Well the difference between his suit and the vacbobs is that his emits a personal shield to protect himself, while the bobs' armor is just thick metal. The shield over his whole body could have something to do with its vacuum capabilities; it could also explain how the marine can swim in lava withou...

Wow, 16-bit color. I thought that was fixed, but I guess not. If you delete your prefs, you'll get much nicer graphics. As far as explosions clipping, are you using OpenGL (Classic)? I don't think much has changed there. Yeah I'm using classic, and I've tried the other Rendering System options but ...

I don't know if anyone else of having this problem with the new versions of the trilogy games, but when a projectile hits a wall, the frame for the impact seems to be cut in half. [attachment=5299:Picture_3.png] This only happens with the new scenarios of the trilogy games, and when I use the origin...

No, Claude stopped working on it a while ago.
If you're interested, the last I remember hearing about its status is here- http://forums.bungie.org/story/?noframes;read=56091

It turns out I was downloading the wrong version.
I got the beta working fine now, and I'll try and bring up any bugs I find.

How do you toggle the option for making the map transparent? I've looked through the preferences and have been unable to find no such option. Is there something rather obvious that I'm missing?

Welcome to the Pfhorums. You may also be interested in visiting the Marathon Story Forum, which is currently getting a lot of activity. (http://forums.bungie.org/story)

So where in the Marathon timeline are we at by now? We're probably getting close to the point where the Pfhor start using Simulacrums.

Actually sixteen years since M1. (December 21, 1994.)

And happy 2011 everyone

Here's my favorite levels out of the Marathons I've played (Trilogy, Rubicon, Eternal, Red and Squadron), although I'm not really sure which one I would declare "best of all time": Marathon 2 -Come and Take Your Medicine?I haven't heard a lot on people's opinion on this map, which is proba...

Harley downed the pills as soon as Summer gave them to him. "Let me see your arm," Summer instructed. Harley pulled away the shreds of his sleeve from his wounded shoulder, and heard Summer comment, "Oh, I guess he started in on you after all. Good on him." Knowing she was referr...

Harley was thrown out of the daydream he was having when he saw that Summer and Gerald were chasing an alien out of the med bay?the same one they were keeping captive. Jumping to alertness, Harley readied his rifle, which he left laying beside him, as he quickly felt for the trigger? "Don't sho...

I just tried to get the scene going before I went to School today, since everyone was waiting on me to do something with the wasps outside. I probably should have put some more effort into it, though. :/

As the newcomers stumbled into the room, Harley kept watching the hallway through the space in their barricade. Knelt down behind a flipped-over table, Harley kept his hands over both triggers of his Assault Rifle with its Shotgun attachment. As he waited for what felt like hours, for a minute wonde...

According to the Story Page timeline:

2794- Marathon attacked

Harley Daniels is BoB in his mid-thirties, who's 5'8 tall, and has a rather slim and scrawny build, making him the least athletically capable of the group (yet so far he's one of the characters who still hasn't suffered from extreme exhaustion yet). He has pale skin and dark hair, and has the regul...

"Harley? Was the flyer small enough to fit through the hole in the barricade?" Harley heard Simon ask him. "If so, we're gonna have to make it smaller." Eyeing the empty space that existed within the pile of cabinets and other items that they used for a makeshift barricade, Harle...

"Well?" Summer asked Harley expectantly. Remembering what he had come back for Harley quickly said, "There was something back there... It was smaller than the other aliens, and it had wings. It spit out?" Harley paused to glance down at his wounded shoulder, seeing that the skin ...

"THE ALIEN!" Summer had blurted out, as soon as Harley finished had shouted at her to wake up. Perplexed, he looked over at the still-unconscious alien. Wondering how Summer darted forward in her seat so unexpectedly?considering she appeared to be sound sleep just seconds before?Harley dec...

Harley arrived back at the med bay entrance, completely exhausted, and shouted, "Everyone, there's something coming!" He surveyed the scene, and saw that Summer was limp on a couch while Gerald appeared to be dozing off as well.
"Wake up!" he barked, running into the room.

Harley paced briskly down the hallway, searching for the Assault Rifle he had left out there minutes before. Spotting the crate he had left it leaning against, he quickly scanned around the sides of the crate, and found it on the far side of it. Gathering the weapon, feeling relieved, Harley slung i...

Well I just got the music files working properly.
Thanks for the help?both of you.

I have recently been attempting to insert music files into the Marathon 2 maps on Aleph One. However, I have so far been unsuccessful, partly due to the fact that I have very little prior experience with MML coding. But since the solution is likely quite simple?and I have already spent quite some ti...

"And this one's missing an ear," Gerald said, nodding to Harley. Remembering his wound, Harley felt for his damaged ear, its soaked bandage almost coming off. "The rest of us are good enough, I guess," Gerald added. Harley turned back to Gerald and said "But Summer also has ...

"What are you doing in my Med Bay?" Harley heard a man ask from the Med Bay entrance. Stepping forward, and keeping on hand close to his Magnum sidearm, he said to the shady man, "We have a few injuries?we came here in hopes of finding some medical supplies or something that might hel...
