This is funny! Make sure that when you join The game (after loading bftd for the first time) That you are in doors! If the zeds come indoors They will kill your character over and over again! Like they did me! lol :) great plugin!
I agree with RonHutchCraft, those zombie children run waaay too fast even on 1 and 0 lol
so any one have the command to delete a spawn location? bftd setspawn
i would think it would be bftd delspawn but im lost
Dunno but the spawning is very strange, it spawns zombie very very close to you.. Especially when you got Zombie populator activated, is it just me? :<
It just keeps getting better!
I just do not know what to say... This plugin killed me so many times! :( I finally toned down bftd in the config file, This really is the best DayZ plugin out there! I need to nerf the sprinting of the children, I already have them set at 1... Hey listen Thanks soo much! Can I create a hash tag
Wow I completely agree with ApocoMatt-exactly what I needed. I have some questions and some feature requests:
Autorestock for chests would be fantastic. Glad it's a planned feature!
Is this compatible with RPGItems?
Does this have a world protection feature, or do I need to protect with another plugin?
Another thing which would improve this plugin is a little more control; for example the ability to create the autorestock chests, choose their contents, etc. It seems the zombies are fairly customizable, and it would be nice if the chests were too.
Thanks for the epic plugin, - Solo
This is just what I needed. What I really want is autorestock for the chests.
Keep up the good work This is amazing.
great work bro every one on the server loves it also this is one stop shop for this plugin every thing you need for this gamemode is built in
Can you add a way of allowing anvils to be used?
@deApollo thanks for the fast answer and your plugin ;)
Good work men :D
@Scre4mer
Yep, just set the enabled worlds to only that world!
Can i also make only a world with it ?
Quick note, I've uploaded the 1.5.2 version but I'm not sure how complete and stable it is. I believe it should work properly, but any feedback would be great!
@xBlueXFoxx
Possibly, the health system isn't that internal anymore, at least in the dev version I have.
Any chances of adding a crackshot exception to the bleeding system, currently health comes back due to the internal health system.
I think I will be releasing an update, to bring us in line with the latest version of Bukkit, sometime this weekend.
I haven't worked on this in a while, so I have to see if I added any new features since the latest release.
I'd be willing to donate $10 to the project if we can get a 1.6 update and a CrackShot hook.
@lvlercenary
This plugin still works absolutely just fine on the RB build of Bukkit, only thing that's a issue, and always has been is zombie spawning in your face and in walls
this plugin is dying......its an amazing plugin...and the author abandoned it....
