-------------- Search fot the Mystic Stones --------------

------------------- Made by Titak -----------------------



STORY
-----
In an old book Lara found in her elaborate library at the Croft Mansion, 
Lara reads about the mysterious Mystic Stones. 
During her research she learns that the Mystery cult has already found 
two of the artefacts.
The members of the cult have taken these two artefacts to a town 
somewhere in the Netherlands, where they have hidden them in two different locations.
While guarding the artefacts they have started to tear the town apart in search of the 
remaining three artefacts.

Lara's search starts out in "City at Night" where she will have to find the 
two artefacts hidden by the cultmembers. She also has to find the entrance to 
the second level "Into the Sewers" to retrieve the third artefact. Returning to 
"City at Night" she finds a gate, which had been locked before, opened by the cultmembers.
This gate gains access to "Wierd Science" where the cultmembers have already secured an area
in which the entrance to the catacombs where a weird machine can be found. 
Lara finally has to find the fourth and last Stone, 
return safely to the outside world and get out alive.

The levels are dark and gloomy. 
They are made up of large outdoor area's, nice warm indoor rooms, damp sewer systems, 
an abandoned church and weird science rooms underground.

Lara is wearing a jeans outfit with a white top and black boots.

INSTALLATION
------------
NOTE: Making copies of the original files is recommended!!!!!!

* Replace the english.dat, script.dat and the strings.h in the TRLE main directory
  with the files from this zipfile. 
* Move ALL the wad files located in the wads folders to the 'LevelEditor\graphics\wads' folder.
* Use the levelconverter (tom2pc.exe) to convert the citynight.tom, gateway.tom,
  and sewers.tom files. 
  IMPORTANT: The xxx.tom files are pretty large, the Levelconverter won't show any output.
             I found out that, because of this, it is best to convert one xxx.tom at the time. 
             Close and reboot the Levelconverter everytime you have build a tr4 file.             
* Replace the sir_bz1.wav and sir_flap.wav in the 'LevelEditor\sound\samples' folder 
  with the ones from this zipfile. 
  These are the sounds for the crow. If you don't install these files, the crow won't make 
  any sound at all.
* Replace the 109.wav file in the 'LevelEditor\audio' folder with the 109.wav in this zipfile.
  This is the sewer-like background sound that was used in the Tomb Raider 3 game.

Start Tomb Raider, select "new game" and enjoy!

TIPS
----
"City at Night"
- Get the motorcycle first. If you don't get the motorcycle first you'll

  Besides, you'll need the motorcycle to gain access to the sewers of the city.
