Oliver, are there any Easter Eggs in TNM we...

Job Van DamPosted on 06/13/04 at 19:30:04

don't know about?

I remember back when I was using FE, we also knew a lot of the eggs in that too, but there were also secret easter eggs people did not know.

Like for example, back in FE, I once saw a manager turn on her own client. I just wanted to know if there are any secret easter eggs of that nature in SE? Of course if they are secret, you don't have to tell us what they are? Just tell us if there are any in the program!!! ::)

Yes, there are three secret Easter Eggs in TNM 7 SE that weren't in TNM 7 FE. Thus far, one has been discovered by a few people and reported to me.

And no, I'm not telling :)

Come on Oliver...how about alitte hint on the 3 new ones......pleeezzzz
Oliver CoppPosted on 07/19/04 at 17:40:48

Sorry, Justin - it just ain't happening this time around. I won't spoil the "holy sh!t" factor when people first find them :)

How will we know that we've hit them?
Oliver CoppPosted on 07/21/04 at 07:10:37

You'll notice because they are spots that'll happen in matches under certain circumstances.

I THINK I FOUND ONE!

I never saw this happen before.  This came up during a Royal Rumble type match I ran:



[pre]
Sampson Griffith executes a belly-to-back suplex on Dawson Polaris.
Sampson Griffith tries to throw Dawson Polaris over the top rope.
Dawson Polaris hangs on to the top rope for dear life.
Dawson Polaris clutches his legs around Sampson Griffith's head.
Dawson Polaris pulls Sampson Griffith out of the ring.
Dawson Polaris pulls himself back in.
** Sampson Griffith has been eliminated.
The crowd erupts.

The winner is Dawson Polaris. Time of match: 1:17:09
[/pre]



Did I find one?

Yeah, I've seen that happen a few times before too. I suspect it's just a new spot rather than an easter egg but it's a nice addition either way, and I'm sure Oliver can confirm one way or another.

Actually I seen that happen lots in TNM 7 SE, especially in battle royal/royal rumble matches!
jhip74Posted on 07/22/04 at 01:47:21

Its a "Skin The Cat" move.
Owen Hart RIPPosted on 07/22/04 at 03:13:27

Yes, it only happens with wrestlers who are marked to "skin the cat"
AnubisPosted on 07/22/04 at 10:04:33

I know that about the hanging on part.  That's not what I meant.  The part I was talking about was the hanging on AND then subsequently grabbing the other guy and flinging him from the ring before skinning the cat.  Specifically, this part:

[pre]
Dawson Polaris clutches his legs around Sampson Griffith's head.
Dawson Polaris pulls Sampson Griffith out of the ring.
Dawson Polaris pulls himself back in.

It's not an Easter Egg but one of the new features of TNM 7 SE.
AnubisPosted on 07/22/04 at 21:16:13

Ah, okay.  Dang, thought I found one.

Okay, Oliver, question: are the other easter eggs just random events/spots in matches, or are they "unl,ockable" to be chosen like the others?
SnDvls316Posted on 07/24/04 at 22:15:12

not easter eggs, but funny comments I found/like

the fans chant (Wrestler Name) sucks!
the fans chant boring ! boring !
some fans are going to the consession (sp?) stands.
americamamushiPosted on 07/24/04 at 22:56:25

Sometimes fans will randomly chant "We want Hogan" or something to that effect as well. :)

Or chanting we want Earl Hebner, or whoever the ref is during the match!

They are things that'll happen in matches, not features you need to unlock. IMO, the bunch of hidden features I put in TNM 7 SE should be enough as far as free extras go ;)

Seriously, though - the idea behind the other Easter Eggs is to give you some cool spots in matches from time to time. I always have a smile on my face when somebody who's been using TNM for close to ten years sends me an e-mail saying "I never saw this before" :)
AnubisPosted on 07/25/04 at 04:23:43

The thing is, how on earth will we know when and if it happens?  I use "f" a lot through matches I don't care as much about, and I also use mostly fictional wrestlers.  Most of the unlockable stuff all required specific real wrestlers to unlock.

Without even the slightest hint, how is anybody ever supposed to find them>  I would think finding the eggs should be a challenge, not a matter of luck.
