» Tomb Raider I   » Tomb Raider II   » Tomb Raider III   » Tomb Raider IV		The official level editor is not the only program that can be used to create and modify levels. There are many other programs available that make life much easier for the serious level designer. You can find the most interesting programs below. TBuilder by ImmortalX "If you're tired of cutting and pasting tiles in your paint program in order to make a complete texture set then here is a little utility that'll make your life easier. TBuilder is the first texture editing utility for Tomb Raider Room Editor that automates that process. Just load an existing set and select the tiles you need.Load another one and so on. You can also paste the selected tile to clipboard and export it in your paint program for modifications. Import the modified version back to TBuilder and put it in your texture set!" Check the "More Info" page often for updates! Bartｴs Strfile Viewer Open WAD files or str files (TRC in directory "screens" - the special feature images) and export textures as BMP or STR. LevelInfo "This program will open any Tomb Raider level and output its content to a screen report. The level of detail that this report will list can be set in the menus. All texture tiles can be extracted (a long process) to a collection of bitmaps. The report itself can be saved to a CSV (comma separated value) file that makes it human readable. It can also be opened by any text utilities, by MS Excel and can be manipulated by the code routines used to deal with BINARY type files or SEQUENTIAL, variable lenght record files. I found it invaluable in making my TextureAssign program since I could read the exact values stored in the level file." TextureAssign "This program will open any Tomb Raider 2 or 3 level and list the content of all object textures, animated textures, sprite textures and sprite sequences (animation). It will permit the following edition: adding a new texture, editing or deleting an existing one; adding, editing or deleting any texture animation; adding, editing or deleting any sprite texture (please, prettyplease, read the HelpFile on this); and finally adding, editing or deleting any sprite sequence (please, PLEASE, READ the HelpFile, OK ?). Partial work can be saved to a special list file which structure follows exactly the internal structure of the TR objects being edited. This list file can be later inserted in the selected level to make a new, immediately playable, level file." TRtextur Allows you to im- and export textures as 256x256 TGA files to/from all TR1-TR3 levels. if you know any good programs that should be listed here send an email!
