Re: Marathon: Istoria - An Aleph One RPG Scenario

Thanks for making it so Minor ranked aliens appear in Total Carnage. The color variety makes the game more visually appealing, and I never liked that TC takes most of it away. Gets a little boring when every guy you fight is wearing purple. I'm having a few graphical issues when using the BRUTAL MAR...

Re: Apotheosis X – A total conversion for Marathon Infinity – Release thread

One of the prison cells around the periphery has an incorrect texture interior. Can confirm, it's right through the door in my screenshot above. The third cell down from there is non-solid (If there's a secret in there, I didn't find it yet). EDIT: This hex near the start of After the Flood is a su...

Found a sticky wall in the small passage on the right, here on All Things Uncertain. It happens when entering through either side. Also, enemy sprites were blinking around the area by that dead Enforcer.

Re: Apotheosis X – A total conversion for Marathon Infinity – Release thread

The rocket launcher is introduced in a level with numerous hunter packs seemingly to suggest that you should use the rocket launcher on them but frankly, dual-pistols are preferable up until you get the ESR Banshee which is by far my favorite weapon in any Marathon game ever. I was nearly out of pi...

Re: Apotheosis X – A total conversion for Marathon Infinity – Release thread

Hmm. What about the projectile speed? Also, it could be the angle of the pistols in hand versus the flight path of the projectile that's throwing me off. And now that I say that, I believe Eternal had this dilemma at some point, with projectiles originating from the center of the screen for both pis...

Re: Apotheosis X – A total conversion for Marathon Infinity – Release thread

Really cool so far! I love the Pfhor redesigns, especially the Hunters and the unique spark effects the stronger ones have. I think I'm still missing some weapons yet, but I feel like the pistols can be too inaccurate sometimes. Maybe it's to balance the fact that they're fusion damage, or to make t...

Re: Eternal X 1.2

The thin texture in the center of the screen is very bright, which seemed out of place to me. I figured it might have been overlooked, but I could be wrong. The directional lighting in that general area does seem to point in the same direction, but that one spot sticks out in the dark corner it's lo...

Re: Eternal X 1.2

What if the o2 guage was repurposed as a generalized life-support/power supply? Infra/Invis toggles would cost greater amounts of energy, and automatically deactivate at a certain threshold to prevent suffocation. It would also slowly recharge on its own outside liquids and vacuum, assuming that scr...

Re: Eternal X 1.2

Marathon doesn't like it when CLUT gradients don't line up with eachother, and the F'lick'ta CLUT was offset from the Hulk CLUTs by three colours. It reaaally doesn't. I wasn't 100% sure of the problem, but thankfully your posts above have confirmed that for me. It was very difficult getting the gr...

Re: Hound Redux

I may also make the sprites slightly smaller - as of right now, they're noticeably bigger than the sprites for the original Marathon, and the added detail may be more of a hindrance than a help. Agreed. I feel like the darkest brown shades could use some smoother blending (I'm using the Hunter as a...

Gray F'lickta (Stone F'lickta? Ancestral F'lickta?) is complete, after spending most of my time wrestling with Eternal's weird color table behavior. I couldn't get the Ghoul rock to look very good, so I ended up going with a recolored mud projectile after all. (I still think bones would have been co...

Re: Eternal X 1.2

The two gray F'lickta color tables have blue and brown blood, respectively. I suspect they were meant to fill the remaining two variants, but were not used in any of the later versions I remember. The blue and green tables are definitely based on M2/Infinity, also unused. I'm not sure why any of the...

Re: Eternal X 1.2

The MoAH thing might be different because Eternal uses M1 sprites for the Hunters. Do M1 Hunters perhaps attack from a different position than M2/∞ Hunters? If that’s the case then perhaps we ought to adjust the offsets. Had a quick look at the M2 MOAH, and they're the same. Oddly enough, the MOAC ...

Alright, I think I've solved the Enforcer bug. Sequence 8 ("flame stationary") had both a Loop Frame and a Key Frame assigned, but since the sequence only has one frame to begin with, they were referencing non-existent frames beyond, and it appears in-game to have defaulted to Frame 0 (whi...

Re: How do World Units compare to Doom engine sizes?

The square highlighted in your image is 64x64 map units. According to this Doom Wiki article, 32 map units could be interpreted as 1 meter. As the Forge manual states, 1 World Unit is roughly 2 meters. Over the years, there has been some debate over the accuracy of this. For simplicity's sake, I wou...

Re: Eternal X 1.2

Erich, what do you think of this idea ? Not too sure about that one. It's a lot of extra work just to rearrange the eyes. Some more unique sprites to help them really stand out would be better, I think. For example, if the cloth accents from the XBLA Fighters were ever added to the original sprites...
