skeevemarshal Junior Member Posts: 5 From: Registered: Jan 2002 | posted 01-05-2002 06:09 PM OK.. another little question. I am building a series of levels with all of the TRLE levels as bases. I finished the tut1 without a hitch, and have now started the settomb. There is a part of the game that I really need water, so I set it up just as I had in the many watered rooms for tut1.prj. However, when I played the level there was a definite problem with the water. (Water type 1) Lara would stand on the water, without falling in and could not move. If I pressed the swim button, she would enter the water, but would not swim. She would merely float around with an invisible current that the user could control with the keys, but she would not swim. Or get out of the water. Et cetera. I apologize if this is a very basic problem and I am just ignorant, but I have tried many different ideas with the water rooms and it does not affect it at all. (I did try all four water types as well.) Any help with this problem would be greatly appriciated. Thank you in advance, Skeeve IP: Logged

Ah well. IP: Logged

SW Member Posts: 41 From: Registered: Mar 2001 | posted 01-07-2002 12:33 PM This sounds like the problem I had when I downloaded, I think it was the Lake wad. If so some kind soul advised me to use TRWest to replace the Lara object with one from another wad (one that works!) This did the trick although as Tombs on the Brain said downloading the revised wad should sort this out too. Gosh - I might finally be getting knowledgable enough to help other people!! IP: Logged
