Hello... I was wondering if there was a way to modify the Aleph One engine to display Marathon Infinity in 1280 x 405 256:81. This aspect ratio will allow the fov to be increased without the illusive speed increase, while also fitting the width of my VGA Monitor. Not only do I want 1280 x 405, but I...

Untested pseudocode to get you started: Triggers.monster_killed() local leak = true for m in monsters() do if(m.class == "bob") then leak = false end end if(leak) then Tags[0].active end end Where the liquid is tied to tag 0. That's how I'd approach it. So if I insert this into the game w...

Does the online work for 1.1 now?

It sure is. You will have to count the number of monsters on the level, and also account for the player being a monster. That's simple enough. Monsters() iterates through all the monsters, so I'd start there. If you would like a smooth water rise without using a scripting loop I would imagine it mi...

With a combination of map triggers and lua scripting, is it possible for me to trigger a liquid rise in the level when the player kills all of the enemies?
If so, how does one make water rise? It's very strange how the whole system is set up.
What do the tide levels and the parameters do?

For my new scenario, I've decided that I wouldn't improvise on the story and so now things will actually fall in place. I've written a rough draft of the overall scenario story. As always, SPOILER ALERT! 2810, UESC Gotengo en route to Lh'owon from Tau Ceti, Ship AI Diamonte responds to Pfhor Invasio...

This is bull****. Whenever I am in Visual Mode trying to texture my maps, I press the Left Shift key to enable the Auto Map/Overlay . When you are in the Overlay/Auto Map, you have access to change texture effects , texture flags , texture opacity and texture snapping . But for some reason, whenever...

Are you thinking solo or multiplayer maps? I'm working on a solo scenario with ideas from my KILLMOO project. Tester friendly? Well, first off, you know those textures normally used for doors? Ditch that, and make your doors use the same textures as the surrounding walls, with no difference in ligh...

There is nothing the haters and the trolls can do to stop me.
All I ask for is support and advice that will steer me into a tester-friendly developer.
Any thoughts?

I'd still like to know who's been hired to take out the "three" of us prior to the event.

Wanna hear a classic? Your mom!

Because on December 21st, 2013, it will be the 19th anniversary of Marathon. Dude, you're the moderator, you should be all over this before anyone... I think what he meant was that 'M1A1' usually refers to the versions before the recent betas; you know, back when the game didn't use the original Ma...

Nobody asked what you thought.

I am stuck on a pseudo 3d script for Marathon because it keeps saying that I'm comparing Boolean to a value. I'm not going to allow you to download my log to tell me what everything is, But I will allow to you to download the script. "Why, what are these delicious pfhoods you speak opfh?" ...

Every time I press the Auto Map key for the overhead map it closes the game window. I am lead to believe that it has something to do with my Preferences, due to that I have tried different variables with the Auto Map key. If anyone sees something that I don't, please let me know.

It has a break barrel reloading system and a skeleton frame stock.

I can't do crap for hands. I want to make 3D models so I can make Weapons in Hand sprites. So far I have a component polished and a blank mind. Here is what it looks like... sort of: Trigger Hand() Component.jpg The component you are currently looking at is a Trigger Hand. Since I would be contradic...

I would like to congrats you on completing this project. I respect version 1.22 very much. However, I have a complaint, and I haven't even play-tested it yet.
