Hi, mates! 
I think it would be useful for Level Designers and especially LE newbies to have a list of all existing TRLE tools and utilities with a brief description of each tool. It would be very convinient to my mind. Of course, I know what most of these programs do but you know it better. So, if there's anyone who understands me I'd very grateful if he/she would write a short description of at least some programs. Thereby if some people write short "Abouts" on each program we'll have our list completed As far as there are several tools on one subject (e.g. Texture Editors) it would be good idea to put Advantages / Disadvantages of these tools along with the description. Ideally, we could make a table of all tools with the following information on each tool - Description, Advantages / Disadvantages, Author, Author's e-mail, Direct link to a download, etc. - but it is too difficult. I'm sorry if you find my idea a bad one; but I still think it would be useful (for me also). Ah, almost forgot, if I forgot to put down any tool please let me know and I'll add it to the list. Thank you in advance P.S. I have almost all programs listed below as well as their different versions!
P.P.S. There are about 91 of them  The list in alphabetical order (those marked in bold are ones which have been reviewed below the entire list):

Excelent idea. Let me start:LevelInfo:
This VB program will open any Tomb Raider 2 or 3 level file and output its content to a screen report.
The level of detail that this report will list can be set in the menus.
All texture tiles can be extracted (a long process) to a collection of bitmaps.
The report itself can be saved to a CSV (comma separated value) file that makes it human readable. It can also be opened by any text utilities, by MS Excel and can be manipulated by the code routines used to deal with BINARY type files or SEQUENTIAL, variable lenght record files.
I found it invaluable in making my TextureAssign program since I could read the exact values stored in the level file.
Warning: long to use. TextureAssign:
This VB program will open any Tomb Raider 2 or 3 level and list the content of all object textures, animated textures, sprite textures and sprite sequences (animation).
It will permit the following edition:
adding a new texture, editing or deleting an existing one;
adding, editing or deleting any texture animation;
adding, editing or deleting any sprite texture (please, prettyplease, read the HelpFile on this);
and finally adding, editing or deleting any sprite sequence (please, PLEASE, READ the HelpFile, OK ?).
Partial work can be saved to a special list file which structure follows exactly the internal structure of the TR objects being edited. This list file can be later inserted in the selected level to make a new, immediately playable, level file.
The fileformat is completely described in an included text file.
Complicated but safe to use. The official editor made this somewhat useless. WADINFO:
This VB program will open Tomb Raider 4 Level Editor WAD files and will, at this stage, list the object texture coordinates. It will also draw those texture on the bitmap extracted from that WAD.
Update, 2001/02/04 The WADinfo can now edit WAD object texture coordinates, save the changes correctly and will make an immediatly useable WAD file.
In short, move textures around!
Tutorial included!
However, please make back-ups :-)
The official editor made this somewhat useless. WADANIMEDIT:
An unfinished program like the LevelInfo. Outputs WAD info in raw format to a text file. Very long to use (15 min for one wad.
This VB program will open Tomb Raider 4 Level Editor WAD files and will, at this stage, list all animation related data.
This list is printable and can be saved in a variety of formats, including the CSV which can be opened in Excel. Ultimately this program will aid animation edition and will rebuild new immediately useable WADs. All thse can be downloaded from http://www.geocities.com/richmannsoft/larapage.html URL edited: No more period...
...forgor to edit the hidden code too... The reason I have not continued working on it is simple: my job happened to me.
I might still take it one but if anyone feels like going ahead... If anyone presently working on this, let this board know. [This message has been edited by Number6 (edited 06-10-2002).] [This message has been edited by Number6 (edited 06-10-2002).] IP: Logged |

AI Edit and 3D ai edit:
remove them. They are integrated in wadmerger.
wadmerger:
features:
copy objects from tr1-5 levels and wad files to wad files.
Enable or disable collesion.
clear moveables/meshes
add sounds
change animation order
change switch animations
view objects in 3d
view animations in 3d (in version 1.8, need to release yet)
bugs:
sounds from tr4 levels won't work yet - will be fixed in v1.8
sounds from tr5 need manual conversion since format is differend.
Advantages:
chose of many skins
many options in the same program
Disadvantages:
a bit hard to use because of the many features it has
TR2Wad
im not working on this tool anymore since you can make wads with wadmerger directly from the tr levels and with less bugs.
FontEdit
Load the fonts file and save it as tga file. Also import tga files to font. Build your level after changing and your new font are in your level!
Cutscene editor
load cutscenes and display some basic information about them, still need updates.
del.trc
it not a tool, but a level from core that was on some tr5 cds but unable to play. this is the fixed version
FloorEdit
features:
convert tr4 levels to tr2&3
view all rooms in 3d and 2d (2d is the little map like in trle)
view all triggers and items
did I forgot any? I know that I created some tools that I once released and didn't do anything after that so maybe I didn't see them.

Easylife - What is it? Small DOS utility that automates converting txt to dat. What does it do? Takes your edited script and english txt files, converts them to dat and moves to the correct folder. Limitations Needs editing to work properly for installations that are not into TRLE standard target folders (i.e. your Hard Drive isn't called C etc) Benefits Small, quick and open source WADFixer - What is it? Like above, small DOS utility for backing up WAD files What does it do? Upon running WADInstall.bat it backs up all WAD files into a safe folder, then on running the WADFixer.bat program all the safe files are copied back into graphics/wad folder. Limitations Will copy WADS what ever state they are in, so make sure they are in "Clean State"(read below) Benefits If you use TRWest or play levels that use a .tws file to add/delete objects from your WAD you will change the contents of the WAD. When you next play a level that relys on the original objects being in the WAD you will run into problems. WADFixer backs up all WAD files (including Custom WADS) so they can be restored easily.
Make sure your WADS are in the state that you want to restore to before running WADInstall
Again..small, quick and open source
Also allows installation where the default path of C:\Program Files\Core Design etc has been changed.
Both can be downloaded from
Tomb Raider Custom Levels

TRFix
Briefly, it tries to fix common errors in PRJ files so that the room editor can load the project. It doesn't fix everything, but just tries to make the project loadable so you don't have to start over. It might have to delete some objects, lights, or even rooms, but at least you won't lose everything.

BmpToRaw:
The LE needs the RAW bitmap format for logos and skies. This format isn't supported by many painting programs, so you can use BmpToRaw to convert logos or skies in BMP format (standard windows bitmap, supported by almost all programs) into RAW files.------------------

Wait a sec, so what you are saying is that you can't recognize your own programs? And you want me to look through all programs to find each prog's author? Well, that is tough; it'll take a lot of time...[This message has been edited by TheMask (edited 06-16-2002).] IP: Logged |

Fixed SFX.bat Elpasodude
Jack Stefan Schneider
Mesh Jack Stefan Schneider
Return2 + Remap Turbo Pascal
Sound Jack Stefan Schneider
Strpix Turbo Pascal
Texture Builder John F. Jones
Texture Editor John Dodis
TR_Exe Ale
TR_Prj Ale
TR2prj Aktrekker
TRFix Aktrekker Nota : Aktrekker's TRFix is wrongly named "TR_Prj Fix" in your list, which can produce confusion with my program TR_Prj. It would be easier if you could put your list in alphabetic order
TR_Exe
TR_Exe can open any TR4 file produced by Tomb Raider Level Editor or provided with the original Eidos C.D. (TR4, Last Revelation) and can show rooms, objects, triggers, OCB codes, switches, timer zones... hidden inside the file.
One can navigate from room to room, and check the relationship between objects and triggers.
The result of this analysis can be saved in a text file for further reference.
TR_Exe can also open savegames file, tell in which room stands Lara, and teleport Lara to any other room.
TR_Prj
Basically, what is done by TR_Exe with TR4 files can be done with TR_Prj with PRJ project files.
The way to use both programs is almost identical, except that TR_Prj does not modify savegames.
Instead, it allow modification of OCB codes, switches and timer zones, inside your project file.
There is also a checking facility to search your project for errors or warnings.

I changed the description of texture editing studio, it's description seemed rather lacking.
Texture editing studio - edits and arranges textures with lots of effects, including pixel editing, color keying, RGB editing, ghosting, and 1/4 size tiles. Opens all .tga texture files, even those that do not work in the TRLE, such as the house textures. Uses a simple point-and-click interface to create the ultimate texture set.
ShrinKit - reduces images to TR texture sizes. [This message has been edited by Raider Of Tombs' Clone (edited 06-17-2002).] IP: Logged |

I've added a few programs to the list. I've also found a few names of some programs' authors...see above ^ . I've decided to post direct links and e-mails too ^ Well, I guess I'll have to work on it myself ... Here's what I've found so far: TR3 Viewer Application :
Our TR3 Viewer application allows you to load a TR2 and TR3 data files and view the level through a first person perspective. You can use Descent-like controls to move through the level and rotate to look at the level from different angles. Some graphic features have been implemented and can be toggled on and off. Features include textures, fog, culling and lighting. Some important features that don't work yet are alpha blending and the inclusion of items into the level. These may be implemented later. The performance is only good on high end machines with good 3D video cards that have inbuilt OpenGL hardware acceleration. Tomb Raider Position Editor :
"Enables the editing of Lara's position in a savegame - north/south, east/west, height, and orientation positions may be amended." Data Raider :
Extracts various data from level-data files. Sound Raider :
Extracts soundfiles from a sound-archive data file (source code included) Tomb Raider 2 8/16-bit Texture Twiddler :
Sets the rendering quality (8-bit or 16-bit textures) for MacOS Tomb Raider 2. It works on both the original TR2 and TR2 Gold. GameFlow :
A scripting utility that allows some customization of TR2 (+ TR2 Gold):
* edit all text strings and level names
* change CD track used as level background music (plus the "secret found" sound)
* control some aspects of game flow (level order, demo mode, and maybe even what happens when Lara dies)
* comes with complete script for German TR2 Gold demo
* reads script and generates a new tombpc.dat file GetLara :
A TR2 Lara mesh extractor (to 3D Studio 3DS format). See README inside ZIP for more info. MeshJack! :
Views 3D meshes/objects from TR1/UB/2/3. TR2 to BMP :
A TR2 texture extractor that seems to use the correct transparent color (pink) but it splits up the textures of the same level instead of keeping it one single image like Jack! does Jack! :
1st Source: Extracts/imports textures from/to all TR1 (German and English versions), Unfinished Business (TR1 Gold), 2 (+ demo), TR3 (+ demo), and TR4.
2nd Source: Extracts the textures
from Tomb Raider 1 / Unfinished Business / 2 / 3 as *.bmp pictures.
Since Version 0.6 you can also import own textures into the levels. Lara Position :
Larapos.exe will define where in the level Lara will start.
Syntax: larapos levelname.phd/tub room row column
This is not like position editor, which edits the saved game file; this program edits the PHD/TUB level file. Tomb Raider Flares :
Increases brightness in TR1 "PHD" level files. TRViewer :
Views, im-/exports textures from/to TR1-4. Views, im-/exports 3D Studio meshes from TR1-3 (i.e. replace Lara!). Load/replace palette. TRue View :
"A level viewer for all retail versions of Tomb Raider (1, UB, Gold, 2, 2 Gold, 3, 3 Gold, Last Revelation). It also works on some demo levels (The Times Exclusive and others). It will display entire levels (or cut-scenes), and selectively display the meshes (with animation!), statics, sprites, per-vertex lighting, animated textures, etc. It allows you to position the camera anywhere in the level, moving through walls and objects as needed." Requires OpenGL. Includes source code. Level Info :
Lists level info and extract texture tiles. Tomb Ripper :
Lists, plays, and extracts sounds from TR2/3. SoundJack! :
Plays/extracts sounds from TR1, Unfinished Business, and TR2-4. Xtract Tomb Raider WAVs :
Extracts sounds from TR1 (with a little work), and easily from TR2-4. Includes incomplete descriptive TR2 sound list. Map Viewer :
Main Objectives :
- Create/modify Tomb Raider 2 levels
Optional Objectives :
- Create/modify textures, goodies, enemies, ...
The Big TODO List :
- Fully understand the .TR2 file format
- Edit level structure somehow
- Generate all automatic info (aka "Compile")
- Test level integrity
- Use other rendering Hardwares
- ...
With the Map Viewer, you can fly into, out of, below, above, and through (passing through doors/walls/rock) the TR2/TR3 level of your choice in color and with correct lighting (and transparency for TR3). It works for 3Dfx Voodoo video cards and all other cards with a software rendering version, but a Direct3D port is in the works, as well as a full-blown level editor. More Coming soon...

TBuilder
If you're tired of cutting and pasting tiles in your paint program in order to make a complete texture set then here is a little utility that'll make your life easier.
TBuilder is the first texture editing utility for Tomb Raider Room Editor that automates that process. Just load an existing set and select the tiles you need.Load another one and so on.
You can also paste the selected tile to clipboard and export it in your paint program for modifications. Import the modified version back to TBuilder and put it in your texture set!TRtextur
Allows you to im/export textures as 256x256 TGA files to/from all TR1-TR3 levels. More Coming Soon... IP: Logged |

Yes, it would be very good. Though I'm trying my best not to make this thread a mess Everything's written in order: name of the program, author, author's e-mail, direct link to the program; well, I think it's obvious I think I'm done for today, 8 hours of continous work... I'll continue tomorrow IP: Logged |

If there's a tool with broken link, e-mail it to me that I can host it I am downloading all that already are available now. This is VERY good, as I said before. Thanks TheMask for such idea! IP: Logged |

I'm really glad you find it useful Added some links,emails, etc... Texture Jack :
With Texture Jack you can open any Tomb Raider level in the games data folder, and save its textures. For Tomb Raider Chronicles levels (.trc), you need to copy the level to your hard drive, and rename its file extension from .trc to .tr4. Ex. change rich1.trc to rich1.tr4. Then you can open it with Texture Jack. Texture Editor :
With Texture Editor, you can create your own custom Tga file for TRLE. Open a source image and add the tiles to your own new Tga, or an existing one. Both version 3 and version 2 are good. The only problem with version 2 is that it remains resident in memory,even after you close it.When you are done using version 2, do Ctrl+Alt+Delete, click on the Texture Edit, and click End task. Its worth it. Version 2 is good. This program is another must for a good level editor. TR2Wad :
With TR2Wad, you can extract objects from TR2-TR5. From there you arrange the objects into their appropriate slots using TRwest. TR_Fix :
If you have a broken .prj file, then this program might be able to fix it. TR Save Game Editor :
This isn't a TRLE tool. This program is used to edit save games. It's very easy to use. To use it you must place it in the root directory of the game. Ex. For TRLE you would place the program "C:\Program Files\Core Design\trle", then open it and edit the save games. Actually, you just place it in a folder with save games in it. Texture Edit :
The Texture Editor enables the porting of bitmaps into the application which are then converted to tiled images and applied, via the Chronicles Level Editor, to the rooms. Tomb Edit :
TombEdit is an editor with a graphic desktop to edit savegames from Tomb Raider 1, 1 Gold, 2, 2 Gold and 3 with the following features:
Show and change settings of:
* Inventory
* Weapons
* Items
* Life resources

also:
