SOTTR | Tomb Raider Eclipse Release! [Updated]

UPDATE

I have added part 12 to the mod which adds a new menu model and animation to the menu. You don't need to reinstall any of the mod parts or optional packs, simply just install this as normal and your menu screen will be updated. Please find a picture of it below:

______________________________________________________________

Tomb Raider Eclipse finally here! This is the complete mod that gives Lara not only a new look, but sound and attitude. Before I get into whats new as part of this update, I want to mention that this mod does come with some changes to Lara's background that is referenced in several parts of the game. Find out more below:

Background

Tomb Raider Eclipse is set in 1998 and follows two significant events. In 1996 when Lara was 21, she was traveling over the Himalayas with her fiancé and two friends to celebrate her completing University when their plane crashed due to an unnatural storm. This caused them to be stranded in a Valley that seemed to defy the laws of nature and unwilling to let anyone trapped leave until the curse that held them there was broken. Lara, using her intelligence and survival instincts, managed to solve the mystery of the Valley - but at the cost of losing everyone, leaving her the sole survivor. In 1997 Lara's new found love for adventure has lead her to join expeditions with her former University Professor Werner Von Croy, who was also a close friend of Lara's father before he passed away. This is where she met Jonah, the teams cook and gained an instant liking to him. The last expedition that they went on lead to uncovering a secret organisation by the name of Trinity who had been following Von Croy's work - but unfortunately this lead to him being killed. Lara, wanting to know why, uses Von Croy's journal to retrace his steps and figure out just want Trinity wants.

This is where Tomb Raider Eclipse starts.

The classic outfit appears to have the pistols locked into Lara's hand. I'm not sure if anyone else has ran into this.

Daniel Farmer

Is there a way to use the unified model with this latest release?

Daniel Farmer

thanks so much! it was a weird instance where even if I had the 'Cambodian Robes' it still wouldn't allow me to interact but got a work around it. maybe it was just on my end.

SunsetSarsaparilla

I apologise, but it's an exclusive mod for The Influencer subscribers.

SweetLife

Please.. share it with The Acessor members too.

Jeberson Aleixo

Thank you very much, I appreciate that :) As for other language changes; no, this is only for English version. I don't know any of the other available languages so I don't want to butcher the subtitles haha. As for the DirectX 11/12 issue - unfortuantely CD/EIDOS left this as an issue with the game, and since coding is not my forté I can't fix it I'm afraid.

SweetLife

Thx i found it :) Do you have a mod or an solution how i can use the outfits right from the beninning of the game? i used the outfit unlock mode from nexus but that mod confuses the outfits...

Tim

Has the dialogue in the Portuguese language version also been revised along with the subtitles? Is it the same as the English version? Another thing is that in DirectX 12 there are problems with light bending in the game, but in DirectX 11 it is fine, is there a way to fix this? In DirectX 12 the game runs more smoothly without losing FPS. Congratulations on the work, it is incredible!

Gabriel Coelho

Haha I posted the trailer to reddit and it didn't get a lot of attention. To be honest, when I've posted mod related stuff on that reddit, it's never really done well, but I might post the showcase video :)

SweetLife

Came back to this thread to say: dude can you post this to Reddit? I’m surprised nobody’s talking about it

Leon

Oh it’s ok it worked! Apparently there was 2 English choices for the audio so I changed it to the second one and it worked. Thank you for your time

Mohammad Abu Raed

Did that. Still no luck. Does it matter which game I’m using? I’m on Definitive Edition

Mohammad Abu Raed

The Angelina Jolie face mod is a patreon exclusive than can be found here https://www.patreon.com/posts/sottr-angelinas-99850769

SweetLife

If it's any of the DLC or vanilla outfits, then yes she will be bald. This is because purehair has been disabled.

SweetLife

So the 'Cambodian Temple Robes' replaces the blue heron outfit. Thank you for the call out, I'll get that updated in the text to reflect the new outfit name :)

SweetLife

Where can i find the Angelina Jolie Face Mod? thx

Tim

sorry to bother you again; she seems to be bald in some of her outfits LOL, any ideas for what could be going wrong?

Usamah Haling

got a question - the sidequest 'dice with the dead' is locked behind the Blue Heron Tunic restriction. Is any of the outfits accounting for that? I am not able to interact with the NPC

SunsetSarsaparilla

The only thing I can suggest is going to where the sottr.exe is located (for steam users steamapps\common\Shadow of the Tomb Raider) and deleting 'resourceusage.bin' and all files beginning with 'bigfile._mod'. This will uninstall all Shadow mods, then try reinstalling all the Eclipse mod parts in sequence. Let me know how you go.

SweetLife

Haha yes English audio

Mohammad Abu Raed

I just tested it again by uninstalling and reinstalling part 10. It's definitely working. Sorry to state the obvious, but you're using this with English audio?

SweetLife

Thank you! The tool creator is expanding the tools to Rise and 2013, so I very well may!

SweetLife

stunning work, i'm in disbelief! will you be making one for rise ever? i'm dying to replay it but with your mod installed lmao

Usamah Haling

Yeah I installed everything. The version I'm using is the latest one I think it's 1.3.11. Still the voice didn't work.

Mohammad Abu Raed

It's very easy :) As the mod description says, you just unzip the mod manager download so you can see the 'Sottrmodmanager.exe'. Once you have done that, there's a couple of ways you can install each part of the mod: Click one of the "+" toolbar buttons and select the .rar file to install. Drag-and-drop the .rar file onto the listbox. Drag-and-drop the .rar file onto the .exe. Once you have done that with each .rar part, done! Just launch the game as normal.

SweetLife

So part 10 contains all of the voice lines - just to confirm part 10 is installed? You also need to have the latest version of the mod manager installed as sound importing was added after the initial release of it.

SweetLife

Use the SOTTR modding tools that are found here Can you be that one awesome hero and provide exact instructions to install, so those of us who aren't familiar with the modding can play too?

ACEye2

Mohammad Abu Raed

Have you got the original outfits unlocked? These are outfit replacements so you have to have the original ones unlocked first. So you can either do that by playing the game, or just download a 100% save file (there may be one on Nexus) and using that as a new game+. I believe there's trainers out there that also unlock all outfits for you automatically.

SweetLife

installed everything but the hairstyles and some outfits ain't showing up in the list

savni z

Mission accomplished then! Glad you're enjoying it :)

SweetLife

I believe it would be in part 10, but you would need to install all parts for it to work.

SweetLife

This is awesome, may I ask, Which file has the dual pistol model?

Randal Velvet

Oh that sounds great! I would love you to do the whole TR trilogy. Your jumping and running animations are TOP NOTCH on this, they make it so much less airy and floaty and stupid like the original. And the story blend with new voice lines from people is just so natural and seamless I can't work out what's base-game and what's mod. (Apart from "SAVING YOUR ARSE" in the plane at the beginning hahahaha) Thank you for making this game actually enjoyable to play. I found it so serious and exhausting at launch. Now it has a breath of fresh air and feels genuinely so much more tomb raider like.

Zach

Thank you very much! I must admit, I was very critical of my performance which probably didn't make things any quicker, but I got to a place that I was happy with - bar maybe one or two scenes which I just couldn't get perfect haha. Always happy to hear what people have enjoyed as well!

SweetLife

That's very sweet of you to say! Thank you, it really has been such a fun - often frustrating, but very fun project to work on and to see people enjoying it really makes me happy. And great question! I absolutely have projects that I will be working on (some big, some small) that I will be sharing more details on soon. Some games to look out for are Silent Hill 2 remake and the Resident Evil remakes. The tool creator for the Shadow of the Tomb Raider also reached out to me and advised that he is going to be expanding the tools to Rise and 2013, which I would love to return too! Which games would you like to see worked on?

SweetLife

This is incredible! Well done, the voice-over is awesome!

Gamer Mosley

I’ve never downloaded something so fast! Absolutely amazing job, I’ve already taken soo many screenshots. I’m absolutely obsessed. Thank you for all your hard work. Just wondering, now that you’ve finished this insanely impressive mod. What are your future plans? I’ve loved following your progress on this one so can’t wait to see what’s next for you! :)

Ben Wallace

Oh thank you so much, that's incredibly kind of you. I love hearing comments like this, thank you for sharing your experience and I hope you enjoy the rest of the mod!

SweetLife

I completely gave up on the new reboot. For years. But then I saw your new mod and that alone made me try and install the game. Booted it up with your mods and I just.. I'm speechless! the mod is fantastic and the voice over is really, really good! So much work must have gone into this. I can't wait to play more of this. Thank you for bringing Lara back. This brings me back to the same joy I had as a teenager starting Angel of Darkness for the first time during Christmas! <3

1. It's up to you! For me, I use DX12 due to DX11 having a framerate drop when there's a big area and lots of NPC's on screen (mainly Paititi) but I know people have the opposite issue on DX12. Also, the lighting issues last for about 10-20 seconds total on DX12 through out the whole game, which is no bother to me haha. 2. No specific framerate, play at whatever works for you :)

SweetLife

Two questions: 1. I read your previous comment explaining lighting issues. Does this mean we should run the mod on DX11? 2. Is there a certain framerate the mod should be run at? or is any FPS fine (144/120/uncapped) etc etc.

Leon

1. As in, you select the outfits and they don't load or they are simply not in your campsite/inventory? If they aren't in your campsite/inventory, you need to unlock the outfits. Alternatively you can just download a 100% save game and then start a new game plus with that. 2. The modest lady, as the description says, is a patreon exclusive. You need to download it from the patreon exclusive post (found here https://www.patreon.com/posts/sottr-2001-film-108426744) 3. The issue of the hair disappearing behind fire/water is due to the shader issues which unfortunately cannot be fixed. The hair shaders in this game/engine are really bad :( 4. The lighting issue at the beginning is because you're playing on DX12 and not 11. This is an issue with the base game, so the fix would be to play on DX11. It will also happen in 2 other parts of the game if you continue on DX12.

SweetLife

Hi so sorry I am a little confused as there are some outfits missing, for example the Pacific Islands, all the AOD, the TRU Wetsuit are not visible. And also the Modest Lady outfit is not working, the icon is there but when I activate it it's an old outfit from base game. Also just to report a couple of minor bugs, first is that her hair disappears when there is water behind it. Second is in the opening underground tunnel Lara is stuck in, her flashlight had some severe flickering effects but I've not noticed these since. Perhaps the outfits/hair styles are to be unlocked later?

Zach

Enjoy!

SweetLife

ohhhh so exciting I am going to play right now!!!!
