As of today, FLEP comes in two workflows.
The first one was introduced in this post. It is referred to as the "old workflow". The second one is being introduced today, therefore this workflow is the "new workflow". The new workflow is intended to be an efficient, simple and robust drop-in replacement for the old workflow. But both workflows will be worked on in the foreseeable future, until the old workflow has no more users. At this point, it will be abandoned and only the new workflow will be updated. If you are starting your project now, or started recently, the recommendation is to use the new workflow. On the other hand, if your project is nearing completion, stick with the old workflow. As usual, feedback is welcome! From the FLEP developers (in alphabetical order): ChocolateFan, Dermahn, Krystian. Special thanks to: Troye. |

Yayy. Cool to see FLEP still going!
Chocolate, if u accept request I would love to see the body adjustement on floor elevations when Lara is crawling and also better hair colisions so her braid doesn't clip through her neck when in duck position... These 2 additions would be neat!! |

Version 3 is released, links in the first post.
Ruu11, if you adjust in Strpix or WadTool the LARA_SKIN spheres, you can avoid this braid issue. And about the body adjustment, it is in the list! |

"Fix Lara's backstep down animation"
Whenever I have this patch enabled the game will crash when Lara is about to perform animation 62. No idea if the patches.dll makes a difference in this case but I downloaded the patches.zip from the first post and installed the latest patches with it, like I always do (old workflow). I enabled a couple more patches and clicked Modify in the FLEP program, and copied the updated patches.bin to my game folder. Since it was a new download I also copied the patches.dll to my game folder: CRASH when the title is about to load. When I use the previous patches.dll (copied from a backup folder) the game works fine, except for that crash when "Fix Lara's backstep down animation" is enabled. As for animation 62, in case it matters: It is in my LARA object, it has StateID 16. Any ideas? |

Did you also update Plugin_FLEP? (or in the new way Plugin_FlexiblePatcher)

I did not...
Last time I did that I had a hell of a time to get it to work again. Game kept crashing instantly. Still not sure how I fixed it... Well, I have a backup folder, so I guess I could give it another try. Would be nice to have that "Fix Lara's backstep down animation" patch working. *** EDIT *** Must indeed have been a wrong mixture of files: old files while having newer versions of other files. I now have all the files from the recent download in my game folder and the patch works like a charm. Thank you for the suggestion, Lore! Last edited by Titak; 31-07-24 at 21:31. |

Indeed the old workflow is, either you do everything correctly, or something will crash. The new workflow is a lot more consistent and safe in this regard.

Thank you chocolatefan for keeping FLEP alive and the constant updates.
I tried the new method, unfortunately Windows Defender doesn't like the new exe and gives me a blue smartscreen warning. I'll stick to the old method but from what I gathered new patches are still compatible, right? |
