Editing tools
besides the editor, you will need several of these programs
This section contains quite a lot of helper programs needed for creating your own levels at a slightly higher level. They can be used to edit objects, textures, scripts and many other things. There are also programs for creating and editing animations, or for creating your own objects.
FexMerger v1.2 Rev 0
DOWNLOAD (0,64MB)
This program is intended as an add-on for the DXTre3D editor and is used for creating and editing Base Levels. It is possible to combine objects into your Base Level very easily. It supports all common level formats. However, be careful when combining this program with WadMerger. Levels edited in either of these programs are mutually incompatible and the resulting level may become unstable. Therefore it is necessary to edit your level in only one program. More experienced users can combine both programs, but they must know exactly what they are doing.
WadMerger v1.97 Beta 2
DOWNLOAD (1,16MB)
This is a program similar to FexMerger, but it is intended as an add-on for the original TRLE editor. That means it primarily works with wad files. It is true that a TRx file can also be loaded as a source level, but only wad files can be saved. The same warning as with FexMerger applies when combining these two programs. Besides editing Base Levels, this program can do much more. It includes several editing tools, such as editors for animations, textures, meshes and so on. Visual Basic 6 Runtime is required for correct operation.
TrePhoenix
DOWNLOAD (0,67MB)
A relatively new utility that is placed alongside the DXTre3D editor. With it you can, for example, edit already compiled levels or even convert them back into projects. This makes it very easy to obtain complete geometry from a finished level. I definitely recommend exploring it.
Visual Basic 6 Runtime
DOWNLOAD (2,36MB)
These files must be installed for WadMerger to work correctly. Some other editing programs also use these files, so I definitely recommend installing them.
TRViewer v1.083
DOWNLOAD (0,47MB)
This program is similar to FexMerger and can be used to create your own Base Level. Its advantage is the ability to save a selected object into a file and later load it into another level. It can also edit object collision boxes and several other things. It loads only TRx files and again does not like files previously edited in WadMerger.
PixStr v2.2 Rev2
DOWNLOAD (1,08MB)
This program is most often used for retexturing objects and editing their collision boxes. It loads already compiled TRx levels, which makes it an ideal add-on for the DXTre3D editor.
StrPix v3.95 Rev 11 XP
DOWNLOAD (0,30MB)
As the name suggests, this is similar to PixStr. However, this one is intended as an add-on for the TRLE editor, so it loads wad files. The functions are similar to the previous program: changing object textures, editing collision boxes and so on.
Texture Manager v2.6
DOWNLOAD (0,36MB)
This program can be used when you need to copy a texture panel from a level or replace the current one. Working with it is very simple.
TGAStudio v2.8
DOWNLOAD (0,95MB)
This very simple program is excellent for creating your own texture panel. Working with it is easy and intuitive. It also contains several effects that can be used to improve and adjust your textures.
FexAnim
DOWNLOAD (0,61MB)
V tomto malém prográmku se dají upravovat animace předmětů. Aby tento program správně fungoval na českých Windows XP, je nutné si v Místním jazykovém nastavení změnit Desetinný oddělovač z "," na ".". Což provedete na záložce Vlastní nastavení.
LngEditor
DOWNLOAD (0,20MB)
With this small program, which is included with the DXTre3D editor, you can edit language mutation files. Simply put, you can translate the editor, for example into Czech.
MetasequoiaLE v2.3
DOWNLOAD (4,12MB)
In this program you can create your own objects not only for Tomb Raider. It is a fairly complex program, so it takes a while to get oriented in it. Nevertheless, it is ideal for creating objects for Tomb Raider.
