Lara's Birthday 2003 - Revised with fmv!

[TheBoo]

Just finished the corrected and expanded version of Lara's Birthday level...... new secrets, a working zip line, a visit to the aquarium, a weird new baddie, a surprise soundtrack (hello Larson!), and the ending fmv! Also a new door added to defeat the invisible closed door bug beyond the 5-switch room.

Had as much fun with this one as the original, since there was no way of knowing what had been added, there was the anticipation of wondering, "What else is new?"

If you want to know who was at the party........well, play it! Download here. (http://www.trle.net/AuthorListingNewLevels.htm)

Uh..Boo? Am I missing it? Clicked on link..got newest levels...no birthday:(

[Kanji]

me too! if you could remind us of the creator we could search for the level...

[TheBoo]

It was near the bottom of the list...... I should have known it would get bumped off soon....anyway, click here (http://www.trle.net/AuthorListingLP.htm) for the author listings and look for Lilian Bobola's levels. It's a 20 meg download, so be ready to wait if you have dial-up. Ah, the joys (and speed) of cable internet!:D

[troublewolf]

:D Got it...will play tonight! Loved the title page!:D

[JunoJIm]

What're you doing playing another game, when you know there's Rescue waiting to be conquered ??? !!!

Actually, I'm playing TR III when I feel like a change...

[troublewolf]

I know, I know! Rescue.........maybe tonight...
Loved Lara's dress, by the way, but getting her to ride the cycle up on the truck was murder!!!!!
Fun level Boo!:D

[THE True Lara]

Liked the new bad guy,
and the song on the stereo was a giggle (who made that by the way?)
Noticed there had been some (much appriciated) improvements, like the rendering working properly now, Lara talking at an audible volume, and switches to open and close all the door. I was confused as to why we can't access the trophy room anymore though, and the ending FMV wasn't expected :confused:

[troublewolf]

I was a bad girl and presses "DOZY" and the funniest thing happend...when I went to menu, her dress was in pieces and whirled around where the guns were! It was a stitch...oops, sorry..laugh! Great (and fun)level:D

[Lara's Soul]

THE True Lara you can access the trophy room, but it's more difficult now because there is a secret in it. Push the switch behind the platform in the pool. Follow the passage though the door that opens. From the box climb over the small passage that leads to the water. Find and pull the underwater lever, which opens the door of the artifacts room.

Did anyone notice something peculiar about Winston?

When he walks around, you can see sparks on the ground, in front of and to his left. It's as if he was the undead Crusade knight dragging his sword around. Also, when you target Winston with your pistols, he will stop walking, just like the knight does. Winston doesn't kneel down and hold up his tea tray, though. The knight will kneel down and hold up his shield when Lara targets him.

Lara's Soul, do you know anything about this? Just curious.

And thank you for creating this level. It was fun!:D

Ahhhhhhh... that would be why ....I didn't bother going in the pool room this time round ;)

[THE True Lara]

Right, have just played it all through again, and made a special point of going to the pool room ;)

I have one final question however...
what, if anything are we supposed to do with the presents? Or are the just the secret subsitiutes?

P.S. The Boo, I also noticed the weirdness that is Winston ;)

Also liked the carpetting in the church (forgot to mention last time,) as well as having the kitchen door shut, and the sunglasses on the kitchen table were a nice touch :cool:
And I love that funky little number on the stereo :D

[JunoJIm]

OK - I couldn't resist - just played a few minutes - never seen Lara in a dress B4 !!! Good work Lilian !!!

This is interesting, took a break from Rescue...

[JunoJIm]

OK - now you've got me going on this - I'm stuck in the room with the five sliding blocks - spelled UCY - nothing happened...

Like the tune - very good !!!

Sooo, what do I do with those blocks ???

[TheBoo]

JJ, think about it...........what is on all the blocks? :D :D

[JunoJIm]

KEY !!!

I KNEW it had to end in a "Y" !!!

I'm off again...

Boy, with all this help, I'm getting lazy... KEY, how simple...

[troublewolf]

:D Don't feel bad, Jim..I moved the blocks around looking for letters on the side! DUH!!!!!!!:o

[KoolKat]

[troublewolf]

I call myself a tomb looker, not raider! LOL you can't image some of the things I've done...............

[JunoJIm]

KoolKat - I've got a few shots - will try to remember to post them tom nite...

I think I finished - was running the TR disco tune when I went into the last room, & got an error message - LOL - will replay after I reboot...

Awww twolf, you're doing quite well - I remember how mystified I was about downloading / converting ...

Thanks for the game suggestion, and the hint Boo !!! :D

[THE True Lara]

Can someone just pplleeaassseee clarify the present collecting matter.
I knw I finished the level ages ago, but it's bothering me still.
When I checked the inventory it said 'USE' underneath them, but what am I supposed to use them to do? ..hurl them at Winston so he'll stop walking into me?! :p
I assumed they were like secret substitues?

[JunoJIm]

I don't know what the presents were for - maybe to be opened at a later time... :D

Here are a couple screenshots - dropping from the Zip Line in her birthday suit - er, skirt,

and, of course, the first thing you'd want to do with a Motorcycle on the premises is to ride it into the shower stall...
