[FUN] MobArena v0.94.3.24 - Become a mob-fighting gladiator! [1337]

Seems like I was kicked from irc channel after asking if this could be done and trying to make it into request, here goes another try I understood its not possible to automatic end monster arena after certain amount of rounds due to "You can't :3 That's probably why.", would it be possible feature in future releases?

@CoffeeOD - You weren't kicked. Here's the log entry:

Code:

CoffeeOD (Mibbit@cable-104-248.kymp.net) Quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)

It's definitely a possible future feature

if you want the points system (which I love) I suggest a region definition. Once he implements selecting your region by click, not player location. This is how it'd work.

Defining Region:

/ma setregion <regionname> [p1|p2]

After the region blocks are picked, we must set save states.

/ma setstate <regionname> <statename>

Save states are snapshots of the region. Saved data of what is in that area. I know this is possible because auto generation saves the terrain it overwrites.
So let's say we have a simple design, after 10 waves this wall opens up. Savestate closed and open define the wall states.

When the match starts, the wall's save state is closed and looks like so.
=Wall Region
=Air
= Other Arena Wall





After 10 rounds, the wall changes.





It is now on the open save state and turns to air.

Now this is an example config:

*PLEASE put wave percentages and awards per arena, I want a zombie arena for nazi zombies recreation and a skeleton arena sniper fight.

Info: Arena is named default. Wall region that will disappear after 10 rounds is named Wall1. Another wall region that will close off after 10 rounds is Wall2. Save states for both are closed and open.

savestates:
default:
Wall1:
closed: 0
open: 10
Wall2:
open: 0
closed: 0

If this could be expanded to every X waves you could make the special waves have a diamond floor or make boss waves lose all lighting. You could even make a boss ability change the arena state to a nether save state.

This idea could be expanded further so that this section holds pre and post round effects. Then in the wave configuration have save state changes for that round only. So after 10 rounds the walls change, but on boss waves, they both open only for that wave.

Even further than that! Make spawnpoints add and delete in a save state like manner. So when a balcony becomes accessible, a new spawnpoint could occur on the second floor.

I HIGHLY suggest you work on these things one at a time. So leaderboards, then per arena waves, then save states, then boss save states, then one wave states, then spawnpoint states. Or whatever order you see fit. I wish I knew bukkit coding and could help you out, but at least I got ideas.

Odd, I got almost instantly disconnected after sending that msg, so that lead me thinking I was kicked (didnt exit the chat myself, maybe Mibbit decided it was my time go) :/ Thanks for clearing and taking in request

help whenever i use the command /ma setregion p1 or /ma setregion p1 it comes up with some of the commands in chat. whats going on?i realy want to a as arena with this plugin

Do you get any errors in your console when you start the server/use commands? Did you read the Wiki/FAQ as well?

Leaderboards!
Now that I've got your attention, the latest dev build of MobArena, v0.94.3.8, has basic leaderboards functionality! That's right, one of the most requested features has finally been implemented (somewhat)! I encourage everyone to download and try this build, slap down some leaderboards and let me know how it goes, and what you think.

What are leaderboards? They're basically signs that display data about the arena players. They can track kills, damage done/taken, hits and swings, classes and waves. The functionality is extremely basic right now, and only works for the last session, but I just wanted you guys to have a go at it and try it out before going any further with it.

I made a "short" video on how to set them up. I may ramble a little bit, but it's 7:30 AM and haven't slept yet. If anyone wants to make an ultra-short video on how to set this up, feel free to do so

Alright, here's the video:

Here's a screenshot guide:

And here is the list of valid stats (case-sensitive!):

Code:

class
lastWave
kills
dmgDone
dmgTaken
swings
hits

Remember, top-left sign: [MA]<arena>
Other stat signs: [MA]<stat>

The matrix/panel/rectangle must be complete, and there should be no signs to the right of or below the leaderboards signs!

no i didn't.and by the way about your plugin i was looking at it about 5 mins ago and i got it. it's realy cool.i like wolf plugins

Wanted to report that it is possible that the changes you made to mobs not attacking classes' pets, is causing confused monsters or minions from MagicSpells to not hurt each other at all, effectively nerfing just about any good mage class.

@garbagemule I might go and make a video on how to set everything up from scratch, including a basic guide to building an arena

hi i like the plugin great job!!too bad it doesn't work for me,i wish i knew whats wrong with it (on my server ).

hi i'm ganna look at your server and play on it cause mine can't work with the plugin cause some reason.my user name is Nicholasexp don't make me a op unless you trust me if you don't i don't blame you cause who would trust a random person.

@garbagemule - i mean ops.txt ;p

Can you add a feature where you get rewards after each round for "Staying Alive" in the arena?

@Bloobubba it will possibly be added in the future

ok cool!

Hello, thanks for the plugin, but i cant make it work properly. It has LOTS of bugs and i mean it! First as a wave starts and everyone dies waves end, but when we start another match its like theres 2 waves at same time!!! and it increases each time we try to play. Its like we start and it says: Wave 1 starts and Wave 10 starts at same time!... Another bug is that players cant select classes at lobby when they are in spawn(small bug). Also im really interested how to make IConomy 6 rewards working couse when i write at rewards for example: every: '3': money:0.20 or Coins:0.20 or Dollars 0.20 nothing works. Theres another huge and annoying bug. when player leaves while being at lobby with stuff and logs in back his stuff stays and he doesnt count like being in lobby. thats how they steal stuff. none of them gives any errors except the last error, but i will post it only if you reply on my help request.

This is fantastic! Working wonderfully so far. What happens if there are more than 4 people in the arena? Do I simply create an additional row of blank signs?

@Robertas279 you need to use $ rather than the name for currency. If you post up your config file we might be able to track more problems down.

yes! each row added of blank signs is another 4 people listed. I'm pretty sure that's how it works anyways

Just gonna tag a couple of people which I know use Heroes, just so there will be no confusion.
@some1 @misutaanime @KubaBVB09 @kahlilnc @Exidous @Cenarius
These version of MobArena and Heroes work together:
MobArena v0.94.3.8 and earlier + Heroes b399 and earlier
MobArena v0.94.3.9 and later + Heroes b400 and later.
You can find the Heroes builds right here

@Robertas279 - Waves going double: Can't reproduce the problem, so do some troubleshooting. There's nothing I can do to find the bug if you can't give me more detailed information. Chances are your setup is completely out of whack, or there might be a small plugin incompatibility. No reason to be aggressive Lobby and spawn: This is not a bug, but a safety measure in Minecraft that I have no control over. Move your lobby or remove the spawn protection - problem solved. Monetary rewards: If you'd read the Wiki thoroughly (), you would know that, like Flamers says, you need to use the dollar sign, $, to denote money. Stealing items: Again, I can't reproduce this bug - it just doesn't happen for me.

@teegee543 - Yes. Every row of signs allows up to 4 players. So if you have 40 players, making 10 rows of signs should fit everyone on there. Edit: Ahh, ACStache beat me to it! ;D

thanks
Post your config.yml and we'll see if maybe there's an error. use Pastebin or [ code ][ /code ] blocks

I found an island that I thought was cool so I just put a wall up around it and turned it into an arena. I didn't put up any torches though, so when it gets dark stuff spawns. I guess I'll just have to bite the bullet and put up some torches, or glowstone.

Also, not game-breaking or anything, but your plugin doesn't play nice with eMob. I have creeper spawns turned off, no creepers in my waves, but it seems like that's all that spawns on my island arena.

doesnt require permissions.. using bpermissions

Hey, long time no post here..

Anyways, I'm using MobArena version 0.94.3.6 on build 1185, but there seems to be an issue with protecting my arenas? I remember previously, a while back, players would be able to destroy blocks/place them/do whatever, and when the arena finished, all the changes would revert back to how it was before it started. But now I've noticed that the changes do not revert - after the arena has finished and throughout all other games many of the changes are still there. Is it supposed to be like this?

I do have protect: true in in my config.. but I'll keep trying to get it working.

Thx for the Update

@SayWhat1 - Interesting with the spawning. The MobArena code does the following: Check if the spawn happens inside the arena region, if not - don't interfere. Otherwise (meaning the spawn is inside the region), the event is cancelled if the arena isn't running, and uncancelled if the arena is running. In other words, if something tries to spawn in the arena, and the arena is not running, the spawning will get cancelled (assuming no other plugins interfere). So I need to ask, is your arena region correctly defined? Try to post the coords-section of your config-file in a CODE-block here.

@chaseoes - Hi man! Indeed long time no post Good to see you're still using MobArena! Could you please post your config-file in a pastebin? Also, I'd like to know if the changes aren't reverted in all of the arena, or if only certain changes don't revert - i.e. is it in certain regions the changes don't revert, or is it only specific changes like liquids not restoring or something?

so i tried PEX, didnt setup the whole cfg at all, can still type /ma join (not being op, other could also)

anyone else has this problem that no permissions are required?

i dont want guests in guest-world to be able to join mobarena on member world.....

I have noticed that they don't spawn while the arena isn't active, only when someone's fighting. Otherwise, it works like it's supposed to.

@strontkever - Are you taking the mobarena.use permission away from groups you don't want to have them? That is, are you actually writing "- -mobarena.use" or "- -mobarena.use.join" in your permissions file?

@SayWhat1 - Looks like your region is well defined. Well, MobArena only blocks spawns when the arena isn't active, so maybe I can add an extra check - still, any custom spawn events (that is, spawns made by other plugins), I can't block.
