Catacombs - Random Dungeon Generator:

Version: v3.2 Builds configurable dungeons under your feet for players to explore and loot. I wrote my own level builder but I guess it's a homage to those text based classics like Nethack and of course Angband.

New German and Portuguese video tutorials (see below).

IMPORTANT NOTICE

I'm getting a lot of messages from people who aren't matching the game version of Catacombs with the game version of bukkit they have loaded. Please make sure the Catacombs version you download matches the bukkit version you are using.

Unfortunately it looks like catacombs is going to break on every bukkit update from now on. :( The reason for this is that I had to add a low level call to craftbukkit internals to work around a lighting bug (the dungeon doesn't go dark when its reset when it's in a remote chunk). The release version number is in the function call and this needs to change every release. I reported the bug many moons ago but doesn't have a solution yet (see here and here)

With this in mind I'll do my best to make the updates more quickly when a new bukkit recommend release is available, just send me a polite PM when you see the new recommened release.

Catacombs now uses Vault to support permissions and economy plugins

I've setup a forum for messages

I've updated the Configuration page
