1 -how to install:

There is no patched exe, please use the original Tomb4.exe (you may prefer your usual patch for Windows XP or Vista, or Tomb4.exe for Mac). Please copy the files in the original TRLE folders provided with all audio and samples files

- Copy all the files from AUDIO to your \trle Audio folder (save yours before!).
- copy all the files from the DATA folder to the data folder (save yours before!).
- copy the SCRIPT files to the general \trle folder (save yours before!)
- copy the load.bmp image to the general \trle folder (save yours before!) 

You do not have to turn the volumetric FX option on
The game is fully Mac friendly ;-)

  - monitor setup: if you think the level is too dark, please consider that Lara is in a cave at night! So i made it as bright as possible. Things that help: playing in the dark and turning the light off. Checking your monitor settings, best being: 50% contrast and 100% brightness 

2- FAQ
* the caves are huge: i did not hide objects or rooms in the dark. Basically every door, every pick up item can be easily found so you don't have to explore the whole area: what you don't see is just not there.
* Both levels are connected at several points and you may jump from one to another several times. It is possible that you jump levels only after 5 mn gaming: this is a normal thing.
* If you dropped the wooden torch and can no longer find it, just go back where you picked it - you will find more of them. It is possible that the unused burning torch disappears after several savegames.
* In the big pool area you can change water levels 8 times, then it will remain the same. Basically you just need to do this 2 times.

3- Background
A volcanic island off the African coast...local stories tell about unexplored caves hiding the biggest and the purest gemstones ever. The famous Lara Croft packs her bag and climbs down. But to find out that competitors are already there and seem to suffer from invisible forces. How many gemstones will she find?

Building started in 2004, both levels were tested in 2004 and 2008 and finally released in october 2008.

4- Secrets: there are 2 secrets, one in each level. Since the caves are really huge and dark i did not hide objects where you cannot see them, so you don't have to explore each single square.

 - Artifacts: 3 items are to be found but you need at least 2 of them to complete the game. The items are: a Ruby Star, a Sapphire Star and an Emerald Eye
