Tomb Editor is an unofficial level editor for Tomb Raider 4 custom levels. It is a modern replacement for the RoomEdit level editor from Core Design, also known as "TRLE", which was released to the public in 2000 with Tomb Raider Chronicles and was the original in-house tool used by the development team to produce levels for Tomb Raider 4. Unlike RoomEdit, which dates back to 1999 and Windows 98 era, TombEditor is compatible with modern systems from Windows 7 to Windows 10, supports both 32-bit and 64-bit CPUs, takes advantage of modern GPUs capabilities through the use of DirectX 10 and has a more standard user interface utilizing a spectrum of mouse controls. TombEditor allows for import of RoomEdit's PRJ project files and for use of WAD object files and TGA texture sets, but also introduces its own proprietary PRJ2 format for project files and WAD2 format for object files, which are aimed at lifting the limitations imposed by the original formats. All of the crucial, basic functionality for level editing was ported from RoomEdit, with some of it extended to new abilities, along with new, additional tools developed from scratch to aid the editing process.

Lua API changes:
- Vec3s can now be saved and loaded in LevelVars and GameVars.
- Util.ShortenTENCalls no longer needs to be called; it is now automatic for both level scripts and Gameflow.lua.
- Flow.InvID has been removed; any function taking a pickup (e.g. GiveItem) now takes an Objects.ObjID instead.
- Added Enable, Disable, GetActive, Get/SetSolid functions for static meshes.
- Added FadeOutComplete, StopAudioTrack and StopAudioTracks functions.
- Account for objects in HasLineOfSight tests.
- Timer.lua, EventSequence.lua and Util.lua have been moved to a subfolder, Engine.
- LevelFuncs can now contain tables as well as functions. These tables can contain functions and other tables, and so forth.
- Moveable functions SetOnHit, SetOnKilled, SetOnCollidedWithObject and SetOnCollidedWithRoom no longer take strings, and instead take function objects themselves.
- EventSequence and Timer no longer require you to call Timer.UpdateAll in OnControlPhase.
- TEN.Logic.AddCallback and TEN.Logic.RemoveCallback have been added.
- GiveItem, TakeItem, and SetItemCount have been reworked (e.g. SetItemCount with a value of -1 can give infinite ammo/consumables).
NOTE 1: You can update existing TIDE projects by dropping contents of TombEngine102_Update.zip into project's Engine folder. Please note that if you have used inventory script functions, Flow.InvID enumeration will not work and return errors. You must now use Objects.ObjID enumeration instead.
NOTE 2: For existing TEN projects, also please remove any colAddHorizon references from Gameflow.lua. This parameter is deprecated, use textures with real alpha transparency instead.
NOTE 3: In any of your scripts, as well as from Gameflow.lua, remove lines "require(Util)" and "Util.ShortenTENCalls()", because ShortenTENCalls() utility is now deprecated. These lines are usually placed in the beginning of the script.
