Author | Topic: Make your own cutscenes?
RLugo Junior Member Posts: 9 From: Registered: Dec 2001 | posted 01-04-2002 07:16 PM Hi, I'm new to the TR editing scene. I don't have Chronicles (yet), and I have a couple of questions about the editor: 1. If I make a new level, do you have to have Chronicles to play it? 2. Can you script your own in-game cutscenes? 3. (This is really nit-gritty) If you can script your own cutscenes, can you have text appear, like subtitles? 4. I notices that in ALL TR games, in-game cutscenes are sometimes "shaky." The camera seems to be on a very slippery boom. What's up with that? Sorry about all the questions' I'm a newbie . IP: Logged

You need the TR4 engine which comes with Chronicles on a separate CD. 2. No cutscenes for now. But it will be possible sometime, maybe in a near future. 3. You can place text at the begining of some of your custom levels. 4. Not sure. Hope it helped. Greetings. IP: Logged
