Moviepack

Here's what you have been waiting for: the Moviepack by Fabrice Holbé( ), making Armagetron look more like the movie, only a bit better :-). Download it as a windows installer (440 KByte) or ZIP archive (350 KByte) (See below for installation instructions then), and read the enclosed file "art_read_me.txt" for copyright stuff. Armagetron does not yet have full support for it; especially, the title screen is not displayed. Here are some screenshots:

Ross Worthley created an alternative version of the Moviepack with new textures. Get it from here and unzip it into the main Armagetron directory. Nice work! Looks really polished.

Ian Novack modified the Moviepack cycle texture and added two logos: the Psi corps from Babylon 5 and the Philadelphia Flyers. Just copy the files over the usual moviepack/bike.png. I'll add real skin selection support in Armagetron later. He also made a different rim wall texture, so if you want some change, download it and just copy the files contained in the archive into the moviepack directory.

Charles R. Mann ( ) added a logo of the Star Wars Imperials and Rebels as well as the Autobot and Decepticon Transformers. The installation instructions above apply here, too.

Jon Foyle ( ) made made a new wall texture for the moviepack for those of you who like the property of the non-moviepack walls that you can determine the direction the cycle drove from them; see here for a screenshot and get the texture here. Just copy it over the file of the same name in the moviepack directory.

Movie Sounds

Chaz Guarino has extracted sounds from the movie, and you can hear them in Armagetron, if you like. They are available for download in different qualities (the intermediate qualities have the large files stored in lower quality than the smaller ones). Please note that these files are not under the GPL; in fact, it probably is a violation of Disney's copyright to make them available for download here.

• Installer version (High Quality, 1.6 MByte)
• Full Quality ZIP archive(all 44100Hz 16 bit stereo,2.2 MByte)
• High Quality ZIP archive(1.2 MByte)
• Medium Quality ZIP archive(667 KByte)
• Low Quality ZIP archive(331 KByte)
• Crappy Quality ZIP archive(all 22050Hz 8 bit mono,122 KByte)

Spanish Movie Sounds

Lars' Fiddlings

Lars Doucet made some changes to the game textures; see a screenshot and get them if you like the new look.

More Stuff

If that's not enough, visit the user defined patches collection. Use it to freely share your creations.

All this nice stuff really makes me think about implementing proper graphical mod support earlier than planned.

• armagetron/
  • armagetron(.exe)
  • text files
  • *.cfg
  • sound/
    • cyclrun.wav expl.wav
  • textures/
    • *.png
  • models/
    • *.mod
  • moviepack/
    • Moviepack files: NO subdirectories
  • moviesounds/
    • *.wav movie sounds, NO subdirectories

If you are using a command line unzip, you just change to your Armagetron directory and type
<unzip> <Path>\moviexxx.zip
If you are using Winzip, right-click on the .zip-file, select "extract to..." from the pop-up menu, and enter your Armagetron directory as the target path.
In both cases, the "moviepack" and "moviesounds" subdirectories of your Armagetron folder must not contain any subdirectories: the files should be right there.
