I definitely remember playing Red on Aleph One, and Evil was certainly ported.

As a general rule, any map or total conversion made for Marathon 2 or Marathon Infinity will run on AlephOne with no modifications, though you may need an extra MML file to get correct inventory text strings.

I've run Eternal, RED, Evil, Rubicon and several others on A1 with no issues.

I'm still not sure how to run RED with Alephone. I understand the original trilogy perfectly, and I have all the running perfectly with all the reccomended plugins.

But the download source for RED, right here, when I tried earlier, came in as one single file.
While the original trilogy, and ETERNAL, was in an zipped format and once as a normal folder I just had to put the Alephone application in it.

So, I don't understand the single file (HTTP or FTP) thing. I r confused

I got it working when it used to be just a zip file. I don't know where I found it, but if you can't get it working, Skype me. I'll zip my Red up and send it to you through that. My Skype name is just MrM12LRV. Good luck!

Root Square 2.0 sure looks good with extracted Durandal textures and shaders.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

I extracted both the launcher and Marathon Durnadal.

But, I can't get it to run.

I downloaded some of the mods you recommended. I put the zip's of them into a new folder called Plugins inside of the M1A1 folder. The game runs fine and when I go to the environment settings it says that the plugins are enabled. However, when I play the textures and stuff are still the same as the original. Anything I am doing wrong?

I play paintball, airsoft, Halo: combat evolved (PC and Xbox), and Halo 2 (Xbox). I have beat Halo Combat Evolved, Halo 2, Halo Reach, and working on Halo 3.

I am a lifeguard at our local pool and an Rock Climbing Instructor.

I play Paintball (prefered speedball) and I am getting a team together to play PSP or NPPL.

And of course I love life :)

I love Marathon!!! I beat all three! Marathon, Marathon Durandal, and Marathon Infinity. and We all know that Sgt. Johnson is actually the Marathon man...

That's the old release of RED, packaged for use on a Mac running Marathon Infinity. See if this works.

What computer do you need in order to play this? Is this free? Thirdly, is this like Runescape where you can play with other people or is it a game where you play by yourself?

....

No. Marathon is absolutely nothing like runescape. Runescape is an mmorpg. Marathon is a first person shooter. You can play multiplayer games with friends. You can also play the solo game.

Ok, yeah I was wondering if it was for an original port rather than for A1.
Thank you my good sir!

"I liek Cake"

I'm a bit of a newbie, and I couldn't find a way to reply to this topic w/o quoting the poster above me. Anyways, I need help with installing a scenario. I have Aelph-One, and I want to play the Scenario Eternal (http://eternal.bungie.org/main.php]this in case you don't know what I mean), and every time I try to extract the data from the .zip folder, it says that I can't because there's already another file with that name, and by that, I'm guessing it's referring to this weird file that shares the same name as the folder. It's a "3 file", and I don't know what that means. It suggests renaming the file, but it doesn't let me. Can anyone help me with this? Thank you.
P.S.: I have Aelph-one for Windows, btw.

So, trouble with controls? Configure your own in the preferences.
I turned mine into the W,A,S,D keys. And I think by having "always run" on you don't really need to use Num lock?
I might be mistaken.

Thanks for the help. Just configured my own controls.. Made it much easier.

Do you like Yax? I do.

I just thought I'd let everyone know that AlephOne doesn't work with OS X Lion. I downloaded it today and AlephOne won't respond.

Edit: I finally got around to partitioning my hard drive. AlephOne won't work with Lion, so now I just run Snow Leopard also. I typed out a quick explanation of how to run AlephOne if your OS is Lion.

You need to partition your hard drive and have both Snow Leopard and Lion on your Mac. This should help you partition you hard drive. Once you have everything done you can switch between Snow Leopard and Lion. When you're using Snow Leopard, use this tutorial and get Marathon.

recently i was searching for mods for marathon, and i came across a survival mode mod, survival.lua. i downloaded the file after getting marathon from this site. im lost as to where i am supposed to extract the file to use it.

  • 07.30.2011 10:32 AM PDT

Thanks for bringing this up. I finally got it working and shall begin enjoying it once I get these blasted controls figured out.

Life is like a clogged toilet. It's full of crap until you do something about it.

I found a secret Save terminal on Pfhoraphobia that wasn't in the MSG. At the start, turn around and start poking around at the wall, and it should bring up the save prompt.

That terminal was never in the original game. It was added later for M1A1 because there were no saves on that level. I suppose people thought it was too hard without a save, but if you want to be a true vidboi, I wouldn't be using that one. ;)
