since Tomb Raider 1 had far fewer options than TEN, the short answer is no. It may be changed in the future, but for now this is the way to go.

},

We can't have that because this is not Lua programming language

TEN's way is better, even if it's a bit more verbose, since it allows more customization possibilities for pickup items. Lua is a programming language and we can do virtually anything with it. Tomb1main uses JSON, which is not a programming language and it's useful for config files and simple text data storage (like INI, XML, YAML, TOML and similar).

For flexibility and customization sake, I prefer Lua.

yes, no one is arguing, just simple things I would like to do easier.

New TE and TEN update is out! A smaller one but again quite important with various enemy fixes, object fixes and pathfinding fixes (although not fully but good enough) and new Lua functions to manipulate with rooms

I am deeply sorry, but because of an oversight, a potentially critical bug sneaked into latest release - shattering statics may crash the engine. Right now I have uploaded updated versions of both TE and TEN update, so you need to download again not to encounter this bug.

Sorry for inconvenience!

Just a quick question for curiosity's sake, I noticed in the setup there's no longer the option to check bilinear filtering on and off. I was just wondering why it was removed, i was testing a level with 64X64 textures and i usually turn it off for classic styled levels when i realized it was gone XD

I don't believe TEN ever had this option created, it's more of a thing to be added in the future (I hope), rather than it being removed since.
