Tomb Raider Underworld Fly Mode

Tomb

  1. Jumping/crouching while in fly mode will also make Lara drop off the map. How to use it, simple. Launch the game, then the tool. Get on a map, activate the tool with F11 (note the same key - F11 - is used for both activating/deactivating the fly mode) and use 1 or 2 keys to go up/down.
  2. It is most likely somewhere in C: Program Files Eidos Tomb Raider - Underworld folder, unless you installed the game elsewhere. Switch to Logging Mode. Make sure that the options Show Texture on the upper left corner and Replace Texture (with a green texture) are selected. You will see why in a while.
  3. Tomb Raider Underworld game cheats Non-injury mode: Hold down the aim button and input jump, shoot, interact, shoot, grapple, sprint in sequence. PC: (default key position) Press and hold the right mouse button or G, and input Space, left mouse button or H, E, left mouse button or H, Q, Shift in sequence.

Feb 02, 2002 Click OK and you should see a green circle with Tomb Raider: Anniversary next to it in the DXWnd window. If you need to edit it again, right-click it and choose Modify. Leave DXWnd running. You will always need to launch it and leave it running in the background before launching the game. Now, run the Tomb Raider: Anniversary Setup program in.

How to use the patch

  1. Get the latest Tomb Raider update.The patch won't work with old versions.
  2. Put trflight.exe in the same directory as the Tomb Raider executable (tombX.exe, whereX is 2, 3, or 4), and run it. When prompted, press a key that you haven't assigned to anyother function in the game.
  3. Run tombXcheat.exe, which was created in the previous step. To enter the cheat mode,press the key you chose earlier. To return to normal, press the 'walk' key (Shift bydefault).

How it works

This patch adds code to the Tomb Raider executable which checks for the press of a certain key,and when it's detected, modifies some internal variables. Most of these have the effect ofputting the game in 'swim mode.' One of them causes the game not to notice that itshouldn't be in this mode. It also causes Lara to become invincible and never run out ofair.

To make room for the patch, I space-optimized some inefficient code in the keyboardhandler, which freed up a remarkable amount of space--much more than I needed for my patch.Right now the excess is filled with NOP instructions, but if you wanted to add a patch ofyour own, you could put it here.

Known bugs

Tomb Raider Underworld Wetsuit

TR2, TR3, and TR4

Raider
  • The patch may not work with non-English versions of the game.
  • If you are in a strange state when you enter the cheat mode (for example, in the middleof a jump, or being attacked by an animal) you will sometimes remain 'frozen' in that stateuntil you exit the cheat mode again. This can be amusing, and might be reclassified as afeature.
  • You can't pick up objects or manipulate levers while in the cheat mode. You also can'tuse weapons, except the harpoon gun in TR3.

TR3 and TR4 only

  • Entering the cheat mode restores you to full health.
  • If you save a game while in the cheat mode, restart Tomb Raider, reload the game, andpress Walk, you will die. To work around this, press the cheat-mode key before pressingWalk. This is probably related to the previous problem.

TR4 only

  • In Angkor Wat, if you fly into one of the trigger points that starts a von Croy cutscene,you may end up leaning at an odd angle. You can walk around this way indefinitely. PressingWalk will return you to normal. This is another bug-that's-really-a-feature.
  • Flight mode doesn't eliminate water currents. You won't be able to 'fly' against thecurrent, and if you fly above water with a current, you may get pulled under.
  • Flight mode does not work at all in some levels. (Maybe levels without any water?)Various strange things will happen if you press the cheat key in these levels.

Distribution conditions

I would prefer that you link to mypage at www.math.berkeley.edu rather than duplicating this patch elsewhere, since thismakes it much easier for me to provide updated versions should the need arise. If you dopropagate the patch, please do not misrepresent my work. This means that if you change thisfile or trflight.exe or if you bundle additional files, you should make it very clear thatthe changes or additions are yours and not mine.
