Emma P Moderator Posts: 405 From:Suffolk, England Registered: Apr 2001 | posted 06-15-2001 01:11 PM This is because you haven't set a load screen for the level you are playing. Next time you are playing the game, put lara in a place you like the look of and press and hold the F1 key. You should see some numbers in the top left hand corner of your screen. Make a note of them, then go to your script file. In the level details lokk at the exsisting levels to see how they are set out then type the load screen co-ordinates that you copied. Then go to dos and Type in the following. cd.. cd progra~1 cd corede~1 cd trle cd script script script.txt exit then go to your programme files and open the trle script file. Copy the Script, English (not the notepad ones) and strings files over to the trle folder. Then when you play your level this should work. Hope I have helped. Em xx IP: Logged
bob5 Member Posts: 315 From:SC Registered: May 2001 | posted 06-15-2001 03:02 PM These are the numbers I got p 48960, 3327, 30812 t 50243, 3257, 31143 r 4 Where would I put these numbers into the script. And when you said I needed to get into dos did you mean by MS-DOS Prompt? IP: Logged
Emma P Moderator Posts: 405 From:Suffolk, England Registered: Apr 2001 | posted 06-15-2001 03:14 PM Find the block of information for your level and then the second line from the bottom it should say Loadcamera= (if it doesn't then type it in) Then hit the tab button to line the cursor up with the rest of the text and type in your co-ordinates as follows 48960,3327,30812-50243,3257,31143-4. Then go into ms dos prompt and type in what I said (don't worry if at the end it says that some languages weren't found) then go back to desktop and double click on the following. My computer C Programme files Core Design Trle script you should see 3 new files in your script folder. English.dat (or whatever language yours is in) Script.dat and strings.h. You need to drag these files over to the trle folder and when it asks you if you want to overide say "yes". If you typed in the numbers correctly it should work, if not then you need to check that you typed them in the write place. Let me know how you get on.

bob5 Member Posts: 315 From:SC Registered: May 2001 | posted 06-15-2001 03:29 PM I understand what I need to do now but I have 2 load camera lines. ;LoadCamera= 57637,-1553,50522,58990,-1632,50471,0 LoadCamera= 76406,-3880,40584,75794,-3220,40328,23 What do I do for the load camera line that has ";" in front of it?

Emma P Moderator Posts: 405 From:Suffolk, England Registered: Apr 2001 | posted 06-15-2001 03:34 PM by the way, the way to access your script file to add in the loadcamera numbers is to follow all the above instuctions, and then when you have opened the folder titled script, then open the notepad document titled script (a text file) make sure that you remember to save it after you have made the changes.Each time you make a new change to the script file you need to do the Dos commands. And each time you build a new level you need to set up the load camera co-ordinates. Remember to put the co-ordinates in the last but 1 line in the block of level information. (this should be above the name of the wad) And make sure that you have put it in the right level, or it will still crash. It sounds complicated, but once you've got the hang of it, it's dead easy!

Emma P Moderator Posts: 405 From:Suffolk, England Registered: Apr 2001 | posted 06-15-2001 03:40 PM Leave in the top line for now, just write your numbers over the top of the second one. If that doesn't work then write them over both. What i think that one of them is for, is you know soemtimes in tomb raider when you get to a certain point in the level and reload you have a different load screen (a point further on in the level) if you like you can delete one of them as you don't really need both. But if I were you then I would make a note of these numbers just incase you need them in the future. Em xxx IP: Logged

Colin Grigson Member Posts: 776 From:LONDON, ENGLAND Registered: Jan 2001 | posted 06-15-2001 04:55 PM Try Easylife from our tools page, it does all the dos stuff for you. Just edit the script and save it to the script folder then run it and play the game. If you are seeing half black half horizon, you haven't set the load camera as EmmaP says, it just means the your level has reached a certain size so it doesn't crash, if you are using a wad that doesn't have horizon enabled you will just see an all black screen.
