Just in case someone missed these textures called : b_casino_ornament_001_base.jpg b_casino_sign_001_base.jpg (I forgot if I (or someone else) already posted these. If so, shame on me and a big sorry!) :p
Nope, because no one would be silly enough to believe they could win a virtual jackpot in a virtual casino.
In the sense that the whole of EU is a casino - yes, I agree with that, but a virtual one with fruit and oxo machines? I don't think anyone would play in it.
I'm guessing he pulled it from some old PE files. They contained a lot of textures used (or sometimes just included but never made it into the actual game).
If I fake stuff its done in a more professional manner or totally obvious. Feel free to download anything close before VU 10.0 and you can SEE these textures in a file called texture.bnt. Just use a tool like "Dragon Unpacker" to extract readable file formats. You will be amazed about your finds. Promised. Or search for VU3.4 on the net (torrent?) and you will be even more amazed. Todays VUs are "crypted" and use broken rar file headers etc., but you can have fun looking at these files as well. Also promised. :p It has been taken from (very) close around VU 10.0. Our current VU still has tons of unused textures, like the well known beverages, foodpacks etc. which exist since VU3.4. As I dont use PCForum anymore, I wasnt sure if I had shared this special moment with you already.
I dunnnnno....... those Foul and 1st Gens dancing on the catwalk were very believable. I think we need to see more of this. <beg>PLEASE!</beg>
maybe the unused textures are used on the test server and the casino sign is what the devs see when they log in there? Would have to be the only reason I can think they'd leave all that junk in the already bloated files they make us download?
I think in that case he did. Some deft splicing between mob models and ava dance routines I suspect ;)
I'd even suggest there's a televator from their test area to the Big Room, and that casino sign is hanging right above it. (According to Kim, the televator from the Big Room to their test area is... that dead fish on PA beach) edit: yay, link visibility is now improved :)
