Default Cannot find character editor

Hello all

I am trying to download and use the character editor to swap Lara's models (e.g. play as camo shorts in Paris), however every tutorial I come across contains broken links. Could someone provide me up-to-date links to download the tools with some basic instructions on what to do to get it working?

Thanks!!

*bump*

So I am trying the program Sasho shared here, and I downloaded the "vcredist" program, but it doesn't seem to change anything. Do I need to have the character program in the root folder for the game? I'm playing through TRSCU using Version 2 of the game exe.

Edit: "Encountered sharing violation" error message when selecting INVENT.gmx.

You need to create a 'char' folder in the AoD directory and Laras .chr files in order to replace costumes/characters

EDIT: Ok, so I converted the CLZ file for the level I wanted to gmx, however when I select to run the game through SCU, it crashes with different error messages.

This is my setup. So for example, if I wanted to change Lara's denim outfit in Parisian Backstreets to camo shorts, I have the following selected:



And here are my DATA and MAPS folders for reference.



The char and anim folders located in DATA are directly extracted from the character tool zip, so char contains within it subfolders "PC" and "PS2". Also, I forget if I mentioned, I am running the game patched, build 49, version P4, through SCU. Game crashes when I run under these settings and this setup. Any advice?

If you want to change Laras Outfits you dont need to use the character editor.

Download TRAOD Laras .chr files:
https://www.mediafire.com/file/jzaou...lLara.RAR/file

LARAD - Lara Denim
LARAC1 - Lara Camo Pants
LARAC2 - Lara Camo Pants & Vest
LARA - Lara Shorts
LARAS - Lara Wetsuit

Then, simply go to your AOD directory:



then go to data



there you create a new folder and name it 'char'

after that is done simply rename the .chr files to what outfit you want to replace.

For Example: if you want Lara Camo Shorts to replace Lara Denim Outfit, simply rename Lara.chr to LaraD.chr, then drop the renamed file into the 'char' folder and you're done

This trick worked! However, the Lara.chr file you mention actually turns denim Lara into a classic Lara mod.

Nevermind, I found a copy of the character files

Whoops I just had these .chr files in my AoD Backup so I thought these were the original ones
Check out other mods on Core_Designs Website aswell

Oh man, replacing any other character with Lara's, Kurtis' included, has this weird model of Lara with every tool/add-on in the game at once. Also the AoD character tool I imagine is for changing it so, for example, Kurtis changed to Lara's model would also have Lara's animations, and without all those tools and junk too. Still not sure how to use that, though.
