Custom Classic

[Piega]

Now that Catacomb Towers has entered the hall of fame I made this level bugfree. Plus I retextured a lot to lower the texture info with even graphic improvement. The conversion info has returned and now it should work on all computers. In the past some people had crashing problems. If you want to have this final version for your custom level collection or you just have not played it get it on my page;

I will update all my previous work and release the project with it. Black Palace is the next one on the list.

Merry Christmas

Hi René!

Thank you so much!

You know I still have the original Catacomb Towers prj you sent me a long time ago, which never crashed in none of my computers. I´ll check this new version to see the improvements!



I can´t wait for the Last Crusade prj files! As I´ve lost the ones you sent me with my dead computer!

Greetings!

Greetings.

Are you going to release the santuaries project files? I would love to see how they are put together.

WoW.... This was one of my all time favourites René, second only to Geckokid's Beneath the forbidden city Not that his was better as they're both as good as each other, but I did play his first.

Any chance you can send me the Script.txt and English.txt files for Sanctuary? Thanks.

You are the best in all areas of making levels. Just wanted you to know what I thought of your games.

[Tomb Raider Fan]

Catacomb Towers is a classic. I have downloaded your level about 5 times and completed it 5 times as well. i never get bored of it.

[Piega]

Wow, thank you for the compliment guys
This is an accidental visit cause I dont come here often anymore. Still love tomb raider though but my focus right now is AOD. I use XP and I am lazy cause the editor is not installed yet.

In time I want to release every project I have made. Till now only Catacomb Towers is ready. I have to start yet on Black Palace. Then the Crusade and Sanctuaries at last.

You can extract projects and objects to examine right now from the game files so I guess that is the reason for me to be lazy to release the projects properly

I am also very tired of the editor. Not that I dont like it but I need a really BIG break from it. Ideas are always in my head. I have another fantasy game in mind involving Lara's house. Or a level in Russia (that would be my first base level ).

On the other hand it takes so many time for me to create it in the quality I demand from myself so it can happen it will never see the daylight. There are also graphic issues when I compare it with the games of today. But you never know.....

So long fellow raiders

recently I have been starting several projects and they just don’t seem to work out the way I wanted them. So I downloaded the catacomb towers project file and after a few minutes of looking at the rooms and lighting I was inspired to create a new level and this time it is actually working out the way I want it too.

It would be so cool to see another level from you I loved every inch of the sanctuaries they were so cool I even burned them to a cd for safe keeping.

Can't wait for the sanctuaries project file to be released it will be so cool to see how they are constructed.

Thanks

René, I'm playing the Sanctuaries levels right now. All I can say is they truly deserve the 9.9 average the get at www.mprager.com. Tough at times but nothing to leave you absolutely frustrated which is very good. By the way, I found a bug in the game. At first, I was rushing a little bit through it and I went to that room where you have to light a torch and then jump from block to block to light a fire in the othere side of the room - that opens a trapdoor. So, I went right away down through the trapdoor and later I had to come back. The fact is, when, after doing this and doing that I came for the torch, there was no more torch, it was gone!

I hope we'll have new levels from you!

[Piega]

Yes you are correct, the torch is gone after loading a new level. However I was aware of this bug and it is not possible to lose the torch before you finish the jump puzzle. After that the torch can only be used to get a secret.

If you missed this secret then there is still another way to get it later in the game .

[Jorge22]

Piega, I give you 10 in 10 for this game. Core should be ashamed of having made Chronicles after seeing The Sanctuary, and be aware that I was one of those who enjoyed and didn't criticize Chronicles! Anyway, I tried to play it straight, didn't follow the walkthrough at mpragers and so... I've missed ONE silver rose! Therefore, I made it to the end (even out of medipacks and with those horrible hammergods all around) but couldn't get to a big part of the game. Will I retry it? I'm not sure I want to make that first jump in the cavern with pool that you have to get to the top of the rock and down and up and down again... Hmmm, maybe I'll try it again. Still, oh frustration!, I wish you could access the bonus level with only two silver roses...

Allow me to edit a little: I found I had a savegame from the end of the Sanctuary of Ice, so now I've got the 3rd silver rose. Now I only have to find the spirits to go through everything again...

Edited again: I finished it! The extra level was quite easy but, let's face it, better tha All Hallows and it was truly cool of you to think of adding it to the game!
