EpicZones
EpicZones
Epicly fast and efficient polygon based area protection for your server.
This project is no longer being supported by jblaske, but I (courtartanis) will be resuming support for the plugin.
Please join me in wishing him the very best in health and happiness with all his future endeavors, new prospects and be glad to know that he and i will remain in contact and good friends.
Current Version: v0.37 (1.3.1-R2.0)
EpicZones was created to bridge the gap between existing are protection plugins and the needs of server administrators to not be restricted to cuboids or chunks. EpicZones provides server managers with the kind of area protection they most desire! Polygons and Circles! Easy to set up, easy to configure and super lightweight on your server's resources.
The EpicZones team aims to make EpicZones a must-have for any server administrator who wants full control over their server; protecting themselves, their servers, their players and most importantly of all - the work and dedication that their players put into a minecraft world.
Not only does it work for protection, it works with slight RPG aspects in terms of giving users or zone owners a sense of pride when they enter their own zones, knowing it is theirs and giving them enthusiasm to make it the best it can be; whilst knowing it can potentially be fully protected!
....not ONLY THAT.....but, due to Polygonal zones - your players don't have to build uniformed square buildings to comply with zoning regulations, how about a weird alien shape with a million sides? It'll take you a while to draw...but it's theoretically possible!
Features
- Polygonal and Circular area creation. (Not just cuboids!)
- In-game zone creation.
- Provide a Circular border to your map.
- Hierarchical Permissions with Child and Parent Zones. Eg. Build, Destroy or Entry control on a per zone/per group basis.
- Display Entering and Exiting messages in chat.
- Enhanced /who
- Advanced control of zone based regeneration
- Many zone specific controls for things like Fire, Explosions and Mob spawning control
- Zone specific command control to disallow the use of certain in-game chat commands whilst in a specific zone.
Plugin recommendations
- HeroChat
- Most perms plugins. PermissionsEX or bPerms are highly recommended.
Beta
If you are interested in participating in the beta versions of EpicZones to see and help shape the upcoming features, please send a PM to jblaske with information regarding your server (how many players, how many concurrent active players, server ip address).
Support
For any issues, please document them and create an EpicZones ticket. This will help ensure EpicZones gets restored to full working order as soon as possible.
Wiki
EpicZones Wiki (Slightly Outdated, but still relevant in most cases.)
No permissions or ops support? Any player can create zones? O.o
Is it possible to set a height/depth limit for protected zones? I'm sure this is covered somewhere, but I don't really have the time to look for it. Sorry for the inconvenience.
@mozz_vader
Ah yes, apologies - the Wiki is under development as we've just moved to git :)
for build/destroy/entry - use allow or deny instead of true or false, respectively.
Any questions feel free to ask, until it's updated.
Thanks
Hey guys!!! AWESOME plugin!!!
Just a sugestion: The wiki should be updated with the "permissions" options since it was kinda hard for me to find how to set those (it uses the flag "deny" instead of "false")
I found it in a CourtArtanis' comment on page 3 :P@TheScavenger101
https://github.com/RandomAppDev/EpicZones/wiki/Usage
Check out this page, it has commands and usage :)
Please no flaming I admit to being stupid.
I get everything to work with this plugin but I don't know how to do certain stuff.
Basically what I have is an open wilderness with pvp enabled as well as building/destroying there.
What I want to achieve is set zones in that wilderness to a certain player to have as their safezone, where only they can build and destroy and where pvp is off.
Is this possible if so how ?
I've managed to create zones and I figured how to set the flags.
Any help on how to solve this would be great. Thanks in advance.
Hey everybody,
How has version 0.37 been working for everybody? How many servers have messed with the buyable zones?
Buyable zones are now included! https://github.com/RandomAppDev/EpicZones/wiki/Economy-Integration
@Chriz2012
In the epic zones config file, just set the border setting to false.
Anyway to have an unlimited border size in a world? Installed and any user outside 1000 blocks cant build anymore but I use this to protect many things on my server. So would Border:-1 be fine to use for unlimited?
@awesome5555
By default yes.
In %/plugins/epiczones/config.yml
You will find 3 parameters...
globalZoneDefaultDestroy: true
globalZoneDefaultBuild: true
globalZoneDefaultEnter: true
That sets those permissions for everyone in all zones, unless they are listed. By default they are set to "true", you can change these to false so anyone who hasn't been specified in the zone permissions will be affected by these.
In a specific zone, edit the zone and type
and that will set the permissions respectively for that specific zone.
Please note, you cannot modify global zone files (world.yml, world_nether.yml) in-game or with the console; you have to edit them manually via FTP. If you do this, remember to preserve the syntax and be careful.
Backup your server before making any unfamiliar changes.
Can default people destroy and build in zones? if so can i go to the config files and allow that to not happen?
@Feycat
Very unlikely EZ is causing shutdown unless there is a memory leak we've missed.
With regards to what @jblaske said - please remember to attach server logs (console errors and a startup log of your server)
As for the zombies, epiczones prevents them spawning within the zone but does not stop them wandering in.
A plugin like LWC will stop them bashing doors down
Cheers
@Feycat
This is the first i've heard about something like this, please submit a ticket so we can start looking into it properly.
@jblaske
When is this likely to be updated for the 1.3.2 API? We're having problem with our server shutting down on a regular basis and the cause of the error seems to be Epiczones.
Also, is there any way for this plugin to handle zombie seiges? Despite having our entire city set to no monster spawning, we do still regularly get zombie seiges bothering our NPCs.
I'm looking for a couple Server admins to run a beta build of the next version of Epic Zones. This is to test Econ connected buyable zones.
Your server must be running Vault to use this.
Please send me a PM with information about your server.
How do I draw and does this make it so griefers won't be able to destroy my spawn
