@deApollo
Do you have an ETA for the next update :)?
@KalisPro
I'll be fixing the worldguard integration in the next update.
@chlitto
It's coming in the next update
Hi, I have a question. When player enters in the area where is "flag pvp deny" that Zombies don't take player's life. Can I turn this somehow in the plugin configuration so that they take player's life in this area?
Will you ever support the bukkit native health system? It would be nice if i could block damage using essentials / worldguard / modifyworld / factions etc.
I am going to be releasing an updated version of the zombie populator which only populates chunks around the player. This should fix most of the zombie overload issues.
Whenever I enable this, it spawns 20,000 zombies. And every time you try to kill them, it just spawns more. Halp? =( SAME FOR ME
Hey, On our Server, we want players to be able to drink milk to cure infection, but after drinking it. Your left with an empty bucket. Could you possibly add an option which removes the bucket, after you have drank the milk? I'de really appreciate it! :)
EDIT : Also, you have a bug where if you stand on a chest, your invincible to zombies... Could you implement a pull feature? Which pulls the player down if they are 1 block higher than the zombies?
Whenever I enable this, it spawns 20,000 zombies. And every time you try to kill them, it just spawns more. Halp? =(
Suggestion
Be able to choose where zombies and chests spawn, then this would be the best DayZ plugin released.
Example:
/bftd set zspawn -Will set a zombie spawn in the location you're standing
/bftd set cspawn - Will set a randomized restocking chest where you're standing.
Config looks like this **:
Zombie spawns:
Zombie spawn amount per 10 seconds:
Chest config:
Chest restock time In seconds:
Items that can spawn in the chest:
Stone:1:%5
That would show that 1 stone has a 5% chance of spawning in the chest.
@Minevolution
I really love the idea of the backpack and will probably be adding it in the future! Not so sure about what you meant with the other suggestions.
@EpicTrance
I will try my best to fix the bugs. I am not familiar with the minez healing system and probably won't be adding it. I am however thinking about adding the spawn point concept.
Hi !
I love this plugin and i have a suggestion for you !
- Add BagPack (small,medium and large with system permission) - Possibility to select zone for spawn of zombie and chest with worldedit or simply with a sign down of a block for example. - Change the name of items on chest for example Paper = Bandages like on the configuration of essentials withs kits.
Thank's for reading this post and sory for my bad english, i'm french. Have a good day ! bye.
Are you gonna fix these issues:
- sometimes when people die in other worlds that are not bftd it says you are now a bandit
- skulls still drop even set to false in config
And are you gonna implement these features:
- Can you add the minez healing system in the config if you are familiar with minez pls
- static spawnpoints and a lobby area
I would really appreciate it thanks ;)

@deApollo
Can you add the minez healing system in the config if you are familiar with minez pls
@EpicTrance
Right click with a bandage to stop yourself from bleeding. Right click someone else with a blood bottle/whatever you set the item id to begin a blood transfusion.
