The underground Empire
Introduction
This is the 5th Level of the "Tarragona: World Heritage Saga".
The episode starts at the end of level 3.
Synopsis
Lara Have discovered something hide near the Devil's Bridge. It's a kind of secret base. Before find the exit, she must
walk through the maintenance tunnels, warehouses, moles, unused corridors and a garden.
Warning!
There are two scripts in the ZIP:
- Script0106.dat This one is compatible with all the published TWH levels (1, 2, 4, 5 & 6). Copy it to c:\Program Files\Core Design\Trle
and rename it as Script.dat The script will crash if TRWH1 (Escipion.tr4) is not installed.
- Script.dat If you only have installed level 5, use this one. Copy it to c:\Program Files\Core Design\Trle
If you do not hear some sound probably that is due to the fact that you do not have installed the "patched wads" and its
sounds. You can find it at
http://www.eidosinteractive.com/downloads/search.html?gmid=103
or
ftp://ftp.eidos.com/pub/othermedia/tomb_raider_5/revised_wads0110.zip)
If you use your custom script its possible that you lose the name of the objects, the background music and the load
screen. If you decompile the script and you use the FlyCheat code, be aware that impossible/unexpected situations, like
reach some where before time, objects that do not work as supposed, ... I have work in some of them but ... Good look!
Some notes
I had receive a lot of congratulations with my first 3 levels (TWH 1, 2 & 4), but I have also received some complains.
The main complains were: "too few enemies" and "too challenging for non experienced players". TWH6 is the result:
There were several reasons for have few enemies in the previous levels:
- I do not like violence.
- The "Custom Wad" were not yet possible at this time and the available enemies were not applicable to the level.
- The level was so big or complex that was crashing with a more diversity of enemies.
I am still not a violence lover but, well, here you have some blood. I hope all people that congratulated me for the
opposite reason will excuse me.
I have also tried to make a non "too much challenging level". There are still challenging but I have tried to reserve it
for the secrets. I hope that "challenging lovers" will also excuse me.
One thing is clear, it is not possible to please everybody at the same time! I hope you will enjoy the level!
I have developed the level using the default colour settings of my graphic card (Desktop, Direct3D and Glide/OpenGL
settings R:1.30 G:1.30 B:1.30), and less some rooms that are intentioned dark, I am able to see fine rooms. If you see
too dark, may be you need to adjust the brightness, contrast or graphic card defaults.
Recognitions
I want to thanks to:
- Michael L. Jelarcic, by his TRWest v2.0 utility, that I have used to generate the custom Wad. It is a
wonderful tool.
- John F. Jones, by his Texture Edit v2.0.0, used to create my texture file, he made me the live easier.
- "Turbo Pascal" by his StrPix v3.0 Beta that I have used to create/modify my Custom objects. Thanks a lot!.
