I created this zone. restart dynamic PVP plugin and the dome shows up. but when i tried to damage the base using explosives, there is no damage

Merged post

Here are screen shots of the following:
1. list of zones from zone manager (the test zone is the last one)
2. proof that the dynamic zone created is captured in 'exclude' ruleset (zone is last one)
3. picture of what the zone looks like. the small base i tried to damage with explosives ie. explo ammo, c4, and rocket  but no damage :( 

appreciate any tips.

Are you sure the permanent zone was created successfully?
Damage handling is what the TruePVE plugin should do.
You should check to see if TruePVE's exclusion rules include this zone.
