Hi Gokuz,The logo "Tomb Raider" is located here: C:\Program Files\Core Design\trle\Logo\uklogo.bmp The boot up screen logo "TR Level Editor" is located here: C:\Program Files\Core Design\trle\load.bmp They can changed using a paint program such as PhotoShop. I suspect that the fonts are hard-coded as they aren't kept in the WADs. There are a few letters stored in the House WAD from TR3 which demonstrate how they are stored (most likely within the tomb4.exe). WBM IP: Logged |

This is the readme file in logos;
To change the title logo :Create a bitmap 512x256 16bit.
Save the bitmap as a .raw file RGB Interleaved ie RGB RGB RGB (Filesize will be 384k)
Then run logo.bat. But how do i save it as a .raw file i dont have that option in ,in the save as dropdown bar? IP: Logged |

hi gokuz,
go to http://www.tr-resurrection.de .
Webknight has got a tool on his website programmed by a member of the German Eidos forum. The programme is in German, but it´s very easy to use.
The name is "Raw2bmp".
A short explanation:
You have to start the "MSDOS Eingabeaufforderung" (I don´t know the English Name, but I´m sure you know what I mean  , the programme which you use to convert your script.txt to script.dat (the dos interface) .
You´ll have to go to the directory where you´ve installed raw2bmp.
Copy your *.bmp file or *.raw file into the same directory.
Then go in the dos interface and type raw2bmp karnak.raw (for example). The programme will make a new file named karnak.bmp
After the sentence "Des wars, uff" the converting is finished. If you want to convert your bmp file again in a raw file, you have to do the same thing the other way round.
e.g.
raw2bmp karnak.bmp
and then you have a karnak.raw file.
I hope, in spite of my terrible English you did understand what I mean 
cu

Interesting. My suspition was that they were in the Font.pc file found in the wads folder  . The only problem is figuring out how to access it to make changes....

If you mess with the script enough, you can get playstation buttons instead of letters! IP: Logged |

Hi KingSpyder, Nice find You're right, the fonts are stored in "Font.pc". I didn't notice that file. The way to open it is to change the extension from .pc to .raw and open it with PhotoShop. I tried doing this briefly but the channels and bit depth options need to be fiddled around with to get them to display properly. A nice challenge for the TRLE folks here.. First person to get them to display properly gets a bottle of champagne courtesy of KingSpyder! WBM IP: Logged |

Thanks for the tip! Try this: Open it with width set at 1024 and height set at 64. Set the Color Channels to Single Channel (greyscale). For File Structure set the Header Size to 0 (zero), Interleave on, Order to RGB and leave Flipped unchecked. Here's a shot of what I got:  And, here's a link to the full size version: http://home.bwave.com/kingspyder/post/Font1.jpg quote:

So, do get to award it to myself if I get it figured out?

I can pull that out of any TR4 file. But it is not a complete font. It only has the characters actually used, and I think they are only used on the PS version.
If someone is a good font maker, I can create a TGA or BMP version of the graphics for you to work with.
