Tomb Engine

Logo

Tomb Engine (TEN) is an open-source custom level engine which aims to abolish limits and fix bugs of the classic Tomb Raider games. It aims to introduce new features, refine old ones, and provide a user-friendly level creation process. Current support includes:

  • Lua as the native scripting language.
  • Many objects from the original series (1-5).
  • Support for high framerate, antialiasing, mipmapping, and SSAO.
  • Full skinning support for all objects.
  • Full diagonal geometry support.
  • Uncapped map size.
  • A streamlined player control scheme.

Tomb Engine is used in conjunction with Tomb Editor. The repository can be found here.

Compiling Tomb Engine

To compile TEN, ensure you have installed:

  • Microsoft Visual Studio
  • Tomb Editor (for level creation and testing)

Steps:

  1. Clone the repository to your GitHub Desktop.
  2. Open TombEngine.sln.
  3. Compile the solution.
  4. Once compiled, create a separate folder to serve as your main TEN directory (or create a test TEN project using TombIDE)
  5. Copy everything inside the Build folder to the main TEN directory.
  6. Ensure you have the necessary level data and texture files.
  7. In case Windows warns about missing DLLs (bass.dll, etc.), copy the missing DLL files found inside the Libs folder to your main TEN directory.

Visual Studio may warn about NuGet packages. To fix:

  1. Delete the Packages folder.
  2. Go back to Microsoft Visual Studio.
  3. Right-click on the TEN solution in the Solution Explorer tab and select "Restore NuGet Packages".
  4. If it doesn't help, manually install directxtk_desktop_2019 and Microsoft.XAudio2.Redist packages via NuGet Package Manager.

Once done, you should be able to build a level with Tomb Editor and run it in TEN.
