Tomb Raider Engine Patcher

The 'Tomb Raider Engine Patcher is a program that modifies the Tomb4 engine for the PC version of the game. It was created by Pyuaumch, but has been largely inactive since Winter 2007.

Description
The 'Tomb Raider Engine Patcher is a program that modifies hard-coded elements within the tomb4 executeable file. It can modify many parameters, such as enemy health, draw-distance and inventory. It also allows the creation of new flipeffects, and more recently, with the addition of the DRACO module, users can add completely new functions to the game.

History


On 24 November, 2005, Pyuaumch released a program called TR 4.5 Patcher that would allow users to alter the draw-distance limit of the tomb4 executable. Since then, many different options were discovered, such as the ability to change the hit-points and bleeding of enemies, as well as the amount of ammunition each ammo pickup has, as well as many other options.

DRACO Module
The DRACO module allows for the addition of patches without having to recompile TREP and re-release it. Its potential apparently outstrips some of the options in the main TREP program. The DRACO module allows for the addition of options previously unavailable within the tomb4 engine, such as exploding enemies, additional shatter objects, and a second SCRIPT addon that allows users to modify a single level's properties without having to alter all levels' properties within the main program.
