tomb3 Configuration Tool

A GUI tool for modifying the settings for tomb3.

Prerequisites

• .NET Core 6.0

Usage

1. Download the latest release from https://github.com/lahm86/tomb3_ConfigTool/releases/latest. You can choose the 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) version to best match your setup.
2. Place the tomb3_ConfigTool.exe file in the same directory as your tomb3 installation.
3. Launch tomb3_ConfigTool.exe.
4. Change as many settings as desired. Press Save to write these values to disk so that tomb3 can read them.
5. Shortcut buttons are provided to launch the game:
   • Use the Launch Setup button to open the original setup window.
   • Use the Launch tomb3 button to start the normal game.
   • Use the Launch Gold button to start the gold edition of the game (The Lost Artefact).
6. Use the Restore Defaults button at any time to revert to the default settings.

Settings can also be exported and imported via the Tools menu options.

Texture Tool

The GUI contains an option to launch an external texture modifying tool, TRTextureReplace. Some settings work best with specific texture modifications in place.

Configuration

The tool itself has a JSON configuration file, which stores the following values.

• ExecutableName - the name of the tomb3 executable file to launch using the shortcut buttons described above.
• SetupArgs - argument(s) to pass to the tomb3 executable used by the Launch Setup button.
• GoldArgs - argument(s) to pass to the tomb3 executable used by the Launch Gold button.
• TextureExecutableName - the name of the texture tool executable file to launch using Tools > Textures in the GUI.
