This is a full port of the 1993 mac game "Pathways Into Darkness" by Bungie to the Aleph One engine. Therefore, Pathways into Darkness is now available on Windows, Linux, and Mac.

Note: You must use version 1.5 of AlephOne or newer. Download here: https://github.com/Aleph-One-Marathon/alephone/releases/tag/release-20220115.

This is a little different from a typical marathon scenario, as it features:

• Levels that can be re-visited multiple times with their state preserved.
• Advanced inventory for carrying and using many items.
• Resting to heal.
• Use of crystals to use special powers, along with conventional weapons.
• RPG elements.
• An ending score based on how you do while playing the game.
• Talking to the dead.

Make sure to read the readme for important information about controls. There are some non-obvious things you need to be aware of when playing the game. If you get stuck, there is a link to some Youtube videos in the readme that can be used as a guide.

Notes for version 1.3:

• Requires AlephOne 1.5.
• Support for weapon hotkeys and resting using a hotkey.
• Various fixes related to newer alephone versions, the readme has more detail in the changelog section.

The main thing to know about this plugin is that if you're going to refer to it, you must use ALL CAPS.

Along with that, you should know that it adds extra gore to every monster that dies. Some monsters spill blood when you shoot them. Bullets/explosions leave marks on the ground and walls. All changes are purely visual. The amount of gore you see is configurable (see readme for details).

This is compatible with M2 and Infinity, and any other scenario that largely uses unmodified versions of those monsters.

(Requires Alephone v1.4)

Notes for version 1.2:

• Tooncinator made the shapes patch fully compatible with Infinity by adding missing SMG graphics, vacbobs, and color tables.
• Removed the crush sound as it wasn't working for everyone and didn't add much
• Now with new butts!

Single Player Network Game is a set of Lua, physics, and shapes to simulate a network game using bots. The lua script automatically populates maps with the bot monsters, and the shapes and physics make them look and act like players in a multiplayer game. Note that this only works on netmaps that don't have embedded physics (this is the vast majority of netmaps). There are many configurable settings you can tweak to get just the multiplayer experience you're looking for.

This project is based on RadBurn's Marathon Conflict mod, and wouldn't exist without the work he put in to create the shapes and the original set of physics. I've included the unmodified Conflict shapes in this download to simplify the setup process, but RadBurn did all of the work for that. I have tweaked the physics a bit from the original conflict physics, mostly to make the bots act more like real players in a network game.

If you're just wanting to be able to revive in a single player game without reloading the map/saved game, then there's also a script for that that doesn't have any of the bot stuff.

Adminn said he'd make this script, but it's been literally forever and he hasn't done it.

(Requires Alephone v1.4)

Notes for version 1.5:

Slight physics modifications. Addition of BRUTAL option for more gore.

These are compatibility files for Wheels! (a marathon engine game) to make it work in Aleph One. If you happen to own Wheels!, you can combine it with these files to play it with Aleph One. The original game supported input devices for people learning to use a wheel chair, and I don't know if those work in Aleph One. You will be limited by whatever inputs it supports, so this is mostly just for people curious to go through the game outside the context of its original purpose.

This is a Marathon Infinity landscape plugin intended for people that like the look of the original landscapes, but want more detail than the originals allow. Most HD landscapes available make fundamental changes, and I've tried hard to avoid doing that with these.

These were created with AI upscaling, and I did some small touch ups to certain landscapes to try to get rid of anything odd. They are probably still not perfect, but the hope is they look the way they're supposed to, and are still improvements over the originals.

Notes for version 1.1:

1.1: Corrected the size of the images and restored missing data on the top and bottom of the images.

Dumb scripts for making projectiles hitscan (meaning they travel instantaneously).

• hitscan.lua - Fast moving projectiles are hitscan instead of moving at 1 WU/sec.
• hitscan_all.lua - All projectiles, including flamethrower, fists, and monster projectiles have unlimited range and are hitscan.

Global warming is real, and it's dangerous. This script is the proof.

This is an educational lua script, teaching you about the dangers of global warming due to rising sea levels. The knowledge contained within this interactive training module can be gained in either single player or a netgame, as long as the player(s) are willing to learn.

Your first lesson: resources will become harder to come by, and life will become more challenging. On that note, you will be required to track down Alephone 1.4rc1 in order to complete the rest of the training. This is the first demonstration of how things won't always be so easy, and you'll have to work a little harder to get what you want.

HD monsters for Marathon 2 / Infinity. These were generated with Topaz Gigapixel AI upscaling using Art settings, with some automatic processing to correct colors and smooth the edges of the sprites. The art style upscales have less detail than the other gigapixel plugin, but this is typically a good thing, as the extra "detail" in the other plugin was controversial. If you like some monsters from the other plugin better, it should be easy to mix-and-match monster collections, by copying the numbered folders from one plugin to another. For reference, the other plugin can be found here: http://simplici7y.com/items/marathon-infinity-upscaled-monsters.

There were some manual edits done to the fighter shapes to keep their staves/glow maps consistent between frames. The inconsistencies were obvious with the higher definition monsters, so thanks to Aaron for cleaning up the originals.

HD monsters for alephone. These were generated with Topaz Gigapixel AI upscaling, with some automatic processing to correct colors and smooth the edges of the sprites. Also, a bit of manual editing was done to remove black outlines from a couple monsters that had thick black outlines. The Bob and marine faces end up looking very weird with gigapixel, so I've included the Bobs and marines from Treellama's ML Super Res Monsters plugin, so that this is a complete and usable plugin. The gigapixel monsters are scaled up 4x, while the Bobs and marines are 3x.

This plugin should be good enough to use as-is, but I'm sure there are opportunities to do more manual cleanup and tweaking to make them even better (particularly making fighter staves more consistent between frames). If the community is willing to help out, let me know in discord, and I can provide the png masters for editing: https://discord.gg/c7rEVgY.

Notes for version 1.0:

1.0:

• Adds glow maps
• Uses TL's ML Super Res Bobs and Marines, as gigapixel did not do a good job with them.
• Manually removed some black borders in cases where they were very thick.

The bigliest scenario available now has the bigliest textures imaginable to go with it! If you've ever wanted to experience Mararthon: Yuge with mindblowing 128x128 HD textures, this is your lucky day.

Just when you thought Yuge couldn't look any better, it's now possible to turn on bloom and see limitless glowing peppers, douches, failstaches and more. The choice is yours!

This unbelievable package contains 2 different plugins with varying amounts of bloom, and many different texture masks to put you in control of your Yuge experience. Thanks to Aaron for providing even more masks than before!

These plugins even work with Marathon Infinity, if you ever feel like replaying it with superior textures.

Notes for version 1.1:

Aaron has made bump maps for the existing masks, and added a bunch of new masks.

On the 2 year anniversary of YugePax, a version specifically designed for Mararthon: Yuge is now available. You can finally bombard your friends and enemies alike with shitsticks.

949 downloads, 1 review, 0 screenshots, 5.0 rating

Mararthon: Yuge is a 30 level scenario, plus 225 secret levels for many extra hours of gameplay.

Yuge is a community project that was created in 2017 with procedural level generation using rooms that were mapped by hand. Mappers contributed rooms of various design and size, which were then fed into the level generator, which created the overall level layouts, texturing, monster placements, items, and sounds. Therefore, you will see some of the same rooms multiple times while playing through the scenario, but each will likely have a different set of monsters in slightly different locations, different textures, and you will likely have different weapons.

The level generator was created by W'rkncacnter, and 353 unique mapped out areas were contributed by several mappers: Windbreaker, RyokoTK, Sankara, W'rkncacnter, President People, $lave, General Tacticus, Glamdring, and Adminn_1.

Yuge has 2 new weapons, 2 new boss monsters, new wall textures, new scenery objects, maps with precipitation, and a new liquid type. Along with the procedurally generated levels, the final level of the main scenario, "enter the DOUCHE", is a custom map created by Windbreaker.

Like HD textures? Check out the Yuge Definition Textures plugins: http://simplici7y.com/items/yuge-definition-textures.

Keep and eye out for a URL within the secret levels where you can download even more bonus maps.

Notes for version 1.2:

Version 1.2 (December 2018): fixed terminals to work with newer versions of Aleph One, added fog to several levels in the original campaign, made minor adjustments to several levels in the original campaign.

Version 1.1 (August 2017): made levels work properly with co-op, added amazing icons, fixed an issue with the stats plugin.

Version 1.0 (July 2017): initial release.

This is a set of 2304 Mararthon: Yuge style single player maps. There is pretty much no plot on any of these maps, it purely exists for killing monsters.

If you are unfamiliar with Mararthon: Yuge, it can be downloaded at http://simplici7y.com/items/mararthon-yuge.

The maps can all be played with the Mararthon: Yuge scenario (recommended) or Marathon Infinity.

• Yuge Bigly 2: Electric Doogaloo - Explore the Doog District of INFINITYS with 50% chance of doogstorms and 50% chance of SPOOKYdoogs.
• One Weapon Edition - There is only one type of weapon that spawns on these maps. Shitsticks required.
• All Weapons Edition - All weapon types can spawn on each map, instead of only 3.
• Hardcore Edition - Less health than normal Yuge maps. For people that want a challenge.
• JIHADIC-1 - All maps have either rain or JUICEstorms.
• Roguelike Edition - Pattern buffers are removed and each exit teleports you 1-10 levels forward.
• Spinal Tap Edition - More health, ammo, and monsters.
• Wuss Edition - More health and ammo. For super casual gameplay.

An alephone plugin that can be used to help you determine if your map has enough differential shading. It will turn all of the floors, ceilings, and walls solid green. If you do not have enough differential shading, it will be difficult or impossible to look around and see the architecture of your map.

If after turning this plugin on, you can navigate your level easily and see all of the architecture, your map has adequate differential shading.

You will likely need to disable other texture plugins and any others that run lua like visual mode when using this plugin.

Two netscripts meant to be used with the King of the Hill gametype. They will cause the hill to move around periodically. The compass points to the hill, and the lighting on the floor of the hill will flash.

Jumping Hills will work with any map enabled for KOTH, while Base Jumping Hills requires maps set up in a specific way. The readme has more details.

Notes for version 1.1:

• Added indicator to show whether the hill is above or below you.
• The exact same hill will no longer be chosen twice in a row.
• Added a floating fusion contrail for a better visual indication of the hill.
• Fixed a bug that prevented some maps from working with the script.
• Added Base Jumping Hills.
• Bumped Imperium down on the list of S7 files.

Lua gametype where the faster you're moving when killing someone, the more points you are awarded.

For example, if you kill someone while standing completely still, you get one point. If kill someone while running, you get more points. If you kill someone while running and falling, you get significantly more points. If you launch yourself with a rocket and kill someone while flying through the air, you get even more points.

This is a lua script that is meant to go with the Rugby gametype for alephone. Teams are red vs blue. The objective of rugby is to take the ball into the opponent's base.

This script mostly just helps let you know what is going on during the game. If you do not have the ball, the compass will point to it. If you have the ball it will point to the enemy's base.

The script also resets the ball if it lands on an "item impassable" polygon or if no one has touched the ball in 20 seconds. If you bring the ball to your own team's goal, the opposing team will get a point.

Notes for version 1.2:
