A. IMPORTANT!!!
All the files that you
need are already included. You don't need to have TR level editor
installed for TRSearch - Emergency! to work.
These levels weren't tested with TR Level Manager, so use it at
your own risk.
Unzip the files into any folder you want, just be sure that all
the files are in the correct folders as in the zip.
After you unzipped everything successfully, go to the audio
folder and run start_me.exe to convert the audio into TRLE
format.
If you've done everything above, you're ready to start tomb4.exe.
(To edit
settings you can run: tomb4.exe -setup. You can do that by
creating a shortcut to tomb4.exe and in the properties change the
target from tomb4.exe to tomb4.exe" -setup)
These levels have a special hints feature in the menu. In the left down corner under the compass you can see the number of secrets in the level and objectives what should be done. Note that sometimes you must jump through the levels to finish different tasks, so don't expect that everything could be done right away. In some of the levels you may see in the menu also some helpful graphics like controls for the new moves or a map.
The Factory Production level has some hard timed runs and jumps.
To make them easier you can pull the harder/easier mode switch
right at the start of the level.
There's a PC/MAC puzzle where you have to choose a computer you use. MAC users must choose MAC to be able to play with unpached exe. PC players must choose PC to be able to play with patched exe.
The default script is for the patched exe. MAC users, please use the script from: readme/mac script. PC users that encounter big slowdowns because of the longer distance, please copy the script from: readme/pc normal distance script. The original default script have a backup in: readme/pc default script.
Some cd and dvd covers art can be found in: readme/cdcovers.
If you need a translation to another language you may try searching for google translate on the net. It's not perfect, but good enough.

1. THE STORY:
It was a late winter evening, when Lara's security system reported an error. The system couldn't repaire itself. Before it turned off, it located the core of the attack. It was a Trsearch HQ base where Tomb raider custom levels are made. Will this be the end of the Tr custom levels world? Lara must reach her secret train in the basement of her house and get to the Database before the hackers and destroy the virus. Will she make it?
2. General information
There are two new moves:
Roll out of the crawlspace (TR5) - Only with patched exe. Press
JUMP when at the edge of a crawlspace.
Bars move - The instruction on how to use the bars are found also
in the gym book in the first level. In the later levels you may
always refresh the controls for the bars in the menu.
A detailed
instruction for bar moves:
ACTION BUTTON (CTRL) to grab - keep pressing action button or
Lara will fall down
FORWARD ARROW (keep pressing to jump) - to swing around and jump
forward about 3 - 4 blocks in a straight line
BACK ARROW - to turn around on a bar for 180°
JUMP BUTTON (ALT) - to jump diagonally one block up to get to the
higher bars
in the gym room aim to the blue parts of the bars and remember
ALWAYS holding ACTION (CTRL) BUTTON or Lara will fall down
you must aim to the middle of the bar (the differently coloured
part of the bar, usually blue) for Lara to grab
the different combinations of these moves are present in other
levels
Number of all secrets: 32.
BUGS:
If Lara gets stuck in a crawlspace use binoculars and she'll
start to work again.
If you use binoculars in an area that has a camera that follows
Lara, Lara may stop to work. In that case go to the menu and
choose pistols or any other weapon. She'll start to work again,
but until she'll get out of the camera area she may stay in a
weird position.
Some of the levels have some missing sounds. After fixing them,
the level crashed, so some levels were left as they were. In the
others the sound issues were so minor I didn't bothered to fix
them as that takes quite some time. Don't blame the betatesters,
they all complained. :P
In the mirror room Lara disappears in the menu. Can't fix it.
3. Installation
Unzip everything into a
separate folder.
Go to audio folder and run start_me.exe.
Run tomb4.exe.
MAC users: Copy scripts from readme/mac script.
The files should be automatically unzipped to the correct folders, but generally everything tr4 and paq goes to data, everything wav and mp3 goes to audio and all what's left may stay in the main root. The patched exe stores it's savegames into save folder.
4. Troubleshooting
Q: Lara got stuck in the
crawlspace, what to do?
A: Use binoculars from the menu, when you hear a click, she'll
work again.
Q: I can't understand what
is said in the cutscene in the Mountain railway level.
A: "Welcome intruder. You'll be gone in less than 3
minutes." (you have exactly 2 minutes and 45 seconds, before
it's too late)
Q: Lara got stuck in a
camera follow Lara area, what to do?
A: Go to the menu and choose pistols or any other weapon.
Q: I'm stuck in the
geometry in a vehicle, can't get out.
A: Sorry, you'll need to reload.
Q: Lara doesn't want to
climb automatically.
A: That happens in all the levels that have bars move. You have
to jump and grab onto the ladder or ledge, then she'll climb up
as usual.
Q: Can't do the bars move,
Lara always miss the bars.
A: Be sure the distance is not too far, sometimes you have to
turn around and jump to a bar behind Lara. Also don't use flares
when on bars, Lara may refuse to grab with a flare in the hand.
