Monitors

There are a huge number of monitors throughout the game containing lots and lots of information, some of which may or may not be relevant.



Labscreen3

 * The screen texture is stored in Steam\steamapps\sourcemods\BMS\materials\lab\labscreen3.vtf (mod release), Steam\steamapps\common\Black Mesa\bms\bms_textures_dir.vpk -> materials\lab\labscreen3.vtf (Steam release).
 * The same texture has been seen in the Half-Life: Source Ultimate Definition mod.

Dr Horn's Cafeteria/Pizza Message

 * Seems to be a reference to the location where we discovered Code B.

Binary code

 * The binary when translated reads the same as the plaintext - JENN0_BING, MORE NUMBERS with the addition of a line saying 'lol' and one undetermined line.
 * JENN0_BING is one of the dev aliases.

Text

 * A barely legible screen, but text has been recognised as taken from a New Scientist article.

Dr. Sezen's computer monitor
// I heard Dr Horn was on the rampage again. I have an awesum idea, I shall yous my lee7 // programming skillz to send him a batch file wat crashes his computer for like 10 mins. // That will teach him to keep // telling me to fix things. Stupid level designers overusing the entities in maps, its not like us coders // dont warn them about the possible repercussions of overusing things like ambient generics // how were we supposed to know they would lower the limits in the new sdk base... // I found another of those odd pizza messages again today, i have a feeling its related to whats // on the board over yonder, im new though, so maybe its something on going. Going to watch Star // Trek tonight, s04e03 i think. Should give me some ideas for Code. @Echo off:crash start goto crash
 * This monitor was first found in the Steam release of Black Mesa.
 * Dr. Sezen's desk, where the monitor can be found, is located in the common office area where you meet the guard in the QE chapter (map bm_c2a4e at coordinates 775 -1397 417).
 * The screen texture is stored in Steam\steamapps\common\Black Mesa\bms\bms_textures_dir.vpk -> materials/models/props_office/monitor_screen_on5.vtf.
 * A document with the title "Awesumz" can be seen on the screen.


 * "the board over yonder" might be the c2a4x_labboard15 whiteboard, which is found nearby.
 * The Star Trek episode referenced in the text might be the Star Trek TNG episode s04e03 "Brothers" (transcript).
 * Other items visible on the screen:
 * A HyperTerminal window containing the text: "This is a terminal test."
 * An error message saying: "The Windows password you typed is incorrect."
 * Calculator
 * Phone Dialer
 * If the keyboard by the monitor is used, the monitor bluescreens with an error sound, sparks, catches fire, and eventually a point_message "FIX IT DENIZ!!!" is displayed in front of the monitor.
