Chicken Farm

Battlezone 98 Redux Mod Competition

Comrade! Our troops on the front are starving! If we are to win the fight against the NSDF, we need to feed our men. General Karnov has ordered us to begin harvesting the native martian chickens for this purpose. You'll be piloting a specially fitted Tug equipped with the proper apparatus for this task, including an egg laucher and a feather cannon. Use your tools wisely, and act quickly! If we do not succeed here, we will never win this war.

Your mission objective is to collect as many chickens as you can, as you compete against other tugs with the same goal. To do this, your vehicle is equipped with a chicken collection and delivery apparatus, once you have collected 25 chickens you will have enough to drop off a Chicken Crate at your Stockyard. DO NOT drop off your crate out in the field, or at an enemy stockyard! You will only be rewarded for crates you properly deliver.

As you are competing against other tugs, you are equipped with some non-lethal weaponry to aid you. Your High-Velocity Egg Launcher will fire an egg from a chicken with enough force to temporarily disorient any vehicle it hits, though it will unfortunately eviscerate the chicken in the process. Your Pneumatic Feather Cannon will fire out 2 chickens strapped to a modified splinter mortar, which will rapidly pluck the chickens of their feathers in a blinding cloud that will block the path of your opponents. These weapons are both costly, so use them wisely.

Good hunting, comrade!

Chicken Farm
Version 0.1: Uploaded to Workshop.
Version 0.2: Fixed scripting error related to player score and ammo count.
Version 0.3: Added an INF file for the feather bomb.
Version 0.4: Fixed scripting error that made scoring proportional to the number players.

This map features two custom objects, a chicken and a chicken crate.

Future updates will improve the chicken crate model so that it can be used as a soviet storage crate by other modders. I plan on adding a custom vehicle to replace the tug soon, I'd have had it done already if not for some complications with exporting models for the game. I may also add a custom model for the stockyards.

Please let me know of any errors you encounter while playing this map! It has been tested and works as intended but a few things may have still slipped through the cracks.

This map is recommended to be played with 4-8 players, such that the scarcity of the chickens enforces more competetive play.

The scoring system is based on kills, 5 kills are awarded for each crate delivered to a player's stockyard. In order to keep games from running for too long, it is recommended that the host enable the kill limit and set it to around 20-50 kills. That said, I am not the boss, make the game as long as you like.
