Easter egg in NovaTools

Vaumnou

If you create a rlëD resource with nothing in it and open it, NovaTools writes a small rotating R&R; logo into it and plays that. It's... interesting.

Heh, sure enough. I wonder if you could replace some of the Nova sprites with them... it'd certainly be interesting to see a Carrier launch a squadron of R&Rs.;

Seems like you could - it appears that the spinning R&R; is the default data entered into the resource, so it should be saved with the file.

That's great.

That was an easter egg?
I've seen that at least 20 times. I never thought it was some kind of secret...

Seems like ages since I first saw that spinning R&R; in the rlëD rescource... I don't know what took you guys so long.

Ahh, well, I didn't find a mention of it when I searched and assumed you guys hadn't found it. Who cares?

Now, /me should make a plugin so that the w00tware Javelin pers has R&R;'s instead of Darts.

What kind of weapons will they shoot? Little R's?

Vaumnou

No, they shoot w's, 0's, and t's.

Ah. Which is the most powerful?

w's are the most powerful ('cause they come first), those are freeflight rockets with a low speed.
0's are 2nd, they are fast missiles with a Hellhound explosion.
t's are 3rd, they are basically like a Medium Blaster that fits on a figher.

Of course, I'm to lazy to actually make these. Plus my emulator crashes when I try to edit shans or several other resource types that I'd need. Would anyone here like to do it?

Awww. You're not actually doing it? Too bad.

I might, but I've got far to many things I'm doing already to bother with another (albeit small) project.

Naw, just a single "w00t" gun, with the sound "w00t" playing with every shot!

Hrm. ElGuapo7 has a good point...

So is Vaumnou wrong? I thought it would be quite cool if they were three different weapons for three different characters.

I don't think it's an issue of right or wrong, ElGuapo7 just had a different idea. You could do both if you wanted. And you could even add other cannons, like "l0s3r" cannons that fully ionize the target black, in one hit. They would just look like a big, spinning, capital "L".
