Bukkit

I love the new update, but there should be an option in the config to just EXCLUDE worlds, not include them. So I don't have to type out 30 diffrent worlds to get it to do what I want.

EDIT: Configuration is STILL broken. Learn how to make configs please.

This is amazing. But, it seems to only attack the person that activates the script? /pv toggle. Then I place a pumpkin down and only goes after me.? I let other people place them down in my server but nothing happens. Of course they don't have OP so they can't do the command so, whats going on here?

Hey, could you make it so that the virus dosen't attack surten players? like maybe you could give surten players immunity or something

I can't change the config, every time I do it just reverts back to default upon reload

Why does it not work for me. I tried it on 1.4.7 and 1.4.6, i tried it with plugins and without other plugins, i deleted everything from my server's folder and redid everything, and it still didn't work. Does anyone know why or what i can do to get it? i really want this plugins.

I have it BUT there is one thing I would love to see added. Multi-world support. I could choose which worlds are infected. so my main world isnt flooded

Some more:

• Randomly spawn mobs wearing jack o' lanterns
  
• Growth to only be active during either the night or the day. Unless provoked. Configurable.
  
• Have some other block be the root of the virus, like obsidian, or direction oriented logs. Something else. So it's not simply pumpkins. Anything to allow it look more attractive, and less like a hailstorm of pumpkins. (Another plugin idea)
  
• Random skulls, from the previous failed adventurers.
  
• Have more viral intelligence:
  
  • Higher virus intensity around players, to scare them away or trap them faster.
    
  • Explode a few pumpkins rarely when the virus is trying to suffocate the player
    
  • Construct spires/trees/traps/spirals/colossus hand/colossus tree/maze, etc (Doesn't have to be all pumpkins)
    
  • Randomly move the viruses to other nearby pumpkins, to divert growth.
    
  • Event where nearby viruses will berserk attack anyone who attacks another part of it. Perhaps where the spreading will halt in one area, and then will divert the growth to the nearest viral pumpkin by the player, to get to them strangle them faster, for their erroneous ways. This one would require the player break event.
    
  • Have the pumpkin virus speak in the chat. Maybe.
    
  • When the player gets near the Heart, have it viruses coverage in on the player, to enter a protective state.
    
  • Option to target players from very far away, and head in that general direction.
    
  • Different strategies for trapping the player
    
  • Difficulty options to survive the virus
    
  • Option to make the virus peaceful if not attacked, or even if attacked.

Water and lava might cause more harm than good, if used to kill the virus, leaving the floating lava and water in the air. As it is, pumpkins can spread over water/lava, without much hindrance. Yet players using water as a defense against it would be a fun idea. So having it avoid water/lava would probably be the best option. Or cease growing in that area when it reaches any. (Move the virus to another area of the plant)

Some worthwhile ideas:

• Multiworld support (Or virus creation permission)
  
• Poison/Self destruct/Anti Virus (To help clean it up)
  
• Adding vines to the pumpkins to add anesthetics.
  
• Deny pumpkin virus creation to those without permission.
  
• Decay to pumpkins when they get too crowded.
  
• Ability to burrow through dirt and stone
  
• Have some of the pumpkins be jack o' lanterns
  
• Modified viruses (so they are not always pumpkins).
  
• Water/Lava being inaccessible to the virus, or be poison to it.
  
• Option Disable/enable these features in the config.
  
• Pumpkin Trees (Infect wildlife)
  
• Heart to the virus, that can be slayed to stop the spreading.
  
• The heart being a cool construct, maybe, or something like a snowman spawner.
  
• Natural Decay when disconnected from a Heart.
  
• Options to tweak movement behavior of the virus.
  
• Random chests with random loot under a handful of the pumpkins.
  

^{Some of these would take one hell of an algorithm.
I'll add more later, if you're willing to accept any of these.}

I can see this plugin going places. You can update different block types into it! Awesome Idea!
