Here's some info on questions; Micheal Prager of that Top Listings Site said:1. How hard is it to put dinosaurs in?
1B. How hard to make them do 'anything' want them to do?
>>> been done a few times by now, but AI for them still seems to be a bit of a problem. Raptors work pretty well but are easy to kill. If you want to see a T-Rex in action play Volcano by Tomo...
3. How hard is it to put useable vehicles in, m'cycles, jeeps, 4-wheelers, etc.?
>>> Well, I have seen the bike (even one without sidecar (made by Robbase and I think used in Jungle Base Demo by Colin), the Jeep (many times), a quadbike (sort of, don't remember where) and a snowmobile (in Santa's Quest by Lilian Bobola), so a lot can be done here...
3B./C./D. ...
>>> don't think so, as the animation is a problem
4. Could you redesign around giant mosquitos & change them into miniature airplanes?
There are a few people out there who could probably have a go at this - sounds like a fun idea to me
5. Can you create any BOSSES?
Has the BIG DRAGON been used or is it useable? (TR 2 I think?)
>>> Yes, dragon has been used a few times by now.
What about the Big Blob in TR 1?
>>> No, have not seen that one
Can any of the TRLR BULLS be used, etc.?
>>> Of course - tons of levels use the bulls
What about Sophia, Natla, etc. in all their brilliance? Is that possible? AI like in Core games?
>>> There are a few Sophia levels out there (Treeble's favourite - LOL), but it is basically a retextured Lara (ie Lara's AI). Have not played Baddy's Searching Sophia yet, I understand she's in that one at the end (?)
Would it be possible to create a GIANT WOLF?
>>> retextured dog? probably not giant enough
How hard is it to create new creatures upon regular game creatures, etc...can you?
Could you make a GIANT RABBIT that could do the 'Hammer Pounding' thing w/its FEET?
>>> I would love to see that - Alice in Wonderland with a twist - LOL. Somebody should tell Baddy, Malte or Tomo who seem to be good at modifying enemies.
...
8. What TOOLS beside the editor are most needed & for what?
>>> see TRLE FAQ at Eidos Forum...
