THE SHAPE OF FEAR

Last modified 10 July 1998

This page contains most of what's out there for editing Marathon Shapes files, as well as some already edited examples. The Shapes file controls the look of characters (Marines, Bobs, Aliens), as well as wall, floor and ceiling textures.

**Marathon Textures**
Filename	Description
Assorted Walls	What it sounds like. Comes with replacement textures for three texturesets. (Some textures are used in more than one set.) Generally an interesting collection... well done, and useful.
