Tomb Raider III (1998) - India 1 Jungle
11Playthrough restraints:
~ All items and Secrets
~ No healing and no green crystal heals
~ Pistols Only
~ NO DAMAGE!
~ Pacifist where possible
100% accuracy (only 3 kills)
As with my TR1 and TR2 playlists, I feel these restraints are more inline with Lara's character as a Lady of High Standing and Reputation.
Getting this game running properly is a right mess. I'll list what I did as best I can:
* First off the in-game menu - the only thing I did here was set the gamma to 2. I'll never touch this again as this seems pretty good.
* dgvoodoo2 wrapper. Go to MS folder, then x86, and take the contents and put it in the game folder main directory. This enables 2560x1440. Other mods seem to get stuck at 1920 and the game won't let it go higher.
* Getting 2560 is the tip of the iceberg. Now aspect ratio is messed up, so I've applied Arsunt's patch for a field of view and FMV fix. (File is called TR3_Arsunt_Patch_FOV_FMV_Sunglasses.zip) This fixes various things, and also removes scanlines from the FMVs.
* The FMVs play, but all I got was audio and no visuals. Simple fix here was to alt-tab out, then back in again as soon as the game started.
* One of two problems will happen depending on the Steam launcher settings you use. Hardware mode vs software mode. One of them will give you really glitchy or low framerates while you play the game, while the other will pull a vertical line out of the artwork for the menu screen. Obviously I've had to do two separate recordings here.
*dgvoodoo2. From the zip, pull out dgVoodooCpl.exe and run it. My main settings on Windows 11 are via this link:

For some reason the directx tab doesn't list the GPU but it doesn't matter.
*FINALLY, once dgvoodoo is setup, run the steam setup launcher to set hardware mode and resolution so that it matches dgvoodoo's settings and you get your textures loading properly in-game. If the textures are all different shades of white you've done something wrong.

Notes:
~The Steam version, played here, has the green health crystals, adding an extra aspect to avoid if you're going for no heals.
~Like the monks in TR2, the monkeys here remain friendly if you don't shoot them, making it easier to avoid kills. The essential key pickup is the only item the monkeys won't drop again in this level, meaning you have to be fast to pick it up after climbing the ladder otherwise you'd have to kill the monkey to get the key back.
