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.

Is there a limit to the number of doors that an arena can have for a person to by a redstone type door or a normal type door?
We got a [WARNING] in our console:

@MrREOM
Send a ticket to your server host requesting the change. This isn't really something I can feasibly fix.
My server host doesn't let me use that section is there another way to fix this problem? As you can see another person has had the same problem it's not just me sadly :/
@MrREOM
It already does clear entities at the end of the round. You can have another plugin prevent all drops.
That's not a crash, that's Multicraft stopping the server for some odd reason. I actually had the same issue with Multicraft when I used it before this plugin even existed. Try setting 'Minecraft Response Timeout' in your advanced options to 0.
@kabbx
This is what happeneds when I join my second arena and the first mob round starts:
10.05 22:39:10 [Multicraft] Stopping server! 10.05 22:39:10 [Multicraft] Ping timeout! Restarting server...
it doesn't save it as a crash but the server does crash. When ever you can could you please come on my server i'd like to try it out so you can see for yourself.
@kabbx
Can you please make it so when a player dies it doesn't drop the items and it clears the inventory or when the arena is finished it clears the entities.
@manpower13
Is is giving you any errors on startup? If so, send them to me.
If not, try reinstalling ZArena and reinserting your backups a few times. Make sure you name everything correctly.
If it won't work, then send me a link to download the files, and I'll look at them myself.
Uhm Kabbx? I've updated from 0.5.1 to 0.6.2 and all my levels and killcounter stats dissapeared! I used my levelsbackup and my earlier own made killcounter backups and it didnt work.. Every time i reload/restart my server it clears the levels.ext and killcounter.ext with my old stats.. How can i fix this?
/za list shows zero arenas and killcounter doesnt know any players. Thanks
@MrREOM
Could you show me your server logs up to and shortly after the 'crash'?
@kabbx
@TinyTom38 seems to be having the same problem as me because I couldn't find a crash report either when I joined the second arena the plugin restarts the server. It's a crash but idk why it says restart.
@kabbx
Sorry I cant find the crash report it just instantly stops and it only seems to happen when im using the plugin. I will keep a look and see if there is anything else.
@TinyTom38
You'll have to give me the crash report, or I can't solve the problem
Hi i have this on my server and i have everything set up, but when i try to play it lets me but sometimes crashes the server. Any ideas why? I have beta craftbukkit (1.5.2) and the latest version of this (v0.6.1 for 1.5.2)
Hi maker of Zarena
i got some problems i can't create a map . if i typ this /za create woodenhouse it says /zarena enter | leave | vote <1|2|3> | stats | list| alive | session | gamemode | info | wave | dia
so i can't make a map ?
sorry for my bad english:( i hope that you can help me........
Greats , muispiep1
Do you know if the plugin is working for 1.5.2 craftbukkit now?
@ryanblanksma
It's not possible at the moment but im just saying it as a suggestion if he could add it in a future update.
@MrREOM
Is that possible with the plugin? The plugins doens't create a config file..
@kabbx
Ok, thanks for telling me when you update the plugin could you add join signs for example: [ZArena] {name of arena}
the first line would be configurable also maybe some stats/ info signs that you would be able to create about each arena for example: [ZArena] info {name of arena}
that would display if the arena is online like: ONLINE {in green} OFFLINE {in red} that would be on the 3rd line and then how many players it would look something like this:
[ZArena] 10 players online ONLINE {name of arena}
And if you could please add an option so people can't drop items in an arena on the config and so that it clears the entities left on the floor after an arena has been finished
@MrREOM
The update probably broke everything...again
