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.

Any errors in log? What version? Cause it looks like 1.7.1 is not yet ready for 1.6.2 :)
Everytime i try to do a /za command, white words come up and wont let me do anything. Am i missing something?
@kabbx
Ah okay, nice!
@manpower13
<sarcasm>
I figured I'd do the updates for all future versions of MC now so I don't have to do them later. Already almost done with 1.8.1</sarcasm>
(thanks, changelog fixed)
At the last update, 0.7.1, it says in changelog: updated to 1.7.1. Dont you mean 1.6.1? :)
@kabbx
thank you, that worked
@manpower13
Use /kc set <player> 0
Maybe a reset option for the killcounter? Or to reset one players killcounter?
This plugin is having problems spawning mobs in a region with the WorldGuard global region flag mob-spawning set to deny, even though the region with the arena is set to mob-spawning allow. I can spawn mobs with a spawn egg in the region with the ZArena spawner, but ZArena cant.
I want zombie-golem ! iron golems with a zombie skin with spoutcraft :3 ! It would be awesome as boss of a wave "
Kabbx, how about a like reviving system to make the duration of a game longer. That system being able to be disabled in like hardcore gamemodes...
@EpicTrance
The plugin cant find levels.ext, is there any file called levels.ext in the map zarena? If not, re-install the plugin at your server. Btw you have several SERVERE and ERRORS, maybe you should look at your other plugins too? These errors might cause lag ;)

Kabbx, maybe its a nice idea to show the stats of the game for the players at a scoreboard in-game? Then you dont have to send tons of messages what the score is of the players, but they can look at the scoreboard. And they are able to see how much money the team players do have. Thank you for reading this :), and sorry for bad english.
@viktorhubinette
You have to be more detailed in your reports for me to see what's wrong...
Also, see the configuration guide, there's a config option to not have the players' in game inventories be separate from their out of game inventories.
@kabbx:
the items disapear when people leave an arena! why?
@kabbx: Hi I Cant Do Anny Commands When I Are In The Arena i Cant Even Do /za leave
@manpower13
Send me your kills.ext and levels.ext, I'll look at it.
I tried what you said. Deleted the jar file and the map. Reputted the jar file in the plugins, reloaded the server and it created the default config with no maps and no killcounter scores. I tried to put my own killcounter.ext file instead of the default (without any scores' one) runned the command /za reload and tried again /kc. Didnt work, it doesnt know any player and after running one game with /za join, the killcounter file was the default size again.. What do i have to do know?
@H0lyJ3sus
It seems as though you have no gamemodes. If you do, send me your config so I can check something.
@MrREOM
There is no limit.
