Star Wars - EPISODE 1 (Director’s Cut)

Bonus Release

 

A Tomb Raider Custom Adventure

 

By EssGee

 

Installation Instructions.

 

Note: This is a Stand Alone Game. It is not compatible with the ‘Lara At The Movies’ project and cannot be substituted into that game. It is a tribute to the wonderful Star Wars adventures.

This release is in response to feedback from some players who had difficulty with the original ‘Lara at the Movies’ version of these levels. I have called this new release the Director’s Cut as it contains material not included in the original version (one new playable level and two cutscenes). The original levels have been significantly revamped with revised texturing, atmosphere and additional audio. The timed runs and podracing events should now be playable by players of all skill levels.

Place uklogo.pak, intro.tr4, swars.tr4, tatooine.tr4, podrace.tr4, battle.tr4 and endscene.tr4 files in Data Folder.

Convert mp3 files to Wav files with MadPlay by double clicking Start_me.exe. Then add these audio files in the Audio Folder containing the standard TR4 audio tracks, which are also used in the game.

Place Script.dat and English.dat files in TRLE folder.

Double click SetupTomb4.exe and TURN Volume FX OFF and turn Bump-mapping ON.

 

Story:

Lara, having been inducted as an honorary Jedi, finds herself on the planet Tatooine run by the Hutts. Not only is this desert planet home to some very seedy intergalactic travellers, but it is also infested with forces from the Dark Side.

The Sith Lord, accompanied by his apprentice, Darth Maul recognises this planet as a strategic stronghold and wishes to take control of it. This planet has always attracted its fair share of rebellious characters with its famous pod racing events, so Lara will not be out of place here. Although the ways of Jabba the Hutt are not exactly Lara’s ‘cup o’tea’, she detests the motives of the Dark Lords with a passion, and in her own inimitable fashion will fight to suppress the evil forces of the Dark Side in their takeover bid, in order to let the inhabitants of Tatooine retain their freedom.

 

Secrets:

Jundland Wastes - 1

Tatooine - 4

Podracer - 1

Battle cruiser – 5

TOTAL – 11

 

Playing Tips:

The Jundland Wastes is a vast open landscape. Pay attention to landmarks to keep your bearings. You don’t want to get lost. The landspeeder is there to help you get around more quickly. It is not required for any special tasks.

There is plenty of Light Saber Charges throughout the levels, but use it wisely, so you don’t run out before the end of the game.

The timed run in the High Security area in Tatooine is easier than in the old version. Save before stepping on the red start trigger tile. It may still take you a few attempts to complete. The same goes for the timed run in the generator area to access the room with the Republic Credits stored in it.

The podrace now has lots of indicators to lead you through the racecourses. You have more time to complete each race lap than in the original release. Save before the start gates before you commence each lap, so you don’t lose your hard earned check point cards. There are three race laps and one sprint to the final exit gate after gaining your prize.
