I seem to not be able to play online. A bot user gives me a message, and I cannot start or find any games. Can someone help me? Thanks from The Stig

Wow! I have to say, this game gets impossible once you actually use the blue bar! I'm still having trouble figuring out how to use the textures. It says the script should already be in my folder with the application, but it's not. Can somebody help me out? [quote]3. Put the 'Textures M1' script (text file) in your 'Scripts' folder which should be inside your M1A1 folder (if not create one).[/quote]On another note, the thread should be updated to link the right music for the right version. I had go look through this thread for a while before I found someone else that had it figured out. Save us the hassle! [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Synthmilk Ok, after following my own link that I have in my sig, I have discovered the problem: That "alternative" mp3 list only works with M1A1 for SDL v1.2. NOT WITH M1A1 for SDL v1.6, which is the version linked to in this thread. [url=http://orbitalarm.bungie.org/downloads/alephone.html]This Page[/url] contains your basic Marathon downloads, including links to some of the various music and other files that you can get for each version. [url=http://orbitalarm.bungie.org/downloads/M1A1/M1A1-SE%20Tracks%20v1.5.zip]This Link[/url] is to the M1A1-SE Ogg Vorbis Tracks that work with M1A1 for SDL v1.6 Download it, unzip it to someplace other than your Marathon folder, and it will make the folders Marathon Special Edition with the folder M1A1 Tracks inside it, with all the necessary files inside of that. Copy or move all the files in this M1A1 Tracks folder and put them into the M1A1 Tracks folder whever you installed M1A1 for SDL v1.6 to. Say yes to all when it asks you if you want to replace existing files. Poof, you have music, really quiet relative to the other sound effects but thats ok. The Marathon 2 tracks can be downloaded from [url=http://orbitalarm.bungie.org/downloads/scenario/Marathon%202%20SE%20Tracks.zip]Here[/url] And are installed in the same manner.[/quote] [Edited on 03.25.2007 8:53 PM PDT]

Thank you for this thread. I have been wanting to try out Marathon for a while now, and so far, from the bit I have played from the first game...it's amazing.
-
Yes, they are. The Trilogy was released as freeware by Bungie in December of 2004.
-
I have got a question for you mate, are these downloads are legal? I mean sure they are extremely old and everything but it is still a fully operational game..Last time I tried to download Infinity, I only got the trial...
-
When playing Marathon and Halo campaign, you notice shocking similarities :O
-
i hope i am not going to off topic but i can get marathon working perfectly but when i go to join a internet game there are rarly any one there do you know wich games have the highist population online?? o and its grate to see a this up well made congrats

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Count Rolland I hope this isn't too out of line for this topic, but... marathon pwnzn00biezz A-hem. Slightly more on topic, I'll say that I've never been able to play any of the three online. I know Aleph One is supposed to fix everything, but I just was never able to get it to work on my comp(mac,& don't u say a word, pc people). Either the machine is just too old, or I was doing one thing wrong the whole time and never figured it out. That's why I'm hoping bungie will put the trilogy on the XBL Arcade soon. [/quote] What OS are you using and what are the basic specs for your computer?
-
NIce thread. I'd vote to sticky this.
-
I am trying to download th emusic to the first Marathon, but it will not let me.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Locke The storyline doesn't really tie into Halo. That's not to say there aren't connections...[/quote] I would say, in the words of Bungie, it "parallels" the Halo storyline... ...almost as if it were a dream. ;) Do dead men dream? -Alex ;)

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Pfhorsome guys, if u didnt know about this game then u arent hardcore bungie fans i mean c'mon ther old, they rock and u can almost always find an online game, wy not get it for free - plus an amazing story line that ties in with halo, and great solo carnage P.S. I dare everyone to vid it! and if u dont kno what that means u shouldnt play at all [/quote] The storyline doesn't really tie into Halo. That's not to say there aren't connections... As to your post script, post your vids, vidboy. Lets see what you're made of. ;) Note to readers: version 2.0 of this guide will be coming out soon, with all-new extras and a revamped Mac and Linux guide. Suffice it to say that it's going to pwn. Note to moderators: why the hell is this not still stickied?! [Edited on 12/25/2006]

When i download infinity, I get the files, but I don't know where to save them in to,
-
I need help i was playing yesterday in match making and all of a sudden i got a messages saying you have been banned from matchmaking what am i suppose to do? I was reading on the internet about it and it said if you are caught modding you will be banned i have never modded in my entire live so can someone please help me
-
I my self have been a Marathon fanatic for a while now and I'm sure this thread will lure more confused Halo players to our Marathon cuase. Thanks for this gift of the gods, you are a heaven send. When I say heaven I mean Bungie heaven of course.
-
I need cheetz. Someone PM me a link. Oh, and if you can't get the game to play the MP3s, just run em in a media player. I use iTunes.
-
The best really is source.bungie.org/get where you get all A1 files, all games, textures scenarios etc Also check out fileball.net for new stuuff/ good maps/etc
-
I got all three games today, and have played the first for a couple of minutes. It seems promising, but the texture enhance download is taking forever at a speed of ~800 [b]bytes[/b]/second, meaning I'll have to wait 55 hours for the high and 16 hours for the medium enhancer. Any other site that hosts these files??? [Edited on 10/26/2006]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] yenraBdellikI OK... I downloaded Marathon 1, and the music. I extracted the files into the M1A1 Tracks folder. But I've yet to hear music. I don't know if I'm just not far enough into the game, or if I did something wrong, but could someone just describe about how far into the game music plays for the first time? This will help me know if I did something wrong (which I think I might have).[/quote] check the preferences and see if there is a soundtracks or enable music option.
