The spikes will now stick in and out. If you type 16 the spikes will stick out contantly. When you type 32 the spike will retract after one time. Dont forget to press enter when you typed the number or it wont work. IP: Logged
MichaelB Member Posts: 222 From: Registered: May 2000 | posted 05-22-2001 05:41 PM call me a party-pooper... try page 83 of the manual. there are 16 (!)values to point the spikes in different directions. adding 32 to any of the values causes the spikes to stick out one time and then retract forever. ------------------ How can I be dead already?

I think he has an online version (not pdf) -rob ------------------ Home of the newest addition to Lara's motor pool! IP: Logged

Seen it in TR3, but I'm not sure if it was in TR4 (will find out soon when my object archive is done though) ------------------ Tomb Raider - Ancient Legends levels (2), walkthroughs, tutorials, wallpapers and other TR goodies on driber.cjb.net !!! new: preview of the OBJECT ARCHIVE !!!

Conan the Barbarian Member Posts: 293 From:Basingstoke, Hampshire, England Registered: Aug 2001 | posted 09-13-2001 11:58 AM TEETH SPIKES Type in one of the following digits in the OCB: Vertical in Room Edit above view 0 = Pointing south 1 = Pointing south west 2 = Pointing west 3 = Pointing north west 4 = Pointing north 5 = Pointing north east 6 = Pointing east 7 = Pointing south east Horizontal 8 = Pointing south 9 = Pointing south west 10 = Pointing west 11 = Pointing north west 12 = Pointing north 13 = Pointing north east 14 = Pointing east 15 = Pointing south east You can also add a value of 16 to the above to make the spikes stick out constantly (like the old TR spikes) Adding 32 to the above will force the spikes out once and then retract forever. For example: To create a spike that will shoot out downward from the ceiling and retract back in forever you would do the following sum - 0 +32 = 32 so type in 32 on the bit field. It may seem a little complex but play around with it, try building an octagonal tunnel and place spikes around the walls so you get a ring of spikes to shoot out. The two sets of values (one for Vertical, one for Horizontal) will become obvious when you try to put Vertical spikes in a horizontal tunnel. Hope this helps - if you need you can d/l the .pdf file fromthe web It's also on the 2nd disk if you have TRC ------------------ Conan the Barbarian IP: Logged

aktrekker Member Posts: 454 From:WA, USA Registered: Apr 2001 | posted 09-13-2001 12:44 PM Just seeing things. Read the title page - Tomb Raider Level Editor Manual & Tutorial. As for the problems with page 83, maybe you need a newer version of Acrobat? Or reinstall it. I've never had a problem. Printed the whole thing out. IP: Logged

aktrekker Member Posts: 454 From:WA, USA Registered: Apr 2001 | posted 09-13-2001 01:02 PM It appears Conan was the one who brought it back. But there have been database problems lately, so maybe it came back on its own. IP: Logged
