Just when I thought that there would be no surprises left in the old gal, something like this shows up:

index.php?t=getfile&id=6364&private=0

A fully rigged Squid freak.
W3D: "squidfreek.w3d"
Always.dat


So I got to thinking that lets all share the oddities that exist.

No joke, there really is a file called squidfreek in the always.dat, I just checked. Dunno if it really looks like that, but I would assume it does.

Edit: just extracted the file, it's texture is called 'eyeboy', so maybe that is it's name? Razz

The eyeboy thing is in always, I have found a lot of others as well, there is a clown, the dinosaurs (people know about those I'm sure) some guy with a top hat, at least 2 skins that were never used (one of sakura and one of some dead guy freak thing, no model to go with to my knowledge though). And much more.

The "dead guy" thing is "withered.w3d", if that's what you were referring to.

It's pretty interesting ingame, as it even has modeled fingers. Sadly, due to w3d's limitations, they just stand still.

The guy with the top hat is the character in RxD and in the EKT marathon server. "The Hard Nut, Mr. Tickles"

You just got the hard nut, Mr. Tickles
MSwindows just got the hard nut, Mr. Tickles

Lol and it is some 100 hp character with a shotgun and a auto rifle.

EDIT:

There is also a whole conversation in the begging of the always.dat that talks about the tiberium harvester's claws, and how deadly they are.

LOL, thats not a w3d limitation, thats simply a lazy Westwood EA animator limitation, if we wanted to we could redo all the 3d models, bone the fingers, and make those move to. Then the animations would just have to use them. I have been thinking for quite a while now about redoing the first person hand models so that the fingers could bend at the knuckles, but right now I'm not in the mood.

Most servers that let you !buy it call it "bush" I believe unless I'm mixing it up with another one.

I believe it's actually the mad hatter. That server just happened to name it that instead.

The main ones you can get from the menu are old news. I'm talking the things you find in there that are never used nor have seen before.

That's because they are not skin files, they are image files which happen to contain TEXTURES. And those same image files can therefore contain images of anything, same as a jpg file can.

The robots fighting are, IIRC, the original robot that the Chameleon model was based on, which was made by the WW team to enter into a robot battle thing.
