If a Cool physics Model is any indication that its creator has no life, then I must be dead or something. Power Mac Creative Art Director by day, Taekwondo instructor by evening, alien smasher past midnight; I still find time to mix up a batch of ferocious weapons designed to inject new life into anyone's game. The Producer at our company and I play the network levels against each other and against the aliens for hours, and have decided that it's better than food, sleep, and sex. (well forget that last bit, I must really be tired!) Anyway, THIS is supposed to be the user's guide for total weapon fulfillment. Bon Apetite!
Physical Enhancements...[nothing outrageous, just funner]
1) You don't need to use CAPSLOCK to run anymore because I've made walking the same as running in the PHYSICS section.
2) Increased the speed of looking left, right, and return to center for those who like a tighter strafe feel.
3) Sped up sideways and backward movement.
4) New Zeus charging sound! Made it myself in Soundedit 16! ResEdit/cut/paste/you know...
Weapons Module...[new shots abound!]
Fist-Primary shot is Jean-Claude Van Damme style punch, more kick and triple the damage!
Secondary shot sets land mines that blow up when an alien or another player come within
1 meter. [Does not affect the player that sets the charge, unless you're too close to an
alien that runs into it. BOOM!!!] If you set one in the middle of a door, it will detonate
when the door closes. Look out! Oh yeah you only get 8 of each, so if you want to recharge
your fist and mines, find an invisibility powerup, and you get 8 more! Gotta keep it fair
somehow!
Pistol-Primary shot comes from our invisible friend maker. Now you see them, Now you don't!
Secondary shot reinforces your new magic trick.
Zeus Class Plasma Pistol-Primary shot is a compiler bolt. As annoying as the S'Pht are, their
shots look cool in a dark room. Same fire power as before.
Secondary shot ejects the entire Plasma Energy Cell and wipes away pretty much
everything. Spic and Span style, but don't shoot too close to a wall or anyone else that
plans on seeing tomorrow.
AR-75-Primary shot is the Hunter's fire. I know a lot of you who like this one, and it's nice
to have another alien weapon that's pretty easy to find during game play.
Secondary shot is an electro buffer that gives you the freedom to be as messy as you
like. Just don't slip on any alien guts!
Sphincter Launcher-Primary shot is the tried and true American rocket with a HOT takeoff!
Just enough contrail to be exciting without slowing down network game time.
Secondary shot-This one I owe thanks to Scott a.k.a. NABBER on AOL-Plan on doing large
delta jumps by INCREASING your health before you fire. Hold down the key and increase
your shields up to 200%. No more pesky visits to the shield regen. I even added a
flashlight so you can see if anyone is headed your way. Neato! Get more shields the next
Launcher you run across (works on carnage levels that allow you to pick up more than
one of the same weapon).
TOZ-Ter-Primary shot is a definite heat wave! 1-3 long range shots is enough to fry up some
tasty Phor treat! Trigger finger lickin' good.
Secondary shot gives your friends and enemies a taste of Bar-B-Que with this hickory
flavored exhaust maker. If they like cigarettes, you may need primary and secondary
shots to get your message through. My personal warning, smoking stinks! =)
Alienator-Primary shot relieves tension on tired trigger fingers. One shot says it all. BLAM!
Secondary shot helps ease the pain of bothersome constipation. Step back, I'm gonna
take a dump!!! (Watch out for Encorcers brandishing these suckers!!!)
Alien advancements...[Projectile fighters]
1) Need practice evading projectiles? Play NET level 31 (Squared) on Total Carnage and get kicking!
2) Get your black belt here by playing NET level 34 (Waldo). Watch friends run around the whole room with a trail of guided missiles up their rear!
Other Marathings...[stuff I'm looking for/working on]
Okay, so I'm looking to create a BOB that looks like another PLAYER; just like everyone else.
No hints yet, still searching. I talked with hanson the guy that wrote the editor the other day, but as of right now the verdict is grim. Can't shoot shots that look like player parts either. Doh!
Anyone know how to create a shot that can transport something to another location?
How about a shot that heals another player? Good for teamwork, if anybody has tried that yet.
No morphing aliens yet either; man it's like my hands are tied.
If anyone can figure out how to change the height at which a shot is created, do tell.
What I'm looking to do is create a shot that looks like an infravision powerup, doesn't fly,
crushes a player on impact, but doesn't come out of the gun 2 feet above my head. Funny thing is that the fighters still run into them. Does that dz, dx field do anything for weapons? I can't tell.
Just where exactly is : the Alien editor and texture viewer/changer?
Attach to me please, unless they're still buggy!
Some of the sounds I use are a collection of the originals, COOL MARATHON SOUNDS@sumex, and ones I rendered at work. If yours are different, this Model might give you some weird/dorky shooting sounds. Adjust as necessary =).
Anyway, play the game, (like you need to be told, right?) and let me know what you think.
Reply with your coolest Physics Model and a short letter.

Thought for the day-I wonder what it would be like to play Marathon under the floor level; like opposite of flying. New Worm Holes abound.
