Did anyone ever figure out what easter egg sock left for us on the fueldump map?

Hi
I copied those socs and put them on a table in my map Berserk TE. (There is also a wall with some gun holes on it. Look close and you can see them form letters: L O F … and so on.)
Back to topic: Sock has updated his own webpage (after 10.000 years of no updates). Have alook at http://www.planetquake.com/simland/
Interesting reading. Gives insight to a lot of dimension of mapping.

Its always nice to include some kind of special easter egg in your map. I was always restricted in what I could include because its a MP map and those socks are from RCTW. I should have made some really cool funky one’s but did not have much time.

My website is going through a complete cleanup, I have not really done anything to it for like 2 years and its just such a mess. Loads of stuff is out of date or simply not relevant but got some new stuff to add which I think everyone will find useful.

In fueldump there is also a third location I was going to add something but only placed the room ready. Its in the axis base, initial bunker with the stairs up from the spawnroom. There is a generator room behind a locked door. Was planning to have a skeleton on the floor with a pile of socks close by but ran out of time. Oh well maybe next time! :wink:

I just had to go inside :slight_smile: Here is what I saw:

But there is coming a generator sound from the room, right? Or maybe its just my junk speakers :slight_smile:

I also took two shots of the socks. On allied side of map:

And on axis side:

And finally a question:

I have never noticed this before when flying around but why does the sky “go down” to the top of the hills? To improve speed?

Finally, I just wanna say the Fueldump is by far my favorite of the original maps for ET. I am always looking forward to play it, when it comes up :clap:

Yes I think those brushes are caulked because you normally do not see there. It improves speed because there are less vertexes to be drawn. Look other maps with noclip there is a lot of caulked terrains there.
