Title: Ok, what's going on?
Post by: nopyo on April 02, 2009, 08:05:41 PM
First of all, why does this server exist, and why is it still up?

Second of all, WTH?

Yeah, I willingly clicked into the RickRoll server :P , but why does the banana graphic even exist?

I was thinking that April Fools Day played a part, but was the RickRoll the joke, or the banana, or both?

Plus, it's April 2nd already...

There's a line in the code for a 50% chance of getting a banana texture on april 1st. As for the rickroll server, that's just someone setting one up - probably for one day and having a 100% chance of getting the banan texture.

The bananas are funny at first, but they kinda get annoying after a while (~10 seconds), and they are very, very, unnecessary.

OMG MODDED CONTENT 204 DAY BAN

Speaking of which, I actually thought this was what would come up if the system detected a cheat/hack. I was messing with gravity, ball speed, and grenade settings at the moment, so I thought that the system thought I was hacking :P

On to my point: a special graphic/texture should come up if a cheat/hack is detected. Just for the lulz.

My school has paintball downloaded onto all their computers and we usually start a small pick up game in class a couple times a week. On April 1st I believe 3 or 4 of the computers had this bannana thing. Pretty funny to watch some people react to it

Happy April's Fools! Remember, if you saw bananas everywhere in Paintball 2...

static int easter_egg = -1;

if (easter_egg == -1)
{
    char *atm;
    time_t temptime;
    temptime = time(NULL);
    atm = asctime(localtime(&temptime));
    easter_egg = (int)strstr(atm, "Apr 01");
   
    if (easter_egg)
    {
        srand(temptime);
        //easter_egg = rand() & 1; // 50% chance it happens :)
        easter_egg = !(rand() % 5);
    }
}
