Re: My Old Marathon TC
Oddly enough there's no mention of this second unused Headless anywhere that I know of, Poisonous Headless maybe?

I honestly don't know. There's a Pathways Story Page, maybe you could ask on their forum.Gamenerd64 wrote:Oddly enough there's no mention of this second unused Headless anywhere that I know of, Poisonous Headless maybe?
As for the mod in this topic, it's quite neat. I don't care for the multiple triggers being separate weapons, or alt-fire reloading, but the levels still capture the Marathon feel rather well. One thing I really liked about this was that the level music starts playing with the chapter screens and their sound. Even though Marathon never did this, it sounded cool. I also like the representation of the Marathon Alpha weapons.
A couple links in case you pick this back up:
Marathon Story Page. You probably know, but just in case. :P
Marathon Alpha and Beta Shapes files. Some neat tidbits in here. (Ripped by Hopper, who also ripped those PiD shapes) Maybe you can have those retro levels after all. :)

Re: My Old Marathon TC
Wow thanks, now I can port the original textures over instead of the M1A1 remake textures.
EDIT: Also a little something to go with the PiD Shapes: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8146245/PiD%20Sounds.zip

Re: My Old Marathon TC
Is there information on the name and resource used by PiD's monster database? I don't even know their names.

Re: My Old Marathon TC
Ok, thanks. Is there a windows version of PiD scenario? I noticed that there is a lot of scenarios for Mac, but hardly for Windows.

Re: My Old Marathon TC
There is no windows version of PiD that I know of, the only way to play is on a Mac Emulator such as BasiliskII (which I used to play the game 
)

Offtopic:
Speaking of emulation, was anyone able to extract audio files from both RED and EVIL scenarios? I was not able to do this w/ ShapeFusion for some reason. If anyone can do this, please provide access to the resources. Credit will be provided to my custom marathon monsters project.

Re: My Old Marathon TC
Just thought you may want to know that the link is broken now...
EDIT: Any chance someone could continue this TC? I was creating a map pack similar, to, but not exactly the same as M1's levels, and would I be able to use your terminal conversations as a template for more?

Sorry about the link, it must've disappeared from my dropbox last time I did a little clean up. Try it again now.

Re: My Old Marathon TC
I am still new to the KSSC utility and the syntax used. But this will be the first issue I look into if I ever decide to revive this project. I know how much of a pain it is and I whole-heartedly regret making them like that.
