Inactive [MECH] BurningMobs v0.6 - Spiders and Creepers can now burn in sunlight. [1060]

BurningMobs - Spiders and Creepers can now burn in sunlight.
Version: v0.6

Just put in plugins directory and BAM. Built and tested with Craftbukkit 1060. May work with some earlier versions.

Features:

• Allows admins to choose if they want spiders, creepers, skeletons and zombies to burn when the sun comes up.
• Monitors in a separate thread so there is virtually no impact on performance.
• In game commands /bm or /burnmob <spider|creeper|skeleton|zombie|info|frequency>
• Auto creates config file on first load with default set to true.

Changelog:

Version 0.6

• Cleaned up lots more of the code.
• Added more in game commands for changing settings.
• Added ability to change the frequency at which the thread updates the moblist. This is in milliseconds. Default is 1000(1 second).
• Fixed the bug that may have caused server lag/crashes/problems when reloaded.
• Removed permissions support (I don't think they were really needed)

Version 0.3

• Cleaned up some of the code.
• Added in game commands for changing settings.
• Added config file creation on initial launch.
• Added permissions support.
• Fixed multiworld crash bug.

Version 0.2

• Fixed spider not burning bug.
• Fixed thread crashing issue due to concurrency error (I think).
• Made it more thread-safe. No longer pulls data at will from the main thread.

Version 0.1

• Initial Release

It's...ALIVE

 

Thank you very much, sir!

 

Anyone currently using it, please let me know of any errors.

 

Great plugin! Thank you very much

 

Just updated today and am getting the following errors.

Code:

Thanks for bringing this back!!

 

@Benk016 Was that a clean install? Or did it have config files left over from the old version?

 

Didn't think to delete the old config file. That did the trick! The only issue i've seen with this is that mobs don't like to burn when they walk on snow. If a creeper is chasing me and is on grass or rock, he'll burn, but if he steps onto snow, no burning happens. Don't know if this is your plugin or just how the game works though. Other than that its working wonderfully now. Thank you again!

 

The snow thing is me being lazy...They also wont burn if in long grass or sugar cane. The because it's a non solid block, but is still a block, my code thinks they are underground.

I'm getting this on occasion. After a few 'cycles' of night and day it seems that the plugin stops working and spits out this error.

Worth noting, a few players on my server has the ability to change the time of day (Magic!!) so it flips around a lot. I'm not sure if it's related or not.

Edit: Oops, didn't paste the CODE block right

 

@FaeDine I'm aware that error exists, but I'm haven't been able to trace the cause. D=

 

permissions for commnds plz

this worked for 3 seconds and now it does not. no erros in logs

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

 

Ummm....

Could you add support for Ghasts?

I have a hardcore survival server so we have Ghasts in overworld.

Error occurs after several day / night cycles and then stops running.

 

I'll see if I can update this...But I'm not sure where I put the source.

 

Testing out the Burnmob plugin on my server, just installed it, never had it before, started it with my server, but it keeps respawning my properties file, so when I change it to Spider = false, it doesn't remember my change.
http://minecraft.brokedcomputer.com < for a live map.

 

This look intressting.

 

dont work

 

Hey, May u make it compatbile with 1337?

Thank you very much!

 

Update please!

 

I made a new version of this since it hasn't been updated in a while, it also handles endermen, and should fix the ConcurrentModificationException, as well as being lighter on the server.

You WILL need a new config file!!! Delete the one you have, let it build a new one, and configure it from there.

Note: I do not have a huge amount of time for support, but if there are any critical bugs then I will fix them, and if there is a suggestion then I may implement it (if time allows). This was my first Java project, so it is completely possible that there are bugs.

File in attachment.

 

Thank you very much, would u give me the source code? =)

 

@douglas_srs That depends on whether McSpazzy allows (unless he is inactive for too long, in which case I probably will). I had to decompile the old plugin to make this one, which was originally just a private, stripped-down and fixed version.

@Everyone Minor fix, mobs no longer try to burn in the rain (even though it extinguishes them anyway)

So does no-one have any issues with these updates? If not, I'm happy, if so, tell me

 

Ok, =(, just fix zombies/skeletons not burning! Thanks

 

I tried the one on the first post and it seems that the spiders don't burn at all, they disappear after, I dunno, five minutes in sunlight? Hopefully the Burningmobs-rel.zip will work.

 

The main problems I found with the original one by McSpazzy were:
--It only dealt with the main world (so mobs wouldn't burn in other worlds created by i.e. Multiverse)
--ConcurrentModificationExceptions occurred when the mob list changed while iterating over it, but there was no exception handling, so it just crashed the plugin
--Inefficient methods of checking whether a mob should burn, which would also break if the height limit was changed

I'm pretty sure I've sorted all of these issues out by:
--Iterating through each world, not just the main one
--try{...}catch(CME){} surrounding the main thread
--Using built-in bukkit methods.

From my (limited) testing, my update worked, but I can't guarantee it. That's why I would need to know if there are any bugs.

@douglas_srs Is this in my update? If so, obviously make sure that the BurnZombie setting is true, and if this doesn't help, more info will probably be needed. If it's in the original, then ignore my ramblings

 

Your update

I downloaded the last one and now the Zombies/Skeletons burn and the other mobs won't... help =p

 

Which plugins are you using, and which bukkit version? It might be a plugin conflict.

EDIT: I've replicated the problem, now I'm taking a look at what might be causing it.

EDIT 2: Found the problem, it only triggers when it IS raining, not when it ISN'T. Stupid mistake, fixed it now (I think). New file in attachment.

Cheers for the bug report!

 

Hi Can you do me a favor? Like make a plugin to prevents mobs to burn at sunlight, also configurable.

 

Thanks for these updates. Total life saver

 

For anyone who hasn't noticed, I've made a new BukkitDev page, with this plugin. Link

theflame1901 If you set burnZombie and burnSkeleton to false, it should do that. You may (or may not) need to change the updateFrequency variable, to a smaller value.
If this doesn't work, comment on the plugin's dev page, and I'll look into it.
