Marathon Music Exploder

A tiny program that's been around forever... just lost from this server. It will take a Marathon 1 Music file and split it into individual tracks, saved as quicktime movies.

Piltdown Network Packet 1

A 5 map collection (well, 6, but one is not accessible, either in network or solo mode, and crashes Forge pretty hard). Mostly small, with pretty plain lighting/sounds Nice for pairs (except for Trax Re, which can fit more).

Tunnel Hunt Pack

A large, concentrically built map, with rings of passageways around a central force-fielded square. Comes in two flavors, with the second map being an expanded version of the first. Nice construction, and good flow all around...

Obituary (Evil) v1.1

A nice arena with a raised hill, and side passages for added flow. Death rates get quite high when players can shoot across altitudes...

Obituary (ti) v1.1

A nice arena with a raised hill, and side passages for added flow. Death rates get quite high when players can shoot across altitudes... Now tweaked with better weapon/ammo placement.

Evil-Towers of Light v1.2

Four towers surround an open arena. The cool thing about this map is that when a tower is occupied, it's lit up (both inside and outside).

Snaky's Net Levels

7 maps, mostly small (except for the last one, which is quite large). Author says they've been tested with 1 and 2 people... it's doubtful larger groups would have enough weapons and ammo. (In most of the maps, larger groups would trip over each other.) Comes with a bunch of bonus physics models.

Steve No More v1.0

A large, somewhat symmetrical level, with a hill surrounded by a lava moat. The hill is reached by shooting a switch that raises stairs to it, and under the hill (for those willing to brave the lava) is a stronghold with rechargers.

Death

A single level solo scenario. In a lot of ways, it reminded me of a map for M2 called Descent (except that it's far less buggy than Descent was).

Exploding Pipes Tutorial

Have you ever wanted to allow players to destroy walls, or other types of large environmental objects? Here's a tutorial that shows you how to do it. Perfect for the scenario maker who wants a spectacular effect in their project... (I actually had to redownload An AI Called Wanda to make sure a similar effect wasn't used to make the hull breach in Station Alpha (the sequel), but it seems that was just a hole. I have a recollection of it not being there when I started... but there aren't any platforms in the area. As far as I can tell, Mark's come up with a completely unused technique... a...
