Inactive [MECH] NaturalGiants v1.30 - Make Giants Spawn Naturally [1000]

NaturalGiants - Make giants spawn naturally
Version: v1.30

As per the title, this plugin makes it so giants will spawn naturally along with other mobs.
Giants are set to be more rare, and by default will only spawn 5% of the time compared to other mobs. This option, along with other options, can be changed within the configuration file. Giants additionally will only spawn in the dark / at night.

Download:
http://minerealm.com/plugins/naturalgiants/NaturalGiants.jar (1.30)

Config Information: (Modified within NaturalGiants.properties)
spawnrate - By default, set at 5%. This will make 5% of monsters spawned as giants. Maximum value is 100.
health - How much health a giant has. By default set at 200.
drop - What item giants drop upon being killed. By default set to drop 64 bones (item #352)
fireattack - Determines if the giants deal a fire attack upon targeting a player. Set it to "0" to disable the attack.

i got both installed and i get errors and it restarts my server when some gets close to a giant

 

It was a little castle, So yes.

 

I am also getting an Error everytime I approach a giant, it boots me from the server and says I have an internal server issues, making me restart the server.

Does this slightly modified version (no fire attack) give you the same error?

Hello there I liked your plugin and I use it as a Boss Mob in my server with great rewards.

But some clever players tend to put water around the giant then kill it easily without even trying to dodge or use long range weapons. Can you at least make it attack explosive or make it spawn normal zombies around it at a certain time?

 

I had fire attack set to 0 in the config and still had the errors. However, No errors using the modified version yet.

 

I had the same problem as reterg, the entity-track-crash-thing. That seems to be resolved with the modified version. However, giants do no damage to me. They target me but simply walk up to me and stand there. Not much challenge in that Is it the mod or is it some problem on my end?

Awesome mod though, keep up the good work!

EDIT: It seems I managed to get a giant to hit me, that was only after I pushed it around for a couple of minutes though. Most of the times they just stand next to you.

 

@Intelli
Is this possible?

 

It is possible but not sure if this plugin is configured for it. If it is it would be... itemnumber,#of item;itemnumber2,#of item2

At least that seems to be standard formatting with other drop plugins

 

I just use OtherBlocks to set the giant drops, and clear out the line in NaturalGiants.

Still get error with the modified versioin on craftbukkit 735.

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

I'm also still receiving the entity tracking error on CB 735 with NaturalGiants 1.3.

 

still getting an error, this time right as someone tries to log onto the server

 

Yep, still getting the error too.

 

The little children zombies would be awesome.

Looking forward to using this plugin once the fire attack is resolved.

 

I too love this plugin, but it causes occasional internal server errors (not a lot, but usually when someone connects), it generates a lot of lag, and sometimes they spawn in undesirable locations.

I'd love to see it updated with fixes and a configurable fire attack range!

 

This plugin looks really promising. I hope the issues that other people bring up will be addressed so I can put it on my server!

 

Oh man you mean its this mod thats causing the internal errors? Ive been having that crap happen lately and thought it was a bukkit error, or bigbrother or some other mod...thank god i came here looking for a random update...gonna have to remove it until thats fixed.

 

Can you make Giant Skellies and giant crepers?

 

No. "Giant" is an actual mob type. Not giant zombie.

 

Awesome ideal ran the plugin for a few days now, a few problems... I get entity target errors still even though in the change log it says its fixed, I also noticed that the plugin somehow makes it difficult for players to login and boots them, maybe a conflict with other plugins? but also I tried to make it where the giants drop more than just bones (which i might add 5-6 stacks of bones is an issue...) and it doesnt work I love the plugin and will definitely put it back on my server once I find these issue are resolved!

 

I've been having the entity tracking problems too but hasn't been often enough to be a problem. I reduced the bones to 16 and use the OtherBlocks plugin to add an additional drop (1 diamond in my case - I also reducethe spawn chance to 1%).

@Intelli Is it possible to reduce the chance to less than 1%? Still a bit to often for me - would like to drop it to something like 0.3%.

 

Whenever I die from fire attack I cant respawn. Need to restart server. Dying from regular from a giant zombie will not cause it to happen thou.

 

I'm getting the same error on 740, everyone is booted when someone trys to join

 

Yea i hope Intelli figures out the Entity crash thing as its still happening, people on my server like the giants as do I.
But they prefer being able to actually log in and not get an Internal exception every 10-20 minutes more.

 

I like the giants too, hopefully this gets fixed.

 

I must not understand how to configure this plugin correctly and I apologize but the track entity problem is a large problem on my server because it seems to generate lag and spam in my terminal.

 

Any hope of multiworld support?

 

it appears to be broken right now despite the title that says 740...

 

Exact same error as i had on v1.1
seriously, open source this and get some help
