Its a good effort but does not alleviate the core problem of Marathon being a complete sausage fest, as though the 3rd party Marathon Universe wasn't bleak enough to begin with now it has human women with no sex appeal.
The wait continues for sexually appealing BoBs, a feature that would fundamentally change the Marathon sandbox.
At best it answers the question as to why there are no children on the Marathon, the men and women of the Marathon won't touch each other.
thx for creating this but i dont have the knowledge to get it to work.
i dont know where to place the .lua file and thus cant give it a good review...
what would be nice is to have it have a little ''starters'' guide in the next version.
Looks and works great! Nice to have that final hole patched up. Not a big deal, but I could put it in the HD Monsters/Scenery plugin, if you want, shoot me a message on the pfhorums.
Now all we need is an upgrade to the vacbob and the Infinity set will be complete!
I think you did a good job with these sprites. They all look beautiful and you stayed true to the original look of the low res sprites. Excellent!
If you know your way with 3D programs, please consider doing a real 3D plugin for sprites. We had one in the works 4 years ago for the water set. The ceilings lamps were a sight to behold when they were in 3D. All puddles also looked very good on flat 3d planes.
There are 4 starscapes missing from this which are present in the lower-resolution texture pack within the all-in-one installer
Thanks for your work Alpha
Work to enhance the aesthetics of Marathon is always greatly appreciated!
For obvious reasons, this plugin makes an excellent companion to the "HD Scenery" or "Infinity Monsters HD Plugin" since they add sprites it doesn't & vice versa.
P.S. Thank you for this plugin General. For a while I was worried that the only thing this community cared about was useless netmaps & other crap, but you renewed my faith. You've shown me that some members do actually care about improving the original scenarios.
lets play king of heighters or something
ray, do you still smoke? if so, are tobacco taxes still prohibitive? if so, do you still live in salem? if so, are you a witch or a witch hunter? fuck survival
i made that 2.5d joke about eight years ago. i retract my 4-star review
i'm still here
fuck survival
do you idiots understand yet
fuck survival
ALL OF THE FIVE STAR RATINGS ON THIS PRODUCT WERE MADE BY REAL ACCOUNTS THAT WERE MADE LONG AGO. IF YOU HAVE ANY KNOWLEDGE BY NOW, YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT W'RKNCACNTER IS AN EFFING GOD.
.
kawaiipet knew what he was doing. wrk knows even more what he's doing. remember team fortress classic? and those dumb physics let you fly around using grenades without dying? and your wildest dreams came true? that's how the olympics are in wrk's and kawaiipet's mind. the path around a sphere crosses itself and now we're back where we started. try it.
p.s. fuck survival p.p.s. needs robert tag
wrk's view on the matter: "maybe if i actually finish it someday it'll be worthy of the robert tag"
Survival 2.0 manages to improve on some of the problems presented in Megabyte's script, by eliminating rounds and implementing continuous waves, as well as tweaking enemy balance and adding Bobs. The slow build in difficulty up to the rocket juggernauts is more rewarding and engaging in my opinion. Having the ability to call in Bobs for reinforcements adds another layer to the game as well, and has rekindled my own and others' interest in the survival gametype.
However, the biggest addition to this version is Ben's survival script generator, which allows the player to easily design and implement their own survival scripts. While still somewhat limited at this point (you can't open existing scripts as far as I know), the user interface is pretty intuitive, and the ability to customize your own survival script is worth the price of admission on its own. So far I haven't run into any problems with it. Well worth the download, and good job Benoit!
Great plugin for making circles. Great that this exists due to the lack of shapes tool for weland.
Just one note, this won't work on Weland version 1.4.3 (same goes with a lot of other plugins too), you need Weland version 1.4.1 or earlier in order for this plugin to work.
Pew pew. This is fun and gives me shit to do when I don't want to write my homework. I can't survive for 5 minutes once the red s'pht'kr appear.
Seriously, this got me and my brother back into Marathon. Me likey.
Really good design concept. I had such fun plowing through this on Total Carnage -- there was nary a dull map and I'm now a better player for having gone through it all. "The Final Sacrifice" is so depressingly difficult, though -- it seems like there's no health or save point whatsoever for the player after you jump from the starting ledge. I guess that was the intention. I also seem to recall at least one map in earlier editions that isn't here. Other than that, however, pretty addicting.
5/5, my life is now complete. On a more serious note, props to Wrk for writing this script. It's legit (for once). I suppose it's a shame no one really plays anymore, I would have loved trying it out in a full 8-man free-for-all.
