Moblimiter Not working correctly with 1.7.2 and special mobs

[DOKDOR]

bump* still on irc.gamesurge.net #llama if anyone is around..

[stevommmm]

pasting your config will help troubleshoot the problem

using this build http://jenkins.thezomg.com/job/MobLimiter/13/

To help with finding errors it is important to turn debugging on. The folllowing items should go in your config file in the appropriate place, from there starting up the server and copying relevant message logs will help.

settings.debug.limit_spawn = true
settings.debug.limits = true
settings.debug.chunk_unload = true

Your config looks correct otherwise, and after a quick read through the MobLimiter code I can't see any obvious reasons it shouldn't function as intended.

The output from grep "Chunk unload removes" bukkit.log and grep "limit:" bukkit.log are what we are most interested in. If the output gets too long consider removing duplicate items from the list or using https://gist.github.com/

[DOKDOR]

this is from "limit:" https://gist.github.com/DOKDOR/a82fff284a6b05ccf84b
nothing came up for "chunk unload removes"

[stevommmm]

Ok, so we can see the config is being loaded correctly, however the on chunk unload operation is never getting called it seems.

What other plugins are you making use of on your server? Does this problem exist when running on a server with no other plugins on an up to date server version?

[DOKDOR]

I just tested with a clean install of craftbukkit git-Bukkit-1.7.2-R0.3-b3020jnks (MC: 1.7.2), still no "chunk unload removes".

other plugins are:
Command helper
Kitchen sink
LWC
Logblock
Modmode
Modreq
Nerdspawn
NoCheatPlus
SafeBuckets
Shopkeepers
TagAPI
VanishNoPacket
WorldBorder
WorldEdit
WorldGuard
bPermissions

@DOKDOR I've just spent the last 40 minutes or so adding extra debugging to MobLimiter to work out what is really going on and I expect I'll be able to give the Reddit Public techs a pull request in an hour or two once I've chased all the rabbits down their respective holes. I'll probably have an interesting story to tell too.

Fun fact, for now: animals spawn in the wild with 1xAIR in their equipment slots - which nobody told me. :)

[DOKDOR]

awesome. post a link to the .jar when its all done?

[totemo]

I can do. I will see if I can get it pulled ASAP as well, which means you'd be able to just get off the NerdNu Jenkins as soon as that goes through.

[totemo]

Okay, @DOKDOR, the pull request (#9) is in the queue. You can download a build from https://github.com/totemo/MobLimiter/releases/tag/1.0-fixed and I will keep that up until the NerdNu Jenkins updates.

I've tested with some named and or armoured hostiles and a dozen sheep named "Bob". Looks good to me.

[DOKDOR]

thank you @totemo <3 Ill test now and let you know how it goes

[DOKDOR]

@totemo It Works now :)
only thing im having trouble with understanding is the following line from the logs:
"[18:52:54 INFO]: [MobLimiter] Special mob exempted from removal: skeleton at (world,184,65,-45)"
I'm assuming they are the mobs with armor on?

also still having trouble with the sheep not despawning...
ping me on irc and ill give you the server details so you can come and check it out

EDIT: seems to be working now...i think it bugs out when baby sheep are around, and for a little bit of time after they grow up.

[totemo]

When you set up your tests for this, you have to be careful that the enclosure is all in a single chunk. The caps are enforced per-chunk.

After: 4 white, 2 blue:

There's no special exemption for babies and you'll notice that a couple of lambs survived the cull.
That's exactly what I expect to see. Server log looks like:

"Special" mobs don't get removed on chunk unload. The PvE players have named, armoured pet hostile mobs that they don't want to lose. Your skeleton falls into that category because of the armor.

[DOKDOR]

Ah ok, I re-tested with an enclosure over 1 chunk only and it works perfectly :)

And i thought as much with the special mobs. Didn't want to lose my horse named High ho' Silver :P
Again thank you so much @totemo and @stevommmm for helping with the plugin 👍

Everything fixed, so time to close this bad boy down
