What you see here, is what I have done (well not all of it) but, you get the general idea. Im gonna post of pictures of it each time I make something worthy of recognition.

I didn't have enough time to make another picture without switch's message in it. I gotta jet...

Why is there a Marathon symbol on those doors?

Your are on a UESC ship, specially designed for an exhibition to a "New" pfhor world. In this level, you have just landed and the object is to allow the battlefront in so the human forces can kill them.

Long story.

Those textures were done by visciom, unfortunately they only accomidate so many slots. I havent even mmled all them in yet.

Interesting...my original post was deleted.

I still think your first post is a bit conceited (arrogant...whatever...), but nice work! Keep it up!

I don't see how his first post was conceited. It seems perfectly resonable too me. Btw, kickass screenshots!

Maybe I'm just reading into it too far...

Ya. He's just saying that he won't post the crap...seemed obvious to me. Then again, I can see how it would be misunderstood.

SB, I didnt have time to tell you this because you left iChat too soon

I have some good news and some equally bad news

I have 12 or so really good maps that I created while you were gone
but I kept them on a flash drive that i have lost


Ill try and find it

(has anyone noticed that I seem to lose everything marathon related?)

I take it that your on the shadow team?

Tofu,
Eltwixxo,
Ham,
Blasty,
Visciom,
Me,
Alexander Smith

Are definately on the team.

Shong once made me weapons that I didnt use,
Chausara wanted to help me but never responded after a while
A girl called hannah said she could photoshop for me but her stuff aint that good and I havent seen the final product yet.

A few various others aswell.



The real news here is that my old computer is taking another break. (You had 8 bloody months off!!!) So it wont turn on. But it has done this before. And itll resume its consciences later. I could map on this computer, which has all the eye candy on it, but it just doesnt feel the same.

Ok then. BTW, it looks like your email got blocked by my router, not even my email program, which means that I'm not competent enough to retrieve it. Try sending a different email, without punctuation, numbers, or symbols in the subject. Also, write a resonably lengthy message, or use this as filler. Obviously, don't say 'stock' 'bank' or 'viagra'

Ok, when shadow was started, I did the physics on an m2 model. Which was a huge mistake. If anyone wants to copy every value out of the current phyiscs model, I'll send you it, and put you under special thanks.

actually that isnt necessary, sbreaker. in anvil you can copy and paste whole entries by selecting them on the list and then inserting 'em in an infinity physics model. so it'll just take 10-30 minutes

Can't infinity handle the exact same M2 files?

in theory yes,

its M1 you have to be carefull about, and even so, its not that hard to transfer to the newer marathon engine (anvil still reads m1)

shongshong,

could you elaborate on the part with Anvil being able to read Marathon 1 files, cause i'm sure it isnt at all possible. Also i think there's a passage about it in the manual, saying that they cut this feauture due to limited time being available back then.

oh wait.... my bad, I must of been thinking of marathon aleph one! ok ok, never mind,
no, its not possible for origional m1 to anvil

If you look around, you can find various PM editors that were created for M1.

Ok dudes, I havent got anythin to show right now, but I need some stuff.


Primarily, I need mappers,. Homocidal Ham may be just made of maps, but the more mappers we get the better the scenario is, because you can always tell if one person made a certain amount of maps.


Second, we need a guy to do monster sprites. I need a big layout of new monsters.

I just got a new photoshopper, Luzon, who is making me textures. He says hes paid to photoshop, so if you liked the second picture you'll like the rest.

I can draw, but you'd have to wait till' mid-august for me to get anything done (still don't have my computer...)...
What?! I'm offering help to Shadowbra?!!!! What am I thinking?!!!
I'm bored and I need something to do!!!
Just send me some info on what you want your monster to look like and I can help a little...

reporting for duty, if u still need my email either use MarathonUESC@mac.com or Rocketeer2@mac.com, SM is going underground and will probably be started completly anew (lack of work and forgot what i was working on) i have those maps i was going to use for SM that we can use for shadow... just drop me a line....

I bet you folks thought I was doing nothing in the hiatus of the pfhorums. GUESS AGAIN!

Well actually I didnt "do" most of the stuff, other did it for me but I directed and perfected most of it... here it is.


Firstly:


(the flare and hand were there, but I forgot to show their layers in photoshop when I copied it.)

Secondly:



Thirdly: I finally found a monster artist. Unfortunately, he can't read my mind so we do some sort of game where he shows me the monster, and I say how to change it. Right now we are working on a very essential monster known as the "Militia". Ill post it up when its done.

Fourthly: No word from Luzon.

Fifthly: Instead of fucking around the old physics file, Ive just decided to scrap it.

Sixthly: This aint all folks, there is lots of new stuff almost done or done but I aint showin it right here. Stuff like terminal art and maps and screenshots and so forth. I have only got water set textures, and only 1 water set map worth showing (the first one), Ill get some screens with them later. Ive also got the rocket launcher to show, but its in psd which takes too long to load on short notice.

Shadow, shadow,
hes our man,
if he can't do it....uh....um....
RYOKO CAN!!! YAY!!! WHOO!


*kidtofu loves being the #1 Marathon shadow fangirl*

uh,,,,,,, ok ?

Wow, those are some very nice looking weapons. Great job to whoever made those.

Shiny enough....

*Assassingao drools...*


Can't...wait...

Actually does look pretty cool (See, see, even I can be nice to Shadow sometimes...)! Props to the person who did your weapon models.
*rolls eyes*
And props to you for "perfecting" their work...(Okay...I was nice in the beginning...gimme a break here...)

Seriously, keep pumping out those previews man!

untill i get my laptop back there wont be any music production, ill post when i get it back

The output from Luzon: Luzon lives a busy life. He still will make me textures, but he isnt moving that fast.


I need another artist.


The output from Visciom: Visciom says he'll make me a site "for practice".

The output from me: maps, my abilities to make sp maps have dramatically improved over those 8 months. You'd be really bored if I showed you draw mode shots of them, so we will just have to wait for some textures.

The output from MacUser: Almost finished with the Militia Sprite (modelwise) With this monster done, the advocate and the shadowlord will be much easier to make.

We've hit cyberspace! Finally I've got a site for Marathon Shadow I can bear to look at.

Marathon Shadow

It is hosted by Luzon on his company's (well urr... yeah) site www.takingthehillproductions.com. Don't worry, visciom says he can shorten the url a bit (visciom made the site)

gorgeous, congrats to visciom!

Hello.. I decided use my actual name now (I am LuZon) seeing as my other account is gone..


I love the weapons so far, they are very pretty ^.^

Looks quite good. Hope it comes out well.

the site needs some info though..

weapons look so cool that i cannot wait to use 'em

so far nice artwork

and finally, well, to be honest, the images of the guns in the HUD needs some polish, but that's just me

Looks intersting, but the HUD icon of the gun betternot look like that when its finished, its not even the right colour :)

Im starting to make sound effects (gun shots, ambiant stuff, ect.)

make 'em real! :D

(as real as possible)

some of my texture work for this scenario, shadow youve already seen these:

So this thread doesnt die. BTW Marathon Squadron's thread died.

well, that's a really great system. Thanks, ryoko

You seem really disenchanted with my administration. You know, nobody's making you come to the Pfhorums. But I'd appreciate it if you untangled your panties. The Squadron topic had no updates in months. Months! If shong really missed the topic, I'd assume he'd actually, you know, say something. And then I could just restore the topic. But he hasn't, so I'm just going to write this off as whining. Again.

As I already stated in a different topic the deletion of 70% of projects and maps bothered me. If you feel that that is your whole administration work, then that might be your prob.
This wasn't about shongshong's squadron btw, but about ppl feeling the need to update their topics with non relevant posts because they feel that otherwise their thread will disappear thanks to you.
Also I would appreciate if you would stick talking about your own panties. Male underwear is called shorts/briefs, by the way...but I guess you wouldn't know about that.

Team Shadow: good luck on your scenario, heh

You aren't a native English-speaker, right? So I'll let that one go, but the panties thing is a figure of speech.

Dead topics about projects should disappear. Their continued existence is misleading. Squadron could have flatlined, because the topic was never updated. There are other sources that users should be using for scenario news, if all they want is a link to the homepage anyway -- for example, the Scenario News website. Shong is very much welcome (and I encourage it anyway!) to make new topics about important updates in the Squadron process, as are Shadow and the rest of the crew.

That said, once again I'm going to have to urge you to drop the issue, unless you want to PM me if you really think you need to continue bothering me over something that's dead and done. Don't continue this in this topic or on the Projects board, or else the posts will be deleted.

i think the advance of marathon shadow is good and imgs and guns and stuff, bling bling :P but u have to change "Shir'Nor" it's... um... well, u got the idea

There is no "shir'nor", you are referring to "Ghor'shir". I chose that name years ago. Its part of marathon shadow. And hes in my avatar.

i agree with Ryoko, dead topics should be deleted. keeping things tidy is good hygiene for a fourm. if its too cluttered it just gets nasty

so shadow that guy that is exploding is called shir'nor, where did you come up with that name? and does it mean anything in paticular?

yah, ive alwayse wanted to ask about your moving avatar for the longest time... mainly because I have no idea whats going on in the picture,

its a walking monster thing, that is smashing material similar to its self?

Its General Ghor'shir playing my concept of "rough" football. Hes smashing into other player, and the green ball hes holding is the ball.

Sorry to overshadow goran, but I wanted to show this this month. Behold:


Dark Figures

Damn Enforcer

Dem troopers teh pwned

Ok dont bother telling me how many errors there are in these screenshots. I'm just giving you folks an idea of how the guns and textures actually look. The other guns were acting shit to me, so the pistol and the fists are the only guns that work. And the fists atm look as low res as ever.

Next time I'll put up the assult rifle, and pictures of chapter 2, when the game introduces its very own monsters.
