Tomb Raider Anniversary Forum

Right now, I'm doing this stuff with a TRA-Batch-TexMod-TRAFly.ahk
(It's just an AutoHotKey batch file that does more then just AHK stuff. 

SetTitleMatchMode, 2
; Run, notepad.exe  * Commented out *
; WinWait, Notepad
Run, TRA-Exe.ahk, C:\Program Files\Tomb Raider - Anniversary
Run, Texmod.exe, C:\Program Files\Tomb Raider - Anniversary\Texmod
Run, TRAFly.exe, C:\Program Files\Tomb Raider - Anniversary
Exit

(TRA-Exe.ahk has my faster shooting, jumping and a dozen other trick-keys.)
(Texmod.exe, of course, has lots of hot outfits to replace CD's zzzzz.) 
(And TRAFly.exe sort of SAVES THE DAY with over-done TRA traps.)

But, I don't think that TRALoader, as a stand-alone, is going to fit in this pile?     

Tiger,
I like Sunbeam's TRA Loader, except I haven't figured out how to use it in conjunction with TEXMOD. I'm also not crazy about the loader opening a website when I close it.

Hello, Fleet, glad to see you here!
(I don't play "new executes", while I'm on-line, so it just pops-up a blank page for me.)

I have competed the entire game with all the pick-up stuff, on my own, naturally.
(And now, I am using one of those Profile.TRAProfile saves, for time trials (for the ingame usage of the outfits?) and for like everything that I had in TRA, already, because I really like doing little TR Fun-runs (with small challenges) and not Nintendo-timed ones for an entire level.)

But I still can not get ANY of the game's "Replay Level" outfit options to work, even with every TRA outfit being present? (I've looked at all the FAQs on it and it doesn't seem to matter?) Because the Anniversary outfit always seems to be IT, with that Replay Level menu, you know?

*** But that TRA/Texmod Outfit Problem has been sort of "corrected", below. ***

   

@Tiger,
You do know about playing any out fit in any level, right?
Just in case, see below (this is from GVZ).
Ize said you can directly play with ANY costume in the game no matter if you unlocked it or not by using a commandline switch

here's how:

create the following folder structure on the drive you installed anniversary on: (Example shows if you installed on C: Drive)

C:\TRAE\game\pc\

inside create a textfile named: TRAE.arg

then write: -PLAYER lara_wetsuit

into that file or any of the following costume names:

lara_classic --- REALLY Classic Costume
lara_natla --- slightly burned natla
lara_sport --- training outfit
lara_aod --- army outfit
lara_legend --- legend outfit
lara_wetsuit --- neopren suit
lara_catsuit --- catsuit
lara_gold --- golden lara
lara_dgang --- Doppelganger

For godmode add -NOHEALTH at the end of the line.
regards, fleet

Thanks, Fleet! 

I really don't know what happened, today, but even Texmod/Replay Level is working?

So, did my running of TRALoader, just once, make this major difference?
(Heck, I had just done a few new AHK mods and nothing related to TRALoader.)
*** Also, I had just restarted my system, if that matters? ? ? **
And then, suddenly, that Replay Level menu started working, on EASY gamemode and with TexMod outfit changes, even? 

So, take a look and see what you think.
Profile.TRAProfile-tiger.zip 
http://rapidshare.com/files/43535161/Profile.TRAProfile-tiger.zip.html
(I included my autosave.TRASave, in her SwimSuit outfit, just in case Lara needs it?)

*** Found one more interesting but very small detail to "preview" Lara's outfit. ***
When you go and dress Lara in her Bedroom, TRA will set that outfit in the Replay Level menu. (See, I told you that it was like a "nothing" detail.)
But in terms of VR, wouldn't a "Lady always change, at home, before going out"? 

... Jim ...

@tiger,
I downloaded the zip file and extracted two files, autosave.trasave and profile.TRAprofile.
Call me studpid, but I don't know what to do with them. A readme.txt file would be appreciated.

I haven't been in the mansion yet (heck, I haven't even finished Peru, so I don't have anything 'officially' unlocked). I used the trae.arg file to bring up the wetsuit so I could do a mod of it.

Your dumb buddy,
fleet

Heck, Fleet, just start a new Profile like mine called "ALL" and exit the game.

(Put any savegames that you want into that new Profile's folder.)
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Eidos\Tomb Raider - Anniversary\ALL (Which is just My Documents and then click Eidos, etc.)

And then just drop my stuff into it and then restart the game.

Click Play Game and then Replay Level to dress her and to go where you want, in almost classic TR Style!

AND if that works for changing Outfits, then try a TexMod outfit or two, next.
(The mansion is unlocked with this stuff, so just preview in Lara's Bedroom.)

@Tiger,
Thanks; I'll try it out tomorrow.
Peace out
fleet

Edit: I tried it out and it worked! I was also able to use a TEXMOD skin I made.

@tiger,
I didn't do much with the replay other levels, but I was able to mess around with it, and texmod outfits worked with it. I selected the wetsuit in the mansion, and my fleetswimsuit1 skin, and Lara was as expected.

So, Fleet, I'm going to guess that my little trick works with running TRALoader, just once, to get Replay Level to control Texmod outfits?

(And TRALoader did all of the actual fixing to get Replay Level to work?)
And that is simply shown within my Profile.TRAProfile-tiger.zip example, below.

(So folks, if you need a fix for Replay Level, then this might help you?)

@Tiger
I'm not using the TRALoader.

how can i create outfits....4 example how is created the nude costume...?

RE: Creating outfits. First get the tools. You'll need TEXMOD to pull the texture files from the game and recompile them into a form the game can read. You'll also need winrar to compress the file (if you want to share).
You'll need a graphics editor program, such as paintshop pro. GIMP is a free donload graphic editor.
TEXMOD and a tutorial on using it to extract texture files is available at the following link.
http://www.tombraiderhub.com/tr7/modding/index.html
WINRAR is available at http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
GIMP is available at http://www.gimp.org/

You might also want to consider joining www.gamevixenzone.com It's a site for skinning games (nude skins are not discouraged). Registration is required, but it is free.
Peace out,
fleet
