Ask the creators of resurrection, perhaps?

: It's possible, but limited.
: I have done something like this before. If you put together the right sprites
: then alter the projectiles and stats of the aliens you can make various
: 'bots' in marathon. keep in mind though, the limitations of the engine can
: only allow for 2 projectile types per alien (ie 1 gun only with no
: changing weapons). Also, they cannot pick up ammo, or run out of it. They
: will respawn with the gun they get given.
: so in the end you get a rocket launcher SO, a machine gun SO, a fusion gun SO
: etc. They also can't use any powerups.
: When I gave this a try many years ago, it was good fun but not very
: realistic. Also, I had difficulty stopping the rocket launcher SO from
: firing a close range :)
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.
