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.
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.
Perry Arena is my first map released to the public. It's packed full of carnage and uses the sewage texture set. M2 compatible. There are aliens and bobs for solo fun.
Changed some sounds and monster parameters to improve flow.
12 Infinity Net Maps
?Nothing showed off scale, beyond the Nerve Compression hanging in the edge of Danger. But he could not worry about the Nerve-box. That always came through cranching."
Re-added three maps from v1.0. Renamed one of these maps: The First Effect, Tombo the Unicycling Gorilla (new name), and Cut from Desire and Pain. Added custom shapes to Tombo.
Added two new maps: Sister Mary Balrog and Televised Feedlot.
Adjusted some weapons, sounds, lighting, architecture and textures in maps from v1.1.
This is a slightly modified version of the Default HUD created by Hopper: https://simplici7y.com/items/m2-default-hud/
This is meant for people that want the HUD to be small, but not obscure parts of the game world. If you are bothered by the black bar this usually leaves, it can be filled in with artwork. I've included several options for artwork in the resources/extra_images folder. Or you can create your own.
To size the HUD, you can use the typical HUD sizes in the options. However, they will all be smaller than the default HUD, as one of the goals of this plugin is to maximize the game world view.
The normal HUD also typically leaves black bars on the sides depending on your resolution and settings, and this HUD attempts to eliminate that from happening.
If you downloaded a PepperHUD that was floating around from a long time ago, you should get this new version.
Yeah, jumping on the bandwagon here.
This pack includes 4 physics models: Destruction, Synergy, VacBob War and Vidmaster Physics. VacBob War has been seen on Simplici7y before (with an MML script to boot) but the other three have never seen daylight.
Destruction is a classic over-the-top superpower physics model, including such gems as a flamethrower Gatling gun (which mows down enemies like clam chowder) and a flechette blood sprayer, which is in just because it's awesome. Slightly buggy, but if played well, is VERY FUN.
Synergy is also an overpowered model, but it is more reserved and realistic overall. It bears similarities to TC++, but with a slightly different flavor.
Vidmaster Physics is ALSO an overpowered physics model, but not for you. No, your weapons are downgraded to pea-shooters. It's the ENEMIES that get the power, and if you think you've seen everything and you're truly the best, try playing this. Don't even think about Total Carnage.
More information is in the readme.
First release.
Sick of mappers that carefully select textures to go with their useless maps? Tired of playing boring old maps that look the same every time you play?
Now there's a Lua script to randomly generate new textures each time you play!
It may even be slightly less terrible than you're thinking.
Version 1.0
by Gregory Ewing greg.ewing@canterbury.ac.nz
This is a set of Ruby plug-in scripts for Google Sketchup to export a model as a Marathon map file that can be played with the Aleph One game engine.
A tutorial is included which demonstrates what's been implemented so far. Start at Tutorial/index.html.
If you have used a previous version of MarathUp, see CHANGES.txt for a summary of added features, and have a look at the new sections in the tutorial.
This is free software. Share and enjoy.
This is a working version of the script the Professor helped me fix over email.
Luckily it was found in system files of old computer. It is now safe and sound.
NOTE: As of 2024-04-25, Rubicon X now integrates these fixes. If your Rubicon X Scripts folder has a “monsterlimits.mml” file, and its items, landscapes, scenery, walls, and weapons scripts show “last modified” dates in September 2022, you already have these fixes and don’t need this plugin, but I’m leaving it up because people who got Rubicon X before then may not want to re-download a 124 MiB scenario to get 14,100 bytes of fixes.
Rubicon X was released a long time ago, when Aleph One didn’t have bloom and when its monster activation limits were, by default, much higher than they are now. It hasn’t been updated since, so running it out of the box with no changes has several problems: monsters will randomly deactivate on several levels, and the bloom looks horrible because it defaults to overpoweringly high levels. I’ve created this plugin as an “all-in-one” fix for both these issues. It restores the monster activation limits to their intended values, and it makes the game look decent with bloom.
To run this, just put it in your Rubicon X plugins folder. (If you don’t have one, make a new “Plugins” folder in the “Rubicon X” folder – NOT the “Rubicon Data” folder – and stick this in it.) If you currently have Rubicon X running, you’ll need to quit the app and reload it.
First release.
I created these maps between 2000 - 2003. They have been uploaded before in a similar format. This pack adds one large solo map. I'm not sure about all this new fangled stuff you got here so you might need to tweak them a bit to work.
Not sure what happened to the original; if it's still floating around somewhere. This is the new version.
GeoCities may be gone, but the art of the GIF lives on. All multi-frame sequences from the original Marathon Shapes file are included.
Marathon: Pathways into Darkness Version 0.5 now available!
I am sorry it took so long to get this beta out to the public. The reason was that the MPiD Images file was giving a lot of trouble and so I have decided to replace it with a regular Infinity Images file.
If you download the beta I would love to hear your opinions and/or suggestions. I will not appreciate ugly rants but any sort of constructive criticism is VERY welcome. Please post your thoughts here or email me at: nhoad at sunbeach.net
Now, there are several problems in this beta that I am already aware of. If you have a suggestion for how to best fix them I would be happy to hear it:
Most blue in the game is transparent: This is a problem caused because of the blues used in PiD. DeepThought is indirectly helping me fix this problem. Monsters get stuck in walls or don't attack immediately: This is a mapping problem which I intend to fix as I polish the levels. Any mapping tips are welcome! There is no resting: Bobwithkeycard is helping me implement resting, for the moment there are only a set number of health potions per level. Some items are undersize or oversized Levels seem really short. This is simply a fact of PiD levels, if you move at any sort of decent speed the levels become much shorter PLAY ON NORMAL DIFFICULTY! PiD was not designed for multiple difficulty levels and neither is MPiD! Monsters on Total Carnage WILL eat you alive! You cannot go back between levels: A1 doesn't like this feature and it would be incredibly hard to implement (and not really worth it in the end). So there will be no backtracking.
Those are the big problems and I hope to fix them all. I REALLY want to hear your recommendations, opinions or even encouragement! If there are any problems in the beta (such you cannot travel between level 3 and 4) let me know and I will upload a corrected map file for the beta.
What to expect in future versions:
A completely new Images file. New high-res textures, weapons and sprites by DeepThought New LUA by bobwithkeycard (LUA which will allow resting, talking to the dead PiD style, nuclear bombs and more) Chapter screens by Phobos-Romulus All of the original PiD levels
Thank you all very much for your support and I hope you enjoy this beta until the full version of MPiD is released! Note: There is no release date so don't bother asking.
Many of the MPiD team members have come and gone over the years and I believe that myself and Patrick White are the only remaining active members of the team listed below.

Here is a quick but fun physics file. If the name hasn't given it away, then there must be something wrong with you. If you guessed that everything shoots rockets, you're absolutely correct!!!! Now everything except the fists will shoot rockets! :) Yep, even the flamethrower!!! I don't recommend shooting anything at close range now. Have fun!!!! :)
This physics change the size of the player! If someone wants me to upgrade the weapons just let me know! By the way: the screen will look like always but if see another player or u put the 3rd person camera u will see the difference!
I hope u enjoy! plz rate and comment. (if u arent going to make sugestions, or u are going to say something like "i have seen this physics before" or stupid things like trying to put lawyers into this just shut up) :D
34 multiplayer maps for Marathon Infinity. Ninth edition features 4 new maps.
Many of these maps include unique precipitation/weather/novelty Lua scripts, while others are simpler in design.
For those of you who want to spruce up the scenery without having to look at those heinous XBLA Monsters, here's a Plugin that will just change the look of the scenery items to be higher-resolution.
NOTE: This plugin should work with Infinity, but will not modify the Jjaro scenery.
Replaces Water, Sewage, Lava, and Pfhor scenery items with higher-resolution versions.
This is a pack of 3 Lua gametypes that I created. Last Man on the Hill, Elimination and Hill Elimination. The readmes are included with each gametype, so you know the rules and how they each work.
Turns out this crap wasn't on Simplici7y.
SUMMARY: A small, very simple deathmatch/survival map designed for netplay & the XBLA Survival Plugin.
INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS: After download, extract "MI_Epitome.zip" somewhere on your PC. Open the "MI_Epitome" folder & read the "ReadMe" file for full instructions.
Tested on Latest "Aleph One" build with latest "Marathon Infinity" data files.
XBLA Survival Plugin can be found here: https://simplici7y.com/items/xbla-survival-2/
This map was made for Marathon Shadow, long dead. It was textured in a prototype of a texture set that never saw the daylight; hence, it needs a total repaving (however the lighting may be ok). There are no monsters.
It is, in other words, wholly unfinished. But it is architecturally the best map I ever made. I release it under GPL and creative commons and what not.
It is not finished.
