TRAE-Menu-Hook

TheIndra · 15-11-21, 22:27

Hi,

I want to introduce a project I have been working on for a year now, TRAE-Menu-Hook (not to be confused with Anniversary Edition).

TRAE-Menu-Hookis a dll/asi to be injected into Tomb Raider: Anniversary to provide extra features ingame such as menu to quickly switch levels but also tools for mods like loading objects.

Features

Load files outside bigfile without restarting the game (including levels and objects)
Spawn and manage instances
Free camera
Restored level debug including seeing of Event variables
See level markup (legdges, ladders)
See enemy navigation
Disable death fade/respawn
Disable cinematic bars
Slow motion
Skew/flight cheat
Switch player outfit
Switch levels
Show instances including health, animation and more
Play animations
Wireframe view
See collision mesh
See portals
See signals/triggers
Skip intros/copyright screen
Partly restored Legend binoculars

Downloads can be found on the Releases page together with the source code on GitHub. Unzip the files in your game folder and add the binkw32.dll and you are ready to go. Steam, GOG.COM and other same retail builds are supported.

Controls

F2 Toggle skew/flight cheat
F3 Pause the game
Shift + F3 Cycle Slow motion
F4 Toggle free camera
F5 Disable player control (useful while in free camera)
F7 Hide the menu
F8 Toggle menu focus (allows you to interact with the menu)
F9 Quickly switch between player outfits
F11 Instant ragdoll death
Insert/Ins Toggle hud

Flight controls depend on QWERTY/AZERTY keyboard layout (Q/A or Z/W)

Screenshots

Messing around with instances

Level debug restored

lara.drm and a custom level loaded without repacking bigfile
(WOTV lara model by Raq/LuckyEdge10)

Other games

TRAE-Menu-Hook repository also includes TR7-Menu-Hook and TR8-Menu-Hook for Legend and Underworld though those are not the main games I focus on and thus less supported for some versions/less features.

Haven't had a chance to play with this yet, but it looks like a fun tool. Thanks a lot for sharing!
