Sea Without Waves DEMO ---- *****MUST READ*****


Hi, this is Jackie Wu AKA GeckoKid, the creator of Beneath the Forbidden
City. This level set is what I created more than a year ago and turned
out not great so I abandoned it. Also it was supposed to be the long-gone
"Big Project"'s level, but it didn't happen.

Today I digged it up, but unfortunately I have lost the project and the
script files. Then thanks to Justin (who makes the Dark Skies series),
he helped me to decompile the scripts, so I can fix the bugs in it (there
are still a lot in game, bear in mind - list below).

Remember this level set is buggy, especially at the end of the level, 
there are missing textures, and you will get stuck.

Anyway I hope you will enjoy this.

There are some textures I created myself, please ask me before using it, 
it may not be my work, but if it is, please give credits.

***********************Install Instructions************************
1. First backup anything you will replace.
2. Then unzip the files in "wads" folder to 
   trle\graphics\wads (assuming you are having "trle" as your folder name)
3. Unzip the script files (english.dat, script.dat, strings.h) to
   trle\
4. Unzip the uklogo.pak to trle\data
5. Run tom2pc and click "add" under "edit script" and select
   china2, china2b, china3 and china3b. then click "ok" and "build all".
6. Get a coffee and wait. :)
7. Start the game. Select New Game -> Sea Without Waves - START ME FIRST
   to play, otherwise you will be playing the levels without a proper
   storyline.

   ENJOY~

Supposingly the first two levels (bright outdoor ones)
has no problem to progress.

The third level, where you start in a dark indoor area,
is buggy. Some textures are incorrect and it really is
very dark! >< I am sorry! BTW there are no enemies so
you don't need your guns here.

BUGS (Taishan 1)
Objective: collect the horseman's gems.

** Don't place the horseman's gem into the room opposite
you in the big purple diamond room, or it will crash.

** The door textures are messy, but that doesn't alter
gameplay.

** If you start with the left room (with a spike corridor)
you need to DOZY out coz I haven't finished that part yet.
(and I haven't got the PRJ files so I am sorry again...)

** there are two places in the left room that you need to
DOZY, one in a pretty high room before the dragon room -
you need to shimmy across various pillars, there is one
corner that Lara just hate to turn.

* Note after going "into" the dragon, you will be doing a 
very tedious shimmying and slope jumping all along, if you
drop to the ground you need to start over again.

** the other place you need to DOZY is a crawlspace that
Lara just doesn't want to climb into, I know how to fix that
but again I don't have the PRJ file so please do a little DOZY.


If you start with the room on your right you will be going
into "Taishan 2".

BUGS (Taishan 2)
Objective: find the way to the gems; look for a pharao's knot
(for a secret which doesn't exist)

** there is a major lag in the room after the buddha statue.
Look for an underwater maze, just keep turning left when you
can.

** There is something more to do in the purple house (where
you can see a different looking floor piece nearby). Jump onto
the stand-able roof and look for a hole in the wall.

After that you will go back to Taishan 1. If you have already
gone to the opposite room (the left room according to where you
start the level), then the level is over. There is no finish
trigger since it wasn't really mean to be the end!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
If you want to complain the incompletetance of the level I am 
sorry but I really am unable to continue this one. Don't worry
I am making a new level set and it is turning good.

You can find me in the Eidos forums and Michael Prager's forum.
If you are stuck, go to http://trle.net 's forum and ask me or
any of the many expert players/reviewers for help.

Finally happy raiding!
