Getting Started
How to get started with the Hunger Games Map Generator Server. (Old video tutorial here)
Download
- Download the latest HGMGS JAR file.
- Save the JAR file in the "plugins" folder of your Bukkit server.
- Recommended plugins to download (example plugin in parenthesis):
- Block-protection plugin (PermissionsEx): to prevent players from breaking blocks in the arenas
- Anti-cheat or cheat log plugin (NoCheatPlus): to prevent players from cheating during a game
- World manager plugin (ModifyWorld): to change world settings of the arena like pvp or mob spawning
- Chat manager plugin (ChatManager): to change how chat messages show up
Run
- Run your server once and stop it. This will create the configuration files, generators, settings, etc.
Customize
- Change the configuration file to your liking. Or, simply leave the defaults.
- Change the arena configuration file if you want settings other than the ones set in config.yml.
- Change the language file if you want texts to be different than the defaults.
- If using permissions and the default permissions are not suitable, set up player permissions.
