TombEngine

TombEngine (TEN) is an open-source, custom level engine which aims to abolish limits and fix bugs of the classic Tomb Raider games, introduce new features while refining old ones, and provide user-friendly level creation process. Current support includes:

• Lua (as the native scripting language)
• Many objects from the original series (1-5)
• Support for high framerate, antialiasing, mipmapping and SSAO
• Full diagonal geometry support
• Uncapped map size
• A streamlined player control scheme.

Tomb Engine should be used in conjuction with Tomb Editor. Tomb Editor is also open source written in C#, you can find the repository here: https://github.com/MontyTRC89/Tomb-Editor

Compiling TombEngine

To compile TEN, ensure you have installed:

• Microsoft Visual Studio
• Tomb Editor (if you would like to create and test levels)

Steps: 1) Clone the repository to your GitHub Desktop 2) Open TombEngine.sln 4) Compile the solution 5) Once compiled, create a separate folder to serve as your main TEN directory (or create test TEN project using TombIDE) 6) Copy everything inside the Build folder to the main TEN directory 7) Ensure you have the necessary level data and texture files as well 8) In the case Windows warns about missing DLLs, (bass.dll, etc.) copy the missing DLL files found inside the Libs folder to your main TEN directory.

Visual Studio may also warn about NuGet packages. To fix: 1) Delete the Packages folder 2) Go back to Microsoft Visual Studio 3) Right-click on the TombEngine solution in the Solution Explorer tab and select "Restore NuGet Packages" 4) If it doesn't help, manually install directxtk_desktop_2019 and Microsoft.XAudio2.Redist packages via NuGet Package Manager

Once done, you should be able to build a level with TombEditor and run it in TEN.
