the wrong walk animation when interacting with some objects, and some SFX issues in the inventory/menus.

That's it for now

You can grab the update here

You may have to run setup again, if the game refuses to run, make sure to try that first before anything else!

Here is the usage guide for help with updating/installing

Couple of screenies:

Enjoy!

tomb4 and all your other patches are fantastic.
Amazing job as always.

Impressive and exciting update!

It's always a good day when a new update for these projects comes out! Thank you so much!

Beautiful update! Thank you

Any chance to have Lara's strap holster model in future release?

Lots of cool stuff, and great to see distance fog is now customizable. I think tomb4 is an essential patch for the best possible experience, and Crystal Dynamics should hire Troye.

Keep up the good work!

Hello, thank you very much for your work. In the new update 2.1.0 the life bars of lara, enemies, running, swimming and loading games have disappeared. I have put back the update 2.0.0.0 and if the bars appear. Does anyone else have the same problem as me? Thank you very much.

hi

this is a problem that started happening on certain GPUs, but it seems to only affect original bars, for now you'll have to switch to either TR5 or PSX bar styles. They will be fixed shortly
