Arrow List of AoD Tools

To keep things more organized, I will list here all the tools which let you edit,extract things,or modify in any way parts of "Angel of Darkness".
The goal is to get a step closer in the creation of a "AoD Level Editor".


Tools:
_______________________________
awd2wav
Author: Guru
Description: A tool which lets you extract audio and/or sound files from AoD.
Its a command line tool, so it has no interface.
Screens
How to use:
Quote:

1.Download the self-extracting package (.exe format) and extract it to the directory where Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness audio files (.awd.clz format) reside - usually it is: C:\Program Files\Eidos Interactive\TRAOD\Data\Audio\,
2. From Start menu Run (shortcut 'Alt + R') - type "cmd" (or "command" on non-NT systems) and hit 'Enter'. DOS Command Prompt will show up
3. From Command Prompt, you can use this tool by typing, let's say: awd2wav.exe paris1.awd.clz. Usage of wildcards are also supported, e.g. awd2wav.exe *.clz.

Notice: Please be sure that you have enough space on your hard drive, before attempting to convert all sound files in one attempt. Whole converted package exceeds 2.5 GBytes. Also it may slow down, even crash your PC, especially if it has slow system configuration. That is why, you are advised to shut all programs/processes down before starting this tool.

Position Editor

Author: sasho648 Yuuto
Description:the general function is that the program can edit char positions and displays their names. For example in paris1.gmx you can edit LARAD position, DOG postition and the police men. The program uses the RMX data inside the gmx and includes the ACTOR.db from the DATA folder. From that file the program gets the char names. I extend it again and now in the second version you can edit characters IDs.

Collision Extractor (XP) (Vista/W7)
Author:sasho648 , Yuuto

This parts includes the maps, animations... but they include too a tomb raider collision which places the objects at the map. The collision includes a big parts which we'll call maps because each of them includes a map positions. Except the map position they include a arrays of objects. This tool extracts and injects this "maps".

The functions type have id, hash and values for options which level to start or what upgrade you have..

Neat stuff, I never realized you could actually edit AoD like this. Unfortunately I don't have a PC version of the game, so I'm unable to do any of this.

I can't get awd2wav to work. I have tried all the solutions and carefully followed all the instructions but nothing helps.
