Triggering of audio tracks

When the original Play Station version of Tomb Raider was ported over to the PC platform, it was such a shame that so much of Nathan McCree's haunting music was lost.  Even worse, that a later release by Sold Out Software should have the atmospheric background sounds omitted.  Still, it is the tradition of Glidos to restore Tomb Raider to full glory - originally just the graphics, but now the sound also.

Now, thanks to the work of Kevin Bracey, Glidos provides a simple way to restore the entire set of audio tracks. All you have to do is:

• Install Glidos v1.39 or later.
• Install Tomb Raider using the preconfigured archive of Tomb Raider for Glidos.
• Install the Audio Pack (or the french veresion) (or the german veresion). Glidos v1.52 or later has the English audio pack preinstalled, so no download is necessary for English-speaking users.
• Adjust Glidos's Audio/Movies settings, changing the "Background sounds" setting to "Use Audio Pack".

Doing so will reenstate TR1's audio fully.

Improved In-game video quality

The original Play Station version of Tomb Raider also had higher quality in-game movies than the later PC release, but worry not: Glidos v1.49 or later can restore the better quality movies, using a downloadable FMV pack. To use this pack, you should:

• Install Glidos v1.59 or later.
• Install the FMV Pack (or the german veresion)
• Adjust Glidos's Audio/Movies settings, checking the box labelled "Use FMV pack".

Glidos will then play the higher-quality Playstation movies in place of the PC versions. Don't expect cutting edge HD video. These are movies of the same resolution, just using a better comptession method.
