Metrics:
This plugin utilises Hidendra's plugin metrics system, which means that the following information is collected and sent to mcstats.org:
- A unique identifier
- The server's version of Java
- Whether the server is in offline or online mode
- The plugin's version
- The server's version
- The OS version/name and architecture
- The core count for the CPU
- The number of players online
- The Metrics version
If you wish to disable this feature (/me cries), you can do so by opt-ing out, which you can do in the config file under /plugins/PluginMetrics/

It seems like Multiverse is causing some Problems with my plugin, I don't know why but I will try to fix it as soon as I know what exactly is causing it.

It shouldn't change anything, you will only need to drop SpellItems in the plugins directory and it should work. ONE IMPORTANT THING: SpellItems has it's on allways_show_... option in it's cofig for the Mana

Will give it a try in a couple of days, probably the first time I will have to do a test server for this specific change. Keep up the good work!

Posted Aug 3, 2013Ok, SpellItems has been approved and you can get to the Projectpage here:
http:dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/spellitems/
There are no downloads as of yet as they still need to be approved, but you can find my first try at explaining the Syntax of the items.yml on the Project page.
edit: Ok downloads are now available

Right now it is mostly helping me to organize my code, the spellsystem/items/enchants was split up in way to many small Parts and too dependend on Games.
Now it can be used completly outside of Dwarves vs Zombies or even completly without it. (The corresponding Project on dev.bukkit.org is currently awaiting approval.)
In the future I want people to be able to add new Spells with their Plugins and easily use my Itemsyntax to make use of these items

Sorry but that's not the type of gamemode that I was talking about. I was talking about the new gamemode and old gamemode of DvZ. When I try to to change the gamemode for DvZ in the config, and restart the server, it just changes back to gamemode 0.

The book should only be usable every 30 seconds using the default config.Nope, found my error. I accidentally changed the wrong value in the configs.
I will try fixing the logging problem the next days.
edit: Oh I know, the logging plugin is causing some problems. I will still try to fix it

Posted Aug 1, 2013helly and_s, we are having some bugs, when a player joins the server on a running game, they get discs but cant join the game, a stafff has to add them and then kick them so they can join. and is there something to stop ppl from spmamming the book to get stone? they are spamming it and causing lag, like you can only use this every 10 secs or so. thanks
