Hello!
I will host a game of Marathon Tempus Irae Redux with Touhou sprites this week Saturday, June 15th at 3:00 EST. This is similar to the Touhou DOOM co-op games that are hosted sometimes. Though, this can only accommodate 8 players total ingame, unlike modern net DOOM.

This is an old game with an old engine so a few things are needed to be done before joining for the best experience. A lot of these settings cannot be changed while ingame:
- Run Aleph One.exe and select Preferences>Player. Change your name here and choose a color if you like. Here you can turn on a crosshair option. Default Marathon never had one but choose whatever suits for you.
- Back within Preferences, in "Graphics" select the following options: Make sure that "Overlay map" is checked on. Select "Rendering Options". Here you might need to change "Scripted Effects Quality" to "Low" if you are on a modest machine. Lowering the resolution also helps (in the main graphics section)
- Within Rendering Options select "Advanced". Make sure texture filtering for "Sprites" are set to "none" for near.
- Back within Preferences, in "Sounds"; Make "master volume" 80% and music 75%.
- (IMPORTANT!) Back within Preferences, go to "Controls" and UNCHECK the option "Auto re-center view". Mouse feel should be set to modern. Select "Mouse Advanced" and change to your preference. I like sensitivity about 0.1 or less for X and Y. Then use higher mouse DPI values to compensate for a smoother mouse look. "Raw Input Mode" checked as well. Back within "Controls", select "Move" tab on the top and set "Run/Swim Behavior" to "Always Run Hold to Swim" . Look over the rest of the keybindings within "Controls" and change to preference.
- To test your settings, go the main menu and press "Ctrl+Shift+N". Select the map "76 - [Net TLL] Octanitrocubane" or (Spoilers) "18 - Ameseno, Italy" as a good stress test maps.
Optional:
- There should be 2 different HUD styles. You can change it "Graphics>HUD Plugin". Change the setting"HUD Size" to make it fit. This somewhat dependent on your resolution. You can change the resolution in game with F1 and F2 keys.
Joining:
- Select "Join Network Game" in the menu. Change your player name, else it defaults to your computer name. Color too if you like. Then select "Find Internet game" (you might get a notice to update Aleph One, ignore that).
- Find the lobby that has "Tempus Irae Redux Touhou Coop Edit" in the name or something like that and join the lobby.
- IMPORTANT!: once joined in, change the chat type to "Joiners". It's the text above the lobby chat box. CLICK ON IT to change it. Else, you will chatting to random people in a public chat.
Hope to see you there! Like said this only supports 8 players and I cant really do anything about it, so sorry in advance if you lose a spot.
