Tomb Engine
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 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:
- Clone the repository to your GitHub Desktop.
- Open
TombEngine.sln
. - Compile the solution.
- Once compiled, create a separate folder to serve as your main TEN directory (or create a test TEN project using TombIDE)
- Copy everything inside the
Build
folder to the main TEN directory. - Ensure you have the necessary level data and texture files.
- In case Windows warns about missing DLLs (bass.dll, etc.), copy the missing DLL files found inside the
Libs
folder to your mainTEN
directory.
Visual Studio may warn about NuGet packages. To fix:
- Delete the
Packages
folder. - Go back to Microsoft Visual Studio.
- Right-click on the TEN solution in the Solution Explorer tab and select "Restore NuGet Packages".
- If it doesn't help, manually install
directxtk_desktop_2019
andMicrosoft.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.
