Need more Duct Tape... from Marathon: RED deserves an honorary mention for atmosphere. Not the best level by any means, but really atmospheric.

If by "game screen" you mean the hard-coded HUD elements or the title screen, you can use MML to change strings, colors, images and the buttons' collision rects. Anything else is probably Lua.

Is there an in-game map function?

Yeah, I'm playing 1.0.

Ok. Forget my previous statement, then.

I'd prefer every player to have the same armor.

Well, is it?

I don't think it's possible to have different sprites for different colored players, so I'd suggest you just refine the existing model before starting to make weapons.

I had a go at the Aeon demo that's currently on Simplici7y, so here's some comments. Your architecture's very detailed and interesting, which is nice, but that's offset by the fact that it's incredibly cramped (as Shadowbreaker mentioned). The inconsistent lighting and the structural eye candy also ...

Bigger chest, rounder head, thinner arms, more emphasized shoulder pads.

edit: please no boob jokes

Phoenix machine pistol.

Link?

Yeah, I get the Pfhorums vibe already.

@VikingBoyBilly: There was some drama involving me continuing one of Wrk's joke scenarios by myself, Wrk complaining and Ryoko landing a week-long ban on me, then when I returned it turns out Wrk did it for the lulz and there was a lot of flaming. If that helps.

Hey. It's chinkeeyong from 2008, if you remember me. Just trying to get back into A1 for the moment. I'm not sure about the current state of the mapmaking community, so it would be nice if someone could get me up to speed. Any promising new scenarios or utilities? How is Marathon: Fusion? Is this pl...

Lol @ WoW pic.

It looks kind of cool, but to tell the truth I really have no idea what that piece's supposed to be.

That looks seriously awesome, especially the reflections on his visor and the gun's design. The neck's muscle definition and the cloth creases are also boss.

new ER, be amazed. AMAZATION RESULTS. Seriously, that gun is awesome. I especially like the cold blue glow and the sweeping rounded look of the whole thing. Okay, I've been working on a new map (again), so here's a screenshot of it. Meh. This level wasn't really as striking as the previous one. It ...

To elaborate on $lave's explanations: Well, Aleph One's physics file determines things such as damage values, acceleration speeds, what colour tables, collections etc. from the shapes file monsters will use, how much ammo each weapon clip holds etc. Basically, everything other than the map and graph...

Projectiles cannot alter map geometry. Go in forge, and click where you have to insert the grenades. I'm 100% sure they'll be chip insertions. The level uses that funny exploding-pipe trick seen in one of the Bungie.net archive maps and one of the Rubicon levels. It's basically a huge invisible mon...

That's good to know for everyone involved and certainly narrows down the problem. This should be in the networking guide.

How do you look at the stars at night then? By backpedaling while looking at 30 degrees upwards. On topic, I think this is a pretty cool project. It would put all the fanboys' pandering for bump mapping and "true 3D rendering" at rest, at least. Also, it's great to see you posting more of...

Hi. Nice Abra avatar you have there.

The reason you can't get past here is because you're probably not using a script that makes grenades act as chips. So either find a chip or write a simple script which makes chip insertions accept grenades. The hell? In this level, you actually have to place grenades to blow parts of the level up. ...

Second row, third from the left. Runner up: last row, third from the left.

(...Are they the same person?)

I go on the internet to get away from this shit.
