Yes you can you must press O the bring up the ocb and press nothing in the ocb. The spikes will now stick in and out. If you type 16 the spikes will stick out contantly. When you type 32 the spike will retract after one time. Dont forget to press enter when you typed the number or it wont work.

call me a party-pooper...

try page 83 of the manual. there are 16 (!)values to point the spikes in different directions. adding 32 to any of the values causes the spikes to stick out one time and then retract forever.

if your saying that you get a blank page on 83, I've noticed that pdf's can be quite quirky. you may simply need to close, and reopen the manual. you may also try Pwhirl's site (TR level archives). I think he has an online version (not pdf)

HEY YOU GUYS, HOW DO YOU MAKE THE WHOLE CEILING COME DOWN WITH THE SPIKES? AND IF YOU CAN, HOW DO YOU STOP IT WITH A SWITCH?

I believed that sucha wall is not a wall, but acually an object. Seen it in TR3, but I'm not sure if it was in TR4 (will find out soon when my object archive is done though)

TEETH SPIKES

Type in one of the following digits in the OCB:

Vertical in Room Edit above view

0 = Pointing south
1 = Pointing south west
2 = Pointing west
3 = Pointing north west
4 = Pointing north
5 = Pointing north east
6 = Pointing east
7 = Pointing south east

Horizontal
8 = Pointing south
9 = Pointing south west
10 = Pointing west
11 = Pointing north west
12 = Pointing north
13 = Pointing north east
14 = Pointing east
15 = Pointing south east

You can also add a value of 16 to the above to make the spikes stick out
constantly (like the old TR spikes)

Adding 32 to the above will force the spikes out once and then retract forever.

For example: To create a spike that will shoot out downward from the ceiling
and retract back in forever you would do the following sum - 0 +32 = 32 so
type in 32 on the bit field.

It may seem a little complex but play around with it, try building an octagonal
tunnel and place spikes around the walls so you get a ring of spikes to shoot
out. The two sets of values (one for Vertical, one for Horizontal) will become
obvious when you try to put Vertical spikes in a horizontal tunnel.

Hope this helps - if you need you can d/l the .pdf file fromthe web

It's also on the 2nd disk if you have TRC

Just seeing things. Read the title page - Tomb Raider Level Editor Manual & Tutorial.

As for the problems with page 83, maybe you need a newer version of Acrobat? Or reinstall it. I've never had a problem. Printed the whole thing out.

i printed it out too...its only 100 pages and in color so it took a little bit longer but it does help cos if you are on page 89 and you forget how to do something you arent gonna remember everything from the past 89 pages. ive even got sections of mine with tabs and highlighted. if you can print it out i would. for sure

It appears Conan was the one who brought it back.
But there have been database problems lately, so maybe it came back on its own.

I brought it back

- I also posted an extract from the manual

- and uploaded the zipped .pdf to my webspace
