Fear the Darkness
Fear the Darkness
Fear the darkness is a mechanics/roleplaying mod that allows you to strike fear into players when they are in dark areas, similar to the game Amnesia.
- Players standing in dark areas will proceed through a sequence of roleplaying events, culminating in doom.
- Adds a new layer of gameplay depth, potentially forcing players to play only in well lit areas.
- Great for preventing hiding in caves on a hellish Monster Apocalypse world.
- Fully customizable.
- Script your own chat/damage/spawn events.
- Set a depth where players are alerted to being too deep and trigger the darkness event.
- Timer resets when players enter 'light' (what you set it to).
- Works with torches at light 8, or sunlight at light 16.
- Color codes supported.
- Set your own darkness level, to allow for varying intensity.
- Spawn mobs when their curse level reaches whatever you decide.
- COMPATIBLE WITH MONSTER APOCALYPSE

I've got the latest version, v1.3. I've also tried v1.2 just in case, but that doesn't work either.
EDIT: v1.2 actually started working when I got a fresh config. Thanks for the help
@Grinjr
Make sure your on the correct version then.
When I go deep it starts to spamming the "You are too deep......"
How do you get the zoom effect and sound from in the video? Does anybody know?
@TommehRRR
I made it 15 seconds per event. But after 15 seconds, the event triggers and begins to spam a ton.
@Grinjr
Just make it less common, you know, instead of 5 seconds per event make it 60?
Worked best for me.
I have an issue with this plugin, whenever a player enters a darkness area or goes underneath the depth level, they get spammed with the message that it sends. Is there any way to fix this?

@Wedhro
Sure, I'll add that. You can use creative mode for now.
Cool plugin, thanks maintaining it. Do you plan to include permissions so a group of players can be immune to fear of darkness?

@N1T3SLAY3R
Problem that is very common, its proccessor intensive, it would make the server run too many checks and maybe cuase a memory leak, crashing the server in a day.
Think that the machine is sending a check every 2 seconds to every player in the server, checking the hight, and then running the code it has to for every action...
lol kk awesome xD it doesnt iven have to be a quick check, i was thinking id check ever lets say 2 seconds, cause the players probably wouldnt notice it at that timing anyways xD
@N1T3SLAY3R
Sure. I'll just including a big warning about lag in the generated config and it should be fine.
alright, will could you add 2 settings then? 1 for checking, and the second for desplaying the message? because i dont really want it to check only once every 30 seconds when i want the message to display, although i probably could cheat this by setting empty messages in-between but other than that could you possibly do this?
@N1T3SLAY3R
That's one of the unfortunate sacrifices I had to make. Checking light level that often would lag the server.
i dont know exacly how this plugin is setup, but in the config it says how you can set the time interval inbetween interval checks, by any chance could you set a second check, where it checks where your location is (in light or not) or a trigger as to when you exit/enter a certain light level? Because i sorta want a 30 second interval before the events trigger but i dont want that to be the only check inbetween to see if your in light, because you could have gone to the surface/light and back into darkness within that time without it detecting that.
@blainicus
turns out none of the suggestions used the right spelling of Multiverse-Core
@awolfgang
If you're using a multi-world plugin, then you need to add it to the plugin.yml as a soft depend.
If not, then Tom is correct.
@awolfgang
use the template, invalid world means it either doesent exist or is defined incorrectly.
delete worlds that don't exist too.
