Bukkit

After a few days of trying out many different configurations and not getting the expected results, I think that the naturalistic spawn bonus chances are not working correctly. I've been trying to get a bunch of bonus zombies, with a lesser chance to get other types of monsters. But no matter what combination of monster types I've tried setting to true in the naturalistic bonus spawns area, then setting their chances to add up to 100, it seems to always pick the first one alphabetically and then just spawn those. So when I had endermen, spiders, and skeletons at 5% each, and zombies at 85%, all I got were endermen. Same when I tried ghasts (1%) and pigzombies (5%) and zombies (94%)- I got just ghasts. Same with pigmen (many different percentages all the way down to 1%) and zombies- I get just pigzombies.

For now I am working around the issue by setting the zombie spawn count to 10, but that is not ideal because in some situations, like in chasms, 10 zombies will spawn on a single block ledge and not spread out like they would do otherwise.

I love this plugin though, it's made the game a lot more fun for myself and my players. We are really loving the extra challenge when there are enough monsters to make going outside at night actually dangerous.

I checked the Enumerator list you gave me, the names are the same.

ENDER_PEARL = ENDER_PEARL <Example

Console still swears things like this are broken. It's not the only item either. 16 Mobs in total from my list have "errors" according to the plugin.

Are we going to get an explanation on what each line in config really means? along with what values are possible for said fields. I'm sure the # for notes will allow this somewhere at the bottom.

If not you perhaps someone you know could write the notes? That last bit I saw about "enable spawn changes" wasn't exactly obvious to me. I figured it meant "enable all these settings you've made changes to?"

@blaincus re: baby animals / enable spawning changes...

In your SpawnListener class, could you split the 'if (plugin.changespawning) {' block into 2 seperate blocks to allow animals to be configured separately? This would allow people to mess with monster spawning (which is probably the majority of users), while retaining normal animal spawns and baby animals...

Same issues for me, only spiders mega aggro, zombies don't break blocks :<
*Scratch that they break blocks now.

So only issue I have is the mega aggro for all monsters besides spiders.

Can't get any of my settings to work in the nether... how do I do this? I've tried many things.

This + physix plugin = no where to hide.

We have this awesome cityworld apocalypse on the server, its been working great for a couple of months - lots of aggro mobs, ghasts between the skyscrapers, zombies breaking all kinds of walls and glass to get to you etc. But 7.0 update just completely broke it. Now its lame, hardly any monsters. Even tried rebuilding config from scratch - and changing the new parameters on/off, not much is helping. It reports loading fine etc. Whats going on? Some ideas on what to look for would be great.

Screenshot of my gameplay, you can see there are only spiders that come to me.

Hmm mega-aggro only working with spiders not with other monsters - is this a bug or did i fail with the config settings :/

@blainicus

Thanks for reply. Wolf breeding is correct now :D

Aww I'm sad that mega-aggro doesn't work on zombies :(

what are the commands to get it to work? their arnt any tutorials

is it it posible to control how many monsters that are alive from a spawn point?

/ma addspawnpoint zombies Zombie 10 1 0 15 100 <- this will spawn 1 zombie evry 10 sec.

i only want it to spawn a zombie if the spawned zombie is dead. so that there is never more than 1 spawned zombie from this spawnpoint

can this be done?

No errors, but a lot of stuff doesn't seem to be working right with the config. Mega aggro doesn't seem to work at all for me. The zombies sometimes break blocks, sometimes do nothing and deaggro walk off. Using nothing but essentials and this plugin and have wiped my config file a couple times starting over, but very little seems to work properly for me.

Version 7 on 1.24

I really like this plugin, However I feel there isn't enough explanation to somethings going on in the config file. What happens if I change this? what are the allowed options for this setting? Points where terminology might go over ones head without any attempt to explain what'll occur if this/that is touched.

I also at first had no idea how to get the desired settings to just unleash "hell on earth" an had to just take risks with the config file until I started to get somewhere.

At this point I'm trying to customize the drops for all said mobs in the list but I keep getting a spam list of errors about it failing to add drop to drop list for x-mobs. I will add that I tried using the item numbers first an then switched to item names in _ format. This changed nothing for me even when I tried using the overwrite command I expected would just force it to accept my choices?

Was there some sort of item limit per mob? If so why was this never made clear/clearer? I think the things that appear obvious or apparent to the author needs to be taken into consideration that others might not "get it" even with considerable pc skill/knowledge.

How do I fix my issue? is it a bug? where do I go from here? IRC has no idea how to potentially aid me an infact not a single soul has heard of this plugin I've talked to over there. Maybe its just the #bukkit channel but I couldn't find a channel for this author or the plugin either, nor did anyone know where it could be found.

Great plugin concept, perhaps rushed a little? leaves so many unanswered questions/issues. Please help? Config File Here
