Simple lua script where the player will take damage from a significant fall, adapted from Cheat.lua, also allows jumping with the microphone key and plays sounds from large falls.
Initial Release
Known Bugs - If player falls from a significant height in media the players damage is delayed until leaving the media.
Territory is a new game type for team play. Red and Blue teams fight for control of a level, with scores based on floor area. Fun and simple.
(See the Readme for greater detail.)
Finally, a plugin that ruins mararthon.
This is a plugin for any marathon scenario that will act kind of like GPS navigation when activated. It can show just about any worthwhile objective on the map, and in most cases lead you directly to them.
This is a huge cheat, so it's not really recommended if you want the "true" marathon experience. It's for people that either don't have the patience to navigate through mazes themselves, or for people that just want to make sure they found everything on a given level. It can be very useful for tracking down all secrets.
For the first time in digital quality, you can hear Marathon's music as it first shipped in 1994.
The default M1A1 tracks use QuickTime 2.5, released in 1996, which changed some of the instruments. These files were recorded with QuickTime 2.0, which shipped with Marathon, to capture what it sounded like when Bungie first released the game.
Treellama asked for a curated list of maps from Starlight, so I picked a selection that should cover any player count and represents the full 10 years of maps in that pack.
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.
Part 1
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.

My long-overdue remastered Marathon 1 sounds. They should be noticeably less noisy, crisper, and (in some cases) less distorted than the originals - even more so than my remastered Marathon Infinity sounds, since all of the original Marathon 1 sounds were 8-bit.
Includes a readme with a bunch of (hopefully) useful information, but you should be aware of a few caveats before downloading or using these:
These will only work with Aleph One, not the vanilla Marathon app.
These will only work with the classic Marathon files, not M1A1.
If, for some reason, you are still using an Aleph One version prior to 1.3: (a) you really should upgrade to the latest version; (b) if you don’t, you’ll need to quit and reopen Aleph One after selecting these in your preferences.
These are half as loud as the original sounds. You may wish to adjust your music volume.
Should you have any other issues, please let me know via one of the forms of contact included in the readme. Beyond that, enjoy!
First release.
This appears to be a secret song for Marathon Trojan.
It can be found in a snd resource in the Trojan Manual. In Classic, after pasting the file to Scrapbook, then dragging it to the desktop, it was converted to .aiff format with SoundApp.
Thanks to GrimCleaver for teaching me this technique. :)
The song itself is 41 seconds long, and it ends rather abruptly. This is probably because it isn't the full song. It is still enjoyable.
Initial release.
This Weland plugin exports a pair of .obj and .mtl files of the current level, including texture information. When paired with texture bitmaps exported from ShapeFusion, fully textured level models can be loaded and viewed in other programs.
NEFX is proud to present the first ever custom-made map for Pathways Into Darkness...Or at least Marathon: Pathways Into Darkness. This is an extermination level, so return to your starting platform to exit after killing everything.
This level is highly action-oriented and full of edifying trials and variety like never before experienced in the game.
This plugin will replace all of the standard Infinity weapon items, ammo boxes and powerups with proper 3D equivalents. A demo map featuring all of the new models has been included.
v1.1:
v1.2:
v1.2.1:
v1.3 (final release):
These are plenty of physics I made using Hakvil 1.03 on my own time. These physics are made for Infinity, but if you try and use them on Durandal, it works too (I think). I took the time to make the mods more authentic, editing gun sounds as well.
Lazer Tag: Weapons mod.
Overpowered: Aliens are very strong/Weapons Mod.
Piercing explosives: Weapons mod.
Pretty Colors: Color mod (makes for a neat look?).
Quickdraw!: All weapons draw faster.
Super Punch: Fists have foward and backward recoil, 4000 damage w/ 400 random damage.
WTF?!?: Nuff said.
In the Player Physics folder: Feeling Doom?: Weapons have a side bob reminisant to how weapons in the Doom series moved.
Flying High: Typical flying physics (walking allows you to fly). Punches have foward and backward recoil to get you in flight.
Impervious: The player is invulnerable to any damage. Great for checking things on a newly built map?
Sonic Speed: You move twice as fast.
There are three? (I think) which will cause the game to crash...: - Overpowered - Piercing Explosives - WTF?!?
Enjoy!
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.
(Contains no new maps)
-New Weapons -New Physics -New Item Sprites
A very Work In Progress total conversion for any Marathon game, strives to create a World War 2 Russians VS Nazis combat experience.
As I have said before, this is incomplete, so please, I am a one man team as of now, and would like help, not harsh words.
Apparently, there was some sort of recurring download error on the first release, this should fix it.
In this new NEFX scenario shell for Marathon Aleph One, you're a pedestrian trying to get past a crowd of other pedestrians to get to the exit, in part by yelling and shoving. But no one can die, so be patient, persevering, and careful about where, when, and how you shove and yell.
Today I added one new map for Marathon: BOBJam, "How Originary Understandings Get Re-Reached". This can be downloaded individually or with other maps or the scenario itself at the provided link.
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.
