ZCTC - Version 4.1 Released!!

That's right, we have a VERSION now!

Wiki wrote:doom Catch the Chicken (ZCTC) is a multiplayer ZDoom modification similar to SkullTag's CTF.

The objective is simple. Randomly spawned in the level is a chicken, the idea is to get a hold of this chicken and keep it for as long as possible to score points. However, the clucker isn't easy to keep a hold of, as the other players will be hunting you for it. The chicken won't keep quiet either, which makes it even easier for the other players to get you. Oh, did I mention the chicken leaves a trail of feathers too?

ZCTC will run on any map, as long as certain script numbers and tags aren't used (this will likley change later).

This version has NO powerups, egg items etc like the previous sham did. That caused alot of bugs and Hotwax lost the source for that anyway.

Thanks Phobus, for testing this thing with me.

Please post any bugs you happen to come across. I'll make a txt doc when i've raped every bug out of this.

I'll just vouch for this. It was great fun, and there were only two of us

Haha, I recall playing an old beta of this with Cutty and Wax... and I got my ass kicked thoroughly. XD Great fun, though...

Damn, we need to get some servers running with this... I'd love to play a few quick games but it's kind of hard without anyone to play with.

Also, was I the one who ripped the chicken graphic from a screenshot? I vaguely recall doing something like that... maybe I can stick a Doomguy hand on it to make it a bit more user-friendly.

This would be soooooo funny to play over IdeSE!

Seriously, it's a great game.

The chicken (when you have it) graphic looks somewhat...unrealistic, though...

Anyone, feel free to make a new chicken graphic and you'll get credit. I'm in #dmclub if anyone wants to play. Also, you can contact me on msn.

I got incredible amounts of boredom, so for the hell of it, I "doom-ified" the chicken graphic:

That helps a bit hopefully.

This sounds alot like an idea i had for a new gamemode for Skulltag called Hissy Hogger. I oughto try this thing out.

Hmm I just noticed that you lose all keys when you have the clucker. That'll have to change.

Btw i'll gladly accept any maps anyone decides to make. Infact I think i'll make a seperate wad with some on like the original plan.

Edit: I've just combined the old Cluckforts and Jack and Jill maps into one. I'll probably add some more stuff before releasing the next version.

ill be happy to make a map if i get some free time, could you pm me the scripts i must NOT use?

Cutmanmike · Post by **Cutmanmike** » Sun Sep 10, 2006 5:03 am

Currently they are:

301 to 311, 399 and 200.

Tags that cannot be used are:

1000 to 1008, 1010, 1020.

This will probably change to much higher script numbers and tags later to prevent conflicts in certain wads.

Wow i must play this!

sounds like new and original style of gameplay

EDIT:Maps need to be bigger

Cutman i could make CTC map? but without custom textures

Cutmanmike · Post by **Cutmanmike** » Sun Sep 10, 2006 9:48 am

Sure, i'm currenty asking for maps all over. Also, the maps DO NOT need to be bigger (maybe map04 but it's supposed to be cramped). If you play on multiplayer you'll see why the maps are so small.
