Hi everybody, 😁

I am a french guy and fall in love for Lara in TR4-Last Revelation few years ago.
I bought TR1 four years ago but discover Glidos and TRXTextures only 2 weeks ago.

Great thanks for all texture designers and Glidos maker. 😀

Special thanks for Antonijadis and his Lara's Home with wonderfull piano and harp. 😁

I say that because I'm a music teacher and play the piano, guitar and try harp too.
Studying all you have done, I find some strange things :
Piano keyboard have not enough keys and harp not enough strings.
Rainbow strings color is beautifull but not real.

I propose you an add-on to correct this. 😎

I also remark you have made some change in the house : tile floor, wooden floor and stairs column form.

My add-on contain 2 versions of handrail, brown-wood and grey marble (my preference).
Proposed also white and blue marble floor and another wood floor.

Have a look and tell me what you think about that.

Doing my textures, i find another thing :
OpenGlide and DirectX start drawing a polygone in the middle of the first point to the middle of the last point of an old texture. So, an half point of ancient mapping was not shown all around each quadrangle.
The new textures are often 4 x larger, so 2 points disappear all around each new mapping, causing disalignement. 😒

Almost all the time , it's not so important.
Just when a picture or painting cutted between 2 or more parts, we can see the difference.

Now, a question for Glidos : I have problems launching TR1 with Glidos Software.

The main menu goes well, but when i enter Lara's home or begin a new game or load a saved game, a blue crash screen indicate " Application can't run in window mode. Set the fullscreen mode.", but the " fullscreen " is already set. 😵

Falling down to Windows Desktop, I restart Glidos without change anything and the game run normally, with all the options.
Graphic card is G-Force 2 MX 400 with Windows ME in the max resolution 1280x1024 and often 30 FPS.

I try latest 3 Glidos versions and the probs are same.
I have to make double launching each time i want to play TR1 with Glidos Station.
Glidos, can you help me solve this little probs, please ???

Soon for new adventure. bcjimc

Blue screen is a very bad sign. Not sure what I can do. I don't see this problem. I haven't tested Glidos under Windows 98SE for a while. I'll try that here, but I don't have a copy of ME.

Thanks man! I certainly will. In fact I have already retextured some thing in the mansion, and I waiting to represent that as soon as Gambit or Paul do something about that site.

Hi Antonijadis, 😀

Your textures are wonderfull. 😊

Have you do something for Lara's gym wear ?

Do you think it should be a good idea ?? 😉

That job definitely should be done, but I afraid that the color of Laras warm up suit must stay the same like original because some part of that suit are not textures so you can't change it. 😒 If you try to retexture Lara face you know what I am talking about.

Hi Antonijadis, 😀

You have all right.
I am disapointed by the 😢!!##@@??😠 untextured polygone of Lara's skin and suit.

Why modelers have done this like that ??? 😒

I'll try to arrange a little bit more clear blue wearing.
Not red or pink of course. 😊

Soon for new adventures 😎
