The Official Tomb Raider Level Editor

DownloadTutorials

This is the full version of the official Tomb Raider Level Editor. When installing, select Custom Install and uncheck the DirectX7 box.  If you try to install DirectX7 Windows XP will chuck out a serious error message at you. This is due to trying to install an older version of Direct X onto your machine.  Download - 175 Mb


Bremse - YGG Software

Download

Nice little tool that slows down your CPU and stops the Level Editor from spinning out of control.  Simple to use and you can even turn it off without having to exit the programme (Aus is Off - An is On).  I find a setting somewhere between 65 and 70, depending on the mood of my PC, does the job nicely.  Download - 92 Kb

PrjMerge v 1.1 - Aktrekker

Download

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

RVew is a program that allows you to open Tomb Raider levels and shows you each room fully textured. You can import/export the rooms in a DXF file format so you can edit them in a CAD program.  This version has been updated by Iceberg to run on XP.  Download - 440 Kb

Tomb Raider Level Manager v1.4 - Paolone

DownloadSetup TutorialPlay Tutorial

The Tomb Raider Level Manager will install and play all your Tomb Raider custom levels at the click of a button. But this is only scratching the surface of its capabilities. It does require careful setup when first installing and running, particularly if you are a level builder, so make sure you read the instructions and follow the tutorials. Once you have this programme setup properly, you will never be without it again.

This version is in English, but there are other language formats available (Italian, Dutch, German, Chinese, French and Spanish).

TRFix - Aktrekker

Download

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


WADmerger - Michiel

Can be downloaded from the author's web site: The Search Engine

Please note that WADmerger requires VB6 Runtimes installed and they are also available from the link above.
