Posted Jan 23, 2013Yes we gave it a different name. We restarted the server and all is well now. We made a 1v1 arena and it had a long wait, so I created another arena and it started allowing players to fight there, does the plugin automatically allow players to fight in a different arena if there are no waits for that game? We had a line of 13 matches, and while creating the new arena it started spawning players at my new one. This is supposed to happen, correct? I really wanted to just create multiple arenas named 1v1, but I guess if I create random arenas and they /arena join 1v1, they will spawn in an unoccupied arena to fight? I hope my wording of the questions makes sense haha.

Inventory should be restored by default, so if you are having inventory issues please let me know and pm me a plugin list so I can try to make fixes for any conflicts.
But. There are commands to restore inventory

Posted Jan 22, 2013Hey there,
We recently encountered an issue when using the battlearena plugin. Our paintball plugin works wonderful! But when we create our second arena with the battle plugin, it deletes the first one. Yet it stays on the /arena list. I will be redoing our arenas to make sure there is no confliction. I hope it works after I redo it, our players love the plugin in so much haha.

That looks correct to me, I'm assuming they can use the other permissions just fine? Have you tried reloading bPerms? I use the most basic built in bukkit method of checking permissions so it's got to be that they don't have the permissions for some reason. Maybe they aren't getting assigned the default group?
@DeathJusty
Do you also have problems with /spawn and other teleports? Or maybe just rendering some of the blocks that are near the arena? Some of those issues can be caused by client mods. Literally there is nothing BattleArena does that talks to the client. So the most it could be doing is teleporting you to a new area and giving you items and enchants through Bukkit.

Thanks, Alkarinv! For some reason this config worked before I upgraded. I'll do as you suggest and let you know if I still have issues.

Posted Jan 21, 2013I am IN LOVE with this plugin, thank you ever so much for creating it! There are a few things I would like added though:
Firstly, arena specific settings: I want to be able to set a specific class for each arena. For example: I want the Archer Class to be default on Arena 1, Medic on Arena 2 etc. I want the same for lives too. So in Arena 1, you would have 3 lives, Arena 2 5 lives etc. This would be very helpful!
And that's it...so far...lol.
Thanks!! :D

Not quite yet, but actually it's already inside of 3.7.9.4+, it's a hidden option though b/c i haven't made sure it's bug free. "keepInventory" will be the option that you will specify inside of onDeath.options.
@rbonafied
1) You didnt specify a command for your custom type... so what would players type to join?? That is the error. "Couldnt configure arenaType buildcontest. For a custom competition you must specify a command:"
Just add a line command: bc, or whatever you want
2) You somehow erased the root node freeForAll, which is why that is freaking out. I would suggest just copying it from the default config again.
https://github.com/alkarinv/BattleArena/blob/master/default_files/config.yml#L259
That should fix your errors, let me know!

Certainly:
It's longish. I also added a 'made up' battle type called 'buildcontest'. There were a couple of other errors to the effect of '[SEVERE] Tournament type not found'

Posted Jan 21, 2013Hey, is it possible to define an arena where the players fight with their own Items? without loosing them?
I now it is possible to define this in the config. It works great until a player move a Item in his Inventory. After the fight the Item is still there but after rightklick it disappears.

I'll try to reproduce that locally and get a fix out, will be doing fixes tomorrow.
@rbonafied
Can you paste your config.yml ? From that it looks like it can't find it... hopefully my auto updater didnt mess up.. though if it did there is a backups folder inside of BattleArena with auto updated configs.
@Malachi21
You will need my other plugin BattleTracker for tracking.
http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/battletracker/
That will give players access to stats/ratings/kd ratio, top rankings, and leaderboards (soon).

Posted Jan 20, 2013I'm using battlearena allot for my server but I have some problems/bugs with it. I use the normal arena with class signs when they join. Like 1 in 20 people get the problem that they can't select a sign. And when they have this bug the game will end in a draw. This is because when they die they stay ingame but get teleported out. The game ends in a draw and there are no more problems the next game just starts and mostly doesn't bug out. I don't got any errors in my console. Any idea why this happens?
Thx
