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!

A net map.

Even more snow than Snowfrog.

Uses Ephemera: if you are going to use a precipitation script, use this one.

A pretty wide variety of net maps (51 of 'em, actually). Flow and play range from good to very, very good. If you like the Rubicon textures/weapons, don't pass this up - there will be plenty of maps your group will enjoy.

A very good map pak from the Califormia Marathon Carnage Team. 10 net levels in all, with 4 by Stephen Richie that have never been released. These are some very fine maps. Worth the download, supports all net modes.

B'rak Station v4 by FrigidMan

Notes for version 4:

･ This map has really been messed with. Since I converted this map to a solo level in my solo adventure, I noticed I made some major modifications that made things more interesting and smoother. This map was plagued with slowdown due to the immense look and feel of it. So, I took the solo level and then converted it back to a net level. Doing this removed about 500 polygons, and monsters, but hey... you dont want all that in a net level right? SO, this map has realyl kinda changed since its old version

Pfhor Winds v4 by FrigidMan

Notes for version 4:

･ Fixed a few texture problems, and increased ammo. Also, even though you can turn off aliens in a net game, The game will always start with 15 bobs to slaughter.

A collection of all my most popular net maps, but tweaked and adjusted for optimum Infinity pleasure.

It does not have any pre-merged Physics in any of the maps, so you can use your own physics with this.

The Levels: • Damned if you do... • Desperate Measures • Pfhor Winds • Axiocranium • Brak Carnage • Carnage Heights • Hatala • Flying Leap • Cringe • Cringe Again • Pfhree Pfhor All

Notes for version v3.0:

Final version of these net maps.

Enjoy an arena netmap for Marathon 1! It is tested in live netgames with the new Steam build, and it works. The design is a little rough around the edges, but you get a lot more ammo, guns, and space to play in than the classic netmaps.

This map was created in Pfhorte and submitted to the Map of the Month back in the day. It was lost for a number of years, and I was super happy to find it on the Marathon Archives bungie.org site.

Don't stand still on the flamethrower platform! :)

Notes for version 1.0:

The original from May 2000.

It could use some tweaks with flow, and texturing, a bouncy wall or two, but it's still pretty fun. It would be cool to find a way to edit this and polish it up.

These are my first 3 maps that I have absolutely no business uploading here, but am doing so anyway. I started mapping 4 days ago so if they're terrible dont blame me. Thanks to everyone in the discord who helped me figure out how this stupid crap works. Weland and Vasara rock and are a lot of fun. I keep staying up way too late making these maps that everyone is going to complain about. Hopefully these are fun to play or mock or something Have a Nice day.

Why ThrokMaps? Idk, there's tons of ammo and weapons, power ups, and healing items to keep you in the fight. idk I think theyre kinda fun

1. Solemni7y - Small map primarily made for dueling. Very basic.
2. Enforcer Longs to See - A larger map with much more complexity but hopefully a simple flow. Features non-intrusive (hopefully?) water mechanics. No swimming required. I just like the way this map looks honestly. It has a cool dam that you can see out the window.
3. Charon 2049 - A Marathon interpretation of Halo 1's Chiron TL 34. You teleport around and you don't really know where you're going but there's lots and lots of shotguns and a hydraulic press to squish your friends.
4. Get Even - pure high speed deathmatch.
5. Grim Destiny - An abandoned space station; low gravity with dynamic flow.

Note: I really like the M2 XBLA textures cause they're colorful, and I textured all this with that pack. You can of course use whatever pack you want but if it looks weird somewhere or if youre like "wow that texture sucks here" thats why.

Well that's it. if these suck then just delete them I dont care

Notes for version 1.1:

Bugfixes and 2 new maps:

1. Get Even - pure high speed deathmatch.

2. Grim Destiny - An abandoned space station; low gravity with dynamic flow.

Archive of the original Marathon Rubicon release for classic MacOS Aleph One, titled Rubicon AO Light. This is the Rubicon scenario as it was before Rubicon X.

The files on this archive were taken from the Macintosh Garden here https://macintoshgarden.org/games/marathon-rubicon and passed through MacBinary II+ to make them compatible with modern Aleph One for Windows and Linux too.

Also included is a set of maps bundled with the AO Light release, including some netmaps, the Rubicon Xariim scenario and, as far as I can tell, one ported map from the unreleased scenarios that eventually became Rubicon.

Notes for version 2:

Added the weapons and items MML scripts from Rubicon X to fix wrong names in the HUD.

Hosted on Mega because the Simplici7y uploader is failing to upload.

These are the map files from the XBLA game Marathon: Durandal and its DLC. Four original net levels are tacked onto the end of the first map; and the other maps include potentially interesting ports of Classic Marathon levels.

The solo levels are included (and identical to the Mac version) but the terminals will not operate.

Well! Some of you thought you wanted this. So it's here. Don't say I didn't warn you.

This is 3 netmaps. One is over 20 years old & out-of-touch with reality. One is completely stale & warmed over. One is a fresh stinking pile just made. I plan on adding to and updating these, so this is just a test version & I'll be happy to hear any feedback (on Discord). Thanks for trying them out!

I made a 3D edit to Pfhactory N’Utopia, ready to be used with Forge Plus and Unity.

5D space has been merged to make a normal space.

There is the main map and the 5D space bridge split into 3 map files.

The map files were edited with Pfhorte and forge in a Mac OS 9 emulator.

The zero length line error is fixed.

Forge plus is a map editor made with Unity and can export maps into 3D FBX files.

Export to FBX then open the FBX files in blender and put everything together.

When you put the bridge together, delete the mesh that is around it.

Notes for version 2:

Ninth edit.

This is the 1996 CD "Pfhrenzy" found on the Macintosh Repository here.

There was some interest in this CD on the Marathon Discord server when I pointed out this CD. Not everyone wanted to bother with emulating Mac OS, but they still wanted to see the maps at least, which can be played with modern Aleph One. Thus, I emulated it myself, and transferred all the files off of the CD and zipped them up for people to look over on whatever OS they preferred.

For this reason, most of the files will look weird or not work at all on Windows or Linux, or perhaps even Mac. I have done nothing to the files themselves aside from put them through 7zip.

50 multiplayer maps.

Six new maps: Exordium, BMT Division, Metropolis Part II, Phoebe Station, Weight of the World, Impostor Syndrome

There's also bug fixes.

A medium-sized EMFH map inspired by the M1 level Bob-B-Q. The "trenches" in the middle of the map raise to the upper level every minute, changing who has the high ground. There's also a secret switch that reveals every two minutes that'll temporarily flood the lower level with lava.

This is the first map I've ever shared, so please give feedback; Assuming I don't lose interest in a week, I'll be happy to patch it.

Marathon Gambit

What is it?

Marathon Gambit is a recreation of Bungie's Destiny 2 gametype of the same name

How do I play?

The objective of Gambit is to kill things, collect the keys they drop, and turn in the keys to summon a final Boss. The first team to summon its boss and kill it wins the round. (a pdf is included that explains this more in depth)

What is included?

The download includes the following

• Netscript
• 3 Netmaps.
• MML and phyA files for merging with your own maps.
• A pdf manual that explains how to play and what is required for making your own maps.

Included Maps

Zoranel: This map was created for testing purposes and is not the prettiest, but i feel it was fun to play on so I'm including it. It is the largest map in this pack currently.

Wrath Eternal: This is a modification of the Bungie netmap "Wrath No More?" to support Gambit. It is the smallest map in the pack and can get very hectic!

Salinn: This is a modification of one of my own netmaps to support Gambit. In terms of size this map is somewhere between Wrath Eternal and Zoranel

Future Updates

The main feature I am looking into adding is an intro cinematic. Other than that all currently planned features are present, so updates will be limited to bug fixes or adding new netmaps

Feedback or Bugs

Feedback and Bugs can be reported on the pfhorums thread here
