Yes, TR1-3 models are fairly well supported... TR4 player models have a
few problems and some map issues...  TR5 maps and models aren't
implmented fully.  That's what happens when you RE all your specs.   =)

If you see any up to date info on the web, then please send it my way. 
I haven't kept up with other's efforts, since starting the robotics
project I just finished.

Hhhmm...  is sound working for you fine?  My new code may break sound,
so you may want to backup your current tree if I commit it.

The FPS counter is mostly guaging model aniamtion and room rendering atm
-- I need to update the vising, so it can run faster and more
consistantly.

Future use -- right now OR makes a list of Map and Music and just loads
the first Map and Music files it has for now.  This is alpha code.  =)

Future use -- script files hold gameplay data, some versions of TR have
them inside paks.

How much RAM do you have?  It's a dynamicly sized list, so it can hold
'a lot'.

They're WAVs from the game CD, some TR's have them embedded in paks. 
You can use any WAV file for the music.

Uses my same List index class as Map, so 'a lot'.  Maps and Music are
only loaded per level.  Once I get the menu working, I'll let the user
pick by a scroll or console or maybe even a level 'picture book' ala
quake3.

Yes, there is an option on SourceForge -- you have to be logged in to
turn it on... I can't seem to connect to the exact page.  I think it's
under releases section.  From the main page click 'Project' to get to
the SourceForge page.  It should be under 'releases' there.


cheers,
Terry
