    AdvancedMobs - Mob variants for spawning in normal, nether, and skylands worlds
    Version: 0.3.6
    Tested with: CB 1060

    Latest JAR:
    MediaFire - <Edit by Moderator: Redacted mediafire url>
    MegaUpload - Version 0.3.7 JAR

    Previous Versions:
    0.3 - MegaUpload - Version 0.3 JAR
    0.2 - MegaUpload - Version 0.2 JAR
    0.1 - MegaUpload - Version 0.1 JAR

    As my first plugin, I decided to do some of the things I couldn't find with other plugins. I've run AngryWolves (with hellhounds), and Tossers on my server before. These plugins added new variations on old enemies. This got me started thinking about what I could do. So, I learned java (I have been doing C++ for years), read and listened to some plugin tutorials, and learned from looking at some other source code that the plugin developers have been kind enough to upload. This is the culmination of that work.

    AdvancedMobs is a plugin meant to add advanced mob types to your worlds. The nether too bland for you, the skylands nice to look at, but utterly devoid of anything to do? Maybe you just want giants to work in your world. This plugin has all of that, and more is going to be added too. The nether will get fire immune versions of zombies, skeletons, spiders and slimes, the skylands will get ghasts, creepers with new attacks, and animals, and your normal world will finally get to see zombie pigmen, and they are none too happy about being yanked out of their normal world. All of this and giants too, and they have a few surprises of their own.

    <font color="rgb(255, 0, 0)">Important: If you find any bugs or adherent behaviors while using this plugin, please give a list of the mob changing plugins you have besides this one, the startup messages for AdvancedMobs (it will show [AdvancedMobs] in front of it) as well as any errors you get in the console. Your config file would also be helpful if you changed any values. </font><font color="rgb(255, 0, 0)">Also be sure to include your CB version. I will not be responsible for versions I don't support.</font>

    <font color="rgb(255, 0, 0)"><font color="rgb(255, 153, 0)">Warnings: Skylands mobs use velocity in their attacks. They will cause you to sometimes move too fast and get kicked. This is rare under most circumstances, but if you have a fly mod enabled on your server it can do this. There are several ways to solve this, including enabling fly, adding the plugin "NoMovedTooQuicklyKick", and also possibly handling the velocity with anti-hack plugins. If you do not want this, you can turn the force down on their attacks, or turn them off altogether.</font></font>


    Features:
    * Zombie Pigmen can spawn in normal worlds (and can be spawned hostile)
    * Zombies, Skeletons, Spiders, and Slimes can spawn in the nether, and are immune to fire

    - * Nether Slimes can set YOU on fire too
    - Ghasts, Powered Creepers, Pigs, and Sheep will spawn in your skylands worlds
    * Aether Ghast fireballs explode into snowballs instead of explosions
    * Powered Creepers can explode with air power instead of damage, possibly knocking you off the skylands
    - Giants spawn in all worlds!
    * Normal Giants will toss TNT at enemies to give them a ranged attack (TNT won't destroy terrain)
    * Fire Giants spawn in the nether and spit fireballs instead of TNT
    * Storms cause normal giants to gain the power of lightning, calling it down on you
    * Custom loot tables for giants (since they normally don't drop anything)
    * Configurable health
    - Advanced Hostile Wolves for all worlds
    * Hellhounds are immune to fire and spawn in the nether and normal world
    * Winter Wolves spit blasts of cold at you, and spawn in the skylands and in snowy terrain in the normal world
    * A super secret special wolf type - fear the sitting wolves
    * Configurable loot tables for both
    * All special wolves are tamable!

    - * (Hit them with a raw porkchop to calm them for 10 seconds)
    - Configurable spawn rates for everything, and the ability to turn on and off most special properties for advanced mobs
    - Multiworld support - turn off mob types in certain worlds
    - Much much more to be added

    Multiworld Setup:

    In order to set up multiworld support, you will need to create files in your "AdvancedMobs" folder. These files will be named the name of the world you want to modify plus "_config.yml" ([world]_config.yml). So if your world "world_nether" needs to have some creatures changed, you need to make a file called "world_nether_config.yml" and put it in that folder.

    Once you have made this file, you do not need to turn any creatures to true. Any creature names not found in the config will default to true. So, if you wanted to turn off nether zombies for instance, you would put on a line inside the config file "Zombie: false". All creatures have their normal names, and zombiepigmen are called "PigZombie". You can only turn off a creature type that this plugin is spawning, it will not effect natural spawns or spawns from other plugins.

    Example contents of "world_config.yml"
    Code:
    PigZombie: false
    Wolf: true
    That would turn the ability for this mod to create pig zombies in the world "world" to off, but leave Hellhounds and Winter Wolves on. Conversely, since the default is true anyways, "Wolf: true" could have been left out and they would still be on.

    Change Log:

    Version 0.3.7
    * Fixed a ClassCastException error that was happening
    * Added an example world config file to the default config files

    Version 0.3.6
    * Toned down the secret wolves' attacks some
    * Fixed the log message for autosaving (it was saying AnimalCompanion because that's where I copied the auto save from)
    * Fixed a bug in the world loading section of loadWolves()

    Version 0.3.5
    * Fixed nether slimes getting giant fire effects
    * All tick rate timers were 3 times too fast, fixed
    * Added force variables in the config for ghast/winter wolf snowballs and creeper explosions
    * Fixed a bug with the "secret wolves" that was leaving behind junk in the world
    * Added hookups for the AnimalCompanion plugin

    Version 0.3
    * Made all wolf types tamable - hit them with a raw porkchop to calm them down long enough to tame one
    * Tamed special wolves are persistent between server restarts
    * Added a super secret wolf type, fear the sitting wolf
    * Gave hellhounds a small tick fire bite
    * Ghast fireballs in the skylands now explode with snowballs and deal a small amount of damage + knockback

    * Flying/floating mobs for the skylands (pigs and sheep that can fly!)
    * Ghasts for the normal world that do... something
    * Depth dependent normal world mobs (like elemental creepers or harder mobs of some kind)
    * Biome specific normal world mobs (like cactus creepers that explode in arrows)
    * Mob riders, like spider jockeys but with different mob variants

    There are plugins to adjust the spawner, and im wondering if AM is compatible with those so the first idea might not be needed, but #2 is a great idea! Could totally use that.

    The thing is that AdvancedMobs doesn't actually add new mobs. It justs simulates there being new mobs by adding effects to certain copies of vanilla mobs. Otherwise this would be looking alot more like Mo Creatures. Anywho, what that means is that just hooking WordEdit into AM and using //set mobspawner|WinterWolf wouldn't work.

    Note that this is all based off of my limited understanding of the plugin, so feel free to tell me I am completely wrong.

    Edit: Oh, and it's nice to know that someone likes my random idea, so thanks for the post.

    Right right, thats why i said IF its compatable. I cant say i even know how bukkit works, but if its like adding a name like WinterWolf to an existing mob array while using the same graphics and such, then it would be possible.

    I dont know why someone HASNT done a "redstone activates spawner" plugin yet.

    Sorry, missed the IF in there. Your comment has made me feel less sure that it isn't compatible, but there IS a redstone spawning plugin already.

    You set the loot table to an invalid number of arguments. It needs to be multiples of three, or you get errors like this. Out of bounds means it was looking for the chance and the list just ended. Check the loot table size. That is human error.
     
  9. ok wtf, i havent changed configs or anything in this plugin? i downloaded it and if i remember right it was like this all the time

    this plugin still works even if you dont have skyland right? do i have to turn something off if i dont use skylands?

    i keep on getting this: 10:11:45 [WARNING] [AdvancedMobs0.3.7] Caught target cast exception.

    the only other mob changing plugin i use is petcreeper. not sure what this means

    It's a debug message left in the last version by accident. You can just ignore it. And yes, you don't need skylands to use the plugin.

    The server should save to a log file. If you can open that and show me the error, I can help.

    @TheTennessee i just had an idea. is it possible for you to add thunder wolves? like how creepers have that blue electricity around them when struck?

    This seems like a great plugin, but I have a few questions.
    Would this work with mywolf? Could I have a permanent winter-wolf?
    What do the secret sitting wolves do?
    I assume winter wolves shoot snowballs?
    Would the plugin "Dreamland" work for the sky dimension?
    Thank you!

    @TheTennessee Is there away to set which world is a skyland? or does it read from another plugins file, like multiverse to see what world is what?

    I used to use multiverse to generate my skylands, but i hated all the snow and the lack of everything. So, I used a terrain mod to create my own, but it is not a real skylands yet I would like ghasts to spawn there. I set Ghasts: true in my config for that world, but no luck... I am assuming it is reading it as a normal world and not as a skylands.

    Can i work around this?

    Bingo... I haven't even gotten 1.8 up and running yet. I am keeping myself out of minecraft until bukkit gets a stable release and I can update everything all at once. You can test whatever beta build is out right now, but I won't be updating until a stable release is out. I figured it would be easier that way.

    Also, I don't know how you would set your world to skylands. I use Inception for mine, and in that you can set a world to skylands. Skylands worlds are always day, and have no real weather. Also, in a skylands world, the clouds are at the bottom of the world.

    You can use this to determine if your world is indeed a skylands world, but my mod won't recognize it as skylands unless these criteria are met.

    Lastly, no, can't make lightning wolves. I have been wanting to make lightning creepers though, so instead of a powered creeper exploding, it could call down more lightning.

    Before anyone posts, yes I know that the update is now out. I'll try to have an update for both of my plugins later today.

    I see that you are updating, but i wanted to let you know, it seems to be working just fine as is in 1.8, except there is still the issue of mob stop spawning all together.

    Are you getting snow wolves? I can't seem to find any at all in and out of snow biomes.

    WHY YOU NO UPDATE! :p jk jk, looking forward to it :D

    Oh is it possible to make some kind of ender mob that tps and has particles like endermen? A creeper like that would be terrifying

    Hello, trying to figure out how to implement the changes in world_config.yml, I changed all mobs to false, yet they still spawn, after server reboot, /reload in console. Any ideas?

    running 1.8.1 bukkit 1185, no console errors, just not following my world_config.yml

    thanks

    Post your world config, the name of the world, and the name of the config.
