Is the Screamer Potentially Hackable?

[bananaman300]

In many games, things are taken out but their code is still left in there. Examples include the famous arwings in ocarina of time, other enemies in twilight princess, and of course, Missingno. A lot of other pokemon are also only available via hack or real life events, in the gameboy franchise.

So my question is, is it possible the screamer may be hacked some day and we'll get to see or maybe even use it in game play?

I couldn't find any topics about its actual potential existence.

[Deadly]

It was talked about and scrapped. You never know, but I really doubt it. It will probably be modded someday

[Howler]

Lets hope so eh

[stungravy]

They scrapped it way early on. I doubt there is any coding related to it at all, but it probably wouldn't be all that difficult to make one. Just make a new model with a few animations and set it to witch AI, except it sets off a car alarm instead of killing dudes.

And your name worries me, as my file name for my avatar is bananaman256. SIR WHO ARE YOU REALLY!?

I want it so when you shoot a boomer a hunter is launched out of it at a survivor with a 1 hit instant kill :|

Wait... Wut?

[one of them]

No. The model is nowhere in the Left 4 Dead folder, there is no trace of coding related to it, and the sounds for him are also gone.

Yeah but the sounds for "Zombie dogs" are still in there lol

Missingno
I'm 99% sure that Missingno was planed to be implemented in the game (at least by one developer), because the fact that you have to do something special on a special place in a special order can't be without purpose!

[KalybR]

HOT COFEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

[Stilettos]

Yeah but the sounds for "Zombie dogs" are still in there lol

the "zombie dog" sounds are the same sounds the hunter uses. i don't know why people keep pointing this out.

LOL at person with no idea how programs work.

Anyway, The fact that the Screamer is in the code at all or not is really dependent on how clean Valve is. However, considering how clean Nintendo was with cleaning beta information out of Ocarina of Time, the Screamer probably still lies within the code, even though it's quite obvious his model, animations, or textures do not.
after all, there are a few console commands that modify screamer behavior.
Now, whether the fact that'd it'd be easy or even possible to turn that old code into something workable, that's way out in the realm of speculation. I'd like to see a team of decompilers try, though.

i know, seriously. why do all these retards think they're something other than the hunter.

that explosion sound though... that's from the zombie bomb thrower. pretty much nobody knows about him

ya i'm also pretty sure he was meant to be found

[LordTommy]

IT would be cool if there was any codes for it.

I know the developers said they would originally have the helicopter pilot get infected, and tell you he didn't feel so well, but then they scrapped that idea because apparently players felt discouraged after surviving the whole campaign to find out their savior was infected.

if you look through the sound files though, you can still find the mp3s where the helicopter says he doesn't feel to well and turns into an infected in the chopper. So I have no idea.

[darkmessiah]

ya i'm also pretty sure he was meant to be found
I've also read that it was doing those things in that order that accidentally messed up a few variables in the code, and accidentally produced missingno

[shadowstreak]

First it was
tootly
then
'pashion'
now it is
missingno
YOUR MESSING WITH MY HEAD!

Back on topic though, you could make it probably..

[Keptron]

I can, I will change Boomer sound and add the ability to call horde without vomiting!!!!

I call him: Screaming Fat Pig

[Zdencos]

No. The model is nowhere in the Left 4 Dead folder, there is no trace of coding related to it, and the sounds for him are also gone.

no they are not.... as you can see, there is horrifing scream of screamer at... left4dead/sounds/nightmaresounds/screamer..... it's pretty haunted and scary... wish this was intead of boomer :-(

[Stuffinator]

LOL at person with no idea how programs work.
LOL at a person who thinks I have no idea how programs work! seriously, you don't know me or what I do at work, so better stop guessing!

btw. I don't think that the screamer is hidden in the code, because it was said, that the concept of the screamer was messed up.....and concept means, that it was just an idea!

[darkmessiah]

YOUR MESSING WITH MY HEAD!
lol, I'm sorry man, I must be possessed

[bananaman300]

Actually there's a commentary that says it was in the game originally but the testers didn't like it. Kind of like what LordTommy said about the pilot.

Wouldn't it be sick if it came out on dlc?

missingno


Uhh who is that?

[Porkchop]

I'd love to see him, or some kind of form of him return in a later campaign/update if they decide to release anymore (which I'm positive they will).

Say they decide to create an insane asylum type campaign, he'd be perfect, or rather, his model/look would. He could have some kind of new ability or purpose.

[mshield]

that explosion sound though... that's from the zombie bomb thrower. pretty much nobody knows about him

Couldn't that just be from the days when the boomer exploded, doing just immediate damage?

[Jesus123]

If someone does try and redo the screamer, I would be glad to help remodel him.
