Bukkit

Hello there,

I would like to limit the spawn rate of endermans in the end and reduce the number of endermans available in an area by 50%.

How can I config this to work?

Warm Regards

Gavan

Ok, right then.

@ShadowDog007

I mean the new "Name tag" item of Minecraft. I read that if a mob is tagged with it the chunk where the mob is is always loaded.

Are you adding mob "tags" control on your plugin?. If I'm right mobs tagged make chunks stay loaded even if no player is in it, is there a way to get this plugin unload that chunk without loosing that mob?, or maybe despawning the mob so the chunk is unloaded automatically and respawning that mob when the chunk is reloaded?.

@ShadowDog007 If you have any time to figure out how to do that, that would be just great!

In the mean time i'm maintaining the drops as i did before.

I came upon a little problem i cannot solve by myself. Is there a way to have a global droplist for different ApplySets (but still for only one mobtype).

For example: "Weak Zombie" "Normal Zombie" "Strong Zombie"

All are of the same mobtype (ZOMBIE). Still i have to give all of the three the "full" droplist (so it triples the lines in the code). I tried (like described in your config header) to make a global droplist under "MobAbilities:" but it's just being ignored, nothing will drop :(

MobAbilities:
  ZOMBIE:
    Drops:
    - Chance: 1
      Replace: true
      Drops:
      - ID: 267
        MinCount: 1
        MaxCount: 1
        Durability: 20
        Enchantments:
        - DAMAGE_ALL:2

This will do absolutely nothing :(

This example otherwise would do just fine.

AbilitySets:
  Zombie_weak:
      Drops:
      - Chance: 1
        Replace: true
        Drops:
        - ID: 287
#		String
          MinCount: 1
          MaxCount: 1
  Zombie_normal:
      Drops:
      - Chance: 1
        Replace: true
        Drops:
        - ID: 287
#		String
          MinCount: 1
          MaxCount: 1
  Zombie_strong:
      Drops:
      - Chance: 1
        Replace: true
        Drops:
        - ID: 287
#		String
          MinCount: 1
          MaxCount: 1

But as you can see, if i just want to apply the same drops for the whole family of the mobtype "ZOMBIE", it's way too much code, espexially when you plan to add loads of enchanted equipment.

Thanks in advance, as always :)

Infact, all the "green stuff", ShadowDog007 wrote, should be more than enough to get started with the plugin.

Sure, i asked him a tons of questions, but it helped me to advance very far and deep into the plugin's mechanics.

But still: All you need to start with, is explained in the abilities.yml (if you just want to alter or add some abilities to the standard mobs).

If you really can't see through the easiest things (for example: creating a skeleton with 50% of its original damage or a zombie with 15 more hearts than originally), you should really think about, if scripting and coding is the right thing for you... i dont say that to be mean, i just want to warn you that, even if you know what you're doing, it's a sh*tload of work! I've been working on my MM settings now for at least 30 hours and i still have a looooooooooong way to go, until i'm at least a bit satisfied.

But if you wish, here's my config: http://pastebin.com/XjMhs1Qf

Srsly is there any sample config? I don't understand anything.. I just need a finished config to look at to understand..

I know it has nothing to be with your plugin but I would like if you know how to make horses appear on 1.5.2 worlds. Is there, maybe, a way to regenerate som selected chunks so they become "1.6.2 chunks"?.

I would like to make horses appear without deleting the world.

Thanks for any help.

@DJMadMax

Wow thanks for the help. I managed the drops so that it drops every 1/3 of kills.

@ShadowDog007 Is it possible where mobs drop items with lores say from the 'Lores' plugin. I'm wanting mobs to drop emeralds that have lore on it. Could this also be integrated with RPG items as most plugins are?

@NemesisMate

Just try "Mo' Creatures" - that's the mod, the horses of official 1.6.1 came from!

Cya, DJMadMax

On my server, zombies drop emeralds, but pretty much almost all zombies drop emeralds. My drop chance is set too 1 and when I make it a decimal it doesn't work. How can I make the drop rate alot smaller?

Also, is it possible to make it where when you run a certain distance from say, a spawner, the mobs return to that area where they spawned?

@tabalougas

The line only indicates the "beginning" of a problem. Like i told you before, i recommend you clean out the abilities.yml! Copy yours to a safe place (as you may have noticed, it's not wisely to edit the yml-files directly in the plugins-folder, because the plugin overwrites the hole file when it finds errors).

Okay: Step 1: Make your own offline bukkit server with a dosprompt Check!

Step 2: Install MobManager Check!

Step 3: Copy all your needed yml-files to a "safe" place, where you can edit them as you wish.

Step 4: Edit the yml-files line by line and TEST them line by line! That means, you edit a line into your "safe" yml-file and copy-paste that file to your plugin-directory and test it. If no errors occur, enter the next line and so on, and so on.

Only, i repeat: ONLY after you understand how badass this yml-sh*t is to script, only after that you're able to add more and more lines "at once" without running into errors.

Believe me, i searched for errors that occured only because there was a space too much (or too less :D) or there was a "-" in front of a class or ability where it shouldnt have been but otherwise (it's not always the same formatting for MobAbilities and AbilitySets! Notice that!) you'll end up in big trouble without even being able to find out what's wrong.

Here's what i (also) told you before: "MobType: Zombie" belongs to the MobAbilities section, not to the AbilitySets.

That's one big error in your script.

It's easier if you start out from point blank, believe me! Dont "overdo" it, add one ability by another and dont fiddle around with too much at the beginning. It's hard work and takes a lot of time but in the end it'l pay out as you get more and more practice with it.

@DJMadMax

so where is my wrong . i can see only the line .

@Azekial07

You use the bounty.yml (enable it in the config.yml first) to drop "Money", item(s) of your choice or extra experience.

Check these lines:

1. Valid BountyTypes:
2. - MONEY: Players are given money as a reward for killing mobs
3. (Players can also have money taken away from them if you set
4. negative rewards)
5. MONEY is the only BountyType which has a plugin dependency.
6. MONEY requires Vault be installed on your server

I assume you'll have to use Vault to be able to use "ingame money", as it's just what the bounty.yml tells us.

Alternatively you could use the item system and use emeralds as a currency (just an idea).
