_______________________________PLEASE ENABLE VOLUMETRIC FX BEFORE PLAYING THIS LEVEL!!!_________________________________


This level was built as an entry for the One room challenge  a competition run by the Tomb Raider 
forums: http://www.tombraiderforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=16 The aim of the competition is to build an entire level 
within a single level editor room. This time around some extra rules were added: builders were also allowed one water 
room, one scenery room containing no actual gameplay, and separate trap rooms in which Lara dies instantly and cannot 
explore at all. (Hence my deadly flowerbeds! :p)

_____________________________________________________Story___________________________________________________________


Lara is in the Middle East searching for the Lunar Stone, a relic from the time of Ancient Babylon.

According to accident Babylonian myth;"Narnar", the "light producer", the moon god, scattered darkness and 
reduced the terrors of night. Like the lunar Osiris of Egypt, he was apparently an instructor of mankind; 
the moon measured time and controlled the seasons; seeds were sown at a certain phase of the moon, and crops 
were ripened by the harvest moon. It is also said that his spirit inhabited the lunar stone....

***************************************NEW MOVES and other things worth noting:******************************************


- 	Lara can jump up and back whist grabbing on ledges...just press jump whilst hanging from a ledge to jump up, 
	and the back key to jump backwards whilst holding onto a ledge.
- 	Lara can climb from a ladder to a monkey swing. Just press up when at the top of a ladder. If Lara won't do it, 
	climb back down one rung of the ladder and then try again from there.
- 	Lara can pole swing - jump and grab the pole, and then press jump to swing to another ledge. 

- 	You may be able to move certain pushable objects, even if they are on the square right next to a wall - try getting 
	between the wall and the object and pressing action to grapple!
- 	Don't forget - you can kill skeleton baddies by knocking them over the edge of a ledge or into water with a shotgun blast!



**************************************************Known Glitches:********************************************************

- 	IMPORTANT: You MUST claim the torch required to open the south door BEFORE using the Star of Night  you can no 
	longer stand on the platform afterwards! (The flipmap causes the trigger for the platform to disappear  stupid 
	trle bug!)


- 	Lara may need some 'persuasion' to go from the ladder to monkey swing. If she won't climb to the monkey bars, 
	try climbing back down one rung on the ladder and then press 'up', or you can also let go of action and re-grab 
	so her feet arent holding on, and then use the 'ledge jump up move' to get her in the right place to climb up to 
	the monkey swing, and she may do it more easily. 

- 	Proximity to spikes may kill you or do damage, even if Lara is not actually touching them. Take care!
- 	the textures of the top of some Raising platforms glitch through the floor - it looks a little annoying, 
	but I wasnt able to fix this even with transparent textures :(
- 	When you disable laser head, he doesn't completely die - his energy still remains...look out!

___________________Textures______________________

The Babylonian textures came from Google, 
and were edited by me (AgentXP).

* Thanks to Nadine (Horus) for the water, 
desert and garden (flowers) textures, which 
went so well with the Babylonian garden/desert
theme.

* Also thanks to Soul for his Tinnos textures,
especilly the ladder textures, which ingegrated 
with the rest of the set well.

* The coral came from the BtB 2014 set and some 
stone/grass from BtB 2013

Also credits to Crystal Dynamics - I incorporated 
some textures from the TRL and TRA manor and Greece
levels.
