Hi guys

Well I did'nt have much time to look at this problem.
But here's what I found.

With the Tomb4.exe provided with the editor there's NO WAY to play FMV . Simply because THEY have removed calls to binkw32 libraries in that prog.
The only prog which contains those calls is the regular one provided with TRLR (you won't find them in the times level exe, nor in the demo level exe).

You can play home made levels with the regular tomb4.exe (and FMV) BUT the problem is the sound which is not good (not good at all!!).


3 solutions :
1) give up

2) ask Eidos ...;-) (I'm joking...)

3) rewrite tomb4.exe (I'm still joking..)

Well, if you play custom levels with original TRLR executable, I think we should be able to change the SFX files, so the sound wouldn't be corrupted. Believe me, I played TR3 levels with TRLA executable and sound WASN'T wrong, cos I replaced the TRLA SFX file with the one of the TR3. It worked.

Right on trix, I think your on to something.
I'd also like to say that there are unofficial level editors, why not an unofficial TRLR.exe that could support our fmv's? There are some extremely talented programmers in our community.

Well I truly believe this will happen when the time is right.
keep the dream alive guys!
