I just started skimming through that massive Adobe file they call the manual for the level editor, and I was curious if I could do scripted scenes in custom levels. I don't mean camera pans and fly-bys, I mean straight-up, the AI takes control of Lara, makes her dash towards an enemy, guns blazing, does a rolling dive, kicks the guy in the shins, kills him with a barrage of bullets, and then control is given back to the player (or something like that) -- i.e., I could script out an entirely-AI-driven level, where the "player" just watches Lara do insane stunts, as scripted by yours truly (after I design a level, of course). Is it possible? Thanks in advance.------------------

to our regreds, NO 
up to this point Eidos hasn't released the program to make animations (doubtfull if they ever will.....)
Nobody has made sucha program eighter, but if there are some real hardcore programmers out there, maybe in the future.....btw: I'm wondering if the cut-scenes were ALSO made with 3dsmax.... well, keep hoping dude! ------------------

well that, what I kno is, that the cut-scenes where in TR1-3 in extrat level files! And in TR4/5 they were IN the *.tr4 file! So I think that thay must have edited the cut-scenes with the editor....if you know, what I mean........

The CUTSEQ.PAK contains all information like cameras, animations, etc. I think it needs an other editor.IP: Logged |

Hmm.. well, just when I thought I could do homemade Tomb Raider movies using the in-game engine, too. 
Thanks for the help, and I'll keep my eyes open.------------------
