Demo
Welcome to The BOB Factory version 1.0.1 !
Those friendly little BOBs have been kidnapped by the Pfhor for experimental purposes! After being sacked by Durandal and friends a few hundred years ago, the Pfhor Empire has almost reached it's former glory, save for one small detail...what to do about Earth and all those superhuman space marines. So those wily aliens built The BOB Factory. There they plan to develop a new type of assimilated BOB, one that is indistinguishable from normal humans and doesn't say silly things to give itself away. If they reach Earth, those assimilateds would wreak total havoc. This is where you step in and save the day...Space Marine.
The map consists of 3 levels
Version 1.0.1 fixes the terms & pattern buffers -- making the terms look like terms and the pattern buffers look like pattern buffers.
B'rak Station v4 by FrigidMan
・ This map has really been messed with. Since I converted this map to a solo level in my solo adventure, I noticed I made some major modifications that made things more interesting and smoother. This map was plagued with slowdown due to the immense look and feel of it. So, I took the solo level and then converted it back to a net level. Doing this removed about 500 polygons, and monsters, but hey... you dont want all that in a net level right? SO, this map has realyl kinda changed since its old version
Pfhor Winds v4 by FrigidMan
・ Fixed a few texture problems, and increased ammo. Also, even though you can turn off aliens in a net game, The game will always start with 15 bobs to slaughter.
Aleph One version 1.7 or newer is required.

This is a demo/proof of concept release for an OPEN-TO-EVERYONE COMMUNITY MAPPING PROJECT, Durandal Done Different. Inspired by community projects for Doom, such as Doom The Way Id Did, DDD is a celebration of the original game, its limitations, quirks and strengths.
The end goal of this project is to recreate, in the "style" of the original game, the entire 28-level campaign for Marathon 2. This isn't strictly speaking remakes of the original levels, but just a different interpretation of the writing and story beats as if it were 1995 all over again.
This 3-level demo features my replacements for Waterloo Waterpark, Slings and Arrows, and What About Bob. They're meant as a demonstration of the project's objective.
You are welcome to contribute! A direct link to the Discord for development of this project is in the text file of this download, or you can ask me for it on the main Marathon discord. Or you can just play the 3 maps included and wait patiently for the final release, sometime in the heavens...
This is a three level campaign textured for Marathon 2.

Initial Upload

This plugin includes the high-res enemy sprites found by Hippieman with some improvements made by herecomethej2000 as well as the hi-res VacBob sprites provided by General Tacticus and the HD wall texture replacement graphics created by Goran Svensson along with a few fixes and some glow/ bumpmaps.

A collection of all my most popular net maps, but tweaked and adjusted for optimum Infinity pleasure.
It does not have any pre-merged Physics in any of the maps, so you can use your own physics with this.
The Levels: • Damned if you do... • Desperate Measures • Pfhor Winds • Axiocranium • Brak Carnage • Carnage Heights • Hatala • Flying Leap • Cringe • Cringe Again • Pfhree Pfhor All
Final version of these net maps.
A full scenario for Marathon Infinity. It is a 6 level breach and infiltrate mission into a Pfhor military compound, complete with new terminal and chapter arts, as well as some interesting old school mapping tricks and fun bits.
This version of the scenario was updated to Marathon Infinity (textures and refinements). If you want to play this scenario in Marathon 2, it is highly recommended you grab the other archive (specifically for M2), or many textures just won't look right on things.
Final version for Siege of Nor'Korh.
Marathon: Istoria is a single-player RPG scenario set in the Marathon universe and designed for the Aleph One engine. It pushes the engine to its limits by using advanced character progression, combat, and storytelling.
Customize your character by choosing from seven different player classes, each with their own unique active and passive abilities. Decide which conventional weapons you want to specialize in, and make use of a brand new arsenal of spells. Explore Istoria while discovering its secrets and how you fit in the world through a combination of terminals and communicating with the recently deceased. Istoria features an original soundtrack by Jon Irons.

NOW UPDATED FOR ULTRAWIDE AND 16:10!
Experience the authentic 1994 jank of Marathon 1's classic HUD as if it were made for your monitor!
This plugin takes the classic HUD and extends it to fill modern 16:9, 16:10, and Ultrawide displays.
The same plugin covers widescreen monitors whether it is 16:9, 16:10, or 21:9. It automatically adapts to your chosen resolution.
With the extra space, additional inventory pages are displayed. In Solo games, weapons and ammo are displayed. In Netgames, the scoreboard is always displayed.
Based on the Default M1 HUD plugin included with Aleph One's M1 release.
For a more minimal but still classic style HUD, check out my Widescreen Marathon 2 HUD plugin, which includes a specially modified variant for Marathon 1.
Wide Marathon 2 & Marathon Infinity HUD here.
