I came up with the concept for this and created this map a while ago. I thought I'd finally release it to the world so other people can enjoy it.
Lower Grade weapons = More points
Weaker weapons are harder to kill with thus will grant you more points, stronger weapons are easy to kill with, therefore you will gain less points if you use them.
Many thanks to Hail, Benoit, limonene, Windbreaker, Data, and others for their help in testing and balancing the script.
Future versions may include turning off auto switch and customization.
Current Netgame point distribution:
<pre><code>• Missile = 1 points • Flamethrower = 3 points • Shotgun = 5 points • SMG = 7 points • AR Grenade = 15 points • AR Bullet = 10 points • Alien Weapon = 20 points • Fusion Bolt Minor = 20 points • Fusion Bolt Major = 15 points • Pistol = 30 Points • Running Fists = 25 points • Walking Fists = 35 Points • Standing Fists = 50 points </code></pre>Originally released in 2002, "Xariim" is my solo scenario for Marathon Rubicon. 14 solo levels, one solo carnage level, three Read Me's. The (positive) review on archives.bungie.org is still up - read it if you want.
Tested with Rubicon X and Aleph One 1.2.1. Select the scenario file under Environment.
ADRESSING THE 2/5 REVIEW BELOW: Yes, it is true that this release has issues. While I don't know what the reviewer is refering to with Ataraxia being "unbeatable" (I just played through the entire package), it is true that a switch in "Closed Quarters BOB Combat" should actually be a destructable surface. As a result you can block your own progress by hitting the "switch" again. There are more similar bugs in later levels. There are other minor problems too, like some polys not having ambient sounds. That all being said, I can assure the reviewer that Rubicon Xariim was tested a lot, by me, Jane Davison and partially Christopher Lund. John Sumner vidmastered the whole thing, so you can watch him beat the Ataraxia level. The reason why these issues never got fixed is that I released the package in 2002 when I finished school. After that I was off doing the mandatory military service in Germany, so not much mapmaking going on during that time.
This is a proper AlephOne port of the old Erodrome scenario for Marathon Infinity.
Should you encounter any more problems that were not present in the original version please post a comment and I will look into it.
PS: Be warned that Erodrome contains quite a bit of nudity in some of the later levels of the game.
All HUD related problems have been fixed, and a few sound related bugs have also been fixed.
The all-in-one (AOI) Marathon 2 installer has these textures at 512x512 resolution. Install this to enjoy Marathon 2's textures at double that.
This folder is identical content wise to the 'HD Textures' folder contained by default within Marathon 2' plugins folder, except all textures have been replaced by ones with a resolution of 1024x1024.
This differs from the other 1024x1024 texture plugin for M2 on this site in that this download contains Freeverse's HD skyboxes.
To install: unzip, and drop into Marathon 2's plugins folder, then activate it in-game.
IMPORTANT: Delete or deactivate the original "HD Textures" folder.
PLEASE NOTE: To avoid unsightly skybox tiling, play on an FOV of 88 or lower(assuming aspect ratio of 16:9) and tick 'limit vertical view'.
Plugin Version of Tim Vogel's 'Total Texture Enhancement Pack' v7 for Marathon. Updated to be compatible with Aleph One 1.2.1 and above.

Replaces the old flamethrower projectile animation with prettier flame. Works best with bloom enabled.
Added 7 additional frames, so this uses a shapes patch to append some bitmaps and frames to the explosions collection.
For added fun, make some custom physics with a slower, wandering flamethrower burst. Also cut down the firing sequence on anything using a flamethrower to one tick.

SL Maps is a net pack for infinity consisting of levels from Infinity, M2, and others that have been modified, usually for additions or better flow, or remade.
Proper Credits
The levels listed below in this pack come from Quick Six and were originally created by Treellama.
Age of Aquarius. Incontinental Divide.
Major Changes.
You're Gonna Die Big Time: Added a new room near the stairway which connects both sides of the upper level, and also serves as a spawn point.
Minor Changes.
Flight Of The Toolator (both versions): Straightened out the ceiling lights for the outer halls.
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.
A netmap made by JUICEMAN in 2007. It has 1x cans instead of 3x cans now.
Revival of a long lost quest for vending machines.
Single Player Lua + HUD + MML + 3d Scenery + Sounds!
That's right, the vending machines talk to you now. You weren't crazy after all. Now get away from me.
This is a demo, so not much is extremely polished, but it should be fun to play with in the meanwhile.
+Improved model and skin.
+Fixed issue with rebellion maps breaking Lua script.
+Did I mention it's much prettier now?
-Still can't ensure glow map masks properly. Pfft.
This plugin replaces most of the original Jjarro props with 4x resolution rendered versions.
-The sun sprite is not replaced yet, but I have no idea where it shows up anyway.
-The broken light fixtures are not replaced either, as the game doesn't let you break Jjarro lights.
The next version will probably include the star and unused broken lights
This is a script that modifies Marathon/Aleph One's FOV values.
"Why would I need to download this if I can just find the code to this script on the various threads at the Pfhorums, copy and paste it into a text editor and save it as a mml file?" Quite simple, because you're lazy.
This script will not work on scenarios that have their own FOV modification scripts included.
Marathon olympics is heavily inspired by a map KawaiiPet hosted in 2005.
This is my attempt to re-create that awesome experience.
It is a multiplayer map that should be hosted untimed with the netscript gametype. It has embedded lua.
I'd like to add more events to this map eventually, when I get around to it.
Turn marathon into a turn based strategy game with this lua script.
When hosting, just pick one of the standard gametypes like normal and enable this script. It is not a netscript gametype.
This existed once a long time ago, but I must have loched and deleted it or something.
I've made quite a few scripts for Alpha One over the years and I figured I'd write a guide to help others.
This guide contains all of my secrets for building awesome lua scripts. With it, you too will be able to write beautiful code.
Take it from me, I'm a xpert LUA engineer.
