TRLE Community Level Deux ( forum thread | website )
The second go at a forum community level. Started TREEBLE and continued by Staticon.

What is the TRLE?
- TRLE stands for Tomb Raider Level Editor. It is a program that allows you to create your own Tomb Raider levels.

Where can I get it?
- The LE comes with the PC version of Tomb Raider Chronicles. You can also buy it online on sites like amazon.com and ebay. You may also download the LE free of charge here.

What do I need to run the LE?
- The LE runs even on fairly old PCs. Supported Operating Systems are Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows XP and Vista. There is also a version for the Macintosh.

When I try to run it, but I keep getting an error message and it throws me back to the desktop, what's wrong?
- The program is designed to work on a resolution of 1024x768 and 16bits color. Adjust your display settings and try again.

In Windows XP the roomeditor keeps spinning when I try move the view. How can this be solved?
- Have a look in this thread for a work-around.

How do I learn to use the LE?
- The setup installs a manual which contains a tutorial level for the beginners and an advanced section for the more experienced users. It is highly recommended you do the entire tutorial level first, it covers all basic operations, it makes you familiar with the LE interface and and learns you how to build your own custom level. If there is something in the manual you don't understand, the forum community is here to assist you.

Can I use objects/sound from other Tomb Raider games?
- The current level editor is from Tomb Raider The Last Revelation and objects from other games in the series will not work correctly unless edited by someone very talented, and without using TRWest to put them in the right slots.

Can I modify any of the textures or objects?
Stripix is an application tool to modify the textures in a wad and also the .dxf(s) (objects), it allows you to make new outfits.

Can I download the Tomb Raider executable file (the Tomb Raider game engine that comes with the Level Editor?
It is now perfectly legal to host or download the Tomb Raider executable that originally came with the Level Editor.

Will there be an editor for AoD, Legend, etc?
- There will be No new Level Editor in the forseeable future

What do I need in order to play a Tomb Raider custom level?
- You need the Tomb Raider Level Editor, as this contains the TR4 engine that runs the level(s)

How do I set up a custom level?
- Usually, custom levels come with a readme file that contains all the relevant info. If it doesn't, or you can't understand the info, the following stages should help:

1. Download the custom level
2. Using 'Winzip' (or other decompression software), un-zip the contents of the Zipfile.
3. Files with the following names Script.dat, English.dat should be copied to the main TRLE directory i.e. C:\Program Files\Core Design\trle.
4. Files with the following names *****.TOM, *****.CD, *****.lar, *****.SAM, *****.sfx, *****.SWD, *****.txt, *****.WAD (where '*****' denotes level title) should be copied to C:\Program Files\Core Design\trle\graphics\wads.
5. Any .WAV files that have a number in the title, should be copied to C:\Program Files\Core Design\trle\audio.
6. Any .WAV files that have a name other than a number in the title, should be copied to C:\Program Files\Core Design\trle\sound\Samples.
7. Any .TR4 file should be copied to C:\Program Files\Core Design\trle\data.
8. If you have a TR4 file, the level will run once all files have been copied over, but if you have a .TOM file, you'll need to convert the level before you can play it, using the level converter found at C:\Program Files\Core Design\trle\tom2pc
