Yes it's back, the two plugins MobControl and CrowdControl have been merged now and I present to you on the behalf of the elBukkit team the new and improved CrowdControl! Features are still being added from both of the old plugins but i have decided that enough basic functionality is here to release it to the general public!

Now that makes alot more sence

 

Yea people were complaining about that long set command so i split it up
And an example spawn chance

Code:

/crowd set world ZOMBIE SpawnChance 0.9

 

I want to use this plugin in a bad way, but it's too dang hard to set up. It's much too easy to screw something up, and have no idea what you did wrong.

Would it be possible to simply configure all of this in a .txt file, so that I can actually go back and LOOK at what I've done? Doing it all through in-game commands is tedious, and isn't going to appeal to anybody.

You're doing some great work though. This plugin has a lot of potential.

 

after running this on my server the plugin starts to lag the server due to it not having enough memory, so i cant run the plugin
*but good work with it anyway

 

Hmm, would a separate program to configure it work? I would hate to make people that already set it up they way they like to have to re set up.

God dammit, i thought i got rid of all memory leaks... Who said memory management in java was easy....

I suppose that it would for me, but to appeal to the masses, the configuration is going to have to be similar to that of most other plugins.

That said, what if the plugin simply referenced that .txt file on startup, and wrote the values to the database? If there was nothing in the .txt file, nothing would change for those that already have it set up. I'm no programmer, mind you

Edit: I too had memory issues, like the guy above. I didn't set it up fully though.

 

I'll try to get to work on it

 

Hi Dude! Great to see everything is going so well. Ive just put this into live on our server and we have a problem.


First, monsters are despawning and not respawning again

Second, Assume there are two users, one is logged in and all of the zombies spawn around him - second guy logs in, and now because all the zombies are already accounted for near the second player, none spawn near the other guy.

Could you help with these at all?

 

Could you please give me steps to reproduce the memory leak, and/or any errors caused by the lack of memory?

Hmm i'm basically using the default minecraft way of spawning mobs. I think i have a solution of weird despawning and a way to keep them distributed evenly. I think this will be in a bug fix release so expect it to be in 0.26.04

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

 

Sounds great. I'll keep an eye out for a new release

 

Released version 0.26.04

 

i would use this if there were no commands and only configs

 

Working on a separate java app for configuration

 

Winsock: I'm sorry, but I'm still experiencing both issues. If you want me to provide you access to the server to check it out for yourself I'd be happy to. Or I can send you my database in case it's a config issue (i'm pretty sure it isn't though).

Edit:

To add, /reload gives us a new surge of monsters but these quickly despawn.

We also can't travel to a new area because the monsters don't spawn

 

That idea sounds exciting and would definitely make this plugin easily usable with minimal complications
I look forward to it since I currently can't use this great plugin without default spawn configs being shown for understanding haha XD

 

Hmm let me increase the random despawn rate and send you a test copy.

 

Hi WinSock,

the problem isn't that they're despawning it's that after they despawn they don't spawn again so neither area gets new monsters.

After about half an hour of idling a few people spread across a few areas I can type /butcher and it'll only kill 10-20 mobs. (maxPerWorld set to 600)

 

How much have you used butcher, if you use that command a lot it will not remove it from my list and that is a bug and i'm going to fix that right now

Version 0.26.05

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

 

oh really? yay!

 

EDIT: Nevermind

 

@WinSock The download link is down =(

 

Try again? I just used it fine.

 

http://cdn.danielsage.us/mirror/winsock/CrowdControl/CrowdControl.jar

Is still dead for me !_!

 

Well here it is uploaded for you.

 

Well, gee, thanks

 

Umm update your craftbukkit this line right here tells me your not on 935.

Code:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:org.bukkit.event.entity.CreatureSpawnEvent.getSpawnReason()

 

:O

I ran it on wrong server folder (older one). I feel kinda stupid now.

 

0.26.06

 

This may sound like a noob question but, I can't seem to remove the CrowdControl plugin from my plugin folder. I deleted the .jar and the folder, is there anything else I need to get rid of?
