Just tell me what you want me to write..... What areas would you like to write about? This is entirely in the hands of the members of this forum so you decide. If you like the idea of helping new people then you could answer frequently asked easy questions. Or, if you want to write about something which you have a particular interest in, then you could write about that. It's entirely up to you. Once we know how many people share a similar interest in any topic we can pool our ideas together and decide on the best way to present the FAQ answer for that particular topic. IP: Logged

Wee Bald Man Member Posts: 388 From:Left Luggage Locker #8, Heathrow Airport, London Registered: May 2001 | posted 08-30-2001 03:53 PM Hi Driber, I looked at all of your tutorials and it would be great if they could all be made available... If anyone else has got tutorials on their web site that they would like to have made available on the Eidos TRLE FAQ just email them to me and I'll put them up once there's enough. WBM IP: Logged
Driber_IF Moderator Posts: 1201 From:Den Haag, The Netherlands Registered: Apr 2001 | posted 08-31-2001 06:58 AM WBM, I just sended you an e-mail with a modified version of the turorials on my website. I've also added the right credits, because I didn't make all of them myself. The one by Will Gell is very handy for TRLE newbies if I may say so IP: Logged

Email me the files and we will get it posted up permanently as soon as we can. We may need to make a few changes to any HTML files in order to make the links correct for the Eidos TRLE FAQ pages.

moose562 Member Posts: 1094 From:London, England Registered: Dec 2000 | posted 09-28-2001 10:52 AM Is TRClothes still needed? Cos if it is, I don't mind chatting about costume design although it is dead easy and everyone seems to do it now!!! I am also quite good at suggesting characters that should return for custom levels, ie. Sophia Lee (check ) etc... IP: Logged
Wee Bald Man Member Posts: 388 From:Left Luggage Locker #8, Heathrow Airport, London Registered: May 2001 | posted 09-28-2001 11:08 AM Hi moose562, That would be very cool - we would like to have an extensive FAQ and Help section which can always be available at the top of the page (like the "Unofficial" TRLE Network & Chatbox link).

Wee Bald Man Member Posts: 388 From:Left Luggage Locker #8, Heathrow Airport, London Registered: May 2001 | posted 10-05-2001 04:22 PM To all those who contributed, I've handed over all your files to Driber who will continue to work on the 'Top of the page FAQs Links' project. Please continue to send him your tutorials and useful files so that we can create a good and permanent reference library of TRLE info. Many thanks, WBM IP: Logged

Hi Data, WBM is indeed a fictional character who has come to life. Since he left his duties as a Moderator he has retired and bought a little cottage of his own. This has left me, a simple and foolish humanoid hiding behind an electronic curtain, to fend for my poor family alone. I do view life in the third perspective as I do not like to see the world only from my own viewpoint. I am particularly fond of Lara's camera position - I find that first person perspective is rather like trying to interact with reality from within a cardboard box. I hope but do not imagine that I have made my predicaments any clearer. WBM ------------------------ Driber, I have a simple .prj and TGA file which demonstrates all the OCB codes for the teeth spikes, It would be particularly useful for beginners who are trying to understand the orientation of placing teeth spikes and their corresponding OCBs. Would you like me to send it to be added to the FAQ? WBM IP: Logged
