Re: Aleph One 1.3
Interesting, so when I changed the "Change the size of text, apps, and other items" from 150% to 100%, my highest resolution went from 1536x864 up to 1080p. That's weird that a game would operated on my Windows 10 font sizing, hmmm. But now I can't read anything, of course. :/ The problem ...

Re: Aleph One 1.3
There doesn't seem to be a 1080p option, hmmm. My graphics options will only go up to 1536x864 and when I try to force 1920x1080 in the preferences it defaults to 640x480. :/ I have a EVGA GTX 1060 SC 6GB and I'm playing on a Samsung 1080p 120Hz monitor. I tried it in 60Hz and there still wasn't a 1...

Re: Join the Marathon Evil Netgame Club
Uh oh! It would appear your discord link is broken!
No, it would be really cool to join some netgame groups, I just want to wait until Aleph One 1.3 comes out before I redownload all of the games again.

Re: xBR Textures
Why so many conversions? DDS should really only be necessary at the end for Aleph One. In Aorta, you can't use the export options menu for batch when in png mode, and the png output still has blue in the transparent pixels, but when I test the DDS output with the Fast Halo Removal on, the blue in t...

Re: xBR Textures
There's one major problem with trying to upscale the original assets: dithering. Either you're going to have to use a de-dithering program (which the results honestly don't look good from what I've seen) or carefully blend by hand. You're probably just better off editing the XBLA textures to look c...

xBR Textures
I've been going through my Marathon stuff and I've found my old batch image manipulation programs, namely the xBR-capable Hawkynt scaler. I ran some tests through with ShapeFusion bitmaps and I've decided that I can come up with a new workflow and make more xBR textures for Aleph One. My new workflo...

Re: Remastered Marathon Infinity sounds
Marathon 1 desperately needs to have remastered audio, but if I remember correctly, a lot of the sound effects for these games came off of Sample CDs. Would it be possible to identify these CDs, locate, and recreate these sounds? This is some great work though. Makes me think about Dolby NR and dbx ...

Re: Marathon 1 Redux
I wasn't aware of the quirk in Vasara, thanks for bringing this to my attention. I'll try to be more careful with textures going forward, making sure that scripted polygons function as intended. The Tycho texture was used because on my machine, the terminal wall was black. Vasara pulls straight from...

Re: Is there a way to play in a more vanilla (chocolate) way
You can just do what I did and have two builds for each main game with their own preferences.
I'm sure there's a more efficient way of doing this, but I can't be bothered.

Re: Weland Won't Open
I have found the solution. As previously stated by Flowers and Qweasy908, Weland likes a very specific version of GTK# which is version 2.12.20. However, that version is not available on mono's official archives as of now because 2.12.45 is the current version, I guess. So I did some googling and I ...

Hi, yes, it's been a while since I've been here.
