Over the course of 2021/2022, multiple people in the marathonruns.net discord worked on a project that had the goal of making maps that intentionally went against the conventional style of mapmaking normally associated with Marathon. Instead, what you are about download is an incubator anthology of maps that promoted thinking outside the box not only for the mapmakers in making their respective maps, but also for the players themselves tackling them.

We're gonna be completely honest with you, this is definitely not easy. You will more than likely spend countless attempts on some, if not all maps. With this said, be creative and you may find alternative solutions to what may seem like the intended solution. If you are truly stuck on a level and need the minuscule life preserver of help, you can ask in the #get-a-clue channel in the official hellpak discord (link in the readme) and we can provide a somewhat hint at what to do.

In addition to perusing the fine selection of experimental gameplay in this beautiful space station of a map pack, why not also take 2 seconds of your day to switch over to the full original soundtrack, which features 10 tracks not part of the map pack itself. Similar to hellpak the map pack, hellpak the OST also follows the same experimental and avant-garde principles.

Good luck and Finish Durandal.

Notes for version Version 42069.4:Zero Sugar:

This is the same ball-busting, intentionally obtuse, infuriating gameplay content as 42069.4, but with all custom graphics removed.

Due to my ever increasingly sour disposition since the release of this in regards to generative art and the "Generative LLM and Machine Learning Hellscape" (I am not calling it the 2 letter buzz word), even if it was made in the early days of a hellscape(2020-2021), I have invoked the "dungeons poobah" card and pulled the original uploads of Hellpak Vol 1. Treellama went through and removed all PICTs in the mappack (Ty for helping me with this). Even the non-generative art in it. Scorched earth. Other than this, this should play exactly like 42069.4 and prior iterations. There will be a "directors cut" in the future with entirely new artwork, created by humans, based on said human's interpretations of the original prompts that Aaron fed into whatever the hell they used to make the things that were in this prior. I will even personally make a few new levels on top of this as a added bonus going off of things that have been learned since Vol 1 and the mapping period of Vol 2.

Support human artists, I am begging you.

The original changelog as follows:

Hopefully the final point release of Vol 1 as we focus on Vol 2.

‘Perfect Matred’: Game balance issues and possibly occasional crashes. It’s been like half a year – you think I remember?

‘hsinif ladnarud’: Exited to the wrong level, resulting in an unintended case of a level transition without an autosave.

‘Bungie, did you get that thing I sent you? It came from me. It cam’: Its victory condition was more unforgiving than we meant it to be because we overestimated something about an earlier level. (Left intentionally vague to avoid spoilers.)

The cycle cannot be so easily broken.
Though you escaped the Night's attempt to lay claim to your mind, surely you will awaken to little more than another round of the same thing as before.

Your weapons are stronger, deadlier.
Some of your old friends have new faces, new forms, or even new functions. May they sustain your struggle against inevitability a bit longer this time.

New, strange places
Gaze upon sights unseen and see if you can find what lies beneath. What lies ahead dwarfs what came before.

Journey forward into the black and white world of Divine Twilight with this direct continuation from Chapter 1.

(Note from the Composer, Talashar: The soundtrack for this initial release is not the final mix for many tracks, but he's happy to have it here for the time being until the final mix is ready.)

Notes for version 1.0:

The initial release for Divine Twilight Chapter 2.

These are the old textures from Feral and Frolic which was praised for their minimalism. I had never seen the reviews on those 2 scenarios until recently and decided that I should do some usable assets for scenario making.

These were taken from the shapes files with ShapeFusion and can be added into another. Replace one of the existing wall sections.

It is free to use these textures but credit me please.

Notes for version 1:

Initialized

Pipe Pack is a pack of 3 multiplayer maps for Classic Marathon Infinity. These maps have a theme of industrial areas interpreted in an abstract way. These maps were designed for both atmosphere and carnage. No merged shapes or physics. Everything was merged with "ActivationLimit.mml", in case anyone wanted to try these maps with the Survival plugin by Benoit.

CONTENTS:

1. [XS] Pipe Dream: (2-4 players) A very small area featuring floating platforms and a winding tube that snakes through the level. The design makes some players feel uneasy but to the creator it is calming. Very quick action, 4 players is pushing it.

2. [S] Metal Processing: (2-5 players) Battle along the rim of 3 vats containing Pfhor goo in an abstract alien metal processing facility. Watch your step.

3. [M] Chemical Plant: (2-6 players) Outdoor arena with plenty of weapons, mostly ends up being a rocket duel. Inspired by the design of chemical plants.

An evil hack of the Basic HUD (as included with most A1 releases), but it has transparency, and is decorated slightly, so it's awesome.

Does Basic HUD's opaqueness get in your way? Do you like Enhanced HUD, but just can't get past the lack of the inventory panel? Then this might just be for you! Comes with tiny little weapons displays that just seem to morph into other shapes inexplicably. The UESC is crazy!

No refunds.

Get it for Marathon!

Alternatively, get it on the Workshop for Marathon 2 and Infinity, respectively.

Notes for version 1.2-alpha2:

• Initial release for M2/MI

Notes for version 1.2-alpha2:

• Brought to parity with the Marathon 2/Infinity versions code-wise kind of sort of.
• The rocket launcher rockets aren't as bunched up to the weapon itself anymore.

You are a doll

An undead with the heart of a human made to serve. You are tasked with fighting to serve the Life Vessel, a massive vehicle carrying what remains of humanity. The world is dead, ruled by the undead and gods made by humanity's own hand.

You are strong

Your mutated body gives you enough strength to crush lesser foes in a single blow, but even that strength alone will not be enough. Throw your pistol, fire an impractical amount of shotguns, or charge up divine lighting.

You are clueless

With only scraps of memory of your past and little knowledge of the present, the future is a worrying prospect. You have little choice but to fight and hope some sense will emerge from your trials.

This 7 map scenario is only the first chapter of a black and white story.

It is recommended to play the alpha demo first as it functions as a prologue, though it is not required. You can find the demo here https://simplici7y.com/items/divine-twilight-alpha-demo/

Hint for those unfamiliar with Marathon: Switches can be hit from a distance with grenades or a thrown pistol.

Notes for version 1.1 (The OST Update):

The soundtrack for Divine Twilight by Talashar is out! Unfortunately, issues with uploading here means that the OST must be uploaded as its own separate plugin. Go to https://simplici7y.com/items/divine-twilight-ost-plugin/ for the ost plugin or the associated downloads. The title track is, however, included already. You can also listen to it on Bandicamp here: https://talashar.bandcamp.com/album/divine-twilight-chapter-1 In addition, some missing textures and filename issues for linux users has been corrected.

A simple test of seeing how Divine Twilight's weapons (as they will be in Chapter 2) fares in a netplay environment. The player sprites and a few other things are currently unchanged from Chapter 1/original marathon sprites. This has only one map, a modified version of Infinity's Delusions of Grandeur (Delusions of Divinity)
