EpicZones
EpicZones
Epicly fast and efficient polygon based area protection for your server.
This project is no longer being supported by jblaske, but I (courtartanis) will be resuming support for the plugin.
Please join me in wishing him the very best in health and happiness with all his future endeavors, new prospects and be glad to know that he and i will remain in contact and good friends.
Current Version: v0.37 (1.3.1-R2.0)
EpicZones was created to bridge the gap between existing are protection plugins and the needs of server administrators to not be restricted to cuboids or chunks. EpicZones provides server managers with the kind of area protection they most desire! Polygons and Circles! Easy to set up, easy to configure and super lightweight on your server's resources.
The EpicZones team aims to make EpicZones a must-have for any server administrator who wants full control over their server; protecting themselves, their servers, their players and most importantly of all - the work and dedication that their players put into a minecraft world.
Not only does it work for protection, it works with slight RPG aspects in terms of giving users or zone owners a sense of pride when they enter their own zones, knowing it is theirs and giving them enthusiasm to make it the best it can be; whilst knowing it can potentially be fully protected!
....not ONLY THAT.....but, due to Polygonal zones - your players don't have to build uniformed square buildings to comply with zoning regulations, how about a weird alien shape with a million sides? It'll take you a while to draw...but it's theoretically possible!
Features
- Polygonal and Circular area creation. (Not just cuboids!)
- In-game zone creation.
- Provide a Circular border to your map.
- Hierarchical Permissions with Child and Parent Zones. Eg. Build, Destroy or Entry control on a per zone/per group basis.
- Display Entering and Exiting messages in chat.
- Enhanced /who
- Advanced control of zone based regeneration
- Many zone specific controls for things like Fire, Explosions and Mob spawning control
- Zone specific command control to disallow the use of certain in-game chat commands whilst in a specific zone.
Plugin recommendations
- HeroChat
- Most perms plugins. PermissionsEX or bPerms are highly recommended.
Beta
If you are interested in participating in the beta versions of EpicZones to see and help shape the upcoming features, please send a PM to jblaske with information regarding your server (how many players, how many concurrent active players, server ip address).
Support
For any issues, please document them and create an EpicZones ticket. This will help ensure EpicZones gets restored to full working order as soon as possible.

Posted Jan 27, 2012Hey Court, is there a way to use this plugin to benefit non-griefing.
I have a TON of user groups and I like to set zones on certain things that are built
The problem is that i have to add in destroy/build perms for each group in each zone and it is taking me FOREVER.
is there a way to set everything to ONLY owner or something a little easier to protect these zones?

Piston and redstone circuit operation is un-affected and should work as intended :) The plugin doesn't protect Redstone events - it protects the actual block/co-ordinate they are placed at.
In a protected zone, for example; a person with the {destroy: deny} flag won't be able to destroy any type of block in that zone. This includes redstone circuitry as well.
Also, just to clarify - what "other self protect" plugins are you referring to?

From my experience, yes it is a perfectly good (and sometimes exceeding in it's qualities) replacement for the Regios plugin.

Posted Jan 24, 2012I need help. :( I'm trying to give other users permission to use the plugin. The permission group they're in has the .admin node applied to it but every time they type "/zone create zonename" it gives them the help menu, and it doesn't let them create a zone. Tried opping/adminning them, no difference. What am I doing wrong?

I assume by regios you mean Regions....(Worldguard regions perhaps?)
But, in terms of a replacement...it's an alternative to WG Regions yes.
Care to elaborate any further?

Yes just enter a build deny permission for whatever user group they are in...
EDIT: Sorry entry deny lol
Zone config will look like this
"default" being the default group of my own server, but you can change that respectively to whichever usergroup you are trying to deny entry to. Also, you don't have to enter the destroy and build flags into that perm. But it makes no difference if you are going to deny entry to them in the first place. You could just have

Thanks but i still have access to all commands. I can make a zone edit it and remove it. Even an existing one... I haven't got the - '*' and i have the - -epiczones.* node.
Any other ideas?

Do you have the asterisk? ( -'*' ) Under your group? This is an OP node and will override any perms config you set under that group.
If not - what you are seeing are the basic functions that normal players can see and possibly use....It shouldn't let you admin any zones, only take control of zones you have been assigned as an owner of.
If you don't want this functionality, remove the perm from the respective groups:
Notice the - to designate a node to PEX then another -to invert/remove the perm from that group. The * will remove any and all EZ functionality from that group so they wont even be able to get a response from the server with /ez commands either.
Hope this helps.
