# TombEngine
In 2000, Core gave us a great gift of a level editor where people can create their own custom levels based on TR4.
Over the decades, the engine was upgraded massively via TREP and TRNG:
TREP (Tomb Raider Engine Patcher) is a tool that allows you to modify the exe to expand certain limits and implement new features.
TRNG builds upon TREP and gives a lot of new features including its own scripting language and even more extended limits.
In the year 2000, Core gave us a great gift: level editor where people can create their own custom levels based on TR4 engine.
unfortunately it was quite limited, hence over the decades, the engine was upgraded massively via TREP and TRNG:
- TREP (Tomb Raider Engine Patcher) is a tool that allows you to modify the exe to expand certain limits and implement new features.
- TRNG builds upon TREP and gives a lot of new features including its own scripting language and even more extended limits and its own DLL.
However, TRNG is a closed-source and essentially an abandonware. No one is able to fix well-known bugs in TRNG and implement new features,
although you can still implement with plugin (with C++ knowledge) however it is not user-friendly (you need to know C++) and it is poorly documented.

TEN (TombEngine) is supposed to be a new engine which is (most importantly) open-source, removes limits, and fixes bugs from the original game,
it also provides support for Lua (a programming language), all objects from TR1-5, and many more exciting features and gameplay functionalities such as: corner shimmying or enlarged 2D map (where you can build a massive level).

TEN (TombEngine) is based on TR5 engine which has been gradually built upon that.

2) launch TombEngine.sln and compile
3) Once compiled, make a separate folder and copy everything from the Build folder (before compilation there will be nothing in that folder) and also copy the scripts folder to your TombEngine executable directory (make sure you have data, texture files aswell)
> Windows will also complain about missing dll files (Bass etc) in that case copy the dlls from the Libs folder
> Visual studio might also complain about the NuGet packages, to fix that:
> 1) Delete the packages folder
> 2) Go back to Visual studio
> 3) Right click on solution explorer and restore Nuget Packages
> 4) Compile again
4) Once that is done, you should now be able to go to TombEditor, make a simple level, compile and run it with TombEngine
