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.

Can you make a timer for each round. Because sometimes there is one zombie glitched out or something and they can't go to the next round. So if you installed a default timer or something like when there is 5 zombies left a timer starts so if one does glitch out it won't matter and the rounds can continue.

i got the same problem as harlequin135 ^^
When the user die they spawn at the Serverspawn.
@harlequin135
A plugin may be interfering, or you may not have loaded a level before letting yourself die.
Also, the money in ZArena is separate from economy money.
I let the Zombies kill me to test the death spawn. So I die then I click re spawn but I go back to the server spawn point not the death spawn and I can't rejoin the game. Also, what happened to the money I gained? I have iConomy installed but the money I get from killing zombies doesn't add on to the money I already have.
@iceman542
This is likely caused by another plugin, not this one.
I have another question??? Un-oped players can't be hurt or hurt zombies. How do i fix this?? Do i need a command to add?
@MekaNeko
You have to give players the permission za.enterleave
thanks, a question, i want to enable the /za join and /za leave command to the users, but i can't, only the op's can use these, how can i make these?? thx..
@iceman542
Make sure each door on a map is named different. IE: OpenDoor1, OpenDoor2, OpenDoor3
@lordzgamer
Set World Exclusive in the config to false, or use world guard regions to prevent spawning only in arenas if you don't want the world to be dedicated to ZArena.
this is probably gonna sound like a noob question but how to you make other mobs such as creepers,skeletons and so on not spawn in the arena?On my server creepers are blowing players up and i dont know how to stop it....
It is usally the doors that don't. Ones with signs that say ZPay 120 -uo OpenDoor
HI!! i got it so people can vote! I found another problem though :( The arena does not reset after a game. I was able to go bck to the game the naxt round and pick up my items. If you could tell me how to fix this it would be so COOL!!! Thanx again :)
@iceman542
Read the bukkit dev page on it, I personally have never used it.
ok i got groupManager now how do i add the zarena.voter to the global group?? srry im new at this :(
@iceman542
Any permissions plugin will do, PermissionsEx, bPermissions, GroupManager, etc
THANX YOU!!!! but were do i do the zarena.voter to allow my players to vote ???? do i need PermissionsEx?? thanx u so much!!
@iceman542
You have to give players the permission 'zarena.voter' to allow them to vote.
You can prevent people from using non-zarena commands while in game if you set 'Disable Non ZArena Commands In Game' in the config to true.
I made an arena but when players try to vote for a arena it says "You do not have permission to do this". How can i fix this???? Please help. also how do i make it so players can't do /spawn while in game. Thanx you :)
@PorlyBe
The latest version works with 1.4.7, as long as you don't use the latest craftbukkit build, which breaks everything with it's new packaging style.
Any eta when this will be updated to 1.4.7?
