Is there any other flipeffects or something I can use to force damage when she gets attacked (since the normal Enemy= script doesn't seem to be working fully)
It sounds like the problem is due to the fact that your using a custom enemy - enemy damage is done by contact with specific meshes and not the collision box.
You need to look at Ahmet in wadmerger and see what number his claw/mouth meshes are then you'll need to re-arrange the TR1 meshtree so it matches.

Easier said than done but TR_Wad_Reorganiser can rearrange mesh-trees. Best of luck.

^ Ahh... I'd have no idea where to even begin there.

Have the same issue with a Panther in the Dog slot and a Crocodile in the TR4 Croc slot.
They attack, lunge etc and hardly do any damage at all.. if any.
Lara can stand there and they just bump into her..

^^ Could you send me your mummy object? I've dabbled with stuff like this before with success.

For the other enemies it's also a size issue. Enemies are programmed to attack at a certain distance from Lara - they don't take the scale of the meshes/collision boxes into account, it's probably based on the distance from the 'origin' axis of mesh#0 to the player.

I once made a better working raptor by tinkering with an invisible dummy mesh#0 and repositioning the enemy meshes further pack. It could be solution for the panther & croc.

^ Could you also look into my TR1 rat in CROCODILE slot? It has similar issues and I'm not sure it it can be fixed without resizing the rat to size of crocodile because it is already big

^ I'll have a look as well. Send it on. It might be a day or two before I get to look at it!

I had to figure these things all out on my own - most people who converted enemies are no longer active - at least on this forum.

It's no harm to help others if I can.

Something so simple yet I can't get it to work properly..

I'm trying to trigger several traps and a door, but only when Lara has picked up a key item first.
I used the TriggerTriggerer and made sure all triggers have the blue square.
In game however, nothing happens?!

Suppose I could use NGLE scripts so they only work when Lara has the item in her inventory - but I'm using the same Puzzle piece twice.. which could cause issues if the player collects the other one first.
I'm gonna have to make an exact copy in another slot then.
Hmmm

EDIT: I have also run into another issue which crashes my level!

I have 2 rooms both with flipmaps. In the flipped versions, there is a new door portal which opens.
Its a trapdoor which opens and the sand above drops down so Lara can climb.. like in Tr1
For some reason, the trapdoor object causes the crash.
I deleted it and its fine... dunno why?!
I only placed the door in the Normal room.
Might have to fake it with statics if it fails again

EDIT 2: Is this a glitch in the new engine or something?
So I have used flipeffects to make a water room previously in the level - but now I am trying to make some more in later rooms - using the same technique, and for some reason they still act like normal 'air' rooms instead. Odd

I don't know if this is the place to post but...

I had no problems before but now when I play any custom level instead of full screen the game comes up in a small screen!

Any suggestions?

You could try pressing CTRL when the little grey box appears (when you launch the EXE)
It should launch the settings menu where you can alter resolution etc

AFAIK all custom levels use your default TRLE settings - so it should be the same as whatever your TRLE setup is (I am assuming you have TRLE installed?)

It works! Your a life saver.

Hi all, I am currently trying to create a TRNG editor folder. Normally I work with TREP, so I could do with some help. I found a tutorial somewhere (here) and it says that after installing the trle, wadmerger, and trng full installer, you need an updater. The link to the updater is dead, however.

Is this updater essential for the TRNG to work properly? And if so, where can I get it?

Edit: It does not work. Can somebody recommend a website where you can download a fully functioning starter kit for the TRNG?
