CUTSEQ file format (TR4-TR5) Original reverse-engineering work by sapper Overview The CUTSEQ.BIN file is a file containing information about all the engine-rendered cutscenes (as opposite to FMVs, which are pre-rendered videos). In TR4, this file is compressed and contained in a

FloorData

FloorData Overview The FloorData is the key part of the level structure, which defines almost everything related to “physical” world — geometry, interaction and response of a level. While room geometry (see above) may be considered as a “face” of the level, $S_{Offset} = \frac{X_{current} - X_{room}}{1024} \cdot n_{Zsectors} + \frac{Z_{current} - Z_{room}}{1024}$$X_{current}$$Z_{current}$$X_{room}$$Z_{room}$$n_{Zsectors}$$H_{\triangle2}$$H_{\triangle1}$$H_{\triangle1}$$H_{\triangle2}$$\Delta …

The Fundamentals File Types Tomb Raider is driven by various sets of files — level files, script files, FMVs, audio tracks and sound files. In TR4 and TR5, there is also specific file type which contains cutscene data — cutseq pack. The Script Files The script file structure differs from version to version.$F_{real} = P_{whole} + ( P_{frac} \div 65536 )$$F_{real} = P_{whole} + ( P_{frac} \div 255 )$$P_{whole}$$P_{frac}$$n$$n$$X-Z$$Y$$-Y$$Y$$+X$$+Z$$\text{NumFrames} = (\text{FrameEnd} - \text{FrameStart}) + 1$…

anonymous@undisclosed.example.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 02 Feb 2017 19:56:42 +0000

PAK file format (TR4-TR5) Overview TR4 and TR5 use a file format with the extension PAK for certain files (mostly pictures). This file format is actually a container for raw binary content, compressed using zlib. Layout struct pak_file { uint32_t UncompressedSize; // Uncompressed size of data (4 bytes) uint8_t CompressedData[]; // zlib-compressed data (read until EOF) }

PSX versions The PSX versions of the game use different formats than the PC ones. Although the level files and the script files tend to stay consistent between platforms (including Dreamcast and others), some files are only present on console.

Room Geometry

anonymous@undisclosed.example.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 13 Dec 2024 18:40:49 +0000

Room Geometry Overview A room in TR2 is simply a rectangular three-dimensional area. A room may be “indoors” or “outdoors,” may or may not be enclosed, may be accessible or inaccessible to Lara, may or may not contain doors or objects. All rooms have “portals,” called “doors” in some documentation, which are pathways to adjacent rooms. There are two kinds of portals — visibility portals and collisional portals. Visibility portals are for determining how much of a room (if any) is visible from…

Scripting in TR2/TR3 for PC/PSX Overview The internal gameflow, which levels come in what order, what item(s) Lara has at the beginning of each level, the filenames of the level and cut-scene files, all the visible text (e.g. “Save Game,” “Rusty Key,” etc.), and various other options are controlled by a script file called $\text{angle in degrees} \cdot 65536 / 360$$\text{blocks} \times 1024$

Music and Sound As it was described in the beginning, all sound in TR engines can be separated into two distinctive sections — audio tracks and sounds. Audio tracks are long separate files which are loaded by streaming, and usually they contain background ambience, music or voiceovers for cutscenes.
