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:
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
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
This plugin is a port of the Durandal XBLA interface to Aleph One. Compatible with Marathon 2 and Infinity, and included in the all-in-one downloads of those games.
This version is distributed with Aleph One 1.8.1. Since the last S7 release, the following fixes were added:
I felt like google translating all the Bob and VacBob lines for fun and comedy, so i did it.
This has a sound file that has all of the Bobs and VacBobs lines google translated.
This was made for Infinity, but it does work in 2 as well.
note - only works in 16 bit sound mode (because i was to lazy to replace the 8 bit ones)
Voice actors
Soron - Bobs
Ssadke - VacBobs
Release
Perry Arena is my first map released to the public. It's packed full of carnage and uses the sewage texture set. M2 compatible. There are aliens and bobs for solo fun.
Changed some sounds and monster parameters to improve flow.
This physics package changes monster behavior so that many of the enemies will begin fighting each-other. Robotic characters (Drones, Juggernauts, and A-Bobs) will attack just about everything.
Added another version of the main physics file, called 'RAMBO'.
See the ReadMe file for more information.
