I always liked Armagetron, since about 10 years. I even used it as a kind of screensaver just for the beauty. What I did not like is that it renders rather ugly at nowaday's high resolutions like 1920x1200.
What I did now was hand painting high resolution rim walls that look like in the original movie. The walls and the floor also have the c00l bluegrey-with-a-touch-of-green look of the 70s datacenters that was also used in the original movie.
The rather complex "cycle.ase" is not from me, it's the most beautuful that I could find.
I also added the alternative "font.png" from TR2N Origins. Copy it into the textures-folder. It renders a bit more beautiful at high resoulutions (but the original small font used in the HUD still renders very ugly). I heard that Armagetron 0.3.0 and 0.4.0 use a real ttf-font but I was not able to find Win32-binaries of these betas. Anybody help?
You can add further beauty by switching anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering to "16x" or so with your graphic card's external software.
This moviepack is (at least) compatible to Armagetron Advanced 0.2.8.3.1 and TR2N Origins 0.4.4.
