Well, it's been six months since the release of my last level and I've been working tirelessly on this. This and schoolwork. In fact more tiredly on the schoolwork, but I've still been working. Anyway I said I'd be working on something completely different after the Legacy of Domino and I have indeed...

Lara intercepted a train reportedly carrying nothing more harmless than boxes of computer equipment for light industrial manufacturing. However she is suspicious of the amount of high security surveying over it. Lara knows better, this train is carrying chemicals used only for making weapons banned by international convention. She is convinced that onboard is the destructive HS18, a new plastic explosive known only by a codename, reports of which haven't even been published because of its immense destructive power. The chemical weapons on board must be destroyed, and it is down to Lara to do so, before the authorities pick up on her.
You like? It's about halfway through at the moment, I have a plan of the rest though, and it'll take some work, but once these GCSE exams are over then I'll have all the time I need at it. I can see why so few people manage to release train levels, it's quite a challenge. But then I'm always up for a challenge :D
I also need to ask you something, I downloaded this outfit you can see here, the one from the Russian section of TR5. The Lara_scream object was missing from the wad file though, and I've looked everywhere and can't find it again. The TRLE search engine had it but the links wouldn't work. So can someone tell me where it is, or even better let me know where I can find a good CAD program that will let me re-import the DFX into strpix with the textures still in place? Meta doesn't do that, I have to reassign them all, and I'd need to fix the ponytail problem, so if anyone had another free program that can do this I'd be grateful.
Anyway I hope you like it, it should be released sometime in the summer, if all goes well. And I've already got plans for another level, again something entirley different that I haven't tried before. But we'll see how this goes :)
