So I've decided to enable the timer to prevent players from hiding and spawning so many mobs that it brings down the server, but a 60sec kick is really kinda annoying for players.

Could a percentage timer be added + movement so that if a player kills a certain amount of the mob wave and is still running around looking, they don't get kicked?

Hey garbagemule, if a player's pet dies at the same time as the player, there's a chance they could experience an error. I would add some checks here to make sure the Wolf is still alive and able to be edited:

Here's the error:

Thank you for your help.

It seems Magic spells is supposed to be compatible isn't it?
When ever I run them both Magic Spells makes it where when ever I type a /ma join or any type of ma command it just brings up the list
/ma join
/ma spectate
etc
Any solutions to this?

Hi,

Recently I tried to create a class where you have don't have full armor and either when I put 0 or nothing as pieces of armor, it crashes when I chose the specified class. I did not find anybody talking about this issue...I was wondering if it is only me...

Thanks

When you save the arena "default", it always saves the arena in the world "world", even if you are in a different world. I haven't tried the other additional arenas.

I am using the MultiInv plugin to allow my server to have a separate creative and survival side. I have three worlds. "survivalside" and "blakecity" share a survival-type game mode and inventory. "creativeside" has a creative type game mode with a separate inventory altogether.

There is a little bug I'm experiencing though, which prevents me from using MobArena.

If the player is in a world with the survival side inventory and calls /ma join, followed by /ma leave.... everything works as expected
BUT if the player is in a world with the creative side inventory and calls /ma join... upon leaving, the creative inventory is blank, and the survival inventory contains everything that used to be in the creative inventory.

As a result, anyone can basically move items from creative to survival by joining and immediately leaving, which is a huge exploit that must be fixed.

Please could you fix this?

Any time that i go into the arena no mobs show up. I am positive that the config hasn't been changed, i have tried re-installing, but nothing works. Sometimes if I am lucky 1 wolf will show up on the first wave.

If you join with /ma j, then pickup a class and then just /ma leave you will have class items added to your inventory. Exactly it looks like items on restore are added to "empty" inventory of returning character but class items are still in inventory and items from restore are moved to next slots, class items stays where they were after picking class.

when "/ma leave" is used before having won any prizes, all the gear is kept! This is a major exploit.

I use PermissionsEX and have all the correct permissions set according to the wiki. Even with the latest dev build I continually get the Command not allowed error, _even in the console_. Is this a bug you may already be aware of? I can be an op and use all commands perfectly fine.

Taken right out of the wiki for the config file, adding in a line for permissions so that it would look like (with proper indentation)

classes:
Knight:
items: diamond_sword, grilled_pork:2
armor: 306,307,308,309
permission: donator
Archer:
items: wood_sword, bow, arrow:128, grilled_pork
armor: 298,299,300,301
permission: member
[...]

Basically, the idea is for perk classes for donors and such. At the moment, Ive got them behind lockette doors, however people from time to time still try to bumrush it as someone else opens it up. Thoughts?

As the title says, when my inventory gets cleared before a match, it does not take into account that my sword was enchanted.
I used the last available version as of 4. December.

Once everyone has died and the game is over, on some occasions the remaining mobs are left to roam around the arena and if killed drop normal items (unlike when the arena is active). Normally they disappear when the game ends so is this a bug?

During a match some stairs were destroyed, having force-restore set to true, it restore all the stairs but made them all face north. Also parts of the arena are a mix of spruce wood and original wood, upon restore it sets it all to the original.

is there a way to make it so that an area of the arena only is available at certain waves e.g say that at wave 10 an area opens up revealing some chests or is there a way to lock chests until a certain wave?
thanks

When using MA on a world that doesn't allow any other mobs to spawn (with MyWorlds) I get mobs that spawn on top of the arena. They don't go away after a match either and they are technically in the arena cuboid

All redstone in the marked area refuses to work/activate.

Just making a note that wolf bosses CAN kill wolf pets.

No matter what i have set in my config, blocks destroyed by player are not restored. and hard restore doesn't seem to be working either. using 94.4.21

1. if you set home in the arena while fighting you can teleport in there when you have not signed up for the fight so you can have people give you the items they got and then you can just teleport away and keep them
2. If you pick an item up from the inventory so its not in any slot as you die in the arena you respawn with that item.
3. if u r in the lobby and have a set of items on you and the server restarts then u keep the items

cheers

I created arena and now whenever I play I can't be hurt by the mobs, other ops can be hurt by them its just me i am the creator of the arena if that has to do with something

In the latest build of MA, pulled from the link on irc today, players seem to be randomly kicked from the arena as if they had typed /ma leave. They don't die, they don't go the spectate area, they're returned to the area at which they joined and the "Leaving so soon?" message is displayed.

I have an arena without any obstacles, it's is just a simple oval arena so there is no reason for players to be able to break and move blocks within it, but they can. The protect feature used to work like a charm but isn't anymore? I'm not sure whats wrong, any suggestions?

Currently, nobody is able to teleport out of the arena, bosses aren't able to teleport player, I as admin am not able to teleport anyone out of the arena when Iam outside and after finishing arena and using /ma leave players will stay in arena.
I guess this problem started with dev build.
In config I denied teleportations, because my players have the /home command, and I don't want them to teleport with armor and stuff. But I also want bosses to use warp abilities and players to be teleported home after they finish arena.
this is my config file: http://pastebin.com/M40QkC9X

an instant healing potion is 373:8197 and that works fine. however when I want an instant healing potion tier two (373:8229) they don't spawn when clicking the sign. I find this strange as it is still a separate sub type, and i could give my players double the amount of tier one potions but its just for speed and convenience. thanks

heres the line thats says it:

02:13 PM [SEVERE] Error occurred while enabling MobArena v0.94.3.24 (Is it up to date?): while scanning a simple key; could not found expected ':'

can you help?

With the last 1597 builds of bukkit it seems that:

• When MA is loaded, PVP works in our world even though it's disabled with Residence and Towny.
• When MA is loaded, people with /god randomly get hurt.
• MA waves seem to clear themselves immediately and move on to the next wave, no matter that I do the clear_wave setting.

Our players are very excited for MA to return, please make it work for 1597

when somone destroys a sign it commes back with blanc text

exsample it you destroy the knight sign the sign will respawn after 2 sec but nothing will stand on it

Hello. Larger server using Transporter to manage worlds and world travel. Pulled apart the .jar and noticed that it wasn't in the softdepends array. Added it manually to the softdepends array in plugin.yml, but still recieving an exception upon plugin load. World name is spelled correctly in plugin.yml, and there are no /t in the yml.

Here is the traceback:

Need any other information?

We have cactus as a class item (sand embedded in the arena). If the cactus is able to grow, whenever the arena resets at the end, the "grown" cactus is not removed (the base is, though), creating a weird situation of cactus in mid-air.

Wanted to mention it before I forgot. ^_^

It would be really useful when players get kicked when they use magic spells, because it would be an adequate penalty and some commands like /butcher work in the arena (at least for ops) too.
Maybe this could be set in the config.

meizme noted that adding extra armour items to either the class items or the class armour causes it not to appear. Just making a note of that bug here.

The player should not be asked to clear inventory to spectate, only on join

A friend of mine decided to get his own MC server and he has me do the perms, plugins, etc. I have been working on configuring my Mob Arena for the past day, and I have an issue that I don't know how to solve, but i have narrowed it down to my config. file. I use wordpad and it got the spacings wrong so I used Beast Nodes' panel to configure it. As far as i can tell my config is correct which is whats scaring me. I deleted the first config i made and let the plugin reset and the commands worked, but as soon as I edit it and reload the commands dont work.

All I am asking is for someone to come take a quick look and see if its my configuration or not. As far as i can tell I dont have a conflict as it works before I configured my waves, and knowing my luck the problem is something stupid like a simple misspelling, or spacing error. Any help would be appreciated.

Config is as follows:

How can i see, what i have to do to finish setting up the arena?

I'm trying to hook into Mob Arena to get a list of all currently enabled arenas. Upon looking at the code for the ArenaMaster.java class, I noticed something. I'm trying to get:
https://github.com/garbagemule/MobArena/blob/master/src/com/garbagemule/MobArena/ArenaMaster.java#L66
and according to Eclipse everything is working as it should. But I notice in the ArenaMaster constructor, you instantiate the "arenas" list, but never populate it, enabled or not. The result is when I call "getEnabledArenas()" it populates the "result" list with all the enabled arenas in the "arenas" list, which contains zero arenas to check and possibly populate "result" with.

on a side note, I was wondering if there could be a method similar to getEnabledArenas() that returns every arena created on the server, regardless of the enabled state. so something like getAllArenas().

I've turned it so that i can build but it deletes everything that i build. So i had an Op try and they can. It also will not let anyone but that Op actually pick a class and join. Anyone besides that Op cannot join into any of the matches. This provides a huge issue because nobody but this person and other Ops can actually play the Mob Arena. I hope that this can get fixed so that i can play my own arena.

   -Shadowreaper117

After i die, and am transported to the spectator lobby, i am getting an announcement of "No sharing allowed at this time". I am only allowed to drop my items after i premform the "/ma leave" command. Here is a pastebin of my config http://pastebin.com/F5h0zpQH

On my minecraft server only the admins can pick classes when player pick a class nothing happens nothing pop up for him/her

Can you help please ?

Can you make boss skill, that boss explodes, destroy surrounding blocks, but not damage self or players? Or just something, that allows bosses to break blocks?

Hey garbagemule,
Someone came into IRC today and did not have any permissions plugin. He was an Op and other players on the server were not. When they type /ma join (or /ma j) Mob Arena yells at them that "You do not have access to this command". In a no-permissions environment, everyone should have access to it, but in reality none of them do.

went looking at your commands code and found this:
https://github.com/garbagemule/MobArena/blob/dev/src/com/garbagemule/MobArena/MACommands.java#L115

you check the join command for if(not console OR player doesn't have perm) and never check to see (seemingly) that permissions may not even be installed. The same is also true for /ma l(eave)

I tried on my test server with no perms and that's what I found out. I could edit and set up arenas as normal as an Op, but even as an Op (and not as an Op) I could not join an arena

Title sums it up, destroyed ladders and lava are not restored upon arena reset.

I want to use iConomy 6 for my server, but MobArena uses essentials eco plugin instead of iConomy 6. Could you update your registers and dependencies?

Hey, I noticed something interesting, When i like add MobArena into my plugins, then like World animals/mobs will not spawn anymore, Like it's completely down no pigs no wolves no cows no chickens and so on...

im a op and when i use /ma join it says i dont have access to this command but yet i can use all the setup commands any help plz

i built my mob arena then when i went to set it up i entered /ma setregion p1 and it gave me the message
/ma join -join the arena
/ma leave - leave the arena
/ma notready -list of players not readt
/ma spectate -warp to the spectator area

then i tried the /ma setregion p2 same restult and when i tried /ma show region nothing.
then i rebooted the plugin same results then i uninstalled permissions as that may have done something still same result
please could some help me if necessary i will set my config file in case I've made a mistake in there
