Monty Python Easter Egg in WoT

Thanks to EndlesNights for this one :)

Well, this works for EU and NA version of the game, not sure about RU.

Check the World_of_Tanks (your WoT folder)\res_bw\scripts\common\Lib\email\test\data folder – there you will find a file called audiotest.au (sound players should be able to play it, Winamp does) – in case you are wondering where it is from, it’s from this Monty Python video.

Testing sounds with Monty Python – how terrible :)

    Nobody expects the Belarussian Inquisition!
    Our chief weapon is SerB…SerB and nerf…
    Our two weapons are nerf, SerB…and ruthless TKing
    Our three weapons are TKing, nerf, SerB…and an almost fanatical devotion to the Donkey
    
    Our four…no… amongst our weaponry are such elements as SerB, nerf…. I’ll come in again.

        A real shame that most of the Guys here don’t even know who/what Monty Python is…

No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!!!

“NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition” and even fewer people get it right. Shish, where is a pedantic bastard when you need one.

Ahhh….yes I dont expect that.
And the point of it being there?

That’s funny. I met Victor K. in LA a couple years back at the ESPN zone event just before launch (@ E3). I showed him Monty Python’s “How not to be seen” sketch, to show him what I thought of camo in WOT. He didn’t get it or was not amused (he actually said he didn’t get the humor in whatching people explode). My I-Pad speaker wasn’t loud enough to be heard over the din. He was also being pestered by fat wierdos from a defense company trying to get him to invest in arm mountable combat computers.

Yes, I’m sure Victor K. is responsible for 100% of the coding in WoT. That explains why patch delivery time is so long.

Diabolical laughter, diabolical acting…

:)))))

And what about strange emails named msg_XX.txt like

I tried making it a Gif File but failed. Does anyone know how to do that with Msg_07?

Testing Python scripts with Monty Python, why not :)

I just wonder whether WG has permission from the copyright holder to distribute that audio snippet or if it was dealth with the “how terrible” solution :D

This is actually part of the Python email library, AFAICT. WG has nothing to do with this.

  In that case no problemo :)

Confirming SEA setup has the file as well.

RU too

soooo whats this?

Spanish Inquisition will nerf you to death…..

well, at least someone at WGing has a sense of humor. that was great

Quite a stupid easter egg, and yes it’s also in Russian client…

Bottom of same folder has a .GIF banner :D

And now for something completely different.

No one expected that.

It’s not actually WoT code; it’s part of the test code for Stackless, a version of Python with lightweight threads. Presumably all of that stuff was just dumped in there because it’s easier to maintain stuff like this when you avoid as much as possible modifying the vendor code.
