Title: New to the forums!
Post by: Fromatic on October 21, 2009, 20:09:53
Hey everyone, names Fromatic and I'm intrested in helping everyone search for clues to the glyphs and such. I've found a few interesting things on my ventures threw New Mombasa.

Interesting thing I've found so far.

-I was able on one occasion able to make the three faced SI make a sad face in District 4. I took all the explosive boxes from the area stashed them in the little area and simply blew them up. Right when they blew up the top face blinked sad and then simply disappeared. I've redone this 10 times and nothing has happened and on other several attempts the 3 faced SI isn't even there. I have no idea how I activated it or what I did for it to do that.

-Also I noticed that were the three faced SI is that there are three Stonehenge buildings surrounding district 4 and the other district that's the exact copy of it, both these districts are exact copies of one another and surrounding those, like I've said are three Stonehenge. Which lead me to believe that you need four players in order to achieve anything. I'd also like to mention when I was in District 4 with the three faced SI glyph that when I walked threw the four column structure in front of it that I heard a "tone" ping sound when I went threw two of the four slabs of rock.
  -And pictural visual as to what I'm trying to say.

-Lastly I found a image awhile ago of a hacked image of the tops of New Mombasa and a picture showing a energy sword on the top of one of the roofs, I need to find the picture. It's small and the sword itself could really be anything but it looked interesting all the same. Trying to find it.

P.S. I have not played co-op on ODST so I'm not sure how far apart the players are allowed to walk and if you can have four players in co-op.
P.S.S I've found a area were only covenant lights glow and lead me to a pile of dead elites, and there are no Audio files around for me to acquire. Then again I do not have all the files, I need 6 more of those files
P.S.S.S(lol) I do not have a mic I can talk to people on, I can use my guilds ventrillo and I also have AIM. I have my laptop next to me while I play Xbox Live so I can talk to people.

Nice 2nd post! Hit up Knights of SGP!!

I guess right off the bat I would ask did you get a Pix of the sad SI glyph? or a WAV. file from the sound you heard?

4 player Co-op? yes.
4 players in different district? no.

Ill try and get the picture. No idea how I would get the sound and convert it.

[edit]: I didn't know you couldn't get into different districts, sucks because all the things I pointed out seemed close enough to one another for people to venture forth without loading with all of the people there.

I might suggest you check out ColdGlider's video about 'bumping' districts.  It was one of the first confirmed glitches and has also served as a useful testing tool for other ideas.  It should doubly assist you in exploration and testing since you're not connected to Live.

Welcome to the endeavor.

Ah, sometimes I miss small details like that.  Which is clearly why I'm involved in all this!

No mic! No problem!

A few of us have IM and a Comp. near by, Texting would work. Besides 1 less player talking isnt such a bad thing. Just don't ask us to go to the dark areas of MS to cyber! :)

I also have gathered the explosives together and have some fun, but didn't think to collect them next to the Super Glyph...maybe I'll try that.

Last night Enigma and I tried the explosive thing with the SI triglyph and we were unable to replicate your result.  Can you get a screenshot from your original success.

Sure thing, I'll try and get the image and the sound, I found a old recorder and I can try and record the sound you hear as well.

Alright, I'm still trying to get the glyph to do it again, no luck as of yet, still working on it but I found this image on the forums from bungie and this is apparently a picture from ODST, personally I don't know. See what you guys think.

I am pretty sure this has been debunked as not being a sword...

The more interesting thing is the hoover board...

If you can just post the file to your fileshare and give post a link, I can go through and use a capture card on it.

I thought I heard something that might be considered a tone or whatnot in the triglyph area, but I cant seem to reproduce the effect. I also couldn't get the dumb triglyph to change to a di- or monoglyph... agh!!
