[MECH/FUN] AngryWolves v1.5 - Randomly spawn aggressive wolves, Hellhounds! [1.5.2-R0.1+]

Mike Primm · May 7, 2013

AngryWolves - Randomly spawn aggressive wolves, now with Hellhounds!
Version: v1.5
Verified on 1.5.2-R0.2

This plugin offers the option to have some (or even all) wolves that spawn be already angry. In addition, angry wolves can be substituted for a portion of the normal monster spawns, but (optionally) only in appropriate biomes and on appropriate terrain. Both of these options can be enabled at the same time (or individually, as before), and individually configured. Wolves can also be configured to have loot drops.

A portion of angry wolf spawns can, optionally, be made to be Hellhounds! Hellhounds are flaming, fire-proof angry wolves - which mostly makes them look a whole lot cooler . Unlike regular angry wolves, though, they can spawn in The Nether.

Settings are controlled at three tiers - global, world-specific and polygon-defined areas within specific worlds. In all cases, the settings of the more specific tier, if defined, override those of the higher tiers (area supersedes world, which supersedes global settings).

The settings file includes the following attributes:

spawn-anger-rate - Percentage of normal wolf spawns that appear as angry wolves. Disabled if zero.

mob-to-wolf-rate - Ten times the percentage of monster spawns (zombie,creeper,skeleton,spider) are replaced by angry wolves (e.g. 50 = 5%, 1000=100%). Disabled if zero.

spawnmsg - optional message to broadcast to all players in world where an angry wolf has spawned, due to either method (limited to once per 60 seconds per world). Color codes can be included using &0-&F format (similar to Essentials).

spawnmsgradius - optional parameter that, if set above zero, limits the sending of the 'spawnmsg' to players within the provided number of blocks of the spawn event

creeper-to-wolf-rate, skeleton-to-wolf-rate, zombie-to-wolf-rate, spider-to-wolf-rate - when defined, these values override the mob-to-wolf-rate for the corresponding mob type (e.g. creeper-to-wolf-rate, if set, will define the rate (in tenths of a percent) of creeper spawns that are replaced with angry wolves)

mobtowolf-ignore-terrain - when defined and set to 'true', this option removes the biome and terrain restriction on mob-to-wolf spawn replacements - angry wolves can replace spawns in any biome or terrain when this is set.

wolf-loot-rate - when defined, this integer is the percentage chance that a dying wolf drops loot (default is 0)

wolf-loot - when defined, this integer list is the set of one or more item IDs to be picked from randomly when determining a wolf's loot drop. Duplicate IDs are allowed, and makes the given item more likely to drop (default is [ 344 ], leather).

pigzombie-to-wolf-rate - when defined, this value overrides the mob-to-wolf-rate for the pig-zombie spawns, and sets the rate (in tenths of a percent) that pig-zombies will spawn as angry wolves instead. Angry wolf spawns in The Nether are always Hellhounds.

hellhound-rate - when defined, this value indicates the percentage of angry wolves that are Hellhounds (flaming, fire-proof angry wolves).

wolf-xp - when defined, the number of experience orbs dropped for kills of normal wolves

angry-wolf-xp - when defined, the number of experience orbs dropped for kills of angry wolves

hellhound-xp - when defined, the number of experience orbs dropped for kills of hellhounds

hellhound-fireball-rate - when defined and above 0, this is the number of seconds between fireballs hurled by hellhounds (default= 0, no fireballs)

hellhound-fireball-range - when defined, range of hellhound fireballs

hellhound-fireball-incendiary - when defined and set to true, hellhound fireballs can cause fires

mob-to-wild-wolf-rate - when defined, rate at which monster mobs are replaced by normal (wild) wolves, in tenths of a percent (e.g. 100 = 10%).

pup-on-sheep-kill-rate - when defined, rate at which wolf pups are spawned when a wolf eats a sheep (in percent)

villager-werewolf-rate - decimal percentage of villagers that become Angry Wolves during the full moon (they return to normal at the end of the night) (new to 1.2)

angrywolf-hunts-villagers - boolean that, if true, causes Angry Wolves to hunt villagers (like Zombies do) (new to 1.2)

In addition, you can configure a "full moon" night - one night out of every N (where N is the setting for the days-between-fullmoons attribute), 'anger-rate-fullmoon' percent of the untamed wolves will become angry. At the end of that night, all angry wolves (even ones angry before the night started) will revert to normal. The attribute for this include:

days-between-fullmoons - if non-zero, the number of daytime periods between 'full moon' nights (e.g. 1 = every night, default is 8, setting to zero disables the feature). Note: unlike other attributes, this attribute can only be defined at the world and global level - no area-specific full moon cycles! Setting this to 8 will result in the lunar cycle matching the MC 1.0.0 lunar cycle.

'anger-rate-fullmoon' - the percentage of already-spawned wild wolves that turn angry at the start of the 'full moon' night (if zero, feature is disabled). Note: tamed wolves are unaffected.

'fullmoonmsg' - optional broadcast message sent at the start of each 'full moon' night. Color codes can be included using &0-&F format (similar to Essentials).

'fullmoon-mob-to-wolf-rate' - if set, this is the 'mob-to-wolf-rate' used during 'full moon' nights - choose to spawn more angry wolves during the full moon!

'fullmoon-stay-angry-rate' - if set, this is the percentage of angry wolves that stay angry at the end of a full moon night (default is 0%)

The "wolves in sheep's clothing" option is also available. Disabled by default, the option allows for a probability that a sheep, when damaged by a player, turns out to be an angry wolf in disguise. This feature is controlled with the following attributes:

wolf-in-sheep-rate: chance that a sheep is an angry wolf in disguise (in tenths of a percent). Default is zero (disabled).

wolf-in-sheep-msg: message sent to player that damaged the wolf-in-sheep's-clothing. Color codes can be included using &0-&F format (similar to Essentials).

The "wolf-friends" feature is also available. This is a Permissions based privilege that, when granted to a user, makes them not be attacked or targeted by angry wolves. This feature is controlled (globally, per-world, or per-area) with the following attribute:

wolf-friends: if set to true, the 'angrywolves.wolf-friend' permission is enabled, and players with that permission will not be attacked or targetted by angry wolves. Note: if enabled on a per-area level, the location of the PLAYER determines if the friend permission will prevent attack.

Permissions 2.7.x or later has been tested. Without Permissions, Bukkit Permissions ('Superperms') will be used instead.

To install, simply copy the AngryWolves.jar to your plugin directory and start CraftBukkit normally. A sample configuration file, config.yml, will be created in the AngryWolves subdirectory.

Features:

Multi-world support

Global settings, per-world settings, and per-area settings

Set percentage of wolves that spawn already angry (spawn-anger-rate > 0)

Set percentage (x10) of monster spawns to replace with angry wolves (mob-to-wolf-rate > 0)

When replacing monster spawns, will only do so in forest and tiaga biomes, and only when spawn is over grass terrain. mobtospawn-ignore-terrain can be used to disable this restriction.

Optional world-level broadcast messages when an angry wolf is spawned

Optional "full moon" nights - one night out of every N days-between-fullmoons, a settable fraction of all wild wolves go angry for the night, but return to normal in the morning.

Optional "wolf-in-sheep's-clothing" - settable probability that a sheep damaged by a player turns out to be an angry wolf in disguise!

Optional "wolf-friends" privilege - if enabled, players with the 'angrywolves.wolf-friend' privilege, via Permissions or GroupManager, will not be attacked or targetted by angry wolves.

Optional spawn message radius, to limit which players are warned if an angry wolf spawns and a 'spawnmsg' has been defined.

Option polygon-defined areas within each world that can have their own settings (defined as list of 2-D coordinates - 2 for rectangle, 3+ for polygon).

Optional mob-type-specific mob-to-wolf rates, allowing the rate of mobs being replaced by angry wolves to be set for each mob type (spiders, skeletons, zombies, creepers - and pig-zombies)

Optional loot drops from wolves - controlled rate (using wolf-loot-rate), and list of item IDs to be randomly picked from (using wolf-loot). Option for angry wolf specific loot and loot drops (using angry-wolf-loot-rate and angry-wolf-loot, respectively). Option for Hellhound specific loot and loot drops (using hellhound-loot-rate and hellhound-loot, respectively).

Option for a settable percentage of angry wolves to be flaming Hellhounds (using hellhound-rate)

Option to set different mob-to-wolf rate during full moons, using fullmoon-mob-to-wolf-rate setting (percentage x10, like mob-to-wolf-rate). Also, optional settable rate that angry wolves stay angry at end of full moon (in percent - default 0).

angrywolf-health and hellhound-health settings, which control the initial health of these spawns - used to make them less wimpy than normal wild wolves!

hellhound-damagescale - allows damage received by Hellhounds to be reduced (it is multiplied by this settings, so making it below 1.0 reduces damage).

angrywolf-pop-limit - allows limit on total population of Angry Wolves and Hellhounds on your server (mob-to-spawn sidesteps the normal spawn population limits).

Enable hellhounds to attack with fireballs (at settable range and rate) that do (or don't) cause fires

Configure normal wolves, angry wolves, and hellhounds to drop experience orbs

Add options to make normal wolves more common - mob-to-wild-wolf-rate (like mob-to-wolf-rate, but it causes normal 'wild' wolves), and pup-on-sheep-kill-rate (percent chance of getting a wolf puppy when a wolf eats a sheep)

Color codes can be included using &0-&F format (similar to Essentials) in any custom message.

(new to 1.2) Optional rate for villagers to become werewolves (Angry Wolves) on full moons - which revert back to villagers in the morning

(new to 1.2) Option for Angry Wolves to hunt villagers (like Zombies do)

ha nice idea =)

Joeyy · Apr 4, 2011

Really like this idea. Also i got an idea:
If its night it should spawn more angry wolves then on day

Mike Primm · Apr 4, 2011

Yep - I definitely was shooting for more night spawning. I'm still verifying it, but it seems that wolves follow an "animal" style spawning pattern (that is, on grass and in moderate-to-high light levels), which is why I wound up adding the "asaltmob=true" option. With that set, I wind up (randomly) replacing some (10% times (angerrate/100) of the time) of the 'classic' monster spawns with angry wolves instead - but at the same location that the other spawn was going to occur. I further only consider the replacement if-and-only-if the location is a forest or tiaga biome, and the location is above a grass block (to keep wolves from spawning in mines or buildings and such). Since monster spawns require low light levels, I figured this would result in them being a more "classic" mob spawn (and, also, result in them NOT happening in places where monster spawns were disabled, such as by other plugins).

At present, a given world can only have one or the other mode (that is, either you get some of the normal wolf spawns that turn angry, or you get some fraction of your monster spawns 'converted' to angry wolves), but I'd be happy to support both (with different rates for each), if anyone is interested.

Plans for the next version include a "wolf-in-sheep's-clothing' option - basically set a chance that sheep (maybe of only certain colors? Just black ones?), when attacked, turn into angry wolves. Seemed like the sort of thing that would be kind of fun to do at a low percentage rate

I'm also playing with the idea of being able to mark locations that have higher 'anger rates' - perhaps an area that is supposed to be a graveyard or ancient castle or the like - probably something that would tie in with WorldEdit-style cuboid selection.

Dreadreaver · Apr 4, 2011

maybe add a function to have all neutral wolves become angry wolves at night until daytime again

Mike Primm · Apr 4, 2011

That would be fun I'd been kicking around a "werewolf" notion, as well, but hadn't settled on a good way to approach it (having a player BECOME a wolf would be a blast, if anyone knows how to do it without a client mod!). Maybe the "wolves go angry at night" thing could be set to 1 night out of every N, and include in a broadcast message for when it's a "wolf moon". Far as I can tell, making a wolf "unangry" could be done by just deleting and respawning the wolf at the same location and with the same health, which should be easy enough.

Dreadreaver · Apr 4, 2011

that would be so great! having random angry wolves at day is not what I want, having some angry wolves at night + normal mobs would be fine, but having ONE night per month with ONLY angry wolves, that would be truly epic!

Kahl · Apr 5, 2011

it would be cool if wolves were friendly during the day but attacked at night definitely would use it if you implemented that

GiantCreeper · Apr 5, 2011

This should add a little more variation to my survival server, Nice plugin

Xemnas33 · Apr 5, 2011

Aww. I thought the name implied this would be some sort of Angry Birds spin off ^_^

Nice plugin

OrtwinS · Apr 5, 2011

Is it possible to enable only the full-moon, and make EVERY wild wolf instantly aggressive that night?

Mike Primm · Apr 5, 2011

OrtwinS said: ↑

You should get that behavior using the following settings:
Code:
# Turn off anger-on-spawn and mob-to-wolf-spawn
spawn-anger-rate: 0
mob-to-wolf-rate: 0
spawnmsg:
# If you want one full moon per "month"
days-between-fullmoons: 28
# If you want one every night, use
# days-between-fullmoons: 1
#
# Makes 100% of candidate wolves angry
anger-rate-fullmoon: 100
# Broadcast message
fullmoonmsg: There is an ill moon tonight....

OrtwinS · Apr 5, 2011

Thanks! My users will not like this.... like I intend it.

blastermaster555 · Apr 5, 2011

You should add ">(" to the plugin name if you can.

freeflo · Apr 5, 2011

Could you make it so Wolves attack a specific group? (Group Manager/Permissions?) So we have group 1.Citizen and group 2.Underworld. Make the Wolves neutral with one group and always attack the other?

That's a cool idea - I don't know how to do it yet, but research projects are fun

Mike Primm · Apr 7, 2011

Just finished up the v0.3 release - added option for some sheep to be angry wolves in disguise, revealed when the sheep takes damage from a player. I'm going to look at adding the requested option to make angry wolves not attack certain groups of players (based on having a Permissions-based attribute, like maybe "angrywolves.wolffriend").

Matt114 · Apr 7, 2011

Love it! Gonna make certain nights like COD Zombies FETCH ME THEIR SOULS!!!

freeflo · Apr 8, 2011

I can't wait for the amazing release. Keep up the great work!

Mike Primm · Apr 8, 2011

Updated to 0.3.1, as part of verifying CB 670. New build fixed a small issue I found on CB 670 with wolves reverting to normal at the end of a full moon, but the code should be fine on CB 617 or later.

fernferret · Apr 8, 2011

You should add the keyword "wolf" to the title of this thread, so someone can find all the wolf plugins with one search term!

Great Plugin!

anon · Apr 9, 2011

Very good plugin, thanks for that =)

Mike Primm · Apr 9, 2011

V0.4 has been released - this one adds the option of a Permissions or GroupManager based privilege, angrywolves.wolf-friend, that prevents angry wolves from targetting or attacking players with the privilege. It is enabled using the wolf-friends setting in the AngryWolves.yml, and will make operators immune to wolf attacks if enabled when neither permissions system is found.

For most admins, who tend to have '*' (all) privileges, you may need to revoke the privilege specifically ('-angrywolves.wolf-friend') for any admins that should still be targetted by angry wolves.

Theres an error you really should look at. If you spawn a bunch of wolves, say something like 25, and there is at least one angry one that spawns, if you tame one of the friendly wolves and get it to attack the angry one, it crashes my server.

freeflo · Apr 9, 2011

Plug-in works great. One final request. Can Wolves become instantly aggresive towards a group, without being attacked first?

Are you getting an exception? If so, please post it, along with any other configuration details (which CB, what AngryWolves settings you've got, etc).

Follow up: I've tried the scenario you described a few times, but no luck with getting an error. or odd behavior. I'll probably need to know what other plugins you've got, as well.

If you set the spawn-anger-rate to 100, along with using the angrywolves.wolf-friend priv to protect other groups, you should get this - all wolves will spawn angry, but will not attack the protected group(s). Now, if we want to add some sort of priv that makes wolves hate a particular group...make the wolves attack them even when not angry...that might be something else to consider... >

Hmmm....that's quite a list! Did you catch an exception in your server.log (or anything interesting in your server.log corresponding to when you saw the issue?) Are you on CB670?
