Easter Eggs

Pandabean

Dont say oh no not another one of these people telling people where easter eggs are.

Well I only want to ask what maps have them. I have so far found two, one on hera and the other on lost (also found a second one here in the HofN). Is there any more?

Sandman

Easter eggs? I don't recall seeing "easter eggs" in NS.

Or are you talking about hidden rooms? There is one of these in the latest version of ns_napo in the readyroom just below the entrance to the observematch entrance but you need to be able to fly to get in it.

nojmaster

theres one in the map with equilibruim thingy hive (is that ns_lost?)

Mintman

The only official maps that have them as far as I'm aware are Hera and Lost

CForrester

There's an easter egg in the gestation overlay. Pay close attention. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

There are a few minor texture easter eggs in Eclipse, and at least one in Veil. It seems the secret room that was in pre-release builds is gone, though. ):

Snidely

What about SHODAN in ns_nothing?

Ollj

hera 1.0 had more than one easter egg, but thats REALLY mysterious and might be a legent..

Grimm

You can find "SUYF" on the sky in ns_lost, but you have to look around for it...

coil

Many Chalupamonk-created skies (I'm pretty sure he did the skies for Hera, Eclipse/Veil, and Lost at the least) contain little... artifacts, shall we say. ^^

Like, ooh, i dunno, say... some cartoon character of some description?

Zel

anyone play action halflife? it had small dethmatch levels and then hidden areas that were often larger than the map itself. gotta push three switches and shoot a target in just the right spot then a whole side-game opened up. it was friggin awesome.

if NS maps werent already pushing HL to the limit, id say we should get some of that goodness.

azumawarrior

I think the gestation overlay says "boz"?

Niteowl

Mart

/me waves from the HofN, Eclipse and Thea.

Xzilen

Mart, the TRUE founder of SUYF :-p

Xiile

ns_veil.
Hint: Captain Crunch.

Nemesis_Zero

The biggest easter egg of all NS maps has to be in Bast, although many won't accept it as it's part of the regular level geometry.

Hint: Check the location names...

civman2

bast has that one in that room with that thing and that switch you push.

Am I not giving it away or what? <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

eL_DonkeY

*Head explodes from trying to recover all the names of bast from his dusty long term memory*

ViPr

bast had one in the cockpit but it seems it was removed.

RavenFire

Nem, you mean the portion that resembles the scene from that movie where the guy got grabbed from above by that thing while he was looking for Jones?

Yea, that was so cool when I found the message. Since its not there anymore, I might as well tell you all.

In some kind of cockpit room that I forget the exact location for, the main chair in the cockpit had a panel in front of it, and if you "use" the panel, a screen pops up with a message similar to "Protect the specimen at all costs, crew is expendable". I thought it was a riot because there I am, an alien skulk, reading a message that says I should be protected. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

I believe that's from Alien also. And Nem, is this the egg you were referring to? Or is there something else there, just waiting for me to find it...

Oh, and could someone please tell me if there are any windows in Eclipse? The only ones I can think of are the ones in the old readyroom.

nightdragon

Yes, on eclipse go to the access corridors (station access alpha side) and then look up, behold. Windows!
