Reb@Eidos unregistered | posted 12-04-2000 11:43 AM Please give me more details about what you are doing. Did you install to the default folder on your C drive? Which project did you open? When you opened a project from the Maps folder, did you then load in objects after that? If you did, this will cause a problem! Objects automatically load when you open an existing project and if you load in another object set over the existing one, you'll get some odd results. Are you running anything else in the background when you run the game? What resolution are you running it at and do you have any of the special features turned on in the setup menu? Try running at 800x600 with only 'hardware acceleration' and 'bilinear filtering' turned on. IP: Logged

Her head is a leg with gun, each part of her arms are - she's just a mess of thigh segments and guns! IP: Logged

JohnCroft Member Posts: 251 From:Germany Registered: Nov 2000 | posted 12-04-2000 09:17 PM Once again: if you load objects from e.g. catacomb.WAD you MUST MUST MUST MUST output the WAD in the Room Editor to catacomb.TOM !! You cannot load objects from e.g. city.wad and then save as tut1.tom and convert it to tut1.tr4 ! IP: Logged
Reb@Eidos unregistered | posted 12-05-2000 01:24 PM What you see in the editor is only a dummy for Lara. When you make your TR4 file she appears as she should in the game. The WAD files contain compressed information and this information can't vary from one system to the next. If you aren't seeing the right objects you are probably not following directions! IP: Logged
