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.

Keep the code tidy and make it look like that then!
Manually edit the configs...but, remember - ALWAYS check your syntax.

Posted Jan 11, 2012And please, don't hate me. :P I am in no way making any attempt to get on your bad sides (and I hope I'm not); I simply am calling out what I assume are bugs as I see them. I truly do love this plugin; it is awesome!

Check your syntax, but you need to assign the perms to specific groups
for example;
Also, the 'could not pass event BLOCK_PLACE to EpicZones' errors can be caused by a number of things, bad syntax, bad configs or badly drawn zones being some of them.

When i put those permissions in the permission section, when i load up the server i get the problems i was having before which made me change my multiworld plugin where it says 'could not pass event BLOCK_PLACE to EpicZones' and all the protections stop working. Were the permsiision definately like this? permissions: {build: deny, destroy: deny}

In that case, go to [zonename].yml inside the /Epiczones/Zones and change the text in there manually.
entertext: 'Random text here'
Change this to
entertext: ' '
Do the same for exit text respectively (if you wish), but you should really be able to do it in game with commands. Remember to save and replace the original .yml and either /reload epiczones or restart your server after.
Just to clarify, you are performing these commands;
/zone edit zonename
/zone message enter [ ]
/zone message exit [ ]
/zone save
/reload epiczones
in that order?

When I enter "/zone message exit " with two or three spaces after it, the exit message remains unchanged. I also do not receive the "set exit message to []" message.

It does make sense, and I had added two spaces, even three to see if it catches it. It didn't. :(

You need to set the message to a blank space.
"/zone message exit " will not work, as the space you added at the end is just part of the original syntax.....instead you need to put "/zone message exit[insert2spaces]"
What the plugin sees is "/zone message<space><exit><space>[space]" the < > being the syntax for the variable. The [ ] being the "output".
That will just return " " to chat. Make sense?

Hm, maybe I did something odd, but back when I tested entry denial (EZ 0.30), it teleported the player to what I think was the spawn point instead of just pushing them back out. That's what I had meant. Maybe that was my doing. Will try it again. In terms of the exit message, I am typing "/zone message exit " but it does not remove the message. EDIT: Entry denial works fine, just pushes them out. Guess that was just me!

Just set the message to a blank space, it will clear it out.
As for the second part, you will need to be more clear, as the only way to move a player, is to teleport them, and what EZ does, is teleport them back to the spot the were last at that was considered to be an ok spot for them. The result being a bump back a few steps in most cases.

Posted Jan 10, 2012I have a couple questions. First, is there a way to remove an enter/exit message without having to draw a new zone? Second, is it possible to have the deny entry flag just push someone back out instead of teleporting away?

The perms i was referring to are the perms within each individual zone.
Global zones ie. world, world_nether etc cannot be edited in game, so you have to add the perms manually to those zone files.

Which permissions are we talking about here? The worlds permissions in the epic zones folder or the main permissions on the permission plugin? (Just to note, I am the host just if that helps my case at all)
