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.

- Permissions

@LastTulare
Sorry for taking so long to respond, been on vacation. You definitely shouldn't have to remake all of the levels from scratch. It's probably too late now, but did you get any errors on start up when the levels.ext was getting cleared?
@omgitsbob12
Any errors in the console?
Hey awesome plugin! I was just wondering, could you add permissions for signs? I want to add donator only items, but idk how. If you can already could you tell me how? thanks!
Having an issue with zombies not spawning when buying doors.
I made my door sign like this: ZBuy 250 -uo door1
Then did this command to set spawns: /za markzspawn door1 1
But they don't spawn when I buy the door.
I re setup one of my levels, and it saved after I restarted the server, I guess the maps just need to be set up again.
Running 0.9.1 and craftbukkit #2974
Before moving to 1.7 the 1.6.4 version worked perfect. All my levels were set up right, all smooth sailing. Right now, when players do /za join, the vote process starts, but it wont show what maps or game modes. You can vote, but after 30 seconds, it will prompt to vote again, and players never join the game.
-edit-
I realized that it does not save my levels.ext files and when I insert a copy of them from the previous 1.6 version it just wipes them out. Do I need to set up the levels from scratch? or will it not save them at all?
here is a vid of the zombie pig man bug: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyTW5gKjxYI
what it will take for the new version of zarena with all the news announced? :)
Big bug in the PIG ZOMBIE config even whit World Exclusive: true
pig zombies walk REALY fast in all worlds can this be fixed ?
This really needs more Sign Support. My player base is almost entirely children and most of them can't muster the skill to type out the commands themselves. /za Join and /za Leave would be the best, so they can join from Spawn and leave in the Death Lobby. Otherwise great plugin. It's a huge hit on my server.
@kabbx
Not sure if you'd put a use to this or not, but this is my custom scoreboard class. It creates scoreboards kinda like my plugin InfoBoard
https://gist.github.com/SniperzCiinema/7962216
@Kosmoh
is there language.yml file for custom traslation
https://github.com/smaltby/ZArena/blob/master/src/main/resources/language.yml
What about custom messages? The plugin's is fantastic, but i think you should add it.
No problem but I thought that might make it compatible with bungee to make a kickhub instead of a normal kick, so I was wondering if you could put an option to kick from the server after the game Or if you can add that at the end of the game console type a command. This plugin is very similar to the game Killing Floor. If only it were possible to put the option is not mandatory to be able to utilize the shop just end the wave would be accurate as Killing Floor
@Tastala
What happens when you try to use it with Bungee?
@Sparkyau
Make sure you're using the right versions. 1.6.4 Spigot won't work with 1.7.2 ZArena, and vice versa.
@Bimmr
There's no scoreboard at the moment. There's no official API, though you access almost all info about the plugin through public methods.
Is there an API and/or Scoreboard that shows info for this plugin?
plugin not working for me? i use spigot, may that be a problem?
@kabbx I find this plugin really fantastic, congratulations great job! However you could implement the option that throws out all the players after the game? Maybe you could make it compatible with bungee, it would be very useful!
This plugin is the life of my server <3 When the players share the wealth I will share the wealth (: Im glad you stay active, others have disappeared when we needed them the most D:
thx kabbx,
I love this plugin and have some great remakes of the zombie maps on it.
@server075
Sorry for taking so long to respond, been busy. The issue should be fixed in the next version, which is now waiting for approval.
@Bossguy123
This should also be fixed.
