Thanks so much for telling me how to do the level editor downloaded games. "OK - Iīll try to explain it to you.
First of all you have to have the TR level editor CD, that comes with TR Chronicles.
When it is installed you put all the home. files into trle/graphic/wads folder, the script folder you put in the trle root directory. What does the text after the notebooks say? Maybe itīs just a readme file - then thatīs exactly what you do - read the file, otherwise you could check through the trle and see where the corresponding file is (the file that has the same name and icon) and replace it with the new one in your downloaded level folder.
When you have put all the new files in itīs places, itīs time to convert the .tom into a playable level. You double click on tomb2pc.exe and then click "add". In the batch window chose home.tom (for this level, or the name of the level you want to play) and then press build all. When all is builded, you can see that in the output window (build all is complete), you close the PC levelconverter window and double click on tomb4.exe, and it should be there - The new level!!
Some levels come as a .tr4 file (instead of as a .tom file), then you just put in in the data folder and you donīt have to convert it
Phew! Boy is this hard to explain, I hope I have rememberd everything and that you can understand it!
Good luck and raid on!" I will try to do what you said the only problem is I svaed it to a new folder on my desktop not the trle folder you were talking about so how do I move it to the folder it should be in. Thanks again.  ------------------

Okay I did everything I was supposed to and when I clicked on .tr4 file nothing has changed? I don't understand. What am I doing wrong? If anyone else reads this thread, could you help me. I really want to play something new. Do I need to be running a special program aside from the level editor to run these games? H-E-L-P!!!!IP: Logged |

If you had to put in a new wad, im guessing you need the script for it as well. It should be with the download file, if not, email the person who made the level, and talk to them about it.------------------

Thank You Tomb On The Brain.I have another question. When downloading a level editor game can I download it straight to the level editor folder? Please forgive me for all the question but I'd really like to learn to do this and see those levels that everyone has created cause the pictures look AMAZING I am in awe looking at what everyone has created. And there are so much good reviews that I really need to check it out so I need to learn how to do this. My apologies again for all the questions, but I do appreciate your understanding. Thanks again everyone. IP: Logged |

Hi again!
I suggest you create a new folder to wich you download all your new TR levels (i promise you it will be a lot, once you get started)
And then from there you unzip it into the TRLE.
Have you got the level going yet? If not, exactly what level is it, so we can have a look at it and tell you more exactly what to do!
(Most levels comes with a readme file, that tells you what to do. If this home level has not got one, maybe you should try one that has, until you know what to do?!)IP: Logged |
