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.

ok, ill try reinstalling the plugin and ill see if that works, and maybe LWC was interfering as it automatically locks signs.

I copied and pasted some of the items from there, and they all work fine. Even one word named items work. However, enchantments don't seem to work, which will have to be fixed.
Make sure your config file is formatted right. A misplaced space or new line can screw up everything. If you're not already, use Notepad

to edit it.IS it possible to disable spawns with sign? I need it if player opens door to next room, then previous spawns are disabled. (Doors opens with ZPay sign) I know hot to activate next spawns, but how to deactivate preveous? (when i press on sign i activate spawn 5 and 6, but deactivate 1,2,3,4) Is it possible? Thanks!
@kabbx
Im sure i got it right
here is a paste of my entire config file

@kabbx
Well can i bump that up the list then?
@robotnikthingy
Odd, they're working fine on my server. Did you put the item configurations in the right place? They should be under SignCustomItems.
SignCustomItems:
Healing Potion:
type: 373
amount: 1
damage value: 8229
id: 0
@kabbx

I just checked, and I believe custom items in the config don't work unless they are two words in length. I'll fix that in the next version.
I'll also add a way for custom items to give more than one item at a time, as they currently can't do that.
I keep getting a sign creation failed error message, but it doesnt tell me why it failed. i put the item in the config. Is the price of 2500 too high or something? was i supposed to put something in the id field in the config?
the sign has this on it
ZBuy
Arrows
100
also can signs give more than one item at a time, like for example a full set of armor?
@Dustinduse I believe that should be fixed in v0.3 I tend to forget to include small bug fixes in the changelog.
Also, your idea for regions is already in the list of Potential Upcoming Features.
Error.. it says v0.2 but i know that cant be. since my server is 1.4.6... But its not 0.3 because i see its just spout stuff. (bloat)

I just had a Brilliant idea! Why don't you support world guard regions. That way we can setup regions that the plugin uses. like for example. If someone some how leaves the region while part of the arena. it automatically kicks them from the arena. And you could also have many many other upsides with supporting this. Better control being the main one.
ZArena v0.3 is now out! Download it before it gets approved here.
@BlueXenoFalcon
Blue. mobs do drop xp. your welcome to see our version of kino.
Would it be Possible to make it so the Mobs drop XP using Enchantment Table as a Pack a punch?
im having alot of issues about players leaving the server and rejoining while in a match. It seems they are getting the inventories back. but seem to remain in the arena. (useing worldedit to block all commands besides /za and /zarena) you could see how that would be a issue.
If somebody have no premission, and hi will join how can do he it?? Please help!
i think i found 1 of my problem. for some reason my file didn't safe and i end up resetting up. lol. well, now i got ex plugin that work with this. so item in not a problem no more. i try later and see if the sign work now :))
@rwmtiger
Whenever the bukkit dev team gets around to approving the plugin. They have lots of plugins to approve, generally, so it can take up to two days.
@kabbx
so when will this show up on McMyAdmin? i cant download it from here.
