The NGLE Manual

Installation

There are two parts to this – the NGLE itself and the NG Scripter. Download both folders from the tools page and unzip them. Inside the NGLE folder you will find 5 files: 

NG_TomPc – This is the level converter
NGLE - The Next Generation Level Editor
Objects – A notebook text file
Tomb4 – The Next Generation Game Engine exe
Tomb_NextGeneration.dll – A driver needed to make it all work

First install a fresh copy of the Level Editor and then copy all these files into the main TRLE folder on your C Drive.

Inside the NG Scripter folder you will find 3 files:

Double click setup and the installation of the NG Scripter will begin.

Once you have installed the NG Scripter you can start it by going to Start Panel – Programes – NG Center – NG Center. On your initial start up you will be prompted for the location of your TRLE main folder. Simply navigate to the TRLE main folder in the dropdown browse list and double click on it. That will tell the NG Scripter where the files it needs are located. Once that’s done, you’ve installed the Next Generation Level Editor and Game Engine.

Please note that the NG Scripter is required to produce working DAT files for the new game engine. If you convert your scripts manually, new features will not work in the new game engine.

When you have succesfully installed the trng and NG Scripter you must download the latest updates from the tools page and replace the files in the NG Scripter folder and your trle folder with these latest updates. Check the Tools page regularly to keep up to date with developments.
