Flag is something that is true or false, so if flag_set("someFlag") means that it now true and all code waiting on it will resume.
Example: flag( "switches_synced" ) gets the value of a flag and flag_wait("someFlag") will pause the code till that flag is becomes true with the flag_set
These are a list of the flags that I'm seeing.
Flags:
target_teleported
target_teleported
rerouted_power
switches_synced
pressure_sustained
letter_acquired
passkey_confirmed
weapons_combined
thundergun_hit
Events: (With the "waittill or waittill_either " functions)
sounddone
between_round_over
switches_synced
sync_button_pressed
trigger
lander_launched
damage
weapon_fired
death
It is strange, I am calling them flags as that is what the code says, but it seems more like they are used to set up some kind of Observer Pattern

How about the stuff on the Random Reticules (in _zombiemode_weapons.gsc)
I can kind of understand that, but not enough.
And what about how much damage the Traps deal to the play? And the chances that any power-up is dropped on any level?
That all seems to determine what color of the smiley face. And the expression of it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Q8jlfN-o9U

Was looking though the perks and found out that they programed in random rare drops but its all disabled. It seems there is a lot of extra code of things they where trying to do but decided not to. For instance, there is a check for a rocket trap but it was never implemented. This just hints at some of the design process and how the requirements may of changed as they developed the code.
Time to write a paper, so thats as much investigating I'm doing for now. Post questions and I'll look at them later.

That's a lot of Zombie code. It doesn't relate to the easter egg, but its interesting. I can understand some of it, of not all of it. Can you translate some of the important stuff into English? i already know a lot of what it means (http://denkirson.proboards.com/index.cg ... hread=2555 has some important stuff that I can understand) Can you translate the rest of it?
Thanks for the files. What specific questions do you have? Its rather hard to define what is important.
As for the
level clientnotify( "sia" );
I found a lot of spots where clientnotify is being used, but no locations where it is being read. This leads me to believe that the map it self is reading it. At least its not apart of the code collection of 63 files you linked to.
I found this interesting. Different Zombie Challenges, pry written before Ascension. : sergei, quad, german, engineer, moss_big, dog, and pig (what lol) . I think (guesing) this is the mini 4 player arcade game as its the zombietron_main file.

I'm a software engineer and will answer questions about different aspects of the code. From what I can gather, the source for the scripts (code) is stored unencrypted and that is why it has been found and not the encrypted game code.
Note: I have not copied the code from the game as I don't have the resources or legal ability to do so. For this reason, I can only review code that is posted on this site.
The only way I see the DM Easter Egg Continuing:
I've stated in the past that the Easter Egg is complete as all the events in the script I have access to are compete.
Yet, if your holding out hope that you can do something with the DMs, the only possible chance for that is this line of code:
level clientnotify( "sia" );
No where else in the code is the function clientnotify used. This could mean there is some other code that listens for "sia" and does something. This is speculation, but its the only possible way that i see the DM Easter egg continuing.
So far I've only seen the code for the Main Easter egg:
Note: I formatted it from the code posted on the: viewtopic.php?f=60&t=7079 thread

The above code doesn't cover any of the radios or centrifuge, so there must be more scripts that I haven't seen.

mallen23, I see that you referenced wonderboy's theroy on your Operation Ω thread. I too another look at the code. The number 90000 only appears twice in the code. Once in the wait_for_combo function to determine if grenade splash damage is above 90000 to indicate that the dolls have been used.
The other use of 90000 is in the thundergun_check function to determine if your using the thunder gun and aiming toward the gurse device with a 10 degree angle tolerance. There are three origin values being used for this check:
self.origin: Where you are standing
weapon_combo_spot.origin: where the weapon combo spot is.
trig.origin: Value that is created in bhb_combo_loc_check and trig = Spawn( "trigger_damage", grenade.origin, 0, 15, 72 ); It is passed to wait_for_combo and wait_for_combo passes it to the thundergun_check function.
The only thing that is not known is what function RadiusDamage( trig.origin, 5, 1, 1, self ); does.

As i previously stated, I believe from what I am seeing that the Easter Egg is done. However this may not be the case as I don't see any scripting referencing the radios and how they spawn. This could mean that there is more code or that the radios are apart of the map file itself and not visible to us. To follow with good practice of code organization, it would be reasonable to believe that this is all the code regarding the Easter egg and that the Easter egg is complete.
I can't verify that this is the only section of code in the game as I didn't obtain it. This means that there are most likely more Easter eggs that haven't been discovered so I hold hope that more exist, however the DMs seems to be the end of the main Easter egg.
-
Already i want to point out a few things in the init:
teleport_target_event(); // This is the event for sucking the generator into the gurse device
reroute_power_event(); // The terminal you click on for power node activation
sync_switch_event(); // Monkey round switch event
pressure_plate_event(); // This is where you stand for the clock
lander_passkey_event(); // Sets up the passkey for the lander, such as luna
weapon_combo_event(); // The weapons hitting the gurse device by the four nodes
All the events that are being monitored have been found for the Easter egg, so i have to say it is completed. I didn't see any number that would explain how nextgentactics got stuck with only one set of weapons and reduced DM time.
Notes:
the wait_for_combo function seems to only requires each weapon to hit once: ray_gun_upgraded_zm, MOD_GRENADE_SPLASH >= 90000 for the dolls, crossbow_explosive_upgraded_zm. A flag "weapons_combined" is then set causing weapon_combo_event() to delete the casimir lights. The flag is only there to clean up the map objects such as the lights.
The flag "weapons_combined" isn't important, the fact that "level thread soul_release( self, trig.origin );" is called after the flag is set is.
So, Here is the ending of the Easter egg then:
soul_release( model, origin )
{
soul = Spawn( "script_model", origin );
soul SetModel( "tag_origin" );
soul PlayLoopSound( "zmb_egg_soul" );
fx = PlayFXOnTag( level._effect["gersh_spark"], soul, "tag_origin" );
time = 20;
model waittill( "death" );
level thread play_egg_vox( "vox_ann_egg6_success", "vox_gersh_egg6_success", 9 );
level thread wait_for_gersh_vox();
soul MoveZ( 2500, time, time - 1 );
wait( time );
soul Delete();
wait(2);
level thread samantha_is_angry();
}
soul_release -> wait_for_gersh_vox() -> reward_wait() -> DMs
In the lander_passkey_event():
No evidence that HITSAM & HYENA does anything at this time
The lander must be called, if the lander itself is activated, all progress is lost:
if ( lander.called ) {
....
}else{
level.passkey_progress = 0;
level.secret1_progress = 0;
level.secret2_progress = 0;
}
I confirm that there doesn't seem to be any use of the secret1_progress or secret2_progress at this time. (in the letter_grab function)

init
play_easter_egg_audio( , )
activate_casimir_light(int number)

I'm a software engineering student (close to graduating) and i decided to take a look at one part of this and give my two cents
I don't have access to the code so I'm assuming the above posted is correct. I added indenting to make it easier to read. As i don't know this language, I'm going to make some assumptions. See my comments in code as "//"
wait_for_combo( trig ) { // variable 'trig' is used as some kind of reference to store information in
// 'self' could be a way of storing information in 'trig' or to change behavior of this method/function/block of code
// 'self' could be a way of accessing other scripts like 'this' in object orientated languages
self thread kill_trig_on_death( trig ); //This looks as if it could spawn a new thread and run the 'kill_trig_on_death' block of code that can make changes to the 'trig' container
self endon( "death" ); //some function 'endon' is being called. It is unclear on what it modifies
//weapon_combo_spot is getting set, don't know what GetStruct does but I'm assuming its the gurse device location
weapon_combo_spot = GetStruct( "weapon_combo_spot", "targetname" );
/** This looks to be initialization of variables that will be set inside of a loop **/
ray_gun_hit = false;
doll_hit = false;
crossbow_hit = false;
players = get_players();
/** End of initialization of variables **/
array_thread( players, ::thundergun_check, self, trig, weapon_combo_spot ); //This can be some kind of thread sync for the trigger to run for all players.
while ( 1 ) //A never ending loop, rather interesting as there must be some way to end the loop. I'm assuming that this tread is terminated some how or the loop is broken out of.
//Does the current player have the upgraded thundergun?
if ( self GetCurrentWeapon() == "thundergun_upgraded_zm" ) {
/** Note self.origin pry is where your standing and weapon_combo_spot.origin is pry where the gurse device is. This means that you need to stand within 90000 units of the gurse device when your firing at it for the Easter egg to work. **/
if ( DistanceSquared( self.origin, weapon_combo_spot.origin )
/** This section just determines if your weapons , in this case being the thunder gun, hit the target that is the gurse deivice with a 10 degree tolerance to the point where you need to aim **/
vector_to_spot = VectorNormalize( weapon_combo_spot.origin - self GetWeaponMuzzlePoint() );
vector_player_facing = self GetWeaponForwardDir();
angle_diff = acos( VectorDot( vector_to_spot, vector_player_facing ) );
if ( angle_diff flag_set( "thundergun_hit" ); //The thunder gun has hit the gurse device. This implies that you only need to hit the gurse device once with the thunder gun.
RadiusDamage( trig.origin, 5, 1, 1, self ); //Add damage to gurse device total
//The rest of the code isn't available so I can't do more analysis.
Interesting to notes;
This is implying that you only need to hit the gurse device once with the thunder gun, but each hit of the thunder gun does add damage to the gurse device. I suspect that ray_gun_hit , doll_hit, crossbow_hit are set true later down in the loop.
The 10 degree tolerance and 90000 distance just determines if your close enough to hit the gurse device in this Easter egg (doesn't count weapon range) and that your aiming at it with the a tolerance of 10 degrees.
As the loop of code here isn't fully given, I can't conclude that the Easter egg is over.

this could be done below round 30. Reaching the 30's is complete in my eyes because your just wishing for all your zombies to be dead so you can add a round to your bragging rights, and gets so fucking repetitative/boring.
You do have a point, instead of being survive as long as you can, should it be survive to at least level 30?

I've been reading what has been found and thought it would be fun to issue a completion challenge. I'll try to keep the list up to date, but post if I leave something out.
The goal is to complete everything on the list in one game sitting. Post the round the challenge was completed, how long it took you and the order that the items where completed in.
1. Listen to all radios
2. Get the dolls
3. Turn power on
4. Launch Rocket
5. Blow up Rocket
6. Get nodes 1-4
7. Have everyone with all the perks
8. Spell HITSAM & HYENA as they could become something with a later patch
9. Play epic music (cause who doesn't like music when releasing someone from another realm)
10. While having everyone with all perks, complete final Easter egg to get DMs
(For toughs who want more bragging rights)
11. Get and upgrade every gun. (Just you, total of the group, or everyone in group completed)
12. Complete a perfect monkey round with everyone already having full perks.
13. Revive someone with the upgraded ballistic knife
14. Survive as long as you can

It sets the target_teleported flag.
When looking at this line:
PlayFXOnTag( level._effect[ "black_hole_bomb_event_horizon" ], level.teleport_target, "tag_origin" );
I looked up the following level._effect values. Note, I don't see the values being set like in other maps. I think that there is a file ending in _fx.gsc that sets what the effects do:
fx_zmb_light_floodlight_bright
switch_sparks
black_hole_bomb_event_horizon
gersh_spark
This is a very few effects (5) compared to the 75 in the pentagon map (zombie_pentagon_fx.gsc) . So going to assume there is missing code still.
I have a suspicion that this is using Function Pointers for the effects and pointers is something that i haven't used in a while and don't consider myself an expert on.
