In Response To: More... (Thomas)

: It's Hanson, not Hansen... sorry if you're out there.

: Since I'm a loser, I had nothing better to do Friday night than to furnish
: complete strangers with unimportant information on the significance of the
: colors of some frantic humans in a game published seven years ago. The
: horrors of procrastination...

: If Hanson is to be believed...

: - Crew is green
: - Science is yellow
: - Security is blue
: - Engineering is red

: Anyone rude enough to send mail to ask Hanson where he pulled these out of?
: It was hanson@cs.stanford.edu , but that's probably invalid by now. As
: far as I can tell from tooling about the Marathon files with a hex editor,
: the names were extracted from the Marathon files so this is pretty
: reliable I think.

Aye. This is the same as Steve Israelson's Pfhorte (M1 map editor). A long time ago I asked Steve where he got these names from. He said the M1 source code. Still trying to find the original letter and also a letter from Matt Soell on the subject.

: Have you ever tried mucking about the marathon files? If you have an hour to
: kill and have absolutely nothing better to do, you can find some strange
: things. Not particularly interesting, but strange. I found lots of
: references to "Barney meets Godzilla" in the shape file. Like I
: said, not interesting, but pretty strange.

Grab some screenshots and send them in. Thanks. :-)

Cheers
Hamish
