Licensing

CroftEngine is an open-source engine distributed under LGPLv3 license, which means that ANY part of the source code must be open-source as well.

Usage

Avoid installing in the same folder as the original game. Otherwise, weird stuff may happen. CroftEngine pull in the data it needs from your original game data location. After you can confirm CroftEngine works, it is safe to delete the original Tomb Raider installation, as CroftEngine doesn't need that anymore to run.

A user manual has been kindly provided by Raina Audron here.

Please note that as of Beta 15 a setup assistant is included that should start if anything is missing.

Get the most recent release from here. It is recommended to use the installer in Windows. For openSUSE users, the engine is available for most distribution versions in the "Games" repository.
You will possibly encounter bugs or strange oddities. Please don't think too much, report them immediately in the issue tracker here. I can't fix things I'm not aware of. If possible, attach screenshots (which are by default bound to F12) and instructions how to toggle that bug. If you can't reproduce the bug, at least try to be as specific as you can when describing the bug. Any information I can gather is in fact helpful to nail that bug down.
You need soundtrack files, grab them from here.
On Windows, navigate to %LOCALAPPDATA% and create a directory croftengine there; on Linux, navigate to ~/.local/share and create a directory croftengine there.

Ensure your the files in the newly created directory look something like this:

croftengine
└ data
  └ tr1
    ├ AUDIO
    │ ├ 002.ogg
    │ ├ 003.ogg
    │ └ ...
    ├ DATA
    │ ├ CUT1.PHD
    │ ├ CUT2.PHD
    │ └ ...
    └ FMV
      ├ CAFE.RPL
      ├ CANYON.RPL
      └ ...

You should now be able to run CroftEngine. If something bad happens as mentioned above, or something doesn't work as expected, use the "Bug Report" action, usually bound to F1. This will create a time-stamped folder in your user data dir, including a screenshot, a save of your game when you used that action, and a series of log files. Have these files ready when you want help, as they greatly improve chances of diagnosing the problem. Feel free to join Discord to ask for help in the #croftengine channel, or create an issue.
The default keybindings are WASD for movement Q and E for stepping left and right, Space for jump, Shift for walking, X for rolling, Ctrl for Action, 1 for drawing pistols, 2 for shotguns, 3 for uzis and 4 for magnums. You can consume small medi packs by pressing 5, and large ones by pressing 6. Quicksaves and loading them can be done using F5 and F6. You can take screenshots by pressing F12. The menu can be opened using Esc, and videos can be skipped using Esc.

Credits

The following people deserve some noteworthy credit.

Raina Audron for creating the first YouTube videos and writing the user manual.
Martin Hauke for being the package maintainer of the openSUSE packages.
Liinx86 for being the world's first streamer streaming CroftEngine on twitch; also gave the idea for the Ghost feature.
Liinx86 again for being the first person of playing from start to finish. A summary of the stream can be found here, courtesy of jaaystation.
Tomb_of_Ash for being the second streamer.
Dfactor Longplays for showing that the Corner Bug works.
All testers reporting bugs.
Every contributor.
All players.

The following people did extensive work on the OpenTomb engine, which was the starting point for CroftEngine. Although CroftEngine is a complete re-write with negligible remnants of OpenTomb's code base and pretty much different goals, you can see the commit history of OpenTomb in this repository. Because of that - and because I want to be grateful - I'd like to give credit to the OpenTomb contributors.

TeslaRus: main developer.
Cochrane: renderer rewrites and optimizing, Mac OS X support.
Gh0stBlade: renderer add-ons, shader port, gameflow implementation, state control fix-ups, camera and AI programming.
Lwmte: state and scripting fix-ups, controls, GUI and audio modules, trigger and entity system rewrites.
Nickotte: interface programming, ring inventory implementation, camera fix-ups.
pmatulka: Linux port and testing.
richardba: Github migration, Github repo maintenance, website design.
Saracen: room and static mesh lighting.
T4Larson: general stability patches and bugfixing.
vobject: nightly builds, maintaining general compiler compatibility.
vvs-: testing, feedback, bug report.

Building

Do a git submodule update --init --recursive.

CroftEngine uses vcpkg; refer to its documentation for basic usage, but the only thing you need is to call cmake with -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=C:/devel/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake (adjust path as necessary).

This is the list of the required libraries to be installed with vcpkg install (remember to set the target triplet as necessary, e.g. vcpkg install boost:x64-windows):

boost
glfw3
libpng
openal-soft
opengl
freetype
ffmpeg
utfcpp
gettext
libarchive

...or use this, and adjust the triplet:

vcpkg install --triplet x64-windows boost glfw3 libpng openal-soft opengl freetype ffmpeg utfcpp gettext libarchive

Additionally, an installation of Qt 5 is necessary; as manually downloading and installing this package is usually faster than letting it build through vcpkg, it is not included in the above list. If you don't want to register for a Qt online account, you have to build it yourself, though, by installing the qt5 and qt5-translations vcpkg packages.

Generating Glad OpenGL bindings

Warning! The Glad bindings have been manually patched to always try to load the GL_ARB_bindless_texture extension, regardless of whether GL_EXTENSIONS reports it or not. This is to allow debugging with RenderDoc.

See src/soglb/glad-patches.md for the applied patches.

Generator Settings

Use the following settings to generate the bindings:

OpenGL version 4.5, core profile
No loader generation
Do not omit KHR
Local files
Extensions:
- GL_ARB_bindless_texture
- GL_ARB_texture_filter_anisotropic
- GL_ATI_meminfo
- GL_EXT_texture_filter_anisotropic
- GL_NVX_gpu_memory_info
