This Next Generation
Level Editor and Game Engine is the door to a whole new Universe of
level building. For installation instructions on both the new game engine
and the NG Scripter, please read the
NG Manual in our tutorials

use of the NG
Scripter to produce working DAT files.

The TRNG has come of age with the release of the TRNG Mk1. The TRNG
Mk1 is the final release version of a stable Next Generation Level
Editor - the NGLE. This is not a beta version, this is the final
product. The only changes that will be made to the TRNG Mk1 will be
updates to fix bugs.
Work will continue with new features in the TRNG Mk2,
which will be a purely beta product and used at a Level Builder's
own risk. Consider the TRNG Mk1 a finished, stable next generation
product. News on the TRNG Mk2 will be announced when released.

You must install the TRNG Mk1 version even
if you have previous versions installed. The update button on your
existing NG Scripter programme will also install the TRNG MK1. Remember, you still
have to make fresh DAT files using the NG Scripter after this
installation
to prevent crashes. The Mk2 is a beta version which is Windows 7
compatible.

Important! The Mk1 TRNG is what you get
when you install the Mk1 TRNG using the Full Installer. Updating the
MK1 TRNG will install Mk2 TRNG beta versions. If you do not wish to
work with beta versions, please work with the Mk1 TRNG
and don't install any updates.
If you do install updates and hit problems, it is available
to roll back to the MK1 at any time by opening the NG
Scripter and clicking the Change Version button on
the Settings tab and selecting a previous version of
the software.
The Mk2 full setup is compatible with Windows Xp, Vista and Windows
7. This full setup contains all the next generation tools. It is a
self-extractor with an Installer program which is able to scan your
trle installation to discover which files require updating. It is
advisable to perform at least one full setup before installing other
updates because you could have some necessary missing files in your
existing setup. The TRNG installer will correct any problems or
suggest how fix them. Remember, the MK2 is a beta
Level Editor and will therefore have bugs.
Another Important Note!
If you are a total noob to
the Level Editor, do NOT download the TRNG as you will not have a
clue what to do with it. Download the Official Tomb Raider Level
Editor below and build the tutorial level following the official
manual and master the basics before attempting to learn the TRNG.

Bremse - YGG
Software
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.

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.

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.
