This mod restores the original fonts used in the Macintosh version of Marathon.
NOTE: This only works with the DEFAULT HUD, custom HUDs have been reported to have issues with this plugin, so experiment at your own risk.
v1.0 - Initial Release
NOW UPDATED FOR ULTRAWIDE!
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 and Ultrawide displays.
The same plugin covers both 16:9 and 21:9 monitors. 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 Classic M1 HUD plugin posted here by Hopper.
Wide Marathon 2 & Marathon Infinity HUD here.
2.19 - Ultrawide support
1.1 - Extra Inventory Page
1.0 - Initial release
This mod restores the original fonts used in the Macintosh version of Marathon.
NOTE:
As of AlephOne version 1.8 (initial Steam release), having carnage messages enabled in multiplayer (even if you don't have a carnage messages MML installed) causes an error to be spammed on the screen, so avoid netgames where that's enabled. This may be fixed in a future Aleph One update, though.

v1.0 - Initial Release
This is the default HUD for Marathon 2 & Marathon Infinity, extended to fill today's modern 16:9 screens when using "largest" HUD size mode. This plugin can be used with both Marathon 2 & Infinity.
A second inventory page is displayed to fill the new space. In Solo games, the extra page always shows Ammunition. In Netgames, the extra page always shows the Scoreboard.
Additionally, the 3D game view is no longer letterboxed.
Normal, Double, and Largest HUD sizes are all supported.
Lastly, this also fixes a couple small issues the original HUD had:
SMG/Fusion pistol item & ammo names are no longer cut off since now we have a bit more horizontal space
Yellow/Purple shield bars now don't have gray corners when overlapping the bar under it
Motion tracker graphic not as dithered as before, so it stands out less compared to the regular background
Note that due to custom graphics this is not compatible with custom scenarios that replace the HUD.
Based on the "M2 Default HUD" Lua by Hopper
This will not work with M1. I may later make a wide adaptation of the M1A1 HUD for those who want this kind of HUD in M1. Widescreen Marathon 1 Classic HUD here.
v1.1: Fixed shield/oxygen bars being drawn a tiny bit too low
v1.0: Initial release
This is a basic fullscreen HUD for the original Classic Marathon. It also works with TROJAN. It is very minimalist, see the screenshots for details.
Software mode works but the square motion sensor will not be clipped out.
All three HUD sizes are supported, but the plugin will not cause the HUD to cover too much of weapons. Basically, Double doesn't work until 2k, and Largest isn't really useful until 4K.
To install, copy this into the Plugins directory in your Classic Marathon install.
