IndianaDallasJones Member Posts: 4228 From:I'm sitting on top the Statue of ME, in West Bay Harbour, LOOK!!!!!!! Registered: Sep 2000 | posted 06-26-2002 04:17 PM I hope to start making a 'game,' in future when have time, but for all editor builders & newbies alike, it would be good to KNOW what CAN & CAN'T be done, HAS, & HASN'T been done yet, or successfully? 1. How hard is it to put dinosaurs in? 1B. How hard to make them do 'anything' want them to do? 2. What's the difficulty in making your 'game' like TR 1 - 3 textures, environments, etc.? 3. How hard is it to put useable vehicles in, m'cycles, jeeps, 4-wheelers, etc.? 3B. Can you use kayaks, etc.? 3C. Could you make her SKI's from snowmobile or such? 3D. Could you make a HANG-GLIDE script off of a cable pulley ride? 4. Could you redesign around giant mosquitos & change them into miniature airplanes? 5. Can you create any BOSSES? Has the BIG DRAGON been used or is it useable? (TR 2 I think?) What about the Big Blob in TR 1? What about Sophia, Natla, etc. in all their brilliance? Is that possible? AI like in Core games? Would it be possible to create a GIANT WOLF? How hard is it to create new creatures upon regular game creatures, etc...can you? Could you make a GIANT RABBIT that could do the 'Hammer Pounding' thing w/its FEET? Are any of these type things possible? 6. How hard is it to REMODEL around such things creating NEW 'MONSTERS?' ... is it even currently possible? 7. How was all that LIGHTING & sunlight, etc. created in 'Return to Jasimya 2?', etc. 8. What TOOLS beside the editor are most needed & for what? These are main things can think of at the moment. ????????????????????????? IP: Logged

Registered: Sep 2000 | posted 06-27-2002 11:11 AM Here's some info on questions; Micheal Prager of that Top Listings Site said:1. How hard is it to put dinosaurs in? 1B. How hard to make them do 'anything' want them to do? >>> been done a few times by now, but AI for them still seems to be a bit of a problem. Raptors work pretty well but are easy to kill. If you want to see a T-Rex in action play Volcano by Tomo ... 3. How hard is it to put useable vehicles in, m'cycles, jeeps, 4-wheelers, etc.? >>> Well, I have seen the bike (even one without sidecar (made by Robbase and I think used in Jungle Base Demo by Colin), the Jeep (many times), a quadbike (sort of, don't remember where) and a snowmobile (in Santa's Quest by Lilian Bobola), so a lot can be done here... 3B./C./D. ... >>> don't think so, as the animation is a problem 4. Could you redesign around giant mosquitos & change them into miniature airplanes? There are a few people out there who could probably have a go at this - sounds like a fun idea to me 5. Can you create any BOSSES? Has the BIG DRAGON been used or is it useable? (TR 2 I think?) >>> Yes, dragon has been used a few times by now. What about the Big Blob in TR 1? >>> No, have not seen that one Can any of the TRLR BULLS be used, etc.? >>> Of course - tons of levels use the bulls What about Sophia, Natla, etc. in all their brilliance? Is that possible? AI like in Core games? >>> There are a few Sophia levels out there (Treeble's favourite - LOL), but it is basically a retextured Lara (ie Lara's AI). Have not played Baddy's Searching Sophia yet, I understand she's in that one at the end (?) Would it be possible to create a GIANT WOLF? >>> retextured dog? probably not giant enough How hard is it to create new creatures upon regular game creatures, etc...can you? Could you make a GIANT RABBIT that could do the 'Hammer Pounding' thing w/its FEET? >>> I would love to see that - Alice in Wonderland with a twist - LOL. Somebody should tell Baddy, Malte or Tomo who seem to be good at modifying enemies. ... 8. What TOOLS beside the editor are most needed & for what? >>> see TRLE FAQ at Eidos Forum... ___________________________________ I don't know about weapons, but I know I've seen posts about changes on those made, but don't know how radically.
