Author | Topic: Who takes on the challenge to edit tr4.EXE ??
Alexis Rombaut Member Posts: 143 From:Belgium Registered: Jul 2001 | posted 07-21-2001 05:31 AM If I look at the marvelous tools such as TRwest, TR2WAD, Strpix3, Easylife (and many more) it becomes clear to me that you the makers and many others know how to handle and construct EXE-files. Maybe you could work together to make it possible for us to edit the tr4.EXE. Of course not the entire file should be customizable, but certain items must be easy to change: * The firepower, hitpoints, speed,.. of baddies * The standard inventory of Lara Even more challenging would to edit the hardcoded moves of Lara that are permantly linked to for example "key for keyhole_1" "vehicale_extra" for the bike and jeep. And so make her own special moves. From understanding this could follow one of the ultimate achievements: the ability to make FMW and cutscenes ourselves. Who takes on the challenge?? IP: Logged

Thats almost impossible, It would take far to long. .EXE files are not readable code, they are binary, and It would be nearly impossible to successfully edit (and save) a new .EXE file, without totally crashing the file. Besides that it is probably encrypted. Sorry. IP: Logged
