I'm a huge CS fan and tried my hand at mapping before I moved on to server plugins. When CSS came out and didn't have the chickens, I thought it would be fun to make a map where the chickens had been found and, instead of rescuing hostages or preventing a bombing, the CT's had to rescue the chickens. I finally completed a release version of cs_chickenrun this month.
After the release, I was contacted by Eric from BringBackTheChickens.com. He wants me to make a map specifically designed for BBTC in the hopes of bringing more attention to his cause, specifically more attention from the people at Valve. Apparently, he has both of the original creators of cs_italy supporting him in his "cause." I would just like to know, what are the chances that the chickens will ever be added to CS:Source? It seems like a lot of the missing classic stuff is important to the CS fans. I've seen so much about as_oilrig, that I'm writing a server plugin to allow as_ style maps to be played. I've just reached a working beta stage now using one of the HL2 models as the VIP. Not that I'm saying Valve should add as_ maps. That would make my plugin useless :) I'm also considering a plugin to allow players to choose from 1 of 4 custom models, similar to how CS had the 4 models per team (and yes I will use the Valve provided menu system). I've rambled, but I guess mostly I'd just like to know if adding the chickens to cs_italy is something that would even be considered. Thank you, L.
