This Next Generation Level Editor and Game Engine is the door to a whole new Universe of level building.

Simply download the full installer and this will put all the latest files into their respective folders for you. Then download the most recent updater to keep up to date with any patches or simply click the Update button in your NG Center. Download the Full Installer here - TRNG Full Installer released 20 May Download the Updater here - TRNG 1.2.0.9  released 25 June You only have to run the TRNG Full Installer ONCE.

PrjMerge v 1.1 - Aktrekker

Fabulous little tool that is absolutely indispensable, especially in Team Projects.  With this tool you can merge 2 prj maps together.  In team projects this makes setting up level jumps an incredibly easy task as level builders can swap prj files with each other and simply merge them into their own maps.  Of course, always back up your files before attempting a merge, particularly if your level is already pushing limits.  Download - 39 Kb

TRFix - Aktrekker

Another indispensable tool from the amazing Aktrekker. If your PRJ file is giving you serious problems or won't even open, this may very well fix it for you. Worked for me and saved a broken level and hours of frustration. Works on XP too. There are a few issues with it, like phantom triggers being scattered around the level (which will disappear when you output the WAD) but as a last resort to save what would otherwise be a ruined level, this can be a real life saver. Instructions on how to use this tool included by Aktrekker in the download. Download - 31 Kb
