ah i see, doh XD

I think he's talking about the MC spawners not my Plugin spawners. But you can turn the "spawnerAllowed" to False(in config.yml), to disable the mcSpawner mobs from having levels and making them normal MC mobs.

But fires, the cool down is in seconds. I convert the number to ticks in my plugin for convenience.

@tiagoratto

about the second point, if you aim to make spawners useless for traps by limiting their spawns you can already use this plugin for that, set a low max amount of mobs and a high respawn delay.

i.e.:

1. /lrm spawner create zombiespawner zombie 3
2. /lrm spawner configure zombiespawner cooldown 1200

i'm not sure if the cooldown is in ticks or seconds, but i assumed ticks so this would spawn max 3 zombies every minute

with the first point i would like to warn for how mc's spawn protocol and java garbage collector work in a situation like that, you can't just cancel a spawn and be done with it. it could cause a lot of ram usage because mob objects are created, then "removed" (still taking up ram untill java garbage collector comes along), then a new mob will be spawned to get to the spawn limit. the mob that spawns in place of the removed mob might be a mob you also remove, creating another useless object in you ram, if the cycle repeats, you will have to deal with performance issues because your server keeps hitting its ram limit very quickly.

@tiagoratto

Ah, this was brought up previously. Allowing a toggle for mobs (mainly passive). This is still an idea I need to implement and wouldn't take long!

The other idea with controlling mob spawns, I've not tried messing with the amounts of creatures just with the creatures that do spawn. That being said if you wanna point me to the plugin you're using I can check it out and get and idea of how to do it!

@TemplarSoul

This is an interesting idea! I definitely want to get this implemented as I feel people would use it!

Hello there, your plugin rocks! But I have a suggestion for you. In the server I play and test features for the admin I've noticed that all mobs get levels, I also noticed that you can spawn mobs of a certain level based on a wolrdedit region.

Based on that information I've created an chicken farm in the map border, where chickens spawns around level 160. Then put then confined in a corridor with hopper beneath them and store all the eggs. To finish, I've created a dispenser and routed all the eggs to it, so I can spawn the chickens using eggs and get all the tasty XP. The problem with that it that with a full big chest i can get like 60 levels by powerplay. I know that we could use the worldedit region integration to kinda fix that, but it would require as much work as enforcing players yo not do that.

Another thing we noticed players doing is finding an spawner far from the center and build a trap to asphyxiate mobs on it.

My suggestions are:

- That we could set limits per mob ID by world and region to prevent spawning worthless mobs like chickens, fish and etc with high levels.

- We managed to make the spawner trap worthless that by limiting the its spawning rate using another plugin, but it would be nice to control that from yours.

Thanks in advance.

@firesofhades

Yeah thats a simple fix (just overlooked), but I can definitely put that in tonight!

@lorinthios feedback time :D.... :(

the error in this post(@firesofhades) is indeed gone, the issue still seems to be there though.

i hope this wasn't the issue you hoped to fix but on /reload my spawners still spawn new mobs while leaving the old mobs. perhaps keep a list of spawner mob UUID's, and kill them off on disable? remove them from the list on death and despawn ofcourse.

If you're using 1.7.9, I've uploaded a new file [Beta 2.0.2], hopefully it'll fix some issues! If not just send the stack traces my way!

Waiting until my new headset gets here to do a better recording. But it will be done!

@firesofhades

ah yeah thanks. It was a long upload so I haven't gotten back to this till now =(

But I'll set it up! Thanks fires!

@lorinthios

no video for me :( it is says its to long. perhaps cut it up and upload it as 2 parts ;)

NEW Tutorial video!!!

As I say above, the mic is a bad quality mic (it was all I had on hand). Also I am not a professional video creator or even a great speaker. But I'm sure it will get the idea and explain how to configure the plugin.

YES IT IS LENGTHY. I tried to keep it short, but theres a lot of info to go over and I wanted to make sure anyone could listen/watch and understand. If there is any confusion you can always ask on here or contact me on skype, I have the same user name. Just say in your friend request that you are contacting me for help about this plugin.

Hope the video helps!

@kittsfu

Thanks kittsfu!

The bukkit community is just such a great place to give plugins and such cause theres awesome supportive people who just love games/new functionality. So people like you are what encourage me to keep updating =D

But I plan to keep this going for a while longer at least to update to new versions if not add new feature requests as well =)

@p82183645

i assumed you were running on cb 1.7.2 because you said you ran heroes 1.5.5.1. so i choose lrm 2.0 for 1.7.2. i was able to recreate the isseu. but still kinda stumped at what it could be.

i tried cb 1.7.9 + heroes 1.5.5.3 and lrm 2.0.1. same issue, but there is 1 key difference. this time i'm getting a stacktrace. yay :D. i think this error is the reason heroes can't process the damage correctly, even tho it doesn't show up in the earlier version. this error happens every time i hit a mob, doesn't matter what mob or what weapon. i used default configs for heroes as well as lrm.

i think lrm comes before heroes in the stack, so when lrm errors the stack is cancelled and heroes doesn't get its turn. leaving the server to handle the damage normally.

edit-

i just tried without heroes and the error is gone. i wonder what heroes changes to cause an error like this. anyways this is more info on the error and some workarounds, not sure if it can be apllied in this case tho, as i don't know heroes role in this.

@p82183645

in that case, could you supply me with this information?

• bukkit version
• LRM version
• list of other plugins (preferably with version)
• links to a pastebin including your config files and the error.
• perhaps your heroes config as well
