[FUN] MobArena v0.94.4.98 - Become a mob-fighting gladiator! [1.5.2]

garbagemule · May 6, 2013

------------------------------

MobArena 1.0: MobArena has come a long way since its first release, but many updates, bugs, fixes, features, and headaches later, I have decided to rewrite the entire plugin from scratch. The reason for this is that with the knowledge I have gathered along the way, it should now be much less difficult to structure everything for easier maintainability and flexibility. The end result? Hopefully an easier-to-use plugin with many more features. ETA? TBA.

What this means for the current build(s) is that no more features will be implemented, and only the most dire of bugs will be attempted fixed. The project will not die, but I will primarily focus what time I have on developing MobArena 1.0.

As always, I'll need some people to test out the builds as they come along, so feel free to hop on IRC for a chat and some testing I will be updating this section when new builds are ready, but the most recent will always be available on IRC.

------------------------------

If you enjoy fighting monsters for glorious prizes or just the sheer thrill of battle, you and your friends can now join forces against hordes of Minecraft evils in the exciting gladiator-style survival mini-game MobArena!

Heavily inspired by Deminetix' Fight-plugin, MobArena is a PvE-take on arena-gameplay, with a similar class-based system. Instead of fighting other players, you team up with them to beat oncoming waves of monsters, earning rewards in the process. MobArena can be played alone, or with as many friends as you like!

Features:

Fight oncoming waves of monsters

Play alone or team up with friends

Earn glorious prizes

Customizable classes, rewards and waves

Easy to set up

Extremely easy to use

Very few user commands

Supports Permissions and all major economies

Supports Spout

Supports Heroes

Note: When you post a bug report, please provide a stacktrace/error from the server log/console window. Post this stacktrace in either a pastebin, a pastie, or a CODE-block! The same applies for config-files, permissions-files, etc! Please don't put them directly in your posts, as they become gigantic and annoying to read. If you don't follow this guideline, I might ignore your post!

Wiki - Instructions, commands, FAQ, etc.
I have set up a Wiki for MobArena. It contains a bunch of information and guides on how to set up and customize arenas, an overview of all the commands, how to set up Permissions, as well as frequently asked questions.

New: MobArena now has its own IRC channel (#mobarena @ EsperNet). Click here for a web-based IRC client. Feel free to stop by to get help setting everything up if you really don't understand the Wiki and the instructional video, or to have a chat about MobArena (or anything else, for that matter)

Videos:
Getting started with MobArena, by Flamers
Flamers made this really easy-to-follow, simple video of how to get started with MobArena. It covers installing the plugin, defining an arena region and setting up basic leaderboards, as well as a few pointers for arena design.

Instructional video for setting up MobArena:

Note: This video was made for v0.67, but all the in-game instructions still work the same for the latest versions. The config-file has changed, so make sure to read the Wiki on how to set it up.

Review of MobArena by plugin reviewer jamescosten (v0.84):

Note: My nickname "garbagemule" is pronounced "garbage mule", as in "trash donkey"

Troubleshooting:
To avoid wasting not only your own time, but mine as well, I expect everyone to do some extensive troubleshooting before posting bug reports. What does this mean?

Try MobArena on a fresh server.
MobArena works perfectly fine when I release it. Sure, there are a few bugs, but it works. If it doesn't work for you, something is most likely wrong on your end. Set up a local test-server, and verify that MobArena works before claiming that it doesn't. When you have verified that MobArena does indeed work, you can start adding other plugins and settings until something conflicts.

Disable other plugins.
The first thing you need to do is disable all other plugins. If you can't reproduce the bug with other plugins disabled, you know that you have a conflicting plugin. Now perform a binary search on the other plugins, or if you don't know how to do that, just add a couple of plugins back to the plugins-folder, try to reproduce the bug, and if you can't, the conflicting plugin must be in the remaining set of plugins.

Write down reproduction steps.
Figure out the exact steps to reproduce/trigger the bug. I need precise steps, and as much information as possible, because there are often many things that could be going on. An example of reproduction steps could be:
1. Type /ma join
2. Punch the Archer class sign
3. Wait for someone else to join
4. Punch the iron block
5. Type /ma leave before the other player picks a class

Check the console window/server.log
Make sure you check the server.log file for any MobArena errors or exceptions. If you find any, copy the ENTIRE exception (including all the lines that say "at com.garbagemule.MobArena...") and paste it (with the other information) in a CODE-tag here in the thread.

Donations:
I develop MobArena for the fun of it and the positive feedback is all it takes to make me happy, but a few people have asked for a link, so if you're one of them, here's a link: Donate - You can donate as much as you want, even down to a few cents! If I get enough donations, I will spend the money on an extra Minecraft account to aid me in developing/testing/debugging MobArena

Changelog:

Version 0.94.3.24

Updated for CB 1337.

The repair-delay node is now unused! The reason for this is that it is now possible (with the release of 1317) to cancel block damage in explosions, and still retain the animation and sound! This also means that arenas should be fully pistons-compatible (for arenas that don't use soft-restore or force-restore)! I'm hoping to see some screenshots and videos of shifting arenas!

You can now right-click signs in the lobby! I finally found a super easy solution to the improperly updating inventory issue with right-clicking class signs. The result is that players can now left- or right-click as they please. This should solve all issues related to players not being able to choose classes, due to spawn region and WorldGuard/Factions/whatever conflicts.

It is no longer possible to warp out of the lobby.

New per-arena setting: final-wave - Allows for setting a final wave, meaning on that wave, the arena will end, regardless of how many players are alive.

v0.94.3.11 - Updated Register, built against CB 1240.

v0.94.3.8 - Added basic leaderboards.

v0.94.3.6 - Fixed MagicSpells support - MobArena no longer supports MagicSpells pre-v1.1!

v0.94.3.5 - Fixed a bunch of bugs introduced with CB 1185, as well as a couple of minor MobArena bugs.

Updated for CraftBukkit #1185

Updated economy support (now supports iConomy 6).

Added the three new mob types, Enderman/Endermen, CaveSpider/CaveSpiders, Silverfish. They can be used just like the other mob types in the waves.

Endermen cannot pick up arena blocks (this is why).

Endermen cannot place blocks in arena regions.

The per-class permission syntax has been fixed and changed slightly. The Wiki has been updated (clicky).

Fixed MagicSpells issues.

Redstone circuits now work properly in arenas.

Lightning now properly strikes on spawnpoints on special waves.

Fixed an issue where players somehow warping/cheating out of the arena world get kicked from the server when discovered.

Added MagicSpells support. Use the magicspells.yml file to ban certain spells from the arena either for the whole session, or only during boss waves.

Fixed the Heroes death conflict. MobArena and Heroes should now play nice together. Further Heroes support is planned for upcoming releases.

[COLOR=#1000000]MobArena will no longer support the discontinued Permissions 2.x and 3.x permission systems.[/COLOR] Recommended permissions systems include PermissionsBukkit (defacto standard) or PermissionsEX.

Added two new boss abilities: 'shuffle-positions' and 'flood'. Try them out!

Players disconnecting/crashing during an arena session no longer get corrupted data files due to economy rewards.

Weapon durability is now correctly set to "unlimited".

Item sub-types (cocoa beans, bonemeal, colored wool, etc.) now work again.

Players can no longer join the arena without first picking a class.

MobArena now works with spawn-monsters=false again.

Completely revamped the waves system! Undeniably the biggest feature in MobArena since multiple arenas in v0.92, the new customizable waves are guaranteed to bring much more awesomeness to your MobArenas. The waves system brings two new wave types, swarm waves and boss waves. The latter is a very elaborate feature, and the whole waves system has been given its own page on the Wiki. Note: MobArena will ignore all old wave settings, but use sane defaults.

Revamped the logging system. Instead of logging: true, you can now use logging: yml/xml. The logging system will now keep track of the last session only, but also maintain a collection of 'totals' for each arena. The idea behind these easy-to-parse files is making the stats available on server web pages.

Added SuperPerms/PermissionsBukkit support. Note that specifying mobarena.arenas.* and mobarena.classes.* probably won't work, but these nodes are given to everyone by default.

Added Spout support. Currently, the only Spouty thing MobArena does is print (some) announcements as notifications/achievements. This should limit the amount of "chat spam" that MobArena produces. Other Spout-features are planned, but don't expect something crazy. Note that MobArena does NOT require Spout!

Monsters will no longer target pet wolves. This is a major nerf to pet classes, but they were very overpowered as it was.

Fixed item amounts greater than 64 sometimes bugging out. You should now be able to put arrow:1024 for your Archer classes

Fixed players losing their stored items and/or earned rewards upon disconnecting from the arena.

Fixed blocks not restoring when burned by fire.

Fixed an issue with entry fees. They should no longer cause any problems.

Fixed slimes. That's right! Slimes that spawn as a result of bigger slimes splitting upon death are now considered arena monsters. This also means that Slimes no longer drop slime balls; as intended.

Revamped the repairing algorithm. It is now MUCH more sophisticated, and is capable of repairing not only signs and containers, but also torches, doors and beds. Redstone -should- repair properly as well, but it is still slightly buggy.

Added support for restorable containers. Registered chests, dispensers, and furnaces will have their contents stored upon arena start, and restored at arena end. This is useful for providing the arena players with chests with e.g. upgrades or food.

Added new commands (for the feature above) - /ma addcontainer <name>, /ma delcontainer <name>, /ma containers. These commands work much like the the spawnpoint commands. To add a container, simply look at the container and type /ma addcontainer <name>.

I'm asking what part of the error message you don't understand. I'm not being condescending, I literally want to know which part of it you don't understand. That way I can try to formulate it differently.

Been having this problem on every build after the first rec build and even the second rec build.

No I
No I want to said when I type /ma join it should to me to lobby but it do not the plugins tp me to sea and I died lol

I saw you reply "same as u" to the guy above you, assuming you were having the same problem. For this problem I'd suggest you make sure you have the right "world:" setting in your MobArena config.yml

My-worlds. It has always worked with my worlds, I've been using mobarena since 1.7 alpha.

yup, and it's not possible

if a monsters' target is further than 16 blocks away, the monster freezes in place until its target gets within 16 blocks

Unfortunately not. Well, there may be, but I have no idea how. Please let me know if you find out

rtoompuu · Aug 23, 2012

I found a BUG in which when someone is in the mobarena and exits the mobarenas region (/setregionp1/p2) without /ma leave minecraft crashes and the server is then un enterable, and when ever you attempt to join the server minecraft crashes.

edtrud · Aug 24, 2012

Can someone give me there custom config.yml file? I know it will be a pain in the rear to redo it all

shanko · Aug 25, 2012

I have a suggestion for the plugin! How about a new part of the config where we can configure mobs that spawn riding other mobs. Charged creepers riding spiders for example, or skeletons riding ghasts. Tons of possibilities! :] I know its possible to do this via commandbooks spawnmob command would love to see it implemented in Mob Arena

binxce · Aug 25, 2012

It is not working it will let me join a game but it will always say internal error when i use a /ma command this started happening as soon as i updated mob arena and it wont let me play.

ACStache · Aug 25, 2012

@kdawg1496 you can delete that line from your announcements.properties file, it's not used anymore

It means Vault was not found, and thus economy rewards will not work.

Hop on IRC and type "abilities?" without the quotation marks.

Hi, I am having trouble with the boss abilities. i think i have set up the config file correctly, ill have that below. i noticed that there was a folder created called abilities however it is empty. Everything else about the bosses is fine, the models, the health, the waves, its just the abilities. I also noticed when i start my server it comes up with some errors which i will also have below.
Here is my waves format, everything works apart from the abilities.

I can see that the abilities apparently do not exist, is there some sort of file i have to put in my abilities folder?
I have read the wiki about this, either i missed something entirely or i have done something wrong
Any ideas?
Thanks, Darkantos

Hi, I am having trouble with the boss abilities. i think i have set up the config file correctly, ill have that below. i noticed that there was a folder created called abilities however it is empty. Everything else about the bosses is fine, the models, the health, the waves, its just the abilities. I also noticed when i start my server it comes up with some errors which i will also have below.
Here is my waves format, everything works apart from the abilities.
Code:
-snip config
Here is the error i get when the server starts.
Code:
-snip warnings

Hop on IRC and type "abilities?" without the quotation marks.

Here's some feature I hope that can add in this plugin.

1.Disable some type of wave at certain points.
Example:
(def2 will stop spawning after wave 10)
Code:
              def2:
                    wave: 5
                    stop: 10
                    type: default
                    priority: 2
                    monsters:
                        zombie: 9
                        skeleton: 10
                    growth: medium
                    frequency: 1
2.More boss at the same time(split the boss health point to their number)
Example: 2000point for 1 boss → 1000point for each boss(boss number:2)

3.More boss ability, here's some idea
--Summing mobs
--Poison aura(or slow / bline / weakness...etc.)
--Invincible(for few second)

4.Adjustable chance how often boss uses their ability(set all to 100 means they have equal chance)
Example:
Code:
boss1:
              wave: 10
              type: boss
              monster: spider
              health: low
              ability-interval: 3
              ability-announce: true
              abilities:
                            lightning-aura: 10
                            disorient-target: 40
                            fireballs: 50
5.Configable different class for each arena(very important)

6.Decide which spawn point will the boss come out.

Thanks for the awesome plugin

I can answer a few of these for how to possibly do it now:
1) Each recurrent wave has a priority. When 2 waves want to spawn on the same wave number, MobArena picks the one with the higher priority value. What you can do is make new waves that override the one you want to stop. Based on your example you can make a new wave that starts on wave 11 and has a priority of 3 with the same frequency

5) Each arena, as of MobArena v0.94.4.79, has a "class-limits" section in the config file. You can limit how many players can use each class in each arena. If the value is -1, any number of people can use it. If the value is 0, no one can use it, and if it's above 0, then that many players can use that class. Likewise, you can just not include the class signs in the lobby of the Arena, that way they can't actually pick that class to use.

6) This is possible. There was a new feature added to waves where you could specify which spawn points a wave uses. This goes for bosses as well
Quote from the Github Wiki:
Added new per-wave module: spawnpoints: spawn1, spawn2, ... (default: unspecified).
If this module is present, only the spawnpoints listed will be used to spawn monsters on. This should make it possible to specify certain spawnpoints for certain bosses or entire waves. Note that the string is a comma-seperated list of spawnpoint names. Example:
Code:
single:
    def3:
        type: swarm
        wave: 11
        monster: zombie_pigman
        spawnpoints: s1, s2, s5, s10
Likewise, Bosses will spawn out of any spawnpoint that has the word "boss" in it. So if you make 20 spawnpoints labeled s#, and 2 spawnpoints labeled boss#, the boss will spawn out of one of the boss# spawnpoints (unless you use the above method)

Sorry but the search function is not working for me atm (error message from the forum).

How Do I create/use a leaderboard? I read through here and have seen a few post that let me think that this function is implemented somehow.

Thanks in advance...
(I did search the wiki as well without luck)

smacker171 · Aug 31, 2012

Hey, i love your plugin, even made a Kino remake for it. One suggestion... could you add for example a /ma pause
command for when you wanna take a break (I get to round 50+ consistently) That would be awesome. Thanks in advance!

y1985 · Sep 1, 2012

My Arena went missing like it never setup before. Is it because I didn't name the Arena?

If this was been ask before, sorry for that.
