O Bungie, please make that new Marathon game rumored in 2012 or whenever it was.

Dan

Nice one.

Dan

Ah... So that's what it is

Thanks. I wasn't aware that there were modifications.

Dan

I understand the diff between Marathon and M1A1, but what is Marathon A1 interim?

Yeah, the humans used Jjaro tech, you can go to the Story forums to read all about it ;P

Dan

can anyone verify if this is indeed a problem? I tried it on a fresh OSX install. This is a problem still. If I load a multiplayer with the control + shift (command + option) level select with the default, included M1 Physics, it's fine. When I play actual multiplayer, it doesn't work. If it's the ...

UNKNOWN is for anything that can't be ID'd

Dan

I remember I had a problem like this. Honestly, I have no idea how I solved it. Did you check if port forwarding and all your other networking stuff is correctly set up? (Or is this a LAN game?)

Dan

Such progress. I love to see Aleph One can do all this. Looks just like Combat Evolved.
Also, I'd like to ask how you kept the dimensions of the map faithful to the original, if you did.

Dan

@Crater Creator: Thanks for the info.
@LegacyTyphoon: Yeah, Durandal is easier. And Infinity's timeline is... I'm not sure who enjoys it.
@treellama: Ah, I see now. Thanks.

Dan

Just curious, as I downloaded M1A1SE once, but never played it.
What was special about them? What was improved?

Dan

^ Yeah, just wondering.

(What I meant: Freeverse graphics are included in Durandal, but not Infinity. Why?)
(Yeah, I forgot to include the verb "include.")

Dan

The shield part never made sense to me, given how when compared to other, explicitly shielded characters in game (such as the S'pht'Kr) the player bled when hit. Since the Security Officer clearly appeared to be wearing body armor, I figured the health bar in game was actually the player's health. ...

Dan

(More theories about the shield system. I'm glad I wasn't the only one who felt weird about it.) Two more theories about the shields to add to this list: 1. The shields only reduce impact and damage and doesn't completely block out damage, akin to shock absorbers. 2. The red "shield" is an...

Dan

I <3 this

Does anyone know how to post a wide image like this so it's not arbitrarily cropped?

Uh, not at the moment, I can't remember. I think there was a scrollbar tag, but not sure.

Doomsday's awesome port, but I prefer zDoom or Zandronum for portable play and for many online games (AoW2 mod's crazy).

Dan

Ah ha. I found it. I did not connect a line to the sides of a polygon. Such a subtle error, always missing that.
Anyways, thanks for the info guys

Dan

Found the area which the bad polygon is in. Near the bottom teleport.

Dan

Looking back, this glitch happened after I finished the bottom half of the map.

Dan

Definitely not any zero-lengths or accidental 5D space; Sam redid the whole map for me just to see if the error would happen again.

Dan

@Crater_Creator: Yup, did that.
@treellama: Sorry, forgot 'bout that. v1.1 (January first public release?), line #1396

Dan

There is in the original Marathon engine, but Aleph One removes this, as do the new tools such as Weland. It used to be that you could make up to 1024 polygons, but I've already exceeded that with no problems. Marathon Aeon actually uses thousands upon thousands of polygons, thus why it may bog dow...

Were there really only 271 games in April? Clearly nothing is popular.

LAN games, bro ;P
