White dragons chicken mod

sort
[I]Tluszczeboy 13 years ago There are bugs with the unit "white dragon" in the chicken mod. First bug: They spam everywhere, even when there's no mex. Many games were lost due to a spam very close to secured singularities in the back of the base. Second bug: They do not leave any egg when they die. Any chickens but the queen should leave eggs when they die. It's a very hard unit to kill and I expect it to leave an egg with lots of metal. For instance a wurm leaves an egg worth 150 metal. Maybe an egg from white dragon should leave 500 metal? +0 / -0
[I]Tluszczeboy 13 years ago Err, replace "mex" with "nest" or "burrow". I was doing too many things when I wrote the above post. +0 / -0
[Crimson]Rathlos 13 years ago is this my mod ZKC? or just regular Zero-K? +0 / -0

[LAKL]11041 13 years ago Spam? Swarm chickens only spawn on burrows White dragons shouldnt be spammed. you get like one or two a game. +0 / -0
[I]Tluszczeboy 13 years ago Sorry for my English. I'm talking about zero k with planet wars now. So regular Zero-K. Change spam by spawn. By the way you get much more than 1 or 2 per game on suicide with a couple of people playing. More like 7 as a bare minimum. And they do spawn everywhere (just spec a game and take a screenshot of when they appear. I see no correlation with the nests) What about the eggs? Chicken eggs bot make our life very difficult due to that. There should be some eggs and there is none. +0 / -0
[I]Tluszczeboy 13 years ago So... no idea what's wrong with this unit? I've played a game today where we were 2 humans teams vs chickens. A white dragon appeared in the back of the human ennemy team and blew their singularities. There was no nest there, nor anywhere close. Damn annoying bug. +0 / -0
jiero 13 years ago its not a bug, just because on a smaller map you pushed too far +0 / -0
Histidine 13 years ago White Dragon spawns are not tied to nests. They spawn anywhere sufficiently far from player units (assuming there's room there). (and if the attempted spots are all invalid after 100 tries, it just gives up and uses the last spot) +0 / -0
[I]Tluszczeboy 13 years ago This is very weird. I know that if you have sight of view on all the map then a nest can spawn into your base. But on big maps when there are tons of space where we don't have units/radar. I'm talking for example of the map chicken nugget and comet catcher redux. We have the front where it should be, tons of room for chickens. 0 nest in our base and suddenly a white dragon spawn right in our back 1 cm from a singularity. It blows everything and we lose the game that we were doing great. So no, I'm more than 100% sure we have no units covering the whole but only the front and our entire base. +0 / -0
cleanrock 13 years ago I have seen this a few times too .. it ruins chicken games. I looked into the scripts and i suspect this happen on hilly maps because TestBuildOrder in SpawnMiniQueen will fail because the foot print of mahlazer is big (8). If my theory is correct perhaps the testBuildingQ variable could be set to something smaller than mahlazer (Planetary Energy Chisel). Fyi, SpawnMiniQueen is used to spawn a dragon, SpawnMiniQueen and SpawnQueen are identical, they retry 500 times before giving up. +0 / -0
Histidine 13 years ago Good idea, I'll use a smaller test building with more slope tolerance. +0 / -0
