    Old description (open)
    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) :)

    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.

    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.

    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.
    Version 0.94.3.11 (open)

    • 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.
    Version 0.94.2 (open)

    • 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.
    Version 0.94.1 (open)

    • 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.
    Version 0.94 (open)

    • 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>.

    2 More Questions:
    1.How do you make more than one arena. Is it the same commands?
    2.Players in my server cheat by building a little block shelter out of blocks... I dont want to remove the block from the class. Is there anyway to prevent camping?
     
  3. Offline

    garbagemule

    @The4Noobz - 1) /ma addarena <arenaname>, and then make sure that you're working on the right arena with /ma arena and /ma setarena <arenaname>. The rest is like setting up the first arena. 2) Best way to prevent camping is to force your players out to fight. This can be done by setting clear-wave-before-next: true.

    Hello, i enjoyed this pliugin alot and had FUN making an arena.
    Then my permissions bugged up, so i ticketed my hosters and they said THIS.
    The permissionnodes were not working , i had all of them from the wiki page and still couldent build the arena.
    This plugin is outdated so any issues with the plugin not working may be due to it not being updated for the current build of bukkit.
    -Harry
    Is it outdated?

    Kind of ruins the point of rewards then =\..
    oh well.




    _____
    Also about earlier. the concept of giving damage values for potions... WOULD WORK.

    but the plugin is from before potions had been invented. it doesnt even recognise Potion or the data value for it =(

    Happiest edit ever:
    Im now using the DEV version and potions and stuff work =D

    Thank you for your help!

    Hey ,

    error on Mobarena 0.94.4.5 an CB 1597

    Flamers

    @schatty What happened to cause the error?

    ipaqmaster

    Just reporting a minor bug. Giving bone to players on the DEV versions appears to give you indestructible wolf pets (not tame sprites with collar but still right click-able as usual)

    @Flamers @schatty
    It appears this error occurs on the death of a player or mob (more likely mob)
    I have a feeling this has something to do with how it records kills as classes and/or per player into that file. somethings bugging it anyway...

    Took a while of searching around how to enable drops but..
    I would really like Supply waves :) makes it more challenging =D

    @ipaqmaster Your wolves are meant to be invulnerable :)

    @Viralcraftowner - Your "hosters" are what, other players on the server, or the hosting company? Either way, the permissions work just fine. You need the mobarena.setup permission or you need to be op to be able to use the setup commands. As for "outdated", yeah, the stable build is outdated, but the dev build is up to date, and I've got a bleeding build that's getting very, very close to being a release candidate :)

    @ipaqmaster - The point of the rewards is that... To be rewards. Not items that you can use in the next session. That would imply some sort of leveling aspect, and it is far outside of the scope of MobArena, and very easily achieved with simple permissions and an RPG plugin. As for the wolves, like Flamers says, they are supposed to be invincible. Their damage is lowered, however, to make up for it.

    @schatty @ipaqmaster - The error schatty is experiencing is harmless, but quite odd nonetheless. I'm not sure why it happens exactly, but the most recent bleeding build does not have this problem AFAIK.

    And to everyone who is interested in testing out the new supply waves, and to help me find bugs in the bleeding build, please join the IRC channel and ask me for the link and instructions! The more testers the better :)

    @K_Cin - Your config-file looks healthy, so I'm not sure exactly why this is happening. Sounds a bit like you're using some odd linebreaks from some strange editor of sorts. When exactly does this happen, because I don't quite understand? Also, which editor are you using to edit it?

    I am using Mob Arena version 0.94.3.24 on Minecraft Bukkit 1.0.1 R1. In the Boss/Wave Thread I found this link with which I tried to create a wave config. Although it looks alright I can't get it to work. The server says:
    Code:
    2011-12-28 16:18:13 [WARNING] [MobArena] Invalid monster type 'villager' in arenas.colosseum.waves.single.boss5God.

    @K_Cin You're using a build that was built against 1.8.1 Use the latest dev build.

    K_Cin

    Thank you! At the moment I downloaded MobArena that was the latest dev build. I guess I just have to pay more attention.

    What is the cause of the error that's generated when I start/reload my server? It keeps resetting my config. The first few times I (re)started Mob Arena I didn't get this error.

    @K_Cin - Your config-file is ill-formed. Post it in a pastebin and I'll take a look at it.

    This is my current config. But I don't think it's the config because I don't get it with a fresh .jar file (each time I start).
    http://pastebin.com/c0A7KMaA

    It happens when I try to start my server for the second time. The first time (with a fresh downloaded jar file of Mob Arena) it works fine. The editor I use is Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit. I also tried TextWrangler. Both of those transform tabs into spaces.

    @K_Cin there are no tabs in the config file :| I have never used either of those so cant comment on how they work.

    @K_Cin - It sounds very much like the linebreaks are of a specific type. Could you tinker around in TextWrangler and see if you can set the linebreaks/line endings to be CLCR or Windows-style (I know there's a setting for it somewhere in Wrangler), and then re-save the file? You said it happens when you try to start your server for the second time - is that after editing the config-file, or just after a plain old stop and start with no modifications to the file?

    It happens without editing the file. But What you said about line breaks: TextWrangler has the option to set line breaks like Mac, UNIX (=default) or Windows. I don't get the error anymore when I choose for Windows. Thank you for your help guys!

    @nunber1_Master - 1) You join the arena with full health, half food. This is intentional. 2) I don't understand how you'd be able to "use" experience in the arena, but regardless of what it means, it's not gonna happen. The XP system is already flawed and full of bugs as it is - no way am I dipping my nose in it. 3) Does the health-modifier not work?

    @nunber1_Master - Thanks for the heads up.

    @beleg - Unfortunately we can't control the ender dragon health bar in Bukkit :(

    number1_Master

    here let me re-type number 2:
    Second, I read before that in the future you will be able to change if you want mobs to drop EXP or not (within the arena). Adding to this idea, can you have it that the EXP is usable in the arena, except as soon as you die, or leave the arena you loose all your EXP? By usable I mean, you can enchant in the arena, but when you leave you loose the EXP. Or, can you have an option as to turn the above idea on or off? It was just an idea I had, but OK don't want you as a slave to only my ideas :p and crush your mind "dipping your nose into it!"
    ... health-modifier... I was editing the waves, and I was going to add that, but then I forgot, and ... sorry to bother you!

    I am looking forward to an update of this plugin my players won't stop asking for it. I just don't want to put it in there for people to farm xp in the MA as it isn't meant for that in my opinion.
    Has There been an answer on if there will be a way to turn off mobs dropping xp orbs in the arena?? Sorry If it has been answered already as I haven't found a definitive answer in the posts.

    @nunber1_Master - Alright, I got it right the first time then, in which case the answer is the same. Not gonna happen, sorry :) The health-modifier will be slightly different in the next build, since the Bukkit team (or Mojang) finally set a cap on it (and not even a proper cap, a throws-an-exception-if-anything-above-max-health-is-attempted cap).

    @toxicminers - Monsters will by default not drop XP orbs in the next stable release. In the current bleeding build, it is possible to toggle it on or off. Hop on IRC if you want to help out with testing :)

    all the boss abilities with "lightning" in it does not work for me :(
    heres my two bosses that include "lightning" (which prob wont help)
    Code:
                    bossPIG:
                        type: boss
                        wave: 5
                        monster: pig
                        health: low
                        abilities: lightning-aura, warp-to-player
                        ability-interval: 3
                    bossCHICKEN:
                        type: boss
                        wave: 6
                        monster: chicken
                        health: medium
                        abilities: chain-lightning, warp-to-player
                        ability-interval: 3

    beleg

    dont know if its already suggested:
    healthbar of bosses? (like the enderdragon healthbar..) would this be possible? it would be really nice :D and I guess an much better place for an healthbar.. (I dont really like the end.. I think its not needed and adding something like the aether would be MUCH nicer than the stupid nonsense end -.-)

    can you in spout?

    I have sort of a suggestion. Im not really good at coding and stuff but i just thought i would try and help with the idea of a different mob spawning when in a specific area as i feel that is a fantastic idea

    The special spawning area could be set up cuboid-style.
    for eg: /ma setarea p1 <nameofarea> or /ma setarea p2 <nameofarea>

    Then when certain conditions are met while in the game(eg every 10 seconds or at the end of every wave),
    get the players' locations and check if they are currently in any of the defined cuboids/areas

    And if they are in the area, spawn a special boss mob or a special wave type ( swarm, special etc).
    This is just my idea. I apologise if its terrible and not practical as I do not have much knowledge about java and coding plugins.
    In my arena, some of my players love to camp in certain areas and not move at all. That is why this little feature would allow me to lay some 'traps' for them.

    That honestly sounds like an awesome idea. You can find the 'trouble' spots, then edit the arena to spawn a thunder chicken or something, and make sure they never want to be there again haha.

    awsome! BTW, if it is possible, Bosses shoud be able to have a sumon ability or setting. here is an idea. :)
    Sumon: true
    mobs: zombie:5
    creeper:5
    skeleton:5 #how rare seen to the oters. each has 33.33% chance
    sumon-health: one hit # One hit, low, normal, high
    sumon-delay: 1 #in ticks
    Just an idea i woud like to see. :)

    And i think you shoud be able to take any kind of mob in any wave. not powered creepers limited to special and stuff. (If it still is. :O)

    Idea for new mob: Parkour zombie (If possible) Can climb walls (Like spiders)
