=====================================================/ TOMB RAIDER - WITHOUT A PADDLE\============================================================

Firstly a big thank you for downloading and taking the time to read through this and play the game. I hope you enjoy the game as much as I have creating it. 

This level was originally created for the Create A Classic 2021 Competition. Unfortunately I didn't make the deadline but wanted to continue building the level because I loved the idea and wanted to see it through. The game has what I would class as one level, but four sections to progress through due to running into limits. 

IMPORTANT: 

	- Change the Tomb4-Shortcut target to match your playable folder to get it to work. 

	- By default bilinear filtering is forced OFF for an artistic choice which means the textures are slightly pixelated, however if you wish to turn this on there is a way. Check in the Bilinear Filter folder. 

	- For Windows XP players you may need to remove the "Plugin_DesertEagle.dll" file from the main folder to get the game to run. This may produce weapon
          glitches but that's just how it is on Windows XP.


	- Sometimes there can be a false positive alert from the antivirus software as it'll identify the tomb4.exe as a virus and remove it.
	  It happens very often with custom levels made with FLEP because this program hacks the tomb4.exe file.
	  Please add this folder to the ignore list of your antivirus program. 

	- If you come across a loading/saving bug where the game will reload everytime you save the game, try using the Keyboard to save the game via F5. Sometimes using a controller causes this issue.

	        RECOMMENDED SCREEN SETTINGS:

	Below is a recommended settings for both Windowed and Full Screen mode. 
	
	There is a widescreen plugin with this game, so I heavily recommend playing in fullscreen to get the best visual result. It will not work with windowed mode. 

	There are alternative load screen sizes for you to swap out depending on the resolution you choose. The default is 1920x1080.
	


	Windowed Mode:

		1280x960 32 Bit Resolution
		Volumetric FX Disabled (disabled through scripting anyway) 
		Bilnear Filtering Disabled
		32 Bit RGBA 8888

		Soft Full Screen Enabled.

	Full Screen:

		1440x900 32 Bit
		Volumetric FX Disabled (disabled through scripting anyway) 
		Bilnear Filtering Disabled
		32 Bit RGBA 8888

		Soft Full Screen Enabled.

=========================================================================================================================================================

		TR3 SAVE CRYSTAL MODE

 	If you are up for the challenge you can play this game in the Save Crystal Mode just like in TR3. Look in the folder for more details.

		STORY

	Lara Croft once again hasn't learnt from her mistakes. Greed and stubbornness leads Lara down a path of danger, destruction and chaos. Not all artifacts should be found, especially taken. Your mission is to right the wrongs, putting things back to how they were meant to be, even if that means letting go of the treasure Lara's been searching for. Along the way things may get a little... wet, but it's nothing you haven't handled before.
