SPACE CHICKENS

This is a conversion of Space Chickens, a Quake 2 model by MrSoft (Matthew Stephen), ported to UT with the permission of the author. 

As most of the Q2toUT conversions, Space Chickens is not a "perfect" conversion, for example it does not support for the UT weapon, but at least it has the chat icons and a "proper" skin for the Q2 weapon 
(I cheated somewhat with that one, but the weapon does look good, and anyway it's better that having feathers wrapped around the weapon :)

The model is quite fun, just don't get angry with your teammates if they stop to peck or lay an egg...   

Please send any feedback to: mdisaster@galactica.it


CONVERSION NOTES
Skins: 		4 (Cybor, Suit, Stoopid, Psycho)
Team Colors: 	Yes (added by me, so if they suck I'm to blame, not MrSoft !!! )
Chat Icons:	Yes (used the Q2 originals with some image processing)
UT Weapon:	No

NB: The original chicken.txt file by MrSoft is included in the archive, and the UMOD will install a copy in the Help folder under your UnrealTournament directory. 

Software Used: Q2Modeller, Crusher, UnrealFX, IrfanView, Micrographic Pictur Publisher, Ued 2 


INSTALLATION NOTES
The installer will add Chicken and ChickenSkins to the ServerPackage section in unrealtournament.ini, this way if you want to run a server you need not do anything else. (but people joining the server will still have to download the model, or install it before joining).

However, you may want to remove those lines if you join a server with the CSHP aimbot protection installed, since CSHP will consider suspicious any package not included in UT, or explicitely allowed by the admin. This is a problem common to ALL custom models and skin. 
To disable the lines just add a semicolon in front:

;ServerPackages=ChickenSkins
;ServerPackages=Chicken    

This way you will be able to reactivate the lines with a minimum of hassle.
