it is so easy
you can simply use TRwest to make your wad.
do you have it?

Yes, you can use tr2wad to extract the wad from TRC (Iris) and use trwest to merge the wad to your level!!!

to get your custom wad in your project, open the LE, load the project and click the load objects button and select your custom wad

then you need to add some lines to script.txt for the puzzle items and quest items to display the right names
look in the script from the library for the quest items and COPY the lines that correspond with the quest items and place it in the level block info you're using

if you do want your level to be all custom, just say the word and we'll point you in the right direction

k, here goes:
-put your wad together with TRwest and save the wad on a new file (don't forget to add .was or it will crash)
-add or copy a new level block info in script.txt and add the lines for objects that have specific names, like I said earlyer
-rename the title in your level block in script.txt and ALSO the bit after "Level= DATA=wadname"
-rename an existing level in English.txt to the levelname you chose in script.txt
-load the objects in the LE and output a .tom and name it the same as you named your wad with TRwest

then compile your level and try to play your level, I think it should work then

these are roughly the basic steps you need to take to add your own custom level, refer to the manual for examples

sounds to me the wad is missing animations for the baddy, but most likely for Lara
did you encounter any Animation Dependancy error in TRwest and tried to save the wad anyways by deleting other objects?

if so, it's best to start over and leave anything dependant and related to Lara intact when you add the objects into your wad
