To celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Marathon, I present to you a fully dynamic soundtrack for Marathon 2: Durandal. Over two and a half hours of original music, inspired by your favorite Marathon tracks taken in bold new directions; all composed and placed for-scene in the game. Incorporating the original QuickTime Musical Architecture instruments into a faux-MIDI cocktail of delight, experience Marathon 2 like you've never done before!
Future updates are being considered. Stay in touch on Discord @ .solartron
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.
Many of these maps include unique precipitation/weather/novelty Lua scripts, while others are simpler in design.
Vasara is a Lua script and dedicated HUD for use in texturing maps in Aleph One. The HUD provides more explanation for new users compared to Visual Mode, and features a mouse-driven interface for choosing textures and options.
Please report any bugs or feature requests on GitHub.
Version 1.1.2 fixes bugs with control panel editing and texture alignment. Thanks to Treellama for the fixes.
Enjoy a Vangelis-esque, high fidelity upgrade of the Marathon soundtrack with furious guitars, deep space humming, and ethereal synth. Install by replacing the "Music" folder with this download. You may need to delete "Web Media Extensions" if file explorer freezes while attempting this. Available on Bandcamp!
Support the excellent creator of this, PixelMations if you wish.
A small project I worked on.
Version 1: All Drones are allies, be careful with fusion 2nd trigger it's an overload effect kill player in close range, missile launcher has 2nd trigger shoots 2 missiles at once, WARNING all weapons disappear when they have no ammo, hunters are slightly stronger than normal has a force shield, possessed drone is possessed juggernaut, bobs have a quick-fire attack, warning bobs have minor and major setting putting in total carnage you will not have a bob give you a pistol instead you will have assassin bob, you have defense drones replacing tick, shotgun has explosive rounds, the first minor & major Pfhor Fighter are Invisible with fast speed & quick attack.
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.
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.
At long last, here is the continuation of my surrealist total conversion, "Spatial Outpouring", the first chapter of which was developed back in 2015-2016, and released in 2018.
I had the idea of creating a 'psychedelic' marathon scenario with a highly otherworldly plot, and heavy use of bright colors and fractals.
I also used synthesizers to create copious sound FX and ambiences for the game, and included an original song of mine in the title screen (this second chapter contains a different original song than was included with the first).
This second chapter was mostly developed years ago, but progress slowed to a halt for a long time, as I was frustrated trying to make the bizarre levels a playable experience.
Public appreciation for the 1st chapter has now led me to finish what I started, and here you have it - 3 new levels. I am pleased to say that at this point, this new material is truly the natural continuation to the original, and goes deeper into strangeness than ever before.
Texture fix on level 2.
Demo
Welcome to The BOB Factory version 1.0.1 !
Those friendly little BOBs have been kidnapped by the Pfhor for experimental purposes! After being sacked by Durandal and friends a few hundred years ago, the Pfhor Empire has almost reached it's former glory, save for one small detail...what to do about Earth and all those superhuman space marines. So those wily aliens built The BOB Factory. There they plan to develop a new type of assimilated BOB, one that is indistinguishable from normal humans and doesn't say silly things to give itself away. If they reach Earth, those assimilateds would wreak total havoc. This is where you step in and save the day...Space Marine.
The map consists of 3 levels
Version 1.0.1 fixes the terms & pattern buffers -- making the terms look like terms and the pattern buffers look like pattern buffers.
B'rak Station v4 by FrigidMan
・ 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
・ 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.
Aleph One version 1.7 or newer is required.
