Did 2.0.1 TEST Solve your first problem?

What parameters did you use for /es?

 

No sorry, i missed this in the log before i tried the

/es count all command

Sounds like a config error, im using the one you provide on your page, should i maybe try leaving it create its own?

 

I would suggest letting it re-generate the config.
You're trying to use a non-number for a world maximum, that no longer works.

I will investigate /es count all; do all the other /es count commands work? does /es reload work?

 

Ok it seems to be an issue on my end, i just tried it on my test server and it seems to work, however i have set the following in the config

LimitMonsters: true
LimitSquid: true
LimitAnimals: true
MonsterMaximums:
world: 300
world_nether: 100
world_the_end: 0
ChunkCalculatedMonsterMaximums:
world: 23
world_nether: 23
SquidMaximums:
world: 32
ChunkCalculatedSquidMaximums:
world: 6
AnimalMaximums:
world: 100
ChunkCalculatedAnimalMaximums:
world: 23
ScanInterval: 100
UseMonsterDistanceRemoval: true
RemoveAtDistance: 128
CancelSpawnAtDistance: 92

Yet on starting the server the following is in the logs

2011-12-28 23:22:17 [INFO] ES: Loading Config File...

2011-12-28 23:22:17 [INFO] EntitySuppressor version 2.0.1 TEST (1L5) is enabled! {61 ms}

Where is it getting these limits from?

 

I should really add the word "currently" after "is".
Those are being calculated by the chunk-calculated maximum as per this equation:

(#Chunks * (world: 23)) /256)

So, the more chunks you load, the more monsters can spawn, its dynamic, and works nicely. For a single player you don't really need more than 50-60 monsters.

 

I've had to go back to 1.4

On the main server is simply doesnt work, so im guessing its conflicting with another plugin.

 

1.4 Is quite terribly outdated now, it is like, 2 months old.

Can you please explain to me what exactly does not work?

 

As before really.

I tested the plugin on a test server and it worked fine, so its not the plugin, but it must be a compatability issue somewhere.

When i add the 2.01 jar you provided, even when i remove the configs and let it re-generate its own on startup i get the following error

Also your website doesnt seem to have any versions inbetween 1.4 and 2.0 so i couldnt use any other version

http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/entitysuppressor/files/

 

There are no versions between 1.4 and 2.0....

So.. what plugins are you using?

 

I just wanted to thank you for your help also. I really like the plugin, and the other similar plugins try doing too much for what i need. I just want a simple mob limiter , which is why im here

I think its only fair i try trouble shoot this my end, ill add each plugin one by one to my test server to try rule some out.
Thanks.

 

" BukkitCompat r16B "

Are you trying to use "/es" form McMyAdmin?

 

i use mcmyadmin, but im not trying to use it from the mcma console.

Im using it ingame.

 

i got a 16 players server, mostly full..

the only problem i have is my 1mb upload
so looking for a way to limit connection usage...

ill let u know what it does

[edit]
Same error as dude above..
also tried test version, same error

 

Try Build 1L7:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/29314740/Plugins/Test/EntitySuppressor.jar


If it fails, try running on Java 6, I suspect something is a little bit funny with how it's parsing something with Java 7.

 

Ya need a hand getting this error for some reason...

http://pastebin.com/N4aPK0fV

 

Use the test version above, and if it works, tell me!!!

 

@Fishrock123
Using EntitySuppressor 2.0 on Bukkit RB 1597 (1.0.1-R1)
But I've a problem: As soon as I alter the default config in any way, monsters completele despawn.
I run this on a 80 slot public server and have currently about 400 animals, 100 squids and 0 monsters in my world.
Reloading it does nothing.

Here's my config:

Code:

LimitMonsters: true
LimitSquid: true
LimitAnimals: false
MonsterMaximums:
  ccraft4: 512
  ccraft4_nether: 128
  ccraft4_the_end: 256
ChunkCalculatedMonsterMaximums:
  ccraft4: 14
  ccraft4_nether: 23
SquidMaximums:
  ccraft4: 32
ChunkCalculatedSquidMaximums:
  ccraft4: 6
AnimalMaximums:
  ccraft4: 128
ChunkCalculatedAnimalMaximums:
  ccraft4: 23
ScanInterval: 100
UseMonsterDistanceRemoval: true
RemoveAtDistance: 128
CancelSpawnAtDistance: 92

I tested this extensively. When I delete the altered config and use the automaticly generated one, monsters appear as normal.
But if I change only one number or character in the config and save it, monsters disappear.

Because our world is called "ccraft4" and not "world" I can not use the default config.
I'm using Notepad++ for editing this, like I do for all my plugins to edit the configs.

 

Yes same error very strange =/

 

It's not reading the config correctly. Why, I do not know, It works fine on my computer.. ;-;

 

Ya that stinks was really looking forward to a way to keep a limit on monsters it seems I have just thousands of them on my current server can't go anywhere without being mobbed by 5-10 monsters at a time it's pretty annoying same with caves or mining area's.​

 

Try Build 1L8:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/29314740/Plugins/Test/EntitySuppressor.jar

It now does:

Integer.parseInt(entry.getValue().toString().trim())

Instead of just casting the value to an Integer, so hopefully that takes care of it.

 

mmmm, same problem for me. Monsters despawn.
Perharps someone other can test this?

 

Hope this atleast fixes the logger problem.

If you are having config problems, use a non-formatting text editor, such as standard notepad or textedit.

 

Works.

nvm, error:

Is your world called "world"?

 

Having some issues with 2.0.1 (as well with 2.0.0)

- Mobs don't spawn in nether (0 mobs)
- any /es commands return internal server error

Below is my config:

Code:

LimitMonsters: true
LimitSquid: true
LimitAnimals: true
MonsterMaximums:
  World1: 1536
  SKY: 256
  World1_nether: 1024

Same issue with this build. (you asked me to try with this)

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

Does this plugin conflict with Monster Apocalypse?

 

My world isn't called world, is that the issue?

 

The two should be able to work together, but it may take some work to properly configure.

Umm... yes?! Replace world(_nether,_the_end) with your world's name.

 

Interesting thing is that i have more animals (150) than monsters (80) at night. How is it possible?

Also
LimitAnimals: true
world: 64

I still have a lot of animals. 306 animals - 127.

Number won't decrease. While mob number is limited.

Also when I do

/es count

ES: Maximum monsters in world is 146 (MonsterMaximums: world: 512)
ES: Maximum squid in world is: 16 (SquidMaximums: world: 16)
ES: Maximum animals in world is: 64 (AnimalMaximums: world: 64)
ES Count (167): 45 monsters, 117 animals, 0 squid and 5 players.

() - Shows setting in config.

-----------
MonsterMaximums: world: 512 - Whenever i change number to 256 it still says ES: Maximum monsters in world is 146. When i change number from config to 128 then it's fine:
Maximum monsters in world is 128. How do I make number bigger then?

----------
Everytime I do /es count
I get different numbers for MonsterMaximums: world
Sometimes 220, 329, 200 - Maximum Squids / Maximum Animals stays constant.
---------
After server restart:
09.01 16:03:23 [Server] INFO ES: Maximum animals in world is: 48
09.01 16:03:23 [Server] INFO ES: Maximum squid in world is: 14
09.01 16:03:23 [Server] INFO ES: Maximum monsters in world is: 73
Plugin Y U NO read correct numbers?
