That's so cool! I had no idea you could "retro-fit" TR1 -- I would have thought there would be problems putting higher poly meshes into an older engine. Smart stuff. I don't think the textures I've made for the TR1 lara would be useful for the TR2 Lara though -- too many differences. But you're …

DungeonMaster. Without question. Although as I've been collecting all I can for it to build a website (inlcuding rare Japanese versions), I'd have to save the whole lot -- it's worth a fortune.
Scene/Texture recognition?
Posted on 2005-02-08, 15:36
Can Glidos recognise specific uses of a given texture? For example, there are a few places where a texture is rather distorted, and in those cases I'd like to provide a 'pre-corrected' texture so that it fixes the distortion. Is that possible on a tile-by-tile basis?

This thread is getting a bit mixed up -- could a mod move the TRUFORM stuff to a new thread please?

I couldn't wait -- have just tried it and it appears to work perfectly. This is going to make a massive difference to improving the testing time, managing the folders and deploying texture packs. I really appreciate the work that you've put in to this and promise to make the most of it by continuing …

You, sir, are a genius wizard of the highest order. I will test this out later. Thank you very much! 😁

@Guest, the capturing is a little frustrating I agree but it's the only way. I already have the first four levels captured if that would help -- though the lettering is incomplete --some of that has to be done manually.

That sounds perfect! 😁 So to install texture packs into a folder called trx off the Textures folder, the root would be simply TRX\? Will TLNK relative paths then be relative to the ROOT, the BASE, or their containing folder?
Re: TRx Texture Feedback

But one needs to know the captured folder names to put into the masterfile to begin with -- capturing an as yet un-captured level wouldn't work as you suggest unless one is psychic... 😉

But I like everything you do Aw, shucks. :blush: Thank you! And yes, you're right, It's more important to release the actual texture packs. Damn fiddly though -- I'm trying to get all the little bits and pieces of all the weapons and sprites done so that The Caves will be completed -- this will …

http://www.resonantedge.com/trx/_gfx/samples_tr.jpg I found a high-res image of the original TR Title screen Lara and replaced my AOD Lara -- this looks much better. Not going to fiddle with the face though -- too much effort! However, which lettering do people prefer? I had the TR style originally …

Yes, I'm still keeping my existing title screen for the main TRx project. I might offer this one as an 'alternative.' I might have a go at replacing Lara's features in my existing title screen so that they match the in game ones. It's tricky though. While I'm great at texturing and manipulation, I'm …

Bit bored of texturing at the moment, so played a bit of TR3 for the first time in years. I'd forgotten how much I liked Lara's pose in title screen, so I went off and made a similar one for TRX: http://www.resonantedge.com/trx/_gfx/tr3title.jpg http://www.resonantedge.com/trx/_gfx/title_screen_ …

Ah, I see, so putting ..\ in my link files means it's actually looking two folders up? That makes sense and seems to be what happened in my test.

Cool... OK, well I won't start making TR2 textures just yet. Best finish TRX first! 😉
Glidos principles in Windows games...
Posted on 2005-01-30, 13:04
Just a thought: Could the principles behind the operation of Glidos be used to wrap *any* DirectX game back to DirectX? I know that sounds bonkers but here's my thinking: Would be possible to write a prog to intercept, for example, the video output of all the other Tomb Raider games, analyze the …

It's not completely screwed -- they seem to respect the base path so that's a happy coincidence(?). But I agree, not sure of the best way forward.

It's funny, in my test with relative paths in TLNK files, I made a mistake and only put in one level up (..\), for example to find all the letters for the title. The base was set to trx\title, and my structure looks like this: trx\ \letters \title\ \weirdnamedfolder1 \weirdnamedfolder2 \etc... Now, …
