Portal of Sigma is an Aleph One scenario with a new story, landscapes, textures, weapons, and updated sprites.
I've repackaged it and fixed a few things with the MML to make everything work with modern Aleph One. -Shappie

This Lua script introduces a number of changes and tweaks in the mechanics of co-operative games. Version 2 has a number of improvements thanks to the new Lua API found in Aleph One v0.20.
See the Readme file for a whole lot more detail.
Added a few minor changes, including one that allows the script to work with the post-1.0 betas.
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.
Bug Fixes - Damage from fall occurs almost immediately upon landing, there is no longer and unrealistic delay.
Damage occurs from a fall beneath liquids now.
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.

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)
The files in question that should be used in the event that there are issues with it automatically choosing the right things Scenario: dtmpprototype.sceA physics: sketchynetplayphys.phyA shapes: sketchyshapesch2pbtest.shpa sounds: sketchysounds HUD: Nech Tech Hud (Make sure to select the version that comes with this scenario as Ch1's is out of date)
Changed the scenario files to actually reflect the scenario itself so that people aren't setting it up wrong or trying to join with normal Infinity instead of the scenario
One of the cooler features M1A1 took advantage of was animated textures. This plugin brings them back full circle to classic M1.
I made a few touch-ups, ranging from recoloring for accuracy to M1's palette, to smoothing out flickering pixels, to fixing some inconsistencies from the original game.
NOTES:
• I included the originals to any textures I made changes to, in case you prefer them or just want to see what I changed.
• The Durandal image on the puzzle switches is not used because (to my knowledge) it didn't appear in-game.
CREDITS:
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.
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.
