The tomb4 project - Page 14

New update should be coming soon, will have a ton of bugs fixed and some new customizable options

@ATombRaiderFan won’t be touching the compass as most walkthroughs rely on it.

I have one request for both tomb4 and tomb5, if you are working on a new update:

Would it be at all possible to show Lara's health bar when scrolling over the big and small medipacks in the inventory? This would be the same like in TR1-3, so we can see her health before using a medipack.

I swear TREP had a patch for that...if so, it's certainly possible

Yes it did, which is why I'm hoping it isn't too big of a request.

I love it! Yassss!

Would it be possible to implement dynamic shadows like in the Dreamcast version? I also saw a video on youtube that enhances the bump mapping.. Would something like that be possible?

Dreamcast does the shadows in a very cheap way, you can see it lacks joints, and is actually a slightly modified TR1 Lara model.
so, dreamcast shadows are out of the question, for the time being.
PSX bars are meant to be in line with the PSX version, not tomb5. tomb5 is getting an update that moves them a little to the left, too, like PSX.
I'll look into having the thin loading bar, but it's not guaranteed.
TR5 camera is definitely coming
"PSX memory cards with floppy disks" is not possible as the objects are not present in the level files
Xinput controller support may happen, but button prompts won't.
font editing isn't possible at the moment either. everything about the font is strictly hardcoded.

also there will be a slow down on big new features for the time being, we want to focus on decompiling and bug fixing before rushing anything

As Troye said, dynamic shadows probably won't happen, for the time being.

Great update Troye!

I’m impressed with the new ammo hotkey option - tapping the numbers is subtle yet effective, and showing the ammo type briefly at the top of the screen is useful too. I reckon this feature will bring relief to a lot of tr4 fans

Thank you very much for adding an option to customize static lighting. Also thank you for working on the bugfixes as well.

Thank you so much Troye! Super excited to test it.

*EDIT*

I guess it wasn't possible to fix the switch animation in Sphinx Complex or Lara's "No" when placing the Holy Scriptures in Temple of Horus?
