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 Apr 5, 2012Is there anyway I can set up a way that I can allow a certain group ONLY to build in a certain zone and not ANYWHERE outside of it?

Yes, it "should" remove or grant PvP within specific zones as the flags are set respectively..
PvP: true/false etc.

I thought that was the case. One of my standard users has ownership of a zone, but says he is unable to change fire or explode flags on it. I have watched the console, and he is typing exactly the same command as I do. It works for me, but not him.
My brother plays on my server, so I logged in as him to test this. He is a standard user, non-op with no admin powers. I tried to edit one of his zones on his account, and when I type /zone edit ZONENAME it says "You are now editing zone etc...". When I type /zone flag explode false false false, instead of it confirming the change, all it does is bring up the list of available commands. The same with fire. But he can change the messages.
I guess I should put this in a ticket? :-P

Owners have access to any command that does not change the size, shape or location of the zone.

Posted Mar 20, 2012If I, as an admin, create a zone and set a standard user as the owner, what commands does this owner have access to when editing their zone?
Thanks, BurnseyBoi

Posted Mar 17, 2012I can't delete a owner of a zone. I successful get a message about the changes (removed owner) and saving. But the owner name is still in zone file (even after a restart). Does this only happen for me?

This is an issue we are aware of as stated in the most recent update (0.35.2).
Try updating the flag manually via FTP - this "normally" fixes the issue.
Other than that, it's in progress :)

Posted Mar 10, 2012Is it/would it be possible for the enter message on zones to be able to display variables, such as player balance?
As an example, I have zoned off an area for a shop on my server. I would like it to display a message when entering the zone that says something along the lines of "Welcome to the Shop. You have £120.63 to spend!"
Many thanks :-)

"A compatibility update for Minecraft 1.2 (Epiczones 0.35.2) has been released...."
"18:13:26 [INFO] [EpicZones] Loading EpicZones v0.35.1." In your server log - 0.35.1 is for R3, not R4.
Try updating to epiczones 0.35.2 and see if this fixes your issue.
Always check for updates to plugins before reporting errors.....

Posted Mar 8, 2012hey, love your plugin, but it recently stopped working (probably when I switched from R3 to R4, although I don't know because it took a while for me to notice).
If you happen to know how to fix the problem that would be great, if not you don't have to waste your time providing support for outdated versions, I will eventually update to 1.2.3 and it should go away. Thanks for your time!

Glad to be of assistance, let us know how the beta build for 1.2 is getting on.....
Any problems feel free to submit a ticket, but please bear in mind it's not officially supported so they will be low priority.
However, as we're trying to smooth anything out - reporting problems will be of great help :) jblaske is the brains of the operation; just think of me as his PA (minus the short skirt and high heels)
Enjoy.
