I need help in finding a plugin. I petition all those who can help me and I surely would be grateful.

I looked all over my library of plugins, udog's hotline site, and a few internet sites, and I cannot seem to locate a plugin called 'Atomic Chickens'.

I Already checked out 2 (two) plugins called,
Killer chickens, another called chickena

This plugin was really cool, It took the ambient 'chickens' and turned them into 'Atomic' chickens.
The chickens would just randomly walk around the map, and when you shot these chickens, they exploded with a huge and I mean HUGE ground ripple effect.

I just need this plugin to duplicate the settings, but tone it down a lot. I want that ground ripple affect.

I may have ripped it from some plugin and re-named it
Atomic Chickens myself for archiving the settings, but does anyone remember this plugin?

What was it really called, and/or where can I download it?!

In Advance, Thanx to All Who respond.

What was particularly special about the ground-ripple? Surely you could take a wight or warlock ripple and play around with it, ground-ripples are fun :)

Thanx for the fast response. Outside of the very exaggerated ground ripple effect, it is exactly what I need. I also checked out 'Exploding Chickens','Nuke Wight' plug ins, but it is not what I'm looking for. This will be for SF2 so it cannot be a 'Mythical' looking effect.
I'm pretty sure the monster/projectile tag (s) said 'Atomic Chicken'. I'm in this pickle 'cause my external Hard Drive went Tits-Up and I'm trying to re-build my lost 'Custom' local folder.

Ozone, I'm happy with SF2 (B17) from the 1.5 folder off of udogs beta folder. The thing is I don't create tags, I manipulate them. I open up the plugins and extract tags from the different folders. If I see an explosion sequence that I like from someone else's creation, I open up their Plugin and extract tags into my 'Custom' Local folder.

So for atomic chickens I look for...

1) Atomic Chicken-Monster tag (in monster folder) and put that tag into my monster sub-folder in my 'Custom' local folder.

2) Atomic Chicken-Projectile tag and so on, anything connected with the Atomic Chicken name goes into it's perspective folder in my 'Custom' Local folder.

I open them up in fear and see how they were created, I
apply the effect in my stuff. Sometimes I cannot duplicate the desired effect in my stuff.

So, In my case I have a 'Base' chicken from with no tricks, I have to build the explosions in. With the Atomic Chicken plugin, I could just open up the monster tag and write down all the settings and apply them to my explosions. I need all those settings. I have no idea how to create efx from scratch.

I DO NOT WANT exploding chickens, I need to open this plugin to write down all the settings it took to create the cool ground ripple effect.

My intent is to to have all explosions in the game, be it grenade thrown/launched, Airstrke Bomb, anything that explodes, with a realistic ground ripple effect.

I have done this partially when my Hard Drive died. And with-out backing up the Atomic Chicken plugin and the work of converting the projectile tags.

I had just found this plugin within 2005 somewhere on the net looking for Myth II plugins. It sat around for a few months before I opened it up and discovered how cool it was. Last month I went to manipulate all the "Exploding" projectile tags in my "projectiles" sub-folder in my 'Custom' Local folder, and my Hard Drive died taking all my work.

Anyways, thanks for the shout out on SF2_(v1_0)testL
coming over right now for the link.
Thanx
