[GTA SA] Tomb Raider: Last Crusade

[Mauritium 69]

 

 

Tomb Raider: The Last Crusade is a Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas modification that let's you explore a vast world of adventures and hidden secrets! The general idea of the mod it's to capture the old Tomb Raider feel (Mostly Tomb Raider I, II, III, IV and V) adding platforming and parkour in hazardous places you can travel (Also adding an economic system of rewards for every dungeon passed, so you can get better vehicles inside the Croft Manor and travel further away).

-

I'm aiming to make it a total conversion, that means a complete set of skins for Lara, all the weapons from the games, new sounds, enemies, locations, animations, etc... I'm currently extracting everything with an old program for TR's modding. Although I am an experienced modder, I'm kind of new in total conversions, and I would really appreciate some help, specially in coding, since I know nothing about it. I only managed to edit some CLEOs, but I am really, really bad at making them

Also, I never could rig vehicles correctly, for wathever reason, so, if you are interested in joining the team, feel free to tell me! I would be really thankfull... Now some screenshots!:

Also, I would like to thank Guard3, Recommended, Automan, and LaDiDa for helping me fix some troubles I have posted in the forum, you guys rock

This is interesting ...

[LaDiDa 501]

This certainly looks (and sounds) interesting!

[Mauritium 69]

Thanks! I know it's a weird idea I'v been trying to do this mod for years but never found the time. Actually I still lack the time but I jumped into action, Hahaha.

[MrSmarter22 23]

I love the idea of the mod. Do you have any videos of it, since I wonder how Lara would move with CJs anims and how she looks ingame in action.

Give me one minute, I'm gonna record it

[gts. 1,417]

This is truly interesting. Seriously doesn't seems to be a San Andreas conversion, looks like the real PS1's Tomb Raider games. You are capturing the Tomb's atmosphere in a genuine way.

Ready! As you can see, I recorded in the test area the place is a mess, but you can get the idea. Do not take this as a final version doe.

because this is looks amazing .. and unbelievable .. <3

Edit :

My bad didn't see the Video :')

 

Cant wait to see another development

This is so interesting .. can't wait to test it with Graphic Enchacement (such ENB or SkyGFX xD)..

if the texture's not baked, may be someone can retexture and change it to HD versions ..

I don't think it would be too hard to make an HD version, every texture is separated in the TXD so you can edit them and give them definition, although the maps would be very polygonal. Also, textures are not that small at all, I had to make them bigger because, even with mipmapping disabled, they appeared all blurry, so I made them bigger in order to preserve the retro-graphic style. It would be amazing to find a shader programmer to add some imperfection in the calculation, like PSX mesh calculation system:

Love that effect

[goodidea82 274]

Very exciting project! I love TR1-3.

Which program do you use to extract the original data?

I use and old version of TRViewer that I couldn't find again on the Internet. It's the only one compatible with my PC (Win 7, 64 bits) Do you need it? I could upload it

[goodidea82 274]

Yes, upload it so I can make a backup copy of it. I do not work on anything now due to lack of time, but it would be great to have it just in case for the future.

Not going to upload every little update, but I think I forgot to show this last time, also video quality is not that poor this time:

Thanks for the video! I love the progress so far. And also since I am a huge fan of the Tomb Raider-series I am willing to help you with the mod in anyway possible.

[Davve95 195]

It's awesome. But sad that it was not a newer version of Tomb Raider.

But anyway it's cool!

[Braindawg 1,410]

Looks very interesting!

Great! What's your best modding skill? I might tell you if I need help

[thalilmythos 538]

I'd like to see how this develops, seems pretty good, i'd love to see some challenging jumps between platforms if this is level based, i allways wanted an excuse to jump around stuff in sa.

That's the main idea of the mod I also forgot to tell in the main post, that I am not translating Tomb Raider maps into SA, I'm making them myself in Maya, using only the old textures, so you can expect the locations to work at full capacity with GTA controlls.

 

I only have to find a programmer good enough to help me create the more complex movements (Lateral displacement while holding borders, climb on certain objects, etc) that would make the mod 10.000 times more interesting.

 

I thought about asking OCAME to help me out, his MGR mod is incredible, it trully inspired me to make all of this, he totally changed the game dynamic and made something new, I am sure it will be an easy job for him

[Blue 5,434]

Your skills are damn impressive!

[gts. 1,417]

Lara's animations looks pretty well made. Good job.

[Mauritium 69]

Thanks!

[TheDon316 30]

Great Mod can't wait to play it!

[Patrijck 1]

OMG dude, this is perfect!

I can't wait to play it!

[turbocharger 910]

Is.. is that... originality? Can't be.

 

Great work, so glad to see a mod that's not a STORIES PC EDITION BETA CONVERSION VCS TO LCS TO SA TO III etc.

[MrSmarter22 23]

It would be awesome to see some characters as Larson Conway from TR1 or other ones in the mod. I also would love to see the croft manor from Tomb Raider Chronicles title screen ingame.

Of course, most of the human villains are going to appear on some places like a boss fight, but I'm letting the boss places for more advanced states of the mod, since I don't know what kind of mechanics the mod is going to add (Side jumps, and other habilities) until I find a programmer

[Mauritium 69]

< Little update >

 

· New walking and landing animation

· CJ voice wiped out, now it's just Lara (Falling, Impacts, climbing, taking breath, being shot, on fire, etc)

· New landing sounds, footsteps, (Like TR3)

· Improved swiming speed (Not infinite lung capacity, just extended)

· The fish you see on the video, are also from TR ( Quality is in the details )

 

Don't mind the broken map, just testin'
