Hi,

This issue has been fixed in the new update (SafeCreeper 1.3.4). Please take a look at this post for more information about the update.

@Q2Lummox

As you can see the new version has been released of Safe Creeper with a lot of new, cool features. (Link). I took a look at the explosive problem but I can't seem to fix it, I'm sorry. The plugin is bypassing Safe Creeper somehow. I actually suggest you to disable this feature inside the HardMode plugin and enable 'CustomExplosionSize' inside Safe Creeper inside the 'TNTControl', this should cause something similair.

Hope this helps.

Safe Creeper v1.3.4 - Mob Equipment and more...

Safe Creeper 1.3.4 has been released. This update contains some epic new features. The first first feature you would notice is that a feature, called 'CustomEquipment' has been added. This allows you to set the equipment of mobs the advanced way. For example you can give a zombie a sign with knockback 20, and a glass block on his head. Documentation about this feature will be available as soon as possible, which should also contain an example file, and a video tutorial. When the documentation is finished, a message will be posted on the Safe Creeper pages. There are also a few other small features added like 'CanPickupItems' or features to set mobs to spawn as baby!

Important Note: This version requires Bukkit-1.4.5-R1.0 or above for this update. Lower versions won't work and will cause a huge wall of errors in the console!

Download

Because the bukkit administrators need to validate the new plugin files, the download probably isn't available yet on this page. We highly recommend you to download the file from bukkit or my (timvisee's) website:

How to update Safe Creeper from 1.3.3 or lower

Important! Different than before: Because of the newly added file updater it's way easier to update Safe Creeper. The only thing you've to do is update the SafeCreeper.jar file. All your config files are automaticly updated as soon as you restart the Safe Creeper plugin with the new .jar file. Also, all the new features are automaticly added to your config files, so there's no need to fully set up all the config files again!

How to install Safe Creeper 1.3.4

If you haven't installed an earlier version of Safe Creeper on your server you've to do the following to install Safe Creeper on your server. The first thing you've to do is download the files of Safe Creeper 1.3.4. Inside this downloaded .zip file is a SafeCreeper.jar file. You need to place this file into your plugins folder of your server. Make sure you've shut down your server first. Then you also need to copy the Safe Creeper (from the downloaded .zip file) into your plugins folder, because this folder contains all the config files. If you are not able to add this folder you don't have to copy them. Safe Creeper will automaticly generate it's config files if they aren't available on start up. Although I highly suggest to copy this folder if you are able to. After this you can make your changes in the config files if you want and you can start up your server again.

Changelog for 1.3.4

• Added 'CustomEquipment' feature to set advanced mob equipment.
• Added 'SpawnAsBaby' which a custom chance to supported controls. (Chicken, Cow, Mushroom, Ocelot, Pig, SHeep, Villager, Wolf, Zombie, ZombiePigman)
• Added custom age feature to supported controls. (Chicken, Cow, Mushroom, Ocelot, Pig, Sheep, Villager, Wolf)

• Changed Enabled inside the reviving feature to be false by default.
• Fixed error caused when TVNLib isn't installed on Safe Creeper startup.
• Updated for Bukkit 1.4.5-R1.0

Update:

A new version will be released this evening, this contains some bug fixes, but also some new cool features, like 'CanPickupItems' but also the ability to set the equipment of mobs! This equipment feature is very advanced, and you can do anything you want with it, you can give zombies a sword with an enchantment, or a sign with knockback 20 for example. You can even put a dirt block on his head. This is fully customizable with chances. You can create different equipment sets to give zombies different types of equipment. For example a rare set, which only has a chance of 1%, with some rare items in this set, and a regulair set with a chance of 99% with some reguilair items.

If you have any suggestions really quick, please tell us!

Hi, I'm working on documentation for all these new features, for hte Locations feature too. I suggest you to take a look at this video for the reviving stuff:

I might finished some documentation in the evening ;)

About the locations thing, this c ould be used to set (for example) that creepers will explode in factions or in Mob Arena's, and other things like that. This will also be available in the upcomming documentation!

Also, I'm goign to release a new version this evening, witch has support for equipment for monsters!! It's VERY advanced and everything is possible using this feature, for example even the chance they drop their armor, so you can set it to 0 if it's armor players may not get. Also, you can add enchantmetns, for example a sign with knockback 20, everything is possible!

I'll make a video about all this features, and I hope I finished the documentation as soon as possible.

Btw, I forgot to tell you, it is possible to set creepers are able to (only) explode underneath see level, here's an example for this:

CreeperControl:
    Enabled: true
    DestroyWorld: false
    Locations:
        Levels:
            '0-64':
                DestroyWorld: true
TNTControl:
    Enabled: true
    DestroyWorld: false
    Locations:
        Levels:
            '0-64':
                DestroyWorld: true

Hope this helps!
Thanks for your 'rating'.

@Q2Lummox

I'm sorry, I totally forgot to tell you. I took a look at the problems and cant find a solution yet. I wasn't fully finished which exploring the plugin, but I had to release this update because of a little bug fix. Tomorrow I'll have some time to explore the plugin again, I hope I'm able to fix it then. Sorry again.

Please read this message for more information and my answer :)

@Wu_Zhao

Hi,
I'm sorry for the late reply. I think I know what the problem causes. THere's a plugin called 'TVNLib' which could be found on the add-ons page, this plugin is needed to use some features from Safe Creeper (unique features like mob revivers). Because the add-on is not installed this error shows up. This error shouldn't cause any problems thought. You can also install the add-on to fix the problem temporary. I'll release a fix as soon as possible which will probably be around tomorrow :).

Hope this helps,
Tim Visée
