Care to share some?
Well like I said, they're not particularly impressive, and I'm sure you've seen them before; they're mostly just items like lockpicks and multitools hidden away in dark corners of the map. Although one quite big one I missed is in the first Shadowcode map, where there's a crawlspace underground leading to a few goodies, and a spiderbot (next to the medbot hut). Also in the next map, by the area with the hoverbots, if you jump on top of a crate thing, you can jump into some vents and find some armour and stuff.

Like maybe a message hidden cleverly in the terrain. That can only be seen in-game at a certain angle or something.
A very good idea; I'm currently going through the textures, looking for anything interesting. So far I've come up with a 'summon Phasmatis' texture, and although this isn't the secret, it's the sort of thing we should be looking for. Also, where in the game is this? I've not seen it before.

This is what I originally thought, but surely the devs couldn't be that cruel.

Hmm. I'm onto you.

On another note, where are these textures in the game?

#1 probably didn't make it in, but see if it's somewhere around Smike's container in ABI. I had plans for that, but I don't think they ever panned out. #2 is a portrait of Ghand from the articles, so if it was used, it'll be in Ghand's office. Again though, it's probably one of those things we neglected to implement. The third one is in the Slums subway station.

How can I miss that, but find the gas mask up there lying in an impossible place. :ashamed:

Don't really recall hoverbots on map2. Are you confusing it with the third map? In that case I *probably know the location you talk about* (or not...).
EDIT: Guess not... But it was map 3, not 2. Question though; how the hell do you get there? Lvl 4 speed aug doesn't get you high enough, and there ain't no crate anywhere to get to there, unless you have micro-muscles.

I suppose it should be somewhere in DXI. I heard someone mention it, but never saw it myself. Did saw Summon Jonas though.
Did you find "Jonas Sux" in ABI exterior and HTTP Gamespy 3 (level 4)?

I know that vent, it's just before the fifth terminal in the OSC (Shadowcode quest), summon Phasmatis was supposedly near summon Jonas, but I've never seen it either.

I agree; it's very difficult, but completely possible. I used the muscle aug to grab a barrel from the hoverbot area, then went up the lift. Unfortunately you can't jump whilst holding something that heavy, so instead I devised this geniuas technique: Place the barrel a few feet in front of the edge of the wall. Then face in front of the barrel, so the crate stack is 90 degrees to your right. Then jump whilst strafing right, and once you're in the air, frob the barrel to pick it up, and (hopefully) land on the crate stack. Then you can jump on the barrel, open the grate and jump inside.
And not even a skill-point bonus <_<

No I did not; where is this? I think I know the texture you mean (is it some sort of graffiti?)

And I found the summon phasmatis bit.

For some reason, imageshack makes your images smaller, but on the wall it does say 'summon phasmatis' right next to my reticle/cursur thing.

Or something.

Am I making sense?
Yep.
Sounds like the perfect job for the wiki also.
'Course the obvious question arises what is considered a "secret"?
