Just out of interest sake... what are the distribution limits on the "Level Editor" release?

Like, from what I can tell you're supposed to be able to make your own stand alone game with the room editor and through scripting and stuff, but what about the exe, textures, models and stuff like that?

Are we allowed to electronicly distribute these stand alone thingies?

Heh, and if you thought I sound like I don't have a clue what I'm talking about yer prolly right...

Read the license agreement. It answers this question completely.

that would have been possible it the game (TRC) was actually available around here... I'm just simply asking what the limits of use are, cause that would probably impact on my choice of whether or not I wish to make levels for Tomb Raider (think of it like this... if I am allowed to make my own levels, play them, but not distribute them then there wouldn't be a point of making the level in the first place... cause correct me if i'm wrong but when you distribute a level file the textures and stuff are in the level... which is (c) core design...

See where I'm getting at?
