Title: Sunny Face (a teletubbies easter egg in SCP?)
Post by: CQD on August 30, 2008, 10:39:47 pm
I've be away from Freespace for almost two years, last night I get the lastest stable release of SCP(manually, the installer downloaded 200MB for 5 hours for me).

This is what I saw in my first combat.

Does any knows why the sun becomes...the sun?

It's even more wired that I can't get this face show up again. Neither by replaying the mission in mission simulator nor by creating a new pilot and replay the FS2 campaign. It just become an ordinary round yellow sun it the dark sky.

:welcomeblue:

It's an easter egg. I've done it before in Apocalypse. :drevil:

I think it's triggered by typing TELETUBBIES in-mission.

I just tried typing TELETUBBIES in mission, nothing changed. Besides, it's no way that I type such thing in game last night.

It must be triggered by something else, if it can be triggered again.

I think you have to hold down the "  ` " key (the  ~ thing)

I did a quick search and find that this teletubbies easter egg also exists in Descent 3.

But I can't get this work for me in SCP 3.6.10


Still don't understand how did I get the sunny face show up in game....

Perhaps it just pops up once in a while?

Maybe.

Ah-ha, I knew where I went wrong. That code works in Descent 3, not FreeSpace 2. Sorry. :blah:

By the way, that's the sun from Teletubbies, right?

Maybe it's just me, but whenever I play DEM on the 3rd mission I always have the Teletubbies sun present.

Rogue stars.tbl table on the thread opener's behalf?  :nervous:

Check that you don't have DEM material loading in the game init phase.

IIRC this was a mod, maybe you had the mod installed at one point, then disabled it later.

Running a debug build and then checking fs2_open.log could reveal if DEM is misplaced for some reason.
