First time uploading anything here, hope I don't screw something up!
Only compatible with Marathon1.
I discovered the "MaraMag March '95 HUD" while trawling through the Marathon Tilogy Boxset disc and I really liked it. It was kind of like a dark mode for the original release.
So I decided to spend a little bit and whip up an edit of this hud found here: https://simplici7y.com/items/floatingxhud-m1a1-ultimate-version/
An Aleph One compatible version of the maramag hud can be found here: https://simplici7y.com/items/new-interface-maramag-march-95-11/
Neither of the above files are required for this release. However if its taboo to include the FloatingX files to make this work out of the box I apologize and will edit my upload and link the required files as appropriate. However currently I left in the two readme files for FloatinX and the M1 edit. So the original authors are credited.
Made some quit edits so the plugin appears as "MaraMag FloatingX" and not just "FloatingX"
There have been a few renditions of a FloatingX for M1A1, but non of them looked like they belonged in the actual game of Marathon.
This version matches the interface of the real game, and has the same floaty goodness of FloatingX.
The screenshots are actually from Legend, and the version i captured is slightly out of date, so there may be some very very minor differences.
Finally, The Health and Oxygen bars are misaligned by one pixel... Because of this small margin, I cannot correct it. And yes, I have tried.
Released
This is a basic fullscreen HUD for any scenario that uses the default Marathon 2 or Infinity HUD, and doesn't come with its own HUD. It attempts to make as few assumptions as possible, which allows it to work on a wide variety of scenarios, but is a little ugly. See the screenshots for details.
Software mode works but is even uglier due to the inability to circle clip the motion sensor.
Normal/Double/Largest preference is supported, but the plugin will try not to cover too much of the weapons. Double isn't enabled until 2k, and Largest is really only useful at 4k.
Based on the Default HUD script by Hopper.
To install, create a Plugins directory next to the Scripts directory in the scenario you want to add it to, and copy this zip file to the Plugins directory.
Changes:
Hello and welcome to my first post on Simplici7y!
This a fix for the Enhanced HUD plugin where you can actually see the Crosshair for the SMG. The step-by-step tutorial is in the README file of this mod. I'm actually surprised that no one else tried to fix the crosshair, since it took me a couple of minutes in Paint 3D.
Enjoy!
1.0 - Release of this mod.
This plugin contains the XBLA-style HUD distributed in the Marathon all-in-one download of Aleph One 1.0. It will not work with the native Marathon 1 downloads bundled with Aleph One 1.1 and later. A compatible version may be found in those downloads.
This version fixes the display of extremely long player names.
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
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.
