Description:
------------

Presumably everyone knows who Lara Croft is by now. The world's most notorious 
female combat archaeologist arrives in Unreal Tournament. The model is based 
fairly closely on the in-game Lara, rather than the version in either the movie 
or the FMVs from the Tomb Raider games.

The download also includes a Lara Croft voicepack which contains the following:

 7 Lara-specific orders
17 Lara-specific "others"
 8 Lara-specific acks
 4 Lara-specific friendly fires
26 Lara-specific taunts (and they're what count, right?)

No taunts are flagged as mature: this is because (a) if you think you're 
old enough to be gibbing people all over the arena then you're probably
old enough to hear a little strong language and (b) Lara Croft doesn't 
seem to swear. Presumably she's too much of a lady.

The voice samples are primarily from The Last Revelation and Tomb 
Raider Chronicles, with a few from TR1 and TR3.

Thanks are due to McGrandpa and Dungeonbunny, stalwart play-testers. This is a better model
for their comments and feedback.

-------------

Extract the UMOD from the zip file, double-click to install it. If you need to unpack the
UMOD file, you probably don't need any installation advice from me :-)
