In Response To: Ask the creators of resurrection, perhaps? (Mercury)

Answer: awesome Anvil-age. :)

I did a sort physics mod that made the Bobs more dangerous a while ago. Gave them shotguns with the proper marine sprite and all...much more fun to play levels where all the Bobs are out to get you. :D

Just sit down with Anvil and do some trial-and-error. It'll work out. But, as the previous posters mentioned, it's nothing fancy and definitely has its limitations. My best suggestion is to create some twisted, evil sprout off of AlephOne and code some really awesome AI into it.

Odds of you knowing how to grab AlephOne source: mid-range. Odds of you knowing where all the relevant modules are on the AlephOne source: lower. Odds of you knowing how to code decent C++: mid-range. Odds of you being awesome at gaming AI: really low. Odds of you spending the time to put all of these together in an upgradable (and single-player!) package: extraordinarily low.

It's just really not feasible with the way the current engine is set up. I've talked this (and other things, like a Lua console) over before, but things are just too plain difficult. :)

: How exactly did you change the aliens into bots?

: I was figuring that we could just make a request to the person who created
: M1A1. I was just wondering if maybe that person could help. They made
: human bots in Doom Legacy (an advanced and carbonized remake of classic
: doom) and they worked okay. Perhaps unless Marathon's structure is too
: advanced to reach beyond the limits...

: Getting to the point of my thread, what Marathon Resurrection? Since they
: used the UT engine, it shouldn't be that hard to make it so that you are
: able to do a botmatch. Maybe we could ask them about it.
