Jet Li/In the Walls

An experiment, more than anything. The map is really just there to show off the physics model. Walkfing's faster, running messes with gravity... pistols shoot rockets (although they still do bullet damage-big difference is if you shoot a close wall, you can die, unlike your standard pistols). If you're interested in making an urban combat map, and don't feel like starting from scratch, this might be a help.

Fumbling Towards Ecstasy v1.0.1

A double-level oval, with a few nooks and crannies, and a large open sewage pool in the center. Quite open, yet lots of cover. Larger groups might find it tight, but less than five should have room to breathe. Nice lighting, good weapons placement (though a little tight on ammo)... a worthwhile download. Update adds a second level that allows more reasonable KTMWTB play.

Burning Clutch v1.0

My goodness. 8 rooms, 8 layers. 328 polygons of goodness. You could probably come up with a more convoluted use for 5D space... but it would involve small dark men in overcoats, and octopi.

Evil-Empty Faces 0.65

A very large, multilevel netmap. It's actually quite playable solo, due to the huge numbers of Devlins and drones... if baddies are turned on for a netgame, hill games become insane.

Mars Needs Carnage v1.0

Amazing. 4 and a half years after the release of the original Marathon, maps are still being made for that engine. This is a small map that crosses parts of Mars Needs Women and Carnage Palace Deeluxe. Flow is quite good, and the map is familiar enough (yet different) to those who played Marathon in the early days that getting around is second nature. Definitely worth a look!

Sincerely Me

A small net map, originally created for the Simplici7y contest (and so containing only 7 polys). Play is fast and furious, made moreso by two turret guns whcih cover roughly 65% of the small area. Included are two films, showing the level off. Amazing what you can do with 7 polys.

Warm and TOZT

A large, square arena with a bridgelike structure in the center (over a lava pool). Most action takes place on the ledge around the outside, or down on the floor. Elevators are nice and fast... mix of open and closed spaces. Archive size is due to a number of screenshots. Map is unmerged, on purpose.

Arthur!

A very impressive 2-level solo map. This one won first place in the EMR Map Contest, in January 2000. Puzzles are about as difficult as you can make them without going overboard... the little touches are brilliant. Non-player characters, cool natural architecture, a sense of humor... continuity between levels... this is a great map. If it gets too difficult, a walkthrough is available.

Don't Crush That Dwarf!

Star Trek meets Excalibur. Definitely an adrenaline rush, but the layout is such that you'll find yourself running back to the recharger far too often... which breaks up the flow. A great level for learning to dodge.

Dream State

A two-level map (well, one plus a welcome level) adapted from a released Pfh'Joueur level. Sound use is great, and gameplay is fun... but architecture causes some 'run-through-here-again-and-again' areas, and the storyline is almost non-existent. A fun map, but with a few flaws.

EMR Anvil

Resedit file containing the resources needed to edit Shapes files from the Excalibur: Morgana's Revenge scenario.

EMR Forge

An updater that will update your Forge application to work with maps made for Excalibur: Morgana's Revenge. Not only does it make editing maps much easier, it saves maps with the EMR creator code.

EMR Fux

Bo Lindbergh's Fux!, modified to work more easily with Excalibur maps. Strings have all been changed to correspond to the EMR equivalents.

EMR Shapes Juggler 1.3

Charles Lechasseur's Shapes Juggler 1.3, modified to use names from Excalibur: Morgana's Revenge. Greatly simplifies Shapes editing for EMR maps.

EMR Sound Editor v1.0b4

Charles Lechasseur's Sound Editor (v1.0b4), modified to use names from Excalibur: Morgana's Revenge. Greatly simplifies Sound editing for EMR maps.

I Sit On Acid

A single-level solo map in which your main goal is to get out alive. Watch the traps.

Maelburg

A single-level solo scenario. (Designed as a 2-level project, the second level never got finished... but the map still won third place in the EMR mapmaking contest.) Lots of tricky areas, make sure you save when you can. Takes good advantage of the EMR textures and monsters... will keep your blood flowing!

Traveller

An extremely engrossing single-level solo romp with an amazing attention to detail. Everything, from the cool physics tweaks, to one of the best ship incarnations to date, spells quality. Fantastic.

Wizard

A very enjoyable 3-level map. Nice construction (although a map this polished could do with a bit more eye candy), good layout, interesting story (although it falls apart a bit at the end). A definite player. This map took Second Place in the EMR mapmaking contest.

Zombies

An overhaul of one of the solo levels from Excalibur: Morgana's Revenge, reworked to be playable by itself. If you find yourself fighting without any weapons, you probably went the wrong way at the start. Look around, there's a lot here! Very enjoyable single-level map.
