This is the default HUD for Marathon 2 & Marathon Infinity, extended to fill today's modern 16:9 screens when using "largest" HUD size mode. This plugin can be used with both Marathon 2 & Infinity.
A second inventory page is displayed to fill the new space. In Solo games, the extra page always shows Ammunition. In Netgames, the extra page always shows the Scoreboard.
Additionally, the 3D game view is no longer letterboxed.
Normal, Double, and Largest HUD sizes are all supported.
Lastly, this also fixes a couple small issues the original HUD had:
SMG/Fusion pistol item & ammo names are no longer cut off since now we have a bit more horizontal space
Yellow/Purple shield bars now don't have gray corners when overlapping the bar under it
Motion tracker graphic not as dithered as before, so it stands out less compared to the regular background
Note that due to custom graphics this is not compatible with custom scenarios that replace the HUD.
Based on the "M2 Default HUD" Lua by Hopper
This will not work with M1. I may later make a wide adaptation of the M1A1 HUD for those who want this kind of HUD in M1. Widescreen Marathon 1 Classic HUD here.
v1.1: Fixed shield/oxygen bars being drawn a tiny bit too low
v1.0: Initial release
Exactly like Hopper's Marathon Classic HUD, except the full version HUD graphics are replaced with those found in the Marathon Demo v0.0.
For players who want to go truly retro. Enjoy!
1.0 Initial Release
1.1 [Reverted] The main HUD image I pasted from Rezilla wasn't color-accurate. Corrected.
I should stop trying to fix things. It looked terrible in-game. Reverted. :\
This is a collection of small single-purpose Lua scripts.
Feel free to include them in your own works or use them any way your like.
Marathon's media 'flows' from high elevations to low dynamically. Please see the included 'Water Buckets.sceA' map as an example. [Punch the switches]
Minimal HUD design around the crosshair.
Press the Microphone key (default: ~) to 'taunt' with assimilated BOB chatter. This attracts the focus of nearby active enemies (and allies).
Projectiles fired into a teleporter will be transported to the other side.
Enemies within the center crosshair will take crushing damage.
1.0 Initial Release
This mod restores the original fonts used in the Macintosh version of Marathon.
NOTE: This only works with the DEFAULT HUD, custom HUDs have been reported to have issues with this plugin, so experiment at your own risk.
v1.0 - Initial Release
