BRUTAL MARATHON

The main thing to know about this plugin is that if you're going to refer to it, you must use ALL CAPS. Along with that, you should know that it adds extra gore to every monster that dies.

-- Installation

Simply copy 'BRUTAL MARATHON' folder into the Plugins folder of the scenario you want to use. This plugin is compatible with Marathon 2, Infinity, and any other scenario that uses mostly unmodified versions of those monsters.

-- Configuration

You must use version 1.4 of alephone or later, to get any benefit from this plugin. Within preferences, you can select Graphics -> Rendering options -> Scripted Effects Quality. The higher the quality, the more gore you will get when a monster explodes. If you turn it off, you won't get any gore at all, and the plugin will be useless. If you are having frame rate issues, turn the quality down.

-- Watching BRUTAL netgame films

You can watch netgame films with marine gore if you:
* Apply the gore.ShPa patch to the infinity shapes and save it off as a new BRUTAL shape file.
* Select the new BRUTAL shape file in your environment shapes.
* Select the brutal_marathon.lua script for film playback.

-- Credits

Lua scripting by Wrkncacnter.
Most BRUTAL monster gore put together by Wrkncacnter based on Bungie shapes. Tooncinator did the gore shapes for the marines and vacbobs, and generally made the plugin more compatible with marathon infinity and infinity based scenarios.
