Hello!

First let me say this is an awesome plugin! I had a sort of feature request, is it possible to make certain blocks pour lava, or pour water when the mob breaks it via block replacement? You could have zombie traps that only trigger when the mob breaks the block. The idea was to have a certain configurable block type break, and it trigger a lightning event, explosion, or maybe pour water to push them back. Would be neat to put down, say, TNT with a certain zombie attack duration, and once they 'break' it, it would explode. Maybe even block types that when broken, display a message, "Zombies have broken through the door!"

Keep up the great work on this plugin!

No idea if this would be possible but is there any possibility of adding announcements, stats and a webstats page to this in some way?

Were currently planning some new PvE scenarios and it would be awesome if we could somehow trigger some stats collecting when the scenario starts, for example a timer could start which tracks how long a player survives the scenario, or how many mobs they killed and so on, which could then be displayed on a scenario leaderboard?

It would certainly up the ante and make certain such a scenario is replayable with some competative elements.

I understand its probably alot of work but there is no harm in asking :)

What is a good combination of settings for a server of about 20-30 players? I've tried everything I could think of and the only results I ever get are almost 0 zombies, or way way too many to the point it's lagging the server (literally 200 zombies converging on a few players). The no zombies thing usually happens when I set my hard cap low (between 1000-3000). Then when I put the hard cap to something like 100000, the spawns become just crazy. I can't seem to find a good balance here. Also, should I use naturalistic spawns or bonus spawns to get the balance I need?

I'm hoping to make nights a challenge but not impossible for players. I want there to be zombies to defend from every night but not make it an impossible challenge.

Finally figured out why I was having such a hard time with this. The dependency for My Worlds needs to literally be listed as "- My Worlds" not "- MyWorlds"

@blainicus

So what are the bonus spawn types? The only immediately obvious one is "naturalistic".

It's not working. RUnning 6.0b and CB 1.1-R3.

Perhaps it's the R3 that's the problem?

• edit* No, changed back to R1, still broken.

My config: http://pastie.org/3386139

It's spawnign TONS of creepers, skeletons, and spiders, but no zombies. All mobs use mega aggro range also, there were about a hundred creepers within a 10 block range of me after a few minutes.

It worked fine with 5.0.

Hey, this seems like a pretty cool plugin but it doesn't work on my server. The monsters are not aggroing anything, or breaking blocks.

I don't know what is wrong.

Alright. I'll give some changes a go. I really thing the 'true/false/ flags for each section should be inline along with whatever section they control. It would make alot more sense. Maybe even some default config commenting etc would help people out.

This addons extended spawning options work great above ground. Down in mine shafts the spawning doesn't seem to work very well. The config file should be cleaned up and clarified.

"Enable custom monster health?: true Enable custom monster damage?: true"

" Zombie: health: 80 damage: 50 burns in sunlight: true"

...is not working.

First of all thanks for this awesome plugin!

Right now I'm running a zombie only overworld, but with the addition of ghasts, to wreak some havok.. But the problem is that either I spawn them with natural/bonus spawns, and they end up constantly spawning underground, screaming all over the server, or I use spawnpoints, but they will keep on spawning even when no ones in the world, ending up in a ghast-filled world.

Would like it if either ghasts could burn in sunlight, or maybe spawnpoints will only be active if a player is nearby!

can you also add that the mobs will despawn in certain time when the players didn't interact with them..

Plugin not work! :(

I have a problem with getting this plugin to work, which has been expressed before here. I use the MyWorlds plugin for multi-world management. Monster Apocalyse typically doesn't want to wait for MyWorlds to load, therefore if you're running MA on worlds other than world, world_nether, or world_the_end, then it'll say invalid world and disable itself.

To try to counteract this, I changed the plugin.yml to make MyWorlds a soft dependency. This seems to work on my test server, which is currently running less than 10 plugins, but it does not work on my live server which is running 41 plugins. Is there any way to check to make sure that Monster Apocalyse is waiting long enough even when there are a large number of plugins to load?

I'm not even sure if there's anything you can do but I'm looking for my options and would rather not have to change my multi-world framework.
