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.

Hi! Is this error that comes up and crashes my server shortly after due to me using zarena 0.5.1 on bukkit 1.5.1-R0.3 or related to something else?
Thanks,
Oscar
@kabbx Perhaps an idea if you could set rewards? If you finished round 10 succesfully, you will receive 100 money? Is that possible?
Edit: I mean not in-zarena money, i mean server money
as I put it in the sand is not unlimited estamine
Sorry my bad english and good job!
@MrREOM
Okay, thanks for reaction i will try that!
@manpower13
Use world guard they have flags that can restrict commands
Could you make join signs? And maybe even status signs like what players are on the arena what arenas people can join and what round they are on. Also, if it was possible for people to spectate they would be able to fly in the arena only and they couldn't interact with any blocks at all and they would be invisible to the players of the arena.
@kabbx
Thanks for reaction, but i mean in zarena -game. There arent plugins that can do that.. I dont want people be allowed to do /spawn in the game. Thats what i meant, not in the whole server, but only when you've joined Zarena.
@manpower13
That's the kind of thing that would be better handled by another plugin. Their are plenty out there.
@richard_boorman
This isn't COD. Neither fits very well with the game. Their are other plugins out there that add guns to the game, though, if you want to use those with the plugin.
@vampirictorch
This would be fairly difficult, as I'd have to change a lot about how the plugin works to do that. I can accomplish pretty much everything you mentioned on zombies, with a bit of work.
Just an idea random box weapon box?
maybe a gun?
Hey there again,
It might be a nice idea if you have a command whitelist. Any command in this list are allowed in-game. If you use a command that isnt in this list, it wont get executed! This would be nice for cheat-protection.
hey, just an idea, havent tested yet but read all about it and read up on it (About to install/configure/and test) pretty soon.
what if you made it compatible with citizens/hostile ones instead of zombies? as an alternative configuration. this way you can change the size/age of the citizen, and with spout if that is what they use, they can actually re-skin him into any monster that a skin exists or make a custom one for him, and they can create a whole new series of monsters just for this arena, just an idea I do not know how good it sounds to you.
@CoasterCrazy
It does work in my game now, i updated bukkit to an higher 1.5.1 version and it works now!
@CoasterCrazy
Try again using one of the auto-generated backups.
I got the 1.5.1 bukkit and ZArena v0.5.1 and as mentioned by manpower13 below, my previously made maps made in 1.4.7 are gone. Is there a way to get them back? Thanks :)
Can you m ake some kind of mob arena like chest class feature? Or make it complatible with Crackshot? Thanks :)
Uhm, i noticed something strange. I updated ZArena, and all my maps are gone! The killcounter did not reset, and my config didnt either. Only my maps are gone..
But the levels.ext is still there
Edit: Sorry... i updated my bukkit version, and now it works haha
@TheFitSoldier
No, read the desricption.. Spout optional ;)
Is this Spout only?
The update to 1.5.1 is done, just need to wait for the file to be approved. Should only take another day.
@kabbx
Im using 1.5.1 either :). Okay, i will wait untill ZArena 1.5.1 has finished!
