This is a dynamic library for the classic Tomb Raider I game (TombATI version).
|
|
|
|
The purpose of the library is to reimplement all the routines performed by the
|
|
|
|
game and enhance the gameplay with new options.

## Installing

|
|
|
|

|
|
|
1. Install the [TombATI v1.7 patch](http://www.glidos.net/tombati.html).
|
|
|
|
2. Get a copy of the latest Tomb1Main release from
|
|
|
|
[here](https://github.com/rr-/Tomb1Main/releases).
|
|
|
|
3. Unpack the contents to your game directory. Make sure you overwrite existing
|
|
|
|
files (Tomb1Main_config.json5 can be left alone).

|
|
|
To play the Unfinished Business expansion pack, launch the game with `-gold`
|
|
|
|
command line switch:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Create a shortcut to `tombati.exe`
|
|
|
|
2. Select the newly created shortcut, go to Properties
|
|
|
|
3. At the end of the "target" field, append `-gold` so it looks something like
|
|
|
|
this:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
(...)\tombati.exe -gold
|
|
|
|
```

|
|
|
|
2021-03-07 15:14:35 +01:00
|
|
|
To configure Tomb1Main, edit the `Tomb1Main.json5` file in your text editor
|
|
|
|
such as Notepad. All the configuration is explained in that file.

## Q&A
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. **Is the game fully playable from beginning to the end?**
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yes. If you encounter a bug, please file a ticket.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. **Can we get HD textures? Reflections? Other graphical updates?**
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Eventually, probably yes. But first we need to decompile the renderer,
|
|
|
|
which is going to take a while (can't give an estimate).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. **Can we get braid in every level? Skyboxes? Flyby cameras? New animations? etc.**
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Not sure at this moment; this requires meddling with the original game
|
|
|
|
level files. It's one thing fixing a faulty trigger bit in The Great
|
|
|
|
Pyramid for the final secret, and another to insert a completely new
|
|
|
|
animation, a textured mesh or a sound file and pretend it's always been a
|
|
|
|
part of the original game. So far we haven't found a good way that'll keep
|
|
|
|
the code maintainable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. **Can I play this on Mac, Linux, Android...?**
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Currently only Windows version is available.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. **Do I really need to install this TombATI patch? Why not have just the .exe?**
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
One of our goals is to eventually provide a single .exe file (maybe with
|
|
|
|
some .dll-s related to multimedia) and only require the players to supply
|
|
|
|
the game data, i.e. the level files, music and FMVs. However, this requires
|
|
|
|
decompiling GFX and SFX routines which, again, is going to take a while.
