Sick of mappers that carefully select textures to go with their useless maps? Tired of playing boring old maps that look the same every time you play?

Now there's a Lua script to randomly generate new textures each time you play!

It may even be slightly less terrible than you're thinking.

Navigate the path without stepping off, nor letting your crosshair fall upon the many enemies about the room. The result of which would be unspeakable.

Turn on auto-center camera and turn off the overhead map display for a greater challenge. Difficult but beatable.

A provided lua script also allows crushing enemies with your mind if you are into simple pleasures like that.

Notes for version 1.00001:

Added a film showing a completed run.

This script adds a new network survival gametype that Marathon: the ghost hunt.

As an UESC Space Marine, you are sent to seek and kill an invisible and dangerous ghost escaped from the depth of Lh'owon. It is very quick and can jump from wall to wall and, worst of all, you are nearly out of ammo!

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.

Notes for version 2.611:

v2.611 - just a re-zip since the plugin wasn't in a folder, sorry

v2.610 - Added 16:10 version for Steam Deck and Mac players. Updated to newer Default M1 HUD script.

v2.19 - Added 21:9 Ultrawide support

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.

Notes for version 1.1:

• Redesigned boss fight.
• New spells sounds to replace some of the weaker sounds from the previous version.
• New spherical mapped landscapes are available.
• Spells can now be accessed using a hotkey while holding down the aux trigger.
• MOAHs can fit in smaller spaces and are a new color.
• The game will automatically be saved upon completion, so you can easily reload to see your score.
• Uses class activations instead of body dialogue in score calculation.
• Black holes will no longer throw dead bodies around, which was especially dangerous for MOAHs. Terminals should display correctly in unusual aspect ratios.
• Various bug fixes and typo corrections.
• Overhead map filtering performance optimizations.
• Option to replace included soundtrack files with high-quality Bandcamp versions.
• Minor probability tweaks for "roaming" soundtrack event.
• Survival levels now let you choose Random for your class, and the game will choose for you.

NOW UPDATED TO SUPPORT MARATHON 1 AND MOST CUSTOM SCENARIOS!

This plugin allows you to experience Marathon 2's original 1995 classic status bar HUD, but modified to better support today's widescreen displays. This plugin supports Marathon 2, Marathon Infinity, and many scenarios, and even provides an M2-like HUD for Marathon 1.

This widescreen HUD has 2 flavors, a 'lite' version and an 'enhanced' version:

CLASSIC M2 (UNRESTRICTED VIEW): The original HUD, uses original graphics, but removes the letterboxing on the 3D game view, allowing any widescreen aspect ratio, should be compatible with all scenarios

CLASSIC M2 (WIDESCREEN ENHANCED): Extends the status bar graphics to fill a 16:9 screen. To utilize the extra space, a second inventory page is displayed. In Netgames, this second page shows the scoreboard.

Due to the necessity of custom graphics, "Widescreen Enhanced" HUD is only guaranteed to work with the following scenarios:

• Marathon 1, Marathon 2, and Marathon Infinity
• Any scenarios which use the default M2/MI HUD graphics, such as: Tempus Irae, Phoenix, EVIL, and many more
• The following scenarios with custom HUD graphics: Apotheosis, Apotheosis X, Excalibur: Morgana's Revenge, Marathon Squadron, Portal of Sigma, RED, Return To Marathon, Rubicon/Rubicon X, Trojan

See included Readme for installation instructions.

All Lua work is based on "M2 Default HUD" posted here by Hopper, as well as the scenarios' original art, with additions by me to support the enhanced widescreen features.

Widescreen Marathon 1 Classic HUD is available here

Notes for version 2.03:

v2.03: fix errors with Linux version of Aleph One

v2.02: code tweaks to prevent redundant background fills; no visual changes

v2.01: fix terminals at 'Largest' setting scaling improperly at very low game resolutions

v2.0: add marathon 1 and trojan huds, and code cleanup

v1.9: add scenarios support, resize HUD to be a perfect 2x scale at 1080p, add lite version

Lua gametype where the faster you're moving when killing someone, the more points you are awarded.

For example, if you kill someone while standing completely still, you get one point. If kill someone while running, you get more points. If you kill someone while running and falling, you get significantly more points. If you launch yourself with a rocket and kill someone while flying through the air, you get even more points.

This is an attempt to mimic the gameplay of the old Joust arcade game. Players fly around maps and collide with each other to score kills. More detailed instructions await you in the README.

Notes for version 5.0:

This is the fifth attempt at a total Joust rewrite. Compatible with the latest version of Aleph One. Can be played on the EMFH, KOTH, and KTMWTB gametypes.

ULTRA HD Weapons for Marathon Infinity. These ULTRA HD Weapons are based off the original HD versions by Freeverse.

The original HD versions were further enhanced 4 times the originals. These ULTRA HD versions have correct color preservation & have been reformatted after enhancement to be compatible with Aleph One.

INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS: To install, follow the instructions found in the "ReadMe" file located in the "ULTRA_HD_Weapons_M3" folder.

IMPORTANT: This Plugin is not backwards compatible with Marathon 2: Durandal. Only use with Marathon Infinity running latest Aleph One build. Should work with older Aleph One builds, but has not been tested.

COMPATIBILITY: This Plugin is fully compatible with main scenario (M3) & any custom maps/scenarios that do not feature custom weapon textures.

For a Marathon 2: Durandal compatible version of this ULTRA HD Plugin please use this link here: https://simplici7y.com/items/ultra-hd-weapons-m2/

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.

Notes for version 1.2:

Fixes errors in net games with a kill limit or time-based scoring.

A work-in-progress update of Hopper & Ares Ex Machina’s texturing plugin Vasara (which itself is based on treellama & Jon Irons’ Visual Mode.lua), with several new features:

• Support for Aleph One 1.7’s new 2x, 4x, and reverse slide transfer modes
• Vastly more control over texture alignment, including:
  • Options to decouple X and Y snaps
  • Options to align textures to the center, right, bottom, north, west, south, or east
  • 19 more grid sizes.
• A “decouple transparent sides” option that allows you to apply different textures, alignments, and lights to each transparent side of a line.
• Options to apply only the texture or only the transfer mode rather than both.
• A toggle for the “realign textures when retexturing” option.
• Overlays that show what you’re looking at (useful if you want to use Lua scripts on part of the level).

It also fixes several bugs, including:

• The Lua error spam that happened whenever you had “apply texture” and “apply light” selected with a light value above 55.
• “Must Be Explored” polygons being reset to “Normal”.
• “Align adjacent” failing to work with many textures placed on empty lines. (Some transparent textures still won’t align properly; “decouple transparent sides” may mitigate this issue somewhat.)

To install:

• Visit the GitHub site.
• Click “Code”.
• Click “Download ZIP”.
• Save to the “Plugins” directory for the scenario you want to use it with. If one doesn’t exist, make one. Mac users may need to make one here instead: https://github.com/Aleph-One-Marathon/alephone/wiki/File-Locations#mac-os-x-1
• Set it up in Weland. Windows and Mac users can refer to https://aaronfreed.github.io/mapmaking101.html#welandsetup if this proves challenging. (One of these days I’ll write a guide for Linux.)

This remains a work in progress, and updates may be slow, as Vasara’s code is sparsely documented and frequently quite dense, but I intend to continue working on it. I welcome constructive suggestions (best delivered through GitHub or Discord) and will attempt to implement them as time permits.

Enjoy!

Requires Aleph One >= v1.4.1.

I was working in the lab, late one night

When my eyes beheld an eerie sight

For my monster from his slab, began to rise

And suddenly to my surprise

(He did the mash) he did the monster mash

(The monster mash) it was a graveyard smash

(He did the mash) it caught on in a flash

(He did the mash) he did the monster mash

Finally, a plugin that ruins mararthon.

This is a plugin for any marathon scenario that will act kind of like GPS navigation when activated. It can show just about any worthwhile objective on the map, and in most cases lead you directly to them.

This is a huge cheat, so it's not really recommended if you want the "true" marathon experience. It's for people that either don't have the patience to navigate through mazes themselves, or for people that just want to make sure they found everything on a given level. It can be very useful for tracking down all secrets.

Notes for version 1.1:

• Added ability to permanently ignore certain items and monsters
• Handle jumping gaps better in some limited cases

NOTE: Simplici7y will not let me upload anything to the old entry, so this is a reupload.

Eupfhoria is a fully re-instrumented and re-scored soundtrack mod for the first Marathon. This replacement tries to remaster the original soundtrack while retaining the original feel. It IS the tracks you know and love, as it's based off the original MIDI files. Most tracks should fuller and more atmospheric, hopefully a bit like Marathon's younger brother, Halo.

To see if this is for you without downloading, you can stream it all here: Eupfhoria - Full Album Stream

Install like any other plugin, the old versions had you manually replace the stock music but this is no longer required. Run like any other plugin.

NOTE: Don't use this for your first playthrough. Really. This is for people who've played through it before and want a new experience. Updating those pesky textures is one thing, but save this for your second playthrough.

This is a slightly modified version of Hopper's M2 Default HUD. It moves the HUD to the lower left corner of the screen and allows for fullscreen mode without any black bar. This works for any non-M1 scenario.

Thanks to wrkncacnter for the additional scripting.

Notes for version 1.1:

Fixed margins so the lua console can be viewed. Thanks to Terin in the Marathon Discord for fixing this!

Single Player Network Game is a set of Lua, physics, and shapes to simulate a network game using bots. The lua script automatically populates maps with the bot monsters, and the shapes and physics make them look and act like players in a multiplayer game. Note that this only works on netmaps that don't have embedded physics (this is the vast majority of netmaps). There are many configurable settings you can tweak to get just the multiplayer experience you're looking for.

This project is based on RadBurn's Marathon Conflict mod, and wouldn't exist without the work he put in to create the shapes and the original set of physics. I've included the unmodified Conflict shapes in this download to simplify the setup process, but RadBurn did all of the work for that. I have tweaked the physics a bit from the original conflict physics, mostly to make the bots act more like real players in a network game.

If you're just wanting to be able to revive in a single player game without reloading the map/saved game, then there's also a script for that that doesn't have any of the bot stuff.

Adminn said he'd make this script, but it's been literally forever and he hasn't done it.

(Requires Alephone v1.4)

Notes for version 1.5:

Slight physics modifications. Addition of BRUTAL option for more gore.

Dumb scripts for making projectiles hitscan (meaning they travel instantaneously).

• hitscan.lua - Fast moving projectiles are hitscan instead of moving at 1 WU/sec.
• hitscan_all.lua - All projectiles, including flamethrower, fists, and monster projectiles have unlimited range and are hitscan.
