Do you mean you have already created levels using all seven WADs and all the different texture sets inlcuded on the disc? You're fast!

the tomb raider 5 textures are not in the level editor pack. if you look closely at the top left hand corner you can see its v.49 your using, but core use v.50, with all the textures from tr5, so why didnt they give us the later version in the first place???

Devteam editors are very "raw" and as such they wanted to get the game out first. I imagine the editor for v4 was being worked on at the same time as the game, so no time for making the v5 editor public friendly enough...
I would expect that when tr6 or nextgen/whatever comes out.

Reb@Eidos:

come on, I need a door that Lara can open without a key, which is NOT included in catacomb.wad I am using.
But catacomb.wad includes other objects I want to use.

Itīs just very disappointing to see again and again that I cannot build a level that I want to have, because of missing objects :-((

All three doors in the Catacomb.was are very straight forward. Just about any door can be triggered to open with just a simple trigger....it's up to you how complicated you want to make them (adding switches, keys, solving puzzles - sometimes more than one like the pyramid puzzle in Clepatra's Palaces). ...and the tall door in Catacombs doesn't even have Egyptian markings!

Reb@Eidos:

I planned a level but I used the new moves of Lara she gets at TR5. But now I see, it has only "old" moves. WILL there be any update or sth? And what about textures?
I tried to make water, but I couldnīt find any! And I tried to make a waterfall...
And what about enemies??? especially animals like snakes or ...? And where do I get this object updates???

Although I`m not Reb@Eidos....

>>>

Yes, thatīs because TRLE V0.49 is optimized for the TR4 engine, whereas TRLE 0.5 uses the TRC engine.


>>>
WILL there be any update or sth?
<<<

EIDOS writes that there will be updates (look @ tombraider.com)


>>>
And what about textures?
I tried to make water, but I couldnīt find any!
<<<

Look at the tutorial!!
There are water textures!
You have to use a "water room" and paste water textures on the "ceiling" of that room - follow the tutorial!


>>>
And I tried to make a waterfall...
<<<

You CAN try to "make" one by using water rooms, but a "generic" waterfall has to be an object contained in a WAD (e.g. catacomb.wad)


>>>
And what about enemies??? especially animals like snakes or ...?
<<<

Not at the moment.
You can only use the objects in the WAD you choose. Read the tutorial for more information about that.


>>>
And where do I get this object updates???
<<<

EIDOS says on www.tombraider.com
But no update avail at the moment.
