Rockets of Fury (RoF) for Marathon EVIL: ReadMe
Map Pack by: Colin James
Notes:
•This patcher will turn your Bob's in to Rocket toting marines, with deadly accuracy.
•Perfect for training (especially after Keyboard -> Mouse conversion!)
New in this version: 3 new maps, and now the Marines shoot shotgun blasts when you are closer (becuase they used to suicide w/ rockets just to kill you).
TO APPLY THE PATCHER:
Double-click on the shapes patcher application and locate your Cursed Shapes file. It will do the rest automatically. This is ONLY for Evil... not Infinity.
IT IS NOT AN ANVIL PATCHER!
I originally made this because I wanted to practice after my recent conversion from a keyboard to mouse player.
I use it to practice strafing, mobility, and accuracy. As a result of my time spent in these maps, I have improved greatly.
Anyway when you click "Begin New Game" hold down the "command" and "option" keys. You are presented w/ a dialog box into which you can choose which level you would like to play. The levels are as follows:
1 = Return to Dome
2 = Return to the House of Luck
3 = Return to Cloud 7
4 = Return to Dusk
5 = Nukedome
6 = Roam
7 = Rancid Orange Juice
Enter those numbers to go to the corresponding level...
I only play these on Total Carnage, and I suggest you do as well...It's frustrating at first, but gradually gets less so.

Forge for EVIL Patcher: ReadMe
Patcher by: Colin James
YOU MUST REBUILD YOUR DESKTOP on the volume that Forge for EVIL resides on....
YOU MUST USE THE FORGE ON THE INFINITY CD! [This patcher is for folks whose Infinity CD has Forge 1.0.2 on it. The older Infinity CDs have version 1.0.1 on them, so be sure to check which version you have first.
New features:
• New creator type so that maps saved with Forge for EVIL, can be opened by double-clicking on them!
• New strings for weapons, monsters, scenery, and sounds, so that they correspond to the new EVIL environment.
• Changed the CICN resources so that they items represent the new EVIL items
• New splash picts.
• No longer a need to make an alias of the Cursed Shapes file and rename it "Shapes"...This version of Forge for EVIL recognizes the name "Cursed Shapes".
PLEASE DO NOT EMAIL BUNGIE: regarding this patcher, nor the application that it produces. If you have any problems email me
•We have not yet made a patcher for the version of Forge on the Trilogy CD, due to the fact that I don't own it. It may work, who knows...
Troubleshooting:
• Why did it take so long to get it to us?
We've had it through Evil's development, but we had to get it approved by Bungie and that well just now happened...no biggie though..its cause they are working on makin Myth kickass!
•If the patcher doesn't work, or quits half-way...
Try increasing the patcher's RAM allotment in the Get Info box.
•The patcher won't work because it says its not the right file!:
MAKE SURE that you are patching the Forge right off of the Infinty CD.
•Forge won't load now! :
Did you reset the RAM allotment, to what you had before...this patcher sets the RAM to what Forge off of the CD has it set to...i.e. real low.

Forge for EVIL Patcher (1.0.4): ReadMe
Patcher by: Colin James
YOU MUST PATCH FORGE 1.0.4
This version of the patcher has hardly been tested at all. The EVIL Group used Forge for EVIL 1.02, so that is very sturdy, but due to popular demand I whipped this patcher up real quick, leaving out some of the time consuming v1.02 bells and whistles. If you find something DRAMATICALLY wrong or skipped over then email me.
New features/Taken out:
•• THIS WAS TAKEN OUT FOR THE 1.0.4 PATCHER (Don't ask why)->: New creator type so that maps saved with Forge for EVIL, can be opened by double-clicking on them! (SO that means you need to manually change the creator code or Merged Maps to 26.E to give them the EVIL map icon)
• New strings for weapons, monsters, scenery, and sounds, so that they correspond to the new EVIL environment.
• Changed the CICN resources so that they items represent the new EVIL items
• New splash picts.
• No longer a need to make an alias of the Cursed Shapes file and rename it "Shapes"...This version of Forge for EVIL recognizes the name "Cursed Shapes".
PLEASE DO NOT EMAIL BUNGIE: regarding this patcher, nor the application that it produces. If you have any problems email me
Troubleshooting/Known Bugs:
•I have the Trilogy CD only how can I patch it?
Tough luck. Sorry, I don't have the Trilogy CD, so I don't have anything to base this on. You're not missing much.
•In the Weapons pull-down menu, next to the MOWMDWN/CM36, there is an odd/annoying "3"!
Deal with it, I don't know what it is, and it won't go away.
• Why did it take so long to get it to us?
We've had it through Evil's development, but we had to get it approved by Bungie and that well just now happened...no biggie though..its cause they are working on makin Myth kickass!

A pretty big map, but very pleasant to look at, and open enough (with enough access to most points) that even smaller groups should enjoy it. Great lighting and sound... one of the more impressive releases off the (now-defunct) Testing Grounds. Update is only for email address change.
A pretty well thought-out level. There are a few annoying glitches, but nothing fatal (even on a 68K mac). A lot of running back and forth...
