The novelty is wearing off with the Christmas menu, I'm assuming this is hard-coded and waiting for a patch?

Don't get me wrong I like it but... It's over :-h

    @SamusDroid‌ ; that would require effort dude heehee <3 Would be good if NS2 looked at the date and loaded different menu/readyroom for seasons. Keep @Loki‌ out of trouble.

    and Yay, educating the NS2 community with English slang. Thanks guys, love you all

    But @MuckyMcFly‌ I love having really loud "jingle bells" playing in my ear before I start a match. I turn the sound down for the menu, only to realize I can't hear a marine running cos I have the sound down :-/

    Once everything broke, ceases to be broken.
    You'll have your boring, normal, lame, without gorge humming away to chrissy tune backgrounds back.

    Filthy cretin.

    P.S, May i present, the NEW AND IMPROVED, Menu?

    Why does this have to be patched in and out rather than checking the date somewhere? Just curious.

    The actual .level files are being modified to give them a seasonal flair. The only way it could work by checking the date is if every map and menu has regular, xmas, halloween, etc. versions... and that'd just be silly.

    Actually it would only need customised ready rooms within the map, and ready room spawn entities which have a season parameter. Then during appropriate season, they would be spawned in the appropriate ready room.

    Fairly simple in concept, of course there is the work to build all those ready rooms...

    my gorge sense says, minimal effort if possible. So, I would rather wait for a patch (or put all the themes on at all times - different parts of the RR, so you are right for the season for any time of the year at some point (ps. Easter is coming - I can see hot cross buns in the super markets already).
