Entities and interesting stuff

Beta version is basically a test stage to check the stability of the game. It’s not the final product which mean anything can be changed. SOF has his proof (ex: claymore)

MISCELLANEOUS

 

Flame thrower

  • The flame has a different effect when activated.

Silver Talon .44 (or Desert eagle)

  • This weapon does have an alternate function. like mpg, machine gun or rocket launcher, the .44 has the ability to whip the player and decrease an amount of hp.

  • Ammo capacity was set to 100.

Black Panther (glock) & Machine pistol

  • Both weapon had ammo capacity of 300 (like 5.56 ammo).

Machine gun

  • Capacity in clip was 50 (instead of 40 we have).

Player height

  • Our height was shorter than any enemy. This got fixed in version 0.57 (demo).

Sophisticated sniper zoom

  • When zooming, there was a meter showing the bullet range distance and the wind speed.

Real name weapon

  • 9mm Black Panther (piece) = Glock
  • B-42 Berserker (shotgun) = SPAS 12
  • Bulldog (sub-smg) = Ingram
  • Eagle Eye (sniper) = Sig 3000
  • M75 Guardian (machinegun) = M249 Minimi
  • Raptor (smg) = FAMAE SAF
  • Silver Talon (magnum) = Desert Eagle
  • Slugthrower (autoshotgun) = Jackhammer
  • M67 grenade = M67

NOTE : Those who aren’t listed is either already named or fictional weapon.

Suicide

  • The real term used when suicide was: [INDEX 5]

–“%p couldn’t take it anymore\n”

Player killing streak

  • It was never intended to be in final release (as the file name called Test.sp). It was supposed to show a message saying how many times someone killed someone (not everyone in general). [INDEX 0]

–“The player %s was killed by %s %d times!”

 

Multiplayer skin : Deadeye & Ponytail

  • Hhmm, those are quite strange but possible that they are independent enemies in game or allies. They don’t belong into a terrorist gang. By reading their information Ponytail might got used in Nyc map as he’s “born and raised in back alley”, but raised with naughty people. Deadeye’s name is pretty familiar to say he’s born in USA too (Bruce Kennedy).

 

African girl

  • Face used on SUDs map.

 Connection logo

  • Possible to see in DEMO version.

My arse !!

  • No F…..g idea why it’s there. More like entertainment. It is stored in “pics” folder.

 

Single player item shop

  • From what i believe, the money earned was used to buy weapon.

Coop

  • A general (client and server) cvar name existed : “coop”. Was it for coop mission? or an active cvar from Quake 2, but removed for Sof1.

Even older

These are picture from a real far back in beta which I’m gonna say It’s Alpha version (before beta). Even less information. Files are taken from atomicgamers.com.

  • Seem to be Tsr1 with some ecto character monsters. different knife texture, and a body damage.

 

  • Same ecto guy.

 

  • Totally different Iraq map.

 

  • Iraq map with ecto officer.

 

  • Iraq map with different desert eagle shape.

 

  • Different view of Iraq map.

 

  • Iraq view.

 

  • Iraq view.

 

  • Another view of Iraq with ecto getting killed.

 

  • No comment… The oldness of the engine is getting more similar of the first id Tech 2 engine pattern.

 

KOS = IRQs?

I made this decision after viewing screens shots of Kos3. I personally believe its an old Irq map. It’s kinda strange that there hostages with Irq face, sniper guy, police guy (desert eagle) from Irq and .. yes door from Irq. B version has different building too. I don’t wanna jump in this conclusion yet but if you see this picture, it become red (light) like in the trailer in kos3. By checking the Sof intro video. Your spawn point never existed in tunel and the tunel also never existed. The video show a part of a random place using the same beta KOS sky (blue with cyan windows tower). And for last which resolve a new mystery that some might saw it. Its about the 2 boxes in a truck. No one know yet why its there until myself. In the video intro again. Trucks were different and they were using a flat deck which mean those 2 boxes were visible.
