Are you kidding me? After 10 seconds on the server i have 10 million zombies & my game crashes.
@kennykyle1
Just set only-spawn-zombies to true, theoretically it should spawn zombies during the day.
this is awesome ! thx! But can you add a feature that zombies can spawn on daylight too please?
Cool plugin
@ForFun_Everest
Oops there was a mistake in the world verification code for that function.
This should be a fix
As for zombies spawning in the day, if only-spawn-zombies is true, zombies should indeed spawn during the day. Theoretically.
@deApollo The "Stop zombies from burning in daylight!" function doesn't work :/ Anyway to fix this? And do zombies spawn in daylight?
@deApollo
That's what I did. Thank for adding it though. I might use it later on.
@Zachary_DuBois I'm sorry you don't like it, it is however, completely configurable! Just set zombie-controller-enabled to false, and all advanced functionality will be disabled!
I thought my server went retarded when I updated this without reading the change log. I honestly don't like the zombie spawn controller. I'm going to be turning that off XD
@S1lverK3y
Sounds quite doable, I'll add it in the next update!
Maybe Add an config if the spawned zombies armor will be dropped when killed when an defined armor is set?
Alright thanks, I will check it out now and let you know, cheers~
EDIT: Ah, works like a charm. Thanks!
@MrMightyGnome
Alrighty, I believe I have found and fixed the mistake.
HERE, is a version with the fix compiled for 1.4.6 since the Dev Link with the fix in the main post is for 1.4.7
it looks like this... http://pastie.org/5744057 im using 1.4.6 R.0.3 craftbukkit
@joseph96
This is not possible without some kind of client/server mod. The only reason I am able to user player heads is because of the new head system in minecraft.
@MrMightyGnome
Could you post your entire config file into a site such as pastie.org so I can take a closer look?
I have this "get-equip-from-player: true" setup but after i kill the zombie with player's item, it drops no player items at all...
This is my other config for zombie drops.
use-loot-percentage: true loot-percentage-upper-bound: 100 loot-percentage-lower-bound: 80
Would be cool if the zombie was to wear the players skin. Please implement this :)
@toxictroop
Could you elaborate?
