NEFX loves you.
NEFX has been prolifically producing great Marathon/Aleph One inventions since 2017 (around 2.5 years after being founded) and uploading them to Simplici7y, in an increasing number of different upload pages that NEFX then frequently updates. This has occasionally lead to crowding of Simplici7y's front page with several different NEFX uploads, sometimes over a relatively short period. Understandably, some have objected to this as unfairly outcrowding and burying the wonderful contributions of our fellow travelers. We hear them. Therefore, to better serve the community as well as our Total Carnage Comrades, NEFX is now consolidating all additions and updates to its Marathon and Aleph One-related inventions on Simplici7y here on this one upload page, with a datemarked update timeline you can view below. Henceforth, all Marathon/Aleph One scenarios, campaigns, maps, mods, etc, and any updates to them, will be posted here. Of course, the webpage link connects to NEFX's Internet Archive homepage, where you can find all inventions by titled category. This includes:
NEFX Marathon Mods (i.e. physics files and Lua scripts for netplay)
NEFX Marathon Infinity Netmaps
NEFX Marathon Solomaps for others' scenarios, including the soundtracked 50-level pack for Aleph One: Wheels!

Tempus Irae Redux is the classic Marathon Infinity scenario, remastered. This final release features enhanced HD graphics, with every single texture having been completely rebuilt from scratch. In addition, several new textures have been created (including animated textures), and the four original landscapes have now been expanded to thirteen. Each level has been meticulously refined and enhanced (and in some cases expanded), while introducing stunning effects like rain, lightning, fog, volcanic cinders, and snow. The game has also been upgraded with an all new soundtrack, and improved co-op play. If that wasn’t enough, new levels have been added as we’ve bridged Tempus Irae with the follow up project The Lost levels for a combined total of 49 solo levels, and 79 net maps.
This is the definitive and complete collection, every add-on united, at last.
We sincerely hope you’ll find this fresh take on Tempus Irae, led by the original scenario designers, to be worthy of a new playthrough as you discover its new secrets and challenges. It’s been over 25 years since the original release of the scenario, and this new version is absolutely breathtaking. From all of us at Nardo, have fun, and enjoy!

This is just the raw MML from M2 Pepperscapes by W'rkncacnter (not the uploader of this), without any of its actual landscapes. What it does is stretch landscapes across the entire screen, thus preventing any repetition/cut-off points. It looks a little goofy, but for high-FOV users, it may be preferable to the standard, small landscape size. It will work with Marathon 2, Infinity, and regular scenario landscapes (e.g. Phoenix's original landscapes). It will NOT affect modern HD landscapes, such as Phoenix's built-in HD landscapes plugin or Rubicon X's.
A patch for fiddler_on_a_roof's Marathon Phoenix XBLA HUD. Makes the HUD correctly reflect the amount of arrows you can fire with the crossbow, which were updated from 3 to 4. Simply copy the contents of the patch over the original in the plugin folder.

One of the cooler features M1A1 took advantage of was animated textures. This plugin brings them back full circle to classic M1.
I made a few touch-ups, ranging from recoloring for accuracy to M1's palette, to smoothing out flickering pixels, to fixing some inconsistencies from the original game.
NOTES:
• I included the originals to any textures I made changes to, in case you prefer them or just want to see what I changed.
• The Durandal image on the puzzle switches is not used because (to my knowledge) it didn't appear in-game.
CREDITS:
Based on Alex Jones BOB Voice-over by Vice
What's the UESC trying to hide? It's time to uncover the TRUTH. Alex Jones now voices all three Bob varieties in this TRILOGY EDITION of the acclaimed Alex Jones BOB Voice-over! See what's new:
VACBOB SOUNDS
Alex's voice now crackles over the comms live to rally humanity and strike fear into those who would stomp out freedom!
CLASSIC MARATHON
What's on all those papers scattered across the decks of the Marathon? Alex knows. Play with all-new classic M1 support and find out!
WHAT'S INCLUDED:
• One .sndA file for M2 or Infinity. Replaces sounds for both normal Bob and VacBob, as well as suffocation sounds.
• One .sndz file for M1. Replaces sounds for Bob, as well as suffocation sounds.
• One ReadMe containing this same text.
NOTES:
• Every human-related sound slot has at least two sounds, and most have the max of five.
• Now includes both 8-bit and 16-bit sound slots (M2/M∞ only).
• Try with Got Voice? (.lua) by willbill808 and you too may don the tinfoil hat (M2/M∞ only, at time of writing).

Initial Release
I had a spur-of-the-moment idea during the 30th anniversary, this was the result of it, after a very lazy few hours. I think it's really funny.
Shapes file that gives everyone fun Santa Claus hats. Everyone is jolly and fires a Holiday Cheer.
Most everyone's a little in the floor now, because i didn't want to slightly change 27 bubtillion frames for a tiny little joke thing (exception for the Mr. Mararthon's graphics, and the Flappy Boys [kind of] because they're important) Don't worry, it's not too noticeable.
Happy MegaMan X-mas.
Hardcore project mixed with m1 & m2
Version 1: Added Defense Drone, Hulk, Evil Defense Drone, and some new wall textures Version 1.1: Added New Automatic Shotgun. Version 1.2: Fixed Defense Drone Hit Sounds. Version 1.3: Fixed Hulk melee attack. Version 1.4: changed hulks health 3000 to 1000, increase bobs health slightly, changed weapon strength slightly, warning all weapons will disappear when they have no ammo, missile launcher has a 2nd trigger shoots two missiles at once. Version 1.5: Added more ammo for assault rifle, give bobs 2nd attack, fix items images. Version 1.6: Fixed player's alien staff bolt, found out you can use infinity shapes and the Physics Models in Marathon 2 since this is using the Aleph One app not the original marathon app, so I added a new weapon same as the shotgun but with explosives rounds, changed hulks projectile speed from 300 to 150, added more bobs in vacbobs spot with quick fire, changed Major S'pht'Kr Bolt damage slightly, changed Evil Defense Drone guided missile to no guided missile. Version 2: Minor fixes and changes.

Version 1.5: Fixed SPAM being killed, Fixed Possessed Juggernaut firing, Change shotgun fire rounds from 10 to 20, Changed your speed.
Just for fun
All weapons disappear when they have no ammo, missile launcher has 2nd attack shoots very fast 10 rounds no share ammo, shotgun shoots 20 rounds instead of 10, SMG & Assault Rifle share ammo, SMG ammo is alien ammo, alien weapon shoots cyborg grenades instead of enforcer weapon, flamethrower has a new attack and 2nd trigger shares ammo, walking speed is replaced by running speed & running speed you run little faster.
30 multiplayer maps for Marathon Infinity. Eighth edition features 5 new maps.
