About this mod
Toolset for creating and installing TR2013 mods. Supports meshes, textures, physics, hair, and text.
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
Note that these tools do not support the Definitive Edition of the game. They only support the "regular" version (which can be recognized by the presence of bigfile.000.tiger in the installation folder).
These tools also work for Rise of the Tomb Raider and Shadow of the Tomb Raider!
Mod Manager
Packs mods into the game's .tiger archives, meaning modders can ship just their modified files rather than entire archives.
Installing the manager
Simply extract to any location (doesn't have to be the game folder).
Installing mods
Mods can be installed either from an extracted folder or straight from their .7z/.zip/.rar archive. This can be done in multiple ways:
Creating a backup of the game's .tiger files is not required. While the manager modifies the game's patch2.000.tiger, it creates a backup of this file automatically.
Uninstalling mods
To uninstall a mod, select it and click the "×" toolbar button (or press the Del key).
Manually deleting a mod's .tiger file won't uninstall it. You can, however, overwrite the modded patch2.000.tiger by the backup of the original (bigfile._orig.patch2.000.tiger).
Enabling/disabling mods
You can use the checkboxes to temporarily disable mods so the game will no longer load them. Later on, you can just as easily enable them again.
Reinstalling mods
If your mod setup broke for some reason and the game no longer starts, you can try clicking the arrow toolbar button to reinstall all your mods. This is a quick and fully automatic process that doesn't require the original downloaded files.
Uninstalling the manager
Simply delete the files again.
Extractor
Extracts files to serve as a base for modding. Like the manager, this tool can be run from anywhere.
Blender addon
Lets you import and export meshes, skeletons, and cloth physics.
Binary templates
Template files for inspecting and modifying some file types with 010 Editor. Can be used to tweak shader parameters in materials, for example.
Documentation/Sources
Documentation for modders is available on GitHub. It's also included as an HTML file in the download.
The source code of all the tools is similarly available on the GitHub page.
