To Ale: I'm editing the list very often and sometimes I delete or add some things. Therefore I suggest you compile the "HELP" file when the list is completed and everything is confirmed - just to get rid of a headache

Texture Edit :
Texture Edit is a Windows program that assists in the creation of texture tile sets for use with the Tomb Raider Level Editor. Complying with the 64x64 tile requirements the program automatically snaps to tiles to allow for copying into new texture tile sets.

ATexture :
Little program for adding new pages of textures and animation textures.

BartTool :
A DOS program to copy rooms, lights from levels. Has other features too.

EasyLife :
Change the script and camera co-ordinates in your level the easy way, with 'Easy Life!

GetLara :
WHAT IS IT?
A mesh extractor for Tomb Raider II .TR2 files.
WHAT DOES IT DO?
Reads .TR2 files (optimized for WALL.TR2, also works on others), writes a 3D Studio .3DS file containing Lara's mesh; also writes a bunch of texture .BMP files. The 3DS model uses the texture .BMP files to display the textures of Lara's skin, hair and clothing.
WHAT DOESN'T IT DO?
This is an extractor only, it doesn't display anything graphical. It also does not apply the "bones" (Inverse Kinematics) - that's left as an exercise for the user ;-) (It's really not that difficult). This extractor works for Tomb Raider II files only, not for TR1 or TR3 files.
WHO'S IT FOR?
Anyone with a decent 3D modeling program (e.g. 3D Studio MAX) and an interest in creating interesting animations with Lara.

Jenny :
This utility will allow changes to be made in a Tombpc.dat file and TR3 script files.

CutScene Editor :
View the cutscene data (TR4&5) and convert TR4 cutscenes to TR5

Metasequoia :
Metasequoia is a polygon modeler for 3DCG and game development. It provides you efficient modeling works. It is very easy to use and learn. Even a beginner of 3DCG will be able to manage it one day. It runs on Windows 95/98/NT4.0/2000/XP.
One of features is a subdivision surface. It enables to create complex and organic objects as like humans or creatures, and works with a light response.
Other features are
* Blobby object (Metaball)
* 3D paint for mapping
* Various formats to import and export, for example, DXF, LWO, 3DS, COB, OBJ, and so on.
* Plug-ins that you can make with Metasequoia-SDK
* e.t.c.

Remap :
Will re-map texture sheets to levels exported with Return2.exe.

Re-Script :
Restores default script files to your TRLE script folder. Included in Script Editing Studio.

Return2 :
Will extract the room geometry of whole levels.

WADFixer : *
This utility will copy all your existing WAD files, as well as the txt versions of your script and english, into a safe folder.
Then by clicking on WADFixer.bat you can restore back to the safe copies.
This is very handy if you have installed levels that use TRWest or custom scripts.

Room Viewer :
Viewers for rooms of TR levels. Can add lights, show two rooms and edit enemy zones. You must have OpenGL installed.

TRWest : *
With TRwest, you can combine wads, create wads from scratch, extract TR4 wads from a .tr4 file, and decompile script data. Every good level maker needs this tool to create an original level.

More Coming Soon...

More links, e-mail, authors, etc. have been added! Some errors in the list were fixed.

AddPage :
A little DOS program for adding new pages of textures and animation textures to PHD files.

ATexture :
A little DOS program for adding animated textures to PHD files.

Tomb Raider Gold Utilities :
This pack includes many small programs and they can: add or remove water in rooms, change lights, change textures etc.

TRLight :
A small DOS program for changing intensity of light.

TRScripter :
Edits Tomb Raider 2 and 3 (and 2G and 3G) game scripts (tombpc.dat, trtla.dat). You can change all texts, parameters of game
and unpack logos. But you must have a Java virtual machine installed. If you want to run
TRScripter, enter for example this: jre.exe -cp TRScripter.jar TRScripter

TRUnpacker :
Unpacks Tomb Raider 4 PAK files

TRProject :
Another program for texture viewing, with more functions. It allows you to load a phd file (note that only full game phd's are supported, demo versions are not supported). Once loaded the graphics set can be viewed, as can the palette and the
individual textures. Graphics sets can be loaded and saved and individual textures can be pixel edited from within the editor. Rooms can be viewed in 3d with texture mapping. After the installation you
have to copy Template.bmp file to your root dir (C:\).

TRueMesh :
With this program, you can view meshes from TR files. You must have OpenGL installed.

TRWadEd :
Useful tool for editing WAD files. This is a texture editor that will allow limited editing from within the program itself. Bitmaps can be saved\loaded, raw data imported/exported. No support for meshes.
The file template.bmp should be in the same directory as the executable to ensure operation.

TRx :
A simple utility (500 bytes of code in a 40kb MFC wrapper) that will reduce the ammount of time needed to upload and download custom TR levels. Please note this only holds true if you did NOT want any changes to the textiles. TRx simply strips away the textiles from the level you wish and allows you to save all the room data, etc. in a seperate file for upload and download. Example: original TR3 level -
City.Tr2 , originally 3493kb. Stripped off the textiles with TRx, the resulting city.trx file weighed in at 1187kb. Using PkZip it went down to a 596kb zip file.

TR5 Edit:
Tomb Raider 5 SaveGame Editor. Simple to use and with a good looking interface.

TR Texture Manager :
Used to Export/import level's textures as 256 X 256 .tga page sheets. Can be be worked on/imported back into: All TR1/TR2 & TR3 levels. Suited for: TR2/TR3 & that other game... Most people use this for pasting texture sheets into levels; can't be used for model building.
