    Interesting, it used to work, but then again before he did his headbutt animation, and that was me playing as him.

    Now he does more of his grazing animation, but we had no grass ;_;

    That's nothing, on the first zombie server, you could play as an undead bison when you joined red :p Only, you couldn't walk, so you just ahd to wait for the blues to kill you :p

    Ill try if I can get them to dam you but I doubt its going to work.
    Edit: They seem to attack thin air if you replace its brain and they seem to crash if you replace their #Bison stuff.

    I could say the same thing, we've done some crazy stuff in the test build that isn't possible anymore.

    Yes, I've tried all of this already, It's because the attack is linked to the attacking frame in their sprite -> Geti fux'd it up.

    Yes, Chicken are planned and if you read the announcements many more are planned later on as well it seems for WAR and Overworld at least.

    I am hungry now... animals are a good idea in my opinion especially if you could roast a bison and eat it, fulfill the craving.

    So are you using the zombie actors or did the Bison actor get added but not "in game"? I know you could do it before now with by just putting sprites over the zombies but it was all kinds of messed up. :p

    Bison actor has been there for a while now.
    I tried it, but all it does is seizure.

    Shooting birds is fun, but it isn't the only thing on my mind.
    How 'bout a pet eagle that retrieves your arrows for you, huh?! :B):

    Would Bisons be fun on a public server?

    Honestly we know very little about them.

    We can see there cfg file but it's still a bit ambiguous (and this is good), it will be a surprise to see exactly how they behave. How they were made on this server IIRC was just a zombie file with a bison PICTURE, meaning it wasn't even a bison.

    I do know that they will eat grass, not sure if they need it to live or will move towards it, no idea on mountability in the future (I assume so for the lancer at least in WAR/Overworld).

    I also know that their destructive block choices is a bit... wide, and their damage when pissed is a bit crazy, as is their HP.

    And when you hit them, you get at least 5 coins. So if one "Spawns" you would basicly be swimming in coins because of there high HP.

    IIRC 50 HP, so that's 100 hits or 500 coins? :O

    They'll probably be kicking your ass when actually in though but I imagine trapping one and finding a way to bring them can be a cash 'generator' for an archer.
