- A patch to correct issues with the level Nightmare in Vegas is available here.
- High quality sound effects and sound track are also available.
Tomb Raider Mouse Helper
Tomb Raider Mouse Helper is a utility which allows controlling Lara with the mouse. It also maps the WASD keys to enable a more modern, keyboard+mouse control scheme.
OpenTomb
OpenTomb is an open source remake of the Tomb Raider engine. It overhauls almost all aspects of the game engine, along with adding cross-platform support for modern operating systems and Lua scripting support.
Important links regarding the project:
Peixoto's patch
- Real widescreen with the right aspect ratio and field of view
