CFP is a complete set of high definition textures for Marathon Infinity and Durandal. Based on the original Freeverse Marathon 2 Durandal XBLA textures, these have been further enhanced by the Alephone community with glowmaps and made to support Marathon Infinity.
IMPORTANT: These scenery textures are not compatible with the Transparent_Liquids plugin as that is for the default textures. Make sure that that plugin is disabled or it will interfere with the freeverse splash and puddle textures.

AI upscale and cleanup on all textures - minor update - manually tweak shotgun shell sprite
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.
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.)

This is Zetren's 1024x1024 XBLA walls for M2 Durandal integrated with the bloom effects from thedoctor45's XBLA SuperPlugin and made to be compatible with the CFP set.
Installation: The downloaded file must be decompressed and the sub zip files moved to the appropriate plugin folder. The reason the plugin is broken up is for improved performance while still having the benefit of being compressed.
Note: With larger zipped plugins, Alephone puts more strain on the cpu for longer loads as it memory maps the contents. Breaking the set into smaller zips seems to improve loadtime performance quite a bit.

Uploaded to the wrong item...
I've always found the weapon reticles in the enhanced hud plugin to be too dim and hard to see, so I made brighter ones. To use, simply replace the default images in the enhanced hud plugin folder with these.
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 very simple Weland plugin lists all map annotations for the current level, in a dialog where they can be easily read or copied. Good for spell checking your scenario, or combing maps for secrets.
Are you working on a Lua HUD, and want to know how to draw inventory panels or weapons just like the built-in one? This plugin acts just like the hardcoded HUD from M2 and Infinity, so you can see how to duplicate any feature in Lua. It works with third-party scenarios too.
Fixes errors in net games with a kill limit or time-based scoring.
A GUI theme for Aleph One inspired by Apple's System 7.5, as seen in Marathon's original preferences dialogs. Based on an earlier (now obsolete) theme by Christian Bauer.
Version 1.3 uses the public-domain ChicagoFLF font instead of Apple's proprietary Chicago font.
This plugin is a port of the Durandal XBLA interface to Aleph One. Compatible with Marathon 2 and Infinity, and included in the all-in-one downloads of those games.
This version is distributed with Aleph One 1.8.1. Since the last S7 release, the following fixes were added:
Hello and welcome to my first post on Simplici7y!
This a fix for the Enhanced HUD plugin where you can actually see the Crosshair for the SMG. The step-by-step tutorial is in the README file of this mod. I'm actually surprised that no one else tried to fix the crosshair, since it took me a couple of minutes in Paint 3D.
Enjoy!
1.0 - Release of this mod.
This set of files will bring M1's Alien Weapon to M2, in place of the SMG. Just put the .shpA and .sndA files in your M2 main data folder and the .phyA one in the Physics folder. Then boot up the game and, in Preferences -> Environment, click on each field (Shapes, Sounds, Physics) and replace the standard files with the ones from this package. You're good to go now.
WARNING: Only the Major Enforcers will drop it, for now. They will still shoot with their flame cannons, no worries.
This is a map I made in college, ages ago. Heavily inspired by certain moments from the Rubicon solo campaign, but with its own unique twists.
This level is designed to be severely punishing, but absolutely doable with a sound strategy. There are ambushes. There are turret puzzles. There are times you'll have to run for your life.
One word of advice - you're not meant to fight every juggernaut. You can still try if you want to :)
The first and so far only build.
Enjoy an arena netmap for Marathon 1! It is tested in live netgames with the new Steam build, and it works. The design is a little rough around the edges, but you get a lot more ammo, guns, and space to play in than the classic netmaps.
This map was created in Pfhorte and submitted to the Map of the Month back in the day. It was lost for a number of years, and I was super happy to find it on the Marathon Archives bungie.org site.
Don't stand still on the flamethrower platform! :)
The original from May 2000.
It could use some tweaks with flow, and texturing, a bouncy wall or two, but it's still pretty fun. It would be cool to find a way to edit this and polish it up.
This is a slightly modified version of Hopper's M1A1 HUD. It moves the HUD to the lower left corner of the screen and allows for fullscreen mode without any black bar. This should work for any Aleph One scenario, including M1.
I also made a few small edits to the HUD itself for aesthetics and transparency.
Thanks to wrkncacnter for the additional scripting.
Fixed margins so the lua console can be viewed. Thanks to Terin in the Marathon Discord for fixing this!
