Are there any easter eggs?

CMEast · July 2002

<div class="IPBDescription">Well? are there?</div>Youd probably want any you have put in to be discovered but I dont care, I wanna ask.
In TFC all the grenades change to presents on HL's birthday, just wondered if something similar might happen.
It would be funny to see aliens wandering round in pink tutu's or clown make-up. Maybe the marines could moonwalk everywhere and when shot do a micheal jackson style 'owww' and everytime they win its says 'who's bad' <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>. I dunno, could have a number of things, just wondered if easter eggs were in?

when is hl's b-day?

I should probably go ahead and mention that the "Grenades to Presents" is a server-side AdminMOD variable, not something contained within the game itself. <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Or at a set date, maybe Flayra's b-day or so every model could turn into sushi... that would add some strange gameplay on that day...

'nuff said.

I know that some maps will probably have 'easter egg' type things in them. Though, since a lot of them are already stretching the engine limitations to their breaking point, easter eggs likely won't be in very many maps (you know, since they aren't nearly as important as the playable part of the rest of the level).

I remember playing TFC and there suddenly was a huge weapon that looked like a birthday present you could throw, that was a nuke. You heard "HERE'S YOUR BIRTHDAY PRESENT !" and then everyone in a large range was dead.

when you played Rise Of The Triad on holidays the splashscreen with the characters on changed, like on christmas they were wearing those christmas hats s:)
I think NS will have easters in its maps, like most CS maps ...
Greedo made me curious about the easteregg in his map s:D

DruBo · July 2002

greedo's old map, NS_Runaround, has an easter egg. Want to know what it is? I'll tell you. If you wallclimb in certain areas, HL crashes! wheee!

Slycaster · July 2002

Umm, ok, i think you guys missed the ENTIRE POINT of an easteregg. It's suposed to be HARD to find. That doesn't mean, ok guys, let's tell everyone on the forums where are l337 h4x0r easter-eggs are... it means you need to find them. Remember, THINK.

The ReadyRoom of a map is just begging to have some fancy easter eggs hidden in them somewhere, if you have numbers to spare that is.

I've actually had that idea myself, Scythe <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> Not that I'm making a map, but...

I just wanted to say that the holiday mode (happens on Christmas as well) was around long before AdminMOD. And the variable (tfc_christmas or something like that.. I forget) will turn it on, but it comes on by itself.

This coming christmas, play on any TFC server on December 25th.. AdminMOD or not, it will be on holiday mode.

Tick, it's great that ur digging down and reading up on old stuff, but by the time something is two weeks or older it's dead and buried, in most cases no one cares. There are exceptions but the general thing is, don't bring back too many old threads.

When I see something incorrect about TFC with a smiley at the end of it, I feel the need to point it out.

I guess I am used to SA, where the 9th page is full on threads from yesterday.

maybe theres a little brick sticking out in some wall, and if you use it a door opens up into a bar with an alien dancing on the counter.

Kadreal · July 2002

I challenge you guys to mmake an easter egg so great in a ready room that 90% of us would want to do that instead of playing the map <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>
