Catch the Chicken is a multiplayer mod for the game of Kingpin made by Rat Instinct and his mod team and now updated by Monkey Harris.
It is a port of the Quake 2 CTC mod.
When the game starts a chicken will spawn in the map. Once the chicken has appeared, the players try to find and "catch" the chicken by running over it. Once you have picked up the chicken, you start scoring points and the other players try to frag you so they can take the chicken. The idea is to hold on to the chicken for as long as you can, until you reach the score limit and you win the game.
V1.2 has the following changes:-
Anti-lag system added to compensate for ping when shooting
Next map voting (enabled by "mapvoting" option in CTC.INI)
Bunnyhop disabling (dmflags 64)
The MOTD can be removed sooner by pressing fire
Map timer added to HUD
Notification of connecting players
Weapon reloading is disabled when the player has no more ammo for it
Models without chicken support are disabled (replaced by thug/chick with random skin)
Chicken respawns if it goes in a dangerous area (eg. trigger_hurt)
Fix to prevent spawning within another player
More Mod Information
While you're holding the chicken you cannot use any weapons. While you are fleeing from other players the chicken you are holding will drop feathers, thus leaving a trail right to your position. The chicken will also make noises while you are holding it and will have a coloured glow.
After the player with the chicken dies, he stops gaining points and he drops the chicken, ready for the next player (or the same player if he finds it first) to catch and score points.
