Game quits when trying to transport from the first level. Skipped second level and started new game with third level...no more crashes after that. Would like to to see a walkthru...stuck on Enchanting New Mexico... Otherwise enjoyed the scenario.
THEY JUST KNOW THEY LIKE MARARTHON SO WHEN THE NEW MARARTHON MAPS ARE MADE AVAILABLE THEY PRAISE THEM TO THE HEAVENS
THIS IS WHY WE NEED YOU TO COME BACK
WE'RE STARVED FOR ACTUAL OPINIONS AND PERSONALITY
YOU HAD BETTER NOT HAVE LOST YOUR PASSWORD AND OR EMAIL ADDRESS
PS
NO OFFENCE DUGIT YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU AND YOU NEED TO COME BACK TOO
Why is this getting so many 5 star ratings when there is something clearly wrong with the monster placement?
In a lot of places there seems to be no rhyme or reason to where monsters spawn.
As though you just took the monster placement clicker and had a seizure while placing the monsters.
There seems to be no FUN way to engage the enemy.
@Wazdakka, and others that might be wondering:
Visual Mode is a plug-in for Aleph One. It is NOT a plug-in for Weland.
In order to run Visual Mode you need to download: (1) Aleph One, (2) a Marathon Scenario.
Both of these are available for free online and easily discoverable via google.
-Put Aleph One into the Scenario folder.
-Put Visual Mode into the "Plug-Ins" folder within the Scenario folder.
-Replace the Map.scaA file with your own map. (Re-name your map to "Map.scaA"
-Launch Aleph One, start game. Texture!
I KNOW YOU DOWNLOADED THIS FILE.
DON'T ABANDON US TO THE TERTORS, DESTINIES, AND DUGIT CLONES OF THE WORLD.
A DOOGLESS PFHORUMS IS NO PFHORUMS AT ALL.
Great stuff! Thanks for doing this guys. The translation looks good and I'm happy that people can now actually follow the story and missions in English.
MOPPY.
PFHORUMS.
ACT AGAINST YOUR BETTER JUDGMENT
It was a 2. Then I figured out the TOZT & VISR mechanics.
Wonderful scenario for its unique features.
However, its not a 4 because this scenario is not scary at all.
Marathon Evil's Devlin encounter, Marathon Apotheosis Assassin enounter, heck even Marathon Eternal scared me more with the first Wraith encounter.
Also the level itself will get you hung up on just about everything.
EDIT:
I take a little back. While the scenario itself isn't scary, if you forget to turn off the scripting your other scenarios will literally be haunted.
Brilliant use of Aleph One -- the style perfectly plays to the engine's strengths. I can't recall a better use of fog. The pacing drifts from "deliberate" to "tedious" at times, and the abrupt ending lacked closure. Despite that and some minor student-project bugs (a few untextured sides and geometry issues), it's a fresh approach to Aleph One mods and a must-play for fans of art games.
GET BACK ON THE PFHORUMS
GODDAMN
That second level is a pain in the dick.
The rest are very atmospheric, and the blue pillar terminals require some dancing for them to work.
I beat it on Total Carnage. This experience was more Halo than Halo. Its very mysterious, I just wish there was more to it.
The plugin appears to cause issues during multiplayer sessions. The player using the plugin tends to get out-of-sync during the match, usually during weapon reloading sequences.
Aside from that, this is a nifty addition that I'm glad you've shared with us.
Worked pretty well for the 4-player game we had a few days ago. It's good that you fixed that "stuck" corner, reduced the platform delay times, and added more weapons to the lower areas, still a few things though. I would really consider removing the Jjaro textures, as they really don't fit well with sets other than its own. The short hallway with the dead end, across from the teleporter seems rather pointless and may only encourage camping, or be an annoying trap for others. I would also consider either moving the invisibility or make it spawn in more than just that ledge, since that may also encourage a possible camping point.
I have a big question - I'm using Weland 1.4.1 and I've downloaded this replacement for Visual Mode thanks to all the positive reviews. However, when I drag the file into my "Plugins" folder in Weland, nothing appears when I view my plugins dropdown menu in the actual application. Would somebody please help me out?
I'm liking all of it so far... the action is quite fast, which is a nice change just coming from Marathon EVIL.
But I'm totally stuck on Enchanting New Mexico. Where's the walkthrough so I can move on?
It's actually kinda nice being able to check out some levels without worrying about any hits.
When I click Visual Mode on the plugin menu, it just appear a weird image. How to use this plugin?
Visual mode lua is released under the JUICE license, and one of the requirements of the JUICE license is it's not allowed to be hosted on Github. Better get a good lawyer.
It's good though.
That's got to be a reason to use it, right?
For running through crappy solo levels. Thanks.
