TOMB RAIDER LEVEL EDITOR

HOW TO INSTALL AND PLAY A WAD FILE:


1. You must have the Tomb Raider Level Editor installed.

2. If you look in the folder called "graphics" in the level editor directory you should
find a folder called "wads". This is where you need to extract the wad file to for the 
playable level. Note that there will be a wad file there already with the same
name.  If you wish to preserve everything in the wads folder it is best to copy the entire 
folder somewhere safe as a back up. Once you`ve done that extract the wad file for my level
from the zip file into the wads folder overwriting the existing file.

3. Now you have my wad in the correct directory you need to compile this into a playable
data file. To do this close all windows and go to your Start menu and select "Level Converter"
from the Level Editor.

4. At the bottom you`ll see two buttons beneath "Edit Script". Click on "Add". You will now be shown
the wads directory with all the wad files. Select the wad to convert. For this level it is "tut1.TOM"
and click on "Open"

5. The wad in it`s diretory will now be shown in the left batch window. Now click on "Build All" 
bottom right and the wad file will be converted into a data file in the appropriate directory. 
Note that you can convert multiple wads in this way too. Wait for the conversion to finish. 
It is done when the text in the output window reads ***Build All Complete***

6. Close the converter. Open the Zip file again and extract the English.dat, Script.dat and Strings.H
files into the Level Editor root directory. (The trle folder) Note that this will overwrite the existing 
dat files so you may want to back them up along with you original wad files.

6. It is a good idea at this point to restart your computer in order for the new dat files to work properly.
 From the Start menu again select  "Set up Tomb Raider" to set up the game then select "Run Tomb Raider"

7. Choose "New Game" from the menu screen and then ...


Raid On!
