'''OpenTomb''' is an [[Open Source]] project aiming to recreate the [[Classic]] Tomb Raider engine. It is cross platform, aiming for usability not only with [[Windows]] but also [[Linux]] and [[Apple iOS|Mac]]. At the moment (April 2017) it is in Alpha state, meaning that levels from the original [[Core Design]] [[Tomb Raider Series]] can be played but there are limitations in stability as well as game play.

The project only provides the engine, all game files have to be taken from the original installation media (or download folder for newer versions like [[Steam]] or [[GoG]]).

== Installation ==
The engine itself does not need any installation, it can simply be downloaded<ref>https://github.com/opentomb/OpenTomb/releases/ Project's Download Page</ref> and extracted from an archive. At the moment (2017) only 32-bit Windows binaries are provided on the project's GitHib page; binaries for other [[Operating System]]s have to be build manually. The Win32 binary needs Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Libraries<ref>https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=53840 Microsoft Download Page</ref> to be installed.

To play any of the classic games, the ''DATA'' folders have to be copied to the corresponding folder in the OpenTomb folder structure. Additional audio files can be downloaded from the [[TREP]] project.<ref>https://github.com/opentomb/OpenTomb/blob/master/README.md Project's ReadMe</ref>

== Configuration ==
To start a specific game this has to be set in the ''autoexec.lua'' file in the OpenTomb main folder via the ''setgamef()'' function. Single levels can be selected by the ''loadMap()'' function instead.

Example:
<code>setgamef(GAME_1, 1);</code> starts the original [[Tomb Raider]]'s first level, <code>loadMap(base_path .. "data/tr1/data/LEVEL5.PHD")</code> starts the level indicated, in this case the fifth of TR1.
