If you can rewrite the BKCommonLib, please do so. Its seems the original author abandoned us when bukkit died. Also, why not move your project over to the spigot website?

Posted Oct 28, 2014😃 1/2 year ago i have the same problem and I didn't find a Solution, which is why i didn't use the plugin since them, but i always thought "hopefully there will be a solution to this problem" and one or two weeks ago I made a new Server because on the old server i had 46 plugins (more than to many plugins). So I have search for new and better plugins and thought"maybe fastSurvival have more config options" So i try it and forgott about the skeletons 😀 two days later i saw the destruction. But I like the moon and the other features so much.... I searched in the internet... found no solution. than I have the Idea, maybe i can find classes with the bows. So i found them and delete them. xD I hope i won't have any issues with that action. Maybe you can remove the function with the Flashes. I don't how long it will take you because i'm not very good in javascript. Teenusa
Much luck with your exams! (:

Haha you're boss, deleting classes :) I could make a configuration file, but i'm working ona a new plugin now, i have FastSurvival only in the background for now. I'm also very stressed due to exams. I'll keep on updating it, but for now i won't add new features. Maybe later on, a month or so, i come back on improving this plugin.
Thanks for using it!

For now i remove all bow class from the .jar but the other bows are still very 😎. so i hope you make some many more setings in the config that will be very nice.

Posted Sep 19, 2014Ok, thanks for your quick response! I'll try that. I notced that when lightning strikes, some of the surrounding blocks are thrown up in the air and if there weren't any blocks under them for support, they fall to the ground. For instance, a line would be drawn through a house where the roof would collapse if lightning struck near it. I'm wondering how to disable this feature. I've also noticed if a player is in the vicinity of a lightning strike they get night vision, blindness, miner's fatigue and weakness for about 10 seconds. I don't see anything about this in your descriptions and the only files in the folder are for language localization. Please if you ever do anyting else with this plugin, make a config file. I will help you test it. I will create a server that you can join just for this plugin and op you on it so we could both test it. PM me for server info. Thanks
This is a picture of just some of the damage done by lightning to a structure on my server. http://picpaste.com/pics/2014-09-19_14.58.16-SOUu7vWV.1411156949.png

Yes i could make Multiverse compatible if it had an api and the bukkit project was still alive TT.
First of all, try generating a new moon world and then setting the level name on multiverse as "moon". Maybe my plugin overwrites the generator on world load, can work!

Posted Sep 18, 2014My mistake. I didn't have BKCommonLib installed. It does generate moon and sky. Not as a worldgen but something the plugin does automaticly upon first load. Nice job on the moon btw! Not sure the purpose of sky though, except to fall through the world. Multiverse compatibility would be nice. if there were some way you could make Multiverse recognize this plugin as a worldgenarator then the 'generator' line in MV config could be FastSurvival, thus their marrage has been born. With MV compatibility comes MultiInv and Multiverse Portals which are what I use on my server. Thanks for the moon though :D

Well, while this plugin has the ability to generate custom worlds it isn't meant to generate a world externally, it cutomizes the default worlds and generates 2 new ones, the moon and the sky.
What do you want to get when using this generator? A moon world, a customized overworld, ...?
Anyway, the error your console is showing is that BKCommonLib is missing (or on a diferent version). Try to place it on your plugins folder.
The default way to get into the worlds is from a clean server, with this plugin enabled and deleting all world folders. However if you really need it i can work on it and see what i can do!

Posted Jun 12, 2014Had to disable this plugin as it would not allow players, nor me as opped owner, to place torches (ID 50). Started with these basics: Craftbukkit (current version), Essentials, and PermissionsEX: FastSurvival would not allow torch placement (although redstone torches were allowed). Took off FastSurvival 1.3 = could then place basic torches.
I really like this plugin as it gives the server a very unique feel regarding mob fights and surviving such melee attacks from skeletons and zombies. My players really liked it, too, but wanted torch placement over these features within the plugin.
Also, would you create a TICKET system for us? I feel awkward placing my concerns here in public forum.
Best to You,
EJ (Eric)
