Generate glow textures

For ease of editing, glowmaps are separated from the texture, but the scripts call upon a combined glowimage derived from the glowmap and main image. These can be made using Treellama's Aorta tool.

In Aorta's batch mode:

1. Point the source folder to the XBLA folder
2. Check "Traverse (and recreate) subfolders"
3. Make sure to check "Attempt to find mask" and search for ^_glow$
4. Set the output to an XBLA folder you created and will use for production
5. Set the output to png
6. Start the batch convert

Contributors

Special thanks to the following people for their contributions:

• Freeverse - Original M2 sprites designed for XBLA version of Marathon 2
• Hippiman - Providing us with the HD quality replacements for many of the monster sprites as well as less compressed versions than the origional extractions.
• Treellama - Providing higher quality Freeverse sprites sent directly from Freeverse themselves, including a few color tables that were not part of the official m2 plugin.
• Thedoctor45 - The first to port over the Freeverse sprites over to Alephone, first implement the HD sprites, made the purple trooper sprites, and made many bloom effects.
• General Tacticus - Created all new VacBob, Critters, and Jjaro scenery.
• Spurious Interrupt - Creator of SMG sprites used by the player sprites.
• Tfear7 - Original creator of grey monster sprites, while these were replaced with the new hd sprites, I'm still grateful for his assistance.

Goron's Infinity Textures

For completion and preservation's sake, also included in the "Goron Infinity Textures" folder are the HD Marathon Infinity wall and landscape textures created by community member Goran Svensson with further edits and bumpmaps by community members kaosof and The Man. These are the recommended textures to use with the CFP assets for Marathon Infinity.
