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.)
Nice plugin, I've been looking for this kind of plugin for a while :)
Keep up the great work!
Where can I find the permissions? Cause I'm trying to move in the world and it says that I don't have the permission to enter it :/
@MJcb
It's in the process :)
@CourtArtanis
When you will update it ? I really need it because it doesn´t protect anything and all people can destroy things , I have the alpha version on 1.4.6 and I use it with world guard , until the alpha it has worked perfectly Thanks for continue this plugin ¡¡ ;D
I've officially transferred ownership over to CourtArtanis.
@Creep_Freak
There will be a continual new-feature freeze until the plugin itself works as intended.
Feel free to submit an enhancement request on Github, but it will most likely be of the lowest priority :)
Please use the Wiki until such time.
@CourtArtanis
Thank you so much I like this more the WorldGuard but the flags can be done a bit easier maybe a list of the flags u can choose from in-game? Cuz I have to look on the Wiki now.
CourtArtanis, do not fail us. . . *bows to your will*
All,
I will be overtaking the future development of EpicZones :)
I'll post more information soon, but for now - don't worry.
Cheers
Noooo, one of my favorites plugins... I hope that somebody will take over :)
I want to let everybody know, that I am officially discontinuing support for all of my plugins. The time required to maintain them and improve them to the level that they should be just isn't available to me, and hasn't been for a while. Rather than keep trying to barely support them, i'm going to just cut the ties so that I can focus that energy elsewhere.
If somebody wants to swoop in and take over on the project, that's fine with me, just send me a PM here and i'll get you set up to take over.
What is the permissions??
@JericM
Agree with fully. EpicZones is the best protection plugin I use and it is recommended by myself to other server admins often - its becoming hard for them to accept to use it because of the unusual behaviour (permissions plugins support, null errors as mentioned by JericM)
Updates always appreciated. Any help I can give (good Java and C experience, however none with bukkit api)?
Don't let it die, creator!
If EpicZones were updated and the funky NULL errors were taken care of, and the permissions issue fixed with Groupmanager, I think that people would flood to this plugin.
I won't write a ticket anymore because I just know that the creator isn't making this plugin a priority, which he has said. That tells me "you'll get it when you get it". So I am not surprised that there was little feedback for the new Alpha build, given how the plugin has been advertised lately.
This plugin would soar in popularity if it were given priority and the prime reason is it's user-friendliness. That's one thing it has above World Guard or any other protection plugin.
I refuse to use anything else because of its user friendliness. I also know that it's not as good as it can be due to neglect, but I am patient enough to wait.
If/when the time comes for this plugin to retire, I will be sad indeed! Virtual tears will stream down my face and dramatic gestures will spew forth.
Don't let it die, creator!
can you counter the /ps visualise command in ps stones?
@jblaske
Can you add a scan feature that will scan the world for a certain block id(s) and protect them?
Hey, where can i find the permission nodes?
@Goullou
Not abandoned, just not very high priority for me. Tis a very busy time for me right now - plus i've gotten very little feedback from the alpha I posted, aside from your comment about spawn protection not seeming to work.
No more reaction. Flat line on the electrocardiogram. Does it mean the project abandoned? ... only our eyes remaining to cry...
Is anyone else having problems with "ezzone.admin" ? I have that permisson and i have tried op ... also useing Pex and can not get create to work ? anyone else ? Oh and the Wiki page seems to of lost alot of info / Pages namely the Perms Page ?
