BA Chicken Defense V2.56 (BA7.81)

[Super Mario]

Hey is it possible to fork it and put it into other mods?

[smoth]

Yes, chickens used to be part of zk(then ca). This is a fork of that and rts uses a fork of this version

[Super Mario]

No updates for this?

We (the BA dev team (actually just Beherith and me)) are considering in merging Chickens into main mod. There are some arguments against it (very reasonable ones), but if we do it, it'll make further maintenance easier.

Does that mean that in springlobby the "game" column will show "BA 7.xx" instead of "BA Chcikens xx"? Would not be a problem, just unpractical... (have to look more closely to the games name I guess... no sorting ...). Would it be a game option in the options tab, or how do I have to envision this? (sorry - no technical background in mods)

Exactly like that. That's why TheFatController didn't want to include chickens into BA. The other reason was that many people don't play chicken mode at all, so the mod is 4.5MB smaller.

Exactly like that. You can take a look in XTA, ZK, Adv. BA and other games that have chicken mode to see how it's activated.

Updates?

I was told not to integrated it by FTC. Unless told otherwise It may be a bit for this guy

[dcore221]

since Beherith took over chicken defense has been abandoned

wish TheFatController was still here he would look after chickens for us

Just because you don't see it... You think he is doing nothing with ba. Please checkity check yourself befo you wreckity wreck yourself foo!

Of course you could do something but it is much more fun to make accusations about others being lazy instead of looking at yourself >:I

Too hard to understand? I don't see you doing anything get to work pleb

[dcore221]

and you wonder why the community is falling apart?
always very friendly here.

[smoth]

let's see:

since Beherith took over chicken defense has been abandoned

So beherith should work slavishly on stuff for you? TFC didn't do anything after he did the initial varient of chickens. There was nothing being maintained.

how about you put some work in Beherith?

you act like behe is doing nothing. Ungrateful words spoken by someone who doesn't know what he is talking about

wish TheFatController was still here he would look after chickens for us

FTC is here, there is nothing to look after, chickens is fine...

and you wonder why the community is falling apart?
always very friendly here.

You act as though your behavior is above reproach while you lament how others are unwilling to be your slave.

yes you are what is wrong with this community. A rotten cluster of people who only take and offer nothing in return. You could offer to help in exchange for the knowledge(to update it to run with the current) which is a small exchange for easy work but it's ok you want to blame behe while you are unwilling to make ANY effort. It is lazy aholes like you that remind me of why I don't help you people.

Lol you're a moron.

@smoth:
Teaching people how to act in forums while calling them assholes and stuff in every second post is a bit funny, no?

The line in question


Get this and use it to open the lua file.

now you will see numbers on the left, you will go to line 271 and paste it here. I can then show you what is what.

Pro tip: it's a lot easier to fix the problem for yourself than to have some else to fix issue for themselves.

Thanks
