The year 2004: TechnoEgyptians now rule the World.They are waiting for the Upcoming New RHA.
They are trying to awake the Ancient Atlantis Fathers who give the power to call Him.
They imposed a New Uniform to the population of the Earth (the same that Lara is wearing in this level) and are trying to impose their new divinity. But people do hate silently New RHA The Mighty. Why is there NO SKY up above? What happened to the Earth during those years? Where are we? The location is for now SECRET, but it EXISTS and it was NEVER shown in a game before. Don’t you believe that here in the Earth there is a place without the sky?
Lara needs all her ability to face the TechnoEgyptians trouble: they are near to call New RHA here in the Earth in the shape of the Warrior of the Death (I’ll make this happen in the second or third level, when I will reveal the location). What will happen if someone will open the Portal? Nothing will be the same anymore. THIS IS NOT ABSOLUTELY AN EGYPTIAN LEVEL.
This is not Tomb Raider 1 or 2-3-4-5-6: this is the TechnoEgyptians Portal: first level of “Tomb Raider A: the TechnoEgyptians” : something really new.
SPECIAL FEATURES of this level:
1) completely new personal WAD that I took to the limits
2) completely new personal objects done with some different CAD programs
3) completely new personal textures set (more than 100 new original textures, I mean REALLY personal drawn pixel per pixel)
4) new puzzles
5) new body for Lara completely tested and working in every move
6) four new audio sounds that you are allowed to use in your levels (one of them untouched from TR3, the others were remixed with the adding of effects and choirs – do not listen to them before you have played all the game)
7) Level of detail taken to the limit (look at the textures round the bow window – which is one of my object: they imitate the shadow of the window, calculated with a CAD program and redrawn in 2D for the textures)
and many MORE. Here’s to you the link to download (it will take a bit for all the new audio files):
http://tombraider.videogame.it/giochi/trle/livelli/tep.zip Please, read carefully the TXT files. Don’t forget to put the audio files in the AUDIO folder of your TRLE.

Really thanx: I think you are in the technoegyptians church room: that level has taken to me very long time to be done: I've been working on it since january (more than 10 hours a day), and while I was working on it I was thinking to make it a unic complex and wellworking machine. Really: I was thinking about a machine.------------------

you won't find stupid enemies everywhere: it is well balanced: enemies will arrive long the way, not so soon, and gradually.------------------

Howdy there Pardne
While I'm writing this I'm loading down your new level. Even tho I have'nt played it yet, it seems you have been able to do what I would dearly like to, create a new game using models that have been altered. What this ol' cowboy would like to know is ...will you be letting us mere mortals know HOW you did the changes , like... a tutorial on "HOW this was done". I suspect that many guys/gals out here in TR land would love to be able to do this. Is there any chance???????? BillyIP: Logged |

------> to tom992Yes it is a little big cause I put in the zip file the audio files. They are tto important cause they tell you what it is happening. No sounds like that were in the original adio folder, so I had to create by myself. Sorry for this. Try to spend a little time to download, cause you'd really lose something interesting. I had to give up with all the audio files I did, cause in the beginning the zip file was 19 MB! So I was afraid none would download it.... and that's is a sin.... for all the mounths I worked on it.... But all of you that are you downloading.... what about my new Lara? And please.... if you play it, don't tell here all the surprises.... if you are framed in a situation, simply write me an email.... ------------------

Do you want me to post my script.txt file?sorry, I can even do it, BUT.... there are two technical problems.... have you heard that I used a NEW body for Lara? the game will crash while loading the next level, if you put together levels with the normal Lara..... sorry.... And the second one is that I have created NEW puzzle items to combine: so I don't know what will happen if you do not use even my english.dat file..... Simply backup you .dat files, creating a new folder called "backup script" and moving them inside of it. ------------------

people are writing to me that it is too difficult.
The solution exists. So, if you do not find it by yourself, send me an email and I'll write to you back the solution, expecially for the "hardest TR room" where you first met the skeleton (where you really don't know what to do).
If you go through that room, you'll find out something never seen in any game before.... please, at least try to arrive to the TechnoEgyptians Portal opening....------------------

OK, it's obvious you put alot of time into the map, and it looks pretty good. My only complaint is --- IT IS TOO SLOW!!!
I understand my machine is not top-of-the-line anymore, but it is no slouch either. Athlon 750, 256MB, Rage 128 AGP with 32MB. Still, almost anywhere in the map it is slow and jerky, very difficult to do anything because it doesn't respond to the controls. You didn't push the limits of the game engine, you BROKE the limits.
It is a great idea, but sometimes you just have to scale back your dream level to fit the capabilities of the game engine.
I hate to give up, but it is just too slow to play. Sorry.IP: Logged |

please, don't give up! you can simply avoid to look in the center of the big egg room!You CAN'T immagine what will happen... But why have I played it at 1024x768 with a pIII 500 Mhz and I can finish it goodly enough?.... ------------------

EHI! I found the solution!
YOU HAVE NOT READ THE TXT FILES, HAVEN'T YOU?
There, I write that if the game gets TOO SLOW you have to reload simply the game! this depends on how many flame elettrical emitters I did used in that room!!!! NO PROBLEM! you can go on!!!!------------------

Psiko,
firstly, I really like what you did with Lara's outfit/body. Really futuristic looking. Great work!I figured out the slow run business ok, that happens sometimes. 
And I noticed you like fire. O.K., so do I...
BUT I"M STUMPED!!!!
 Oh well, guess I'll have to think harder.
Geeze, I hope my brain doesn't explode!

ahhh this is the hardest level I have ever layed eyes upon!! I am in the first 'city-like' area andhave no idea what to do. I got one piece of the gold 'eye' that required monkey-ing over spikes... it is just so difficult!  also, it completly took over my whole level editor! I could only play this level and could not work on my level! so I had to find my level editor cd and uninstall the whole level editor and reinstall! ahhhhhh -Kathryn ------------------

I KNOW WHERE YO ARE!
you are in the room with the first skeleton, aren't you? the room with three waters, aren't you?
I think that IS THE MOST DIFFICULT ROOM of every Tomb Raider games. Start trying to make a ROLL.... if this does not work, I'll send to you the solution wih the pics.... IT IS HARD, I know.------------------

-----> to *X* Kathryn *X*in the room of the church, facing it, you have to hang up on an edge at your left.... then go right while hanging and make a back jump.... do a run NOT hanging to the high column in front of you.... and press the jump switch. So you can enter in the second room: there is a burning strange monument.... WHAT IS IT?.... eheheheh you'll find out!!!
Anyhow, below of it, there is a door: in this room there are two switches: one near the blu wall (where you can see a climbing wall not reachable), one behind the burning monument: you reach the second one jumping from the low grey wall next to the blue one....
press them both, and go on.... the door and one raising block will be activated.... ------------------

@psiko,ok - this level is really something. I certainly enjoy the intense atmosphere and the acrobatics and I would guess I have already advanced pretty well, even through your so called 'hardest room ever', but now I seem a little stuck. I have just moved two of the 'fishes' in the one room to see a camera showing a door opening. Then shortly after I moved the next two 'fishes' to their floor tiles left and right of the arch but apparently nothing happened, as the door at the very top of this room is still closed and I do not see any other way to go??? Any help? What did I miss? ------------------
HAPPY RAIDING!
