Yes

After the disappointing Angel of Darkness, Eidos pulled the developer and
creator of the TR series, Core Designs, off the Tomb Raider franchise and
gave it to another developer (Crystal Dynamics.) The last I read it was due
out this year for all the major consoles and the pc, possibly in the summer,
but I wouldn't be surprised if it slips to later in the year or just in time
for Christmas.

Really. After playing AOD, my daughter and I played TR4 again. What a
difference!

Speaking of TR4, has anyone here been playing any of the custom levels ?

I have been off & on for a year now and enjoying it a lot. IMHO, some,
especially the ones by Luis Martin are better than the commercial games and
they're all free.

Gday Walt ;o)

I can never get the custom levels to load properly, they always crash ;o(

I did manage to get one to work once, it was a nice level, but I can't
remember what I did to make it work!

For level editor & info try:
http://www.tombraiderchronicles.com/tr5/editor/index.html

For top 50 custom levels try: http://www.trle.net/ I highly recommend any
of Luis Martin's levels - some are better than many of the commercial TR
games. So far every one of the "top 50" group I've played have been very
good.

It's been a while, so I don't remember exactly how I first set the level
editor up but I used what's called "Level Manager" and once you have it up
and running, then all you have to do is download the various levels (usually
in "Zip" format) and then use level manager to extract, set up & play the
games. It's well worth the effort to get Level Manager set up. It will
even archive a level (or group of levels) after you're done and include all
your saved games.

I think this was the site for level manager but it didn't work today, so
either I've got it wrong or the site's down. http://www.trlevelmanager.org/

Just google for trle levels
and you will find links like

http://www.trle.net
http://levelbase.dyndns.org

Direct links to levels by Luis Martin ("Jedimaster") are here:

http://levelbase.dyndns.org/box_level.asp?Levelname=&Autor=Jedimaster&suchen=search&h=%25&v=%25

http://www.trle.net/AuthorListingLP.htm

When TR 4 and especially the TRLE demos run on your machine
you will have no problems with most of the free levels.
For installation of the levels,
I would recommend the Level Manager TRLM:
http://www.laraweb.de/manager.htm
(http://www.trlevelmanager.org/index_eng.htm seems to be down!?)

Simply click on "download". - It's freeware.
Although the description is in German, the installation advice is English.
I have no idea where the other language versions ended up...

Have fun!
Thomas

I'm currently playing Rescue by Pascal Ducey which I got from
www.tro-online.com - Its been real fun up to now.

Really hard, but fun.

Heh. You do NOT want to know how many save games I made on the first level
alone!

Well...maybe you do, but I ain't gonna tell you! ;-)

Yep. I know what you mean. I think there are English pages on their,
though, otherwise I'd have given up straightaway knowing about |<->| this
much French. Some of the downloads have English/US versions, thoguh. Sadly
'Rescue' *is* French only, but by then I'd manually installed a couple of
other user levels so it was just a case of following form and away we went!

Heh. And then I got really stuck with a draggy/poitiony globe object over a
spot in the floor type puzzle and the only walkthrough assistance I could
find for that was in German!!

Truly International ;-)

Hell, I wish I knew how exactly to get the custom levels running off the TRLE
program without having to erase or overwrite things.

AS downloaded from the site given in a previous post, the saved file
installs a trojan installer. I realize that websites can check their
files and they be clean; but when they are actually downloaded, a script
is run that 'wraps' the downloaded file, or even swaps it out entirely.
The problem is in the 'jacked' web page itself. Anyway, the level
manager I downloaded is definitely infected and not cleanable. Know of
another source?

Hello McGrandpa! Sorry for the late answer;
I haven't been reading the newsgroup for a couple of days.
Your message sounds worrying! - Could you please elaborate a bit
about which "site given in a previous post" you are referring to. -
Are you talking about
http://www.trlevelmanager.org
which at the moment is (still) offline, or about
http://www.laraweb.de/download/

The level manager I am using (trlm_1_4_deutsch.exe)
was downloaded from the latter site.
I didn't notice any scripts starting at download
(Javascript was not even activated, I did the downloading on a unix system),
and my virus scanner is unable to find anything in my Level Manager folder.

To me it looks like the English and Italien versions of the Level Manager
have disappeared from the internet,
but if anyone is going to download the German Level Manager
and experiencing language problems, I would be willing to help out.

Hope to hear from you!
All the best
Tom

the first link you gave 'cannot be found', it was from the FTP page at
laraweb.de
I'm there again, right now, and see the same file, trlm_1_4_deutsch.exe
that Trojan Hunter stopped execution on.
I tried it again. No Trojan Hunter problem. But I dont read German. I
think it said it installed, but it's not.

Ah, they must have changed the address back to
