RELEASED Chicken Gun [Code, Video]

Mod Name: Chicken Gun
Version: 0.8

Purpose: A chicken gun that, in a hilarious manner, discharges an egg projectile that turns into a robot chicken. Currently, it uses dirt as the only requirement to craft the gun, which can be made anywhere. This is not balanced or fair gameplay, it's just my method for discovering how the configuration files come together to produce something complex like a gun with projectiles and a spawned monster.

Please watch this video to see it in action:


I've attached the files that will allow you to replicate it. Unzip them into "\assets\mods\neurisko". This is important because the sound files use an absolute file path.
add a line to player.conf in the tier1 section:

Code:

    { "item" : "chickengun" }, 

Then just open up the crafting window with c if you have dirt on you. You have dirt, right? Dirty dirt.

Release Notes:
v0.8:

• Sounds.
  
• First version with a version number.
• First zip release.
  
• Chicken graphic flaps wings and opens beak when "shot".

To Do:

• Add particles to exploding egg.
• Better chicken sounds.

Many thanks to the Chucklefish developers and the folks in the IRC channel for their help while we have fun banging our heads against the code.

 

Premiere Pro CS6 or Sony Vegas.
Nice mod btw.

 

Thanks!

 

Hilarious Mod... But this could be used to get LOTS of pixels.
So why not nerf the chicken pixels?
so 1 pixel? or even better a CHANCE to drop pixels?

 

Well...
IT WORKS?!

 

it crashes when i try to fire...

 

It's not compatible with the latest version of Starbound, Offended Koala, because of some gun configuration changes. All guns have to be changed because of this.

I will release a new version of the Chicken Gun sometime this week, but please consider this broken for now. Sorry! The hazards of beta!
