Okay, since I am 99.9% done with my whole "Ice Age" project (I'm still battleing it out with the script + english), I was wondering, what kind of level should I make next? I want specifics people!!! My mind is a dry wasteland of nothingness followed by quite a bit of nothingness. I'm stumped. I'm at a loss. I'm dumbfounded. I'm perplexed. etc....

Dude,
I posted this a in response to Dhama's post:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dhama,
I had hoped to make a level based loosly on Waterworld, with the boat from tr2, a ship full of bad guys, a submersible, sunken alien ship, and a tropical island, etc...
It would have been really cool!
But I cannot! get my %##*%#$^&%&^ room editor to work
Maybe you could do that type of thing?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is my bestest idea (and only one so far). It would probably have to be a couple of levels though.

Oh,
It's a pretty neat little speed boat that Lara drives all around Venice and destroys gondolas and stuff.
I thought a boat would be nice in a totally water based level.

I'll start working on a totally water based level (well, almost totally) when I get my TRLE disc back. Expect some good puzzles (if they'll work).

I'm not really sure how to do it, I cant even get TRWEST to work right (yet), but 85 posted a thread the other day saying how to get items from TR1,2,& 3...

"Here's what i figured out... it's not perfect but it's sumthing-

PROGRAMS NEEDED

-TRViewer 0.80
-STRPix3
-Rhinoceros
-Crossroads Converter (Get it)

INSTRUCTIONS

1.) Using TRViewer, open the TR file containing the object you wish to retrieve.
2.) Find the object and then right-mouse click on the object's name and select "Export to 3DS" and save it sumwhere.
3.) Load Rhinoceros and open the file you saved it under.
4.) You're going to need to resize the object because @ the moment it is extremely large ( too big to be imported). To do this, click the "Transform" menu, click the "Scale" sub-menu, and then click "Scale 3-D". Click on point above the object and then click again below the object in the "Perspective" screen. Resize the object. *You may need to do a little trial and error here, unless you can find sum way to scale it.*
5.) Save the file as a .3DS file (don't try to save it as .DXF yet, it'll mess things up).
6.) Load the Crossroads Coverter, and open the .3DS file you saved the resized object to.
7.) Save that file as AutoCAD (.DXF).
8.) Load STRPix3 and open the .WAD file you want to import the object mesh into.
9.) Scroll through the meshes until you find a single intact mesh under one of the ANIMATION slots in the .WAD file.
10.) Click "Import Dxf" under the file menu and then select the converted .DXF file.
11.) Finally, save the .WAD file.

PROBLEMS

-The process is very time consuming.
-The objects are not solid (you can walk through them in the game).
-The textures do not show up."

Maybe that helps.

No,
I guess maybe that wasn't the right info completely, but he seemed to be saying he could strip objects from TR 1,2,or 3, using the instructions quoted above.
Don't ask me how it works, Like I said, I can't even get TRWEST to open anything but a WAD.
Anyway, just thought it might help you get a boat.

BTW check your mail.

Later Dude.

Wouldn't it be something if someone could make the wads for a city level? Sure VCI is a city level, but she's couped up in a building. What if you could walk through dark vandalized alleys and shoot crooks, or walk up and down broadway and run out in front of cars. Or go up to the Bronx and carry on some interesting conversations with prostitutes....I don't know, I guess I'm just living in a dream world. But still it would be great.

Do you think it would be possible with the cad program to make big Jncos for Lara, like the 50 inchers or something?

Maybe an outfit using the VCI mesh (with the headset & everything!). I can import the mesh using wadmerger, but the textues R all wrong.

Or maybe a leather biker outfit (not one that is too slutty, though!)
