ZArena
Source | Bug Reports | Forums
A fun arena based zombie survival game, vaguely based off of Call of Duty Zombies, only taken to a whole new level. Setup an arena in minutes and fight against wave after wave of unique, customizable zombies to see how far you can get before being overrun!

Features
- Fully customizable zombies, skeletons, and wolves. Design your own types using YAML files. You can customize path finding range, speed, damage, equipment, special abilities, damage immunities, special effects, and more!
- Unlimited waves. The only limit is how far you can get without being killed!
- Wolf and skeleton waves.
- Easy to make arenas, with definable spawns, purchase signs, toll signs for doors, and death spawns.
- Games automatically run without maintenance. When a game ends, you have the option (in the config) to start a vote for which map should be run next.
- Different gamemodes to keep the game interesting. Such as, a hardcore gamemode, and a scavenger gamemode. These, like custom zombies, can be created using YAML files.
- Incredibly customizable. Along with customizable zombies, you can also customize the number of zombies per wave, the health of zombies per wave, starting items for players, how often wolf/skeleton waves occur, how much money you get per kill, whether or not the game auto runs, whether or not players auto-join the game, and more!
- Smart zombies with pathfinding, so players can't just hole up on one end of the map and only have to face the zombies that spawn near them.
- Built in kill counter to show who the top killers in the game are.
Spout Features
- You can press the 'o' key to configure personal spout options.
- You can press the ' ~ ' key to view a custom tab screen, with shows the stats of all ingame players.
- Entities can have custom textures.
- A custom voting popup comes up during voting.
Potential Upcoming Features
- Option for zombies to open doors instead of just destroying them.
- Support for World Guard, so that you can set a region for each level. The region will reset after each game back to its original state, and players/zombies will be unable to leave the region. Non-ZArena entities will also be unable to spawn in this region. Having a level have a region will be optional.
- More entity abilities and special effects.

- Level Making Guide
- Command Guide

yeah 1.5.1 :P
Seems to be an issue with bukkit. Try a different craftbukkit version.
EDIT: Or you're trying to use it on 1.5.1.
@CoasterCrazy Ive got exactly the same problem, 1.5 doesnt work for me!
I download v 0.5 but when starting it up, it error in console and says its 4 not 5, see cpaste of error below
Maybe u uploaded the wrong file? :( I downloaded again in case I did download the wrong one but nope, same error :(
work in 1.5 with libigot :D
Of course it isn't working for 1.5...it hasn't been updated to 1.5 yet.
like the others, it too doesn't work for me on 1.5 :P
ZArena is not working for me in 1.5
I dont want to update, untill Zarena works for 1.5. Does it work with 1.5?

ZArena is not working for me on Bukkit 1.5 anyone else having problems?
Maybe its an idea to allow a type of support? Like you have a sign, and if you have enough money you can buy help. The help team is a iron golem. It will just kill the zombies automaticly, and after a few rounds it will get automaticly killed. Its nice because it will give some variation to the game!

@CoasterCrazy
You made a ticket for it, and I responded. See here: http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/zarena/tickets/14-killall-command-after-za-leave-runs-on-all-worlds/
@kabbx
Bro you forgot my post, can you look at my post and reply? pretty please? http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/zarena/?comment=157
@ChompSkiii
I'll look into fixing it in the next update. For now, you'll just have to restart the server to change things, sorry.
Is there a fix for the problem that @Dreamloop has because i have to same one. Thanks!
Hi, when people type /zarena leave its as if it runs the /killall command and it kills all animals, including rounded up and colored sheep from ALL worlds. Is there a way so it only runs in a specific world and not in all worlds? I currently have a zombies arena in one world and people tp to it and when they leave, they go back to the regular world. Your help is appreciated.
Thanks!
@LeTruent
Your first two questions aren't possible. For the second one, however, you can set the price of all items in the gamemode to half (or some other amount).
I may add new mobs in the future, though it's not a high priority, as the plugin is supposed to be based around zombie survival.
and... could you add other mobs as Iron Golem ?
and how to change the amount of money obtained when I kill a zombie in an other gamemode ?
