i really dont think this can ever be done

(i mean make totally new animations for Lara
and the enemies)

because i think the animations are hardcoded in the tr programming..

but i could be wrong

There are limits, of course.
We cannot change the meaning of existing animations or how you make them happen from within the game. But we can change those animations. And because of the way the animations were done, we can cause one animation to lead into a totally new animation, something never seen before.
As an example, it would be possible to change the red ninja so when he attacks Lara, he does a jump and a spin kick.
Unfortunately, I don't think Lara has attack animations, because I would love to see her punch out the bad guys.
But since we haven't analyzed all of the animations yet, there may be some surprises in store. Be patient, many people are working on this.

Hard coded? HAhah **** is hardcoded but not the anims! If you know how to use 3D max and TRviewer its possible, but to make 100% new anims 4 lara or someone else..well its just TOO much work......BUT its possible..I saw it by my self in the little testlevel...but I don't think that someone will do this gib work....




Those pic are from two new /unfinshed) title levels (http://www.digitalcore.de/download/title.tr4 here is the testlevel)

i know that eidos has in their 'legal ' mumbo
jargon that it is illegal to disassemble their program and alter it

later....

the planets work, but the log with lara, perhaps too much polygons, it looks screwed up in game. and there is no animation on the log one. anyway, it's very nice!

btw, it didn't altered the program.... it just changed the animations, which is not hardcoded actually.

Yeh, the log don't animate properly. The planets work ok, but keep pausing in between turns.
