Posted Jan 26, 2013Hey, I got a question/problem. My players attempted to exploit the plugin kind of. I'm not sure if I missed something in the config or what. I'm using the default armor/sword, so it includes the diamond sword and potions. My players drop their items before the match is done, then use /back to get the loot they left..do you know if there is a way for me to disable item drop? I set the arenas using worldguard regions to disable things like /tpa and etc, but I can't get rid of /back without disabling it for the entire server.. ._. If you have any idea or any plugins that would allow me to stop item dropping in a certain area, that'd be amazing. Haha.

Yeah, before I explain, you can always find more info
https://github.com/alkarinv/BattleArena/wiki
https://github.com/alkarinv/BattleArena/wiki/Scheduling-events
But essentially, you type (battleArenaScheduler [bas]) <commands to auto> Examples:
Then you say to start up the scheduler

Posted Jan 25, 2013hello alkarinv,
can you try to explain how Scheduled Events work? i have :
but my FFA event will not auto start when the server starts up, i have to type /ffa open and then i have to type /ffa start when everyone has joined otherwise the match will take 3 minutes to start... i would like the ffa even to be completely automated so that an admin does not have to be on to open the match. here is what my ffa even looks like:
i have SecondsTillMatch set to 15 but the even still takes 3 min to start... any help would be greatly appreciated.

@JustinTaniguchi
Those are good ideas for sure, and I am looking to make more things configurable through the command line, but there always seem to be things that are higher priority. I do like this though... any of you know coders?

Posted Jan 24, 2013I agree with KevinNitro, that would be an easier way to create classes + you can do custom enchants with "tim the enchanter" to make classes fun. :D

Posted Jan 24, 2013Is the ready block supposed to start the match once all players set themselves as ready? If so, it doesn't work for me.

I'll definitely add that in, hopefully soon.
@jman10923
Add the line matchTime: <x>, example for 5 minutes, 5*60=300.

Posted Jan 24, 2013One of my admins sorted out the problem with my custom arena, I also think an option to turn on death messages will be good.
Thanks for replying to my message!

Posted Jan 23, 2013Having the same issue as @thejaques I have to restart the server to fix it. /team listDetailed shows http://gyazo.com/a7680001d9fb293e92db5680e636e961 Hopefully we can get this solved. I have disabled the arenas and even reloaded the plugin and nothing has worked other than a server restart.

You can't use the same name for an arena, but you can make multiple of the same type with different names. like 1v1_1, 1v1_2, 1v1_3, ... 1v1_n
They don't need to type /arena join 1v1, they can just do /arena join, it will figure it out.
Let me know if that answers the question.. was a bit confused
@BBFChaser
1.4.7 works fine and I don't believe there are conflicts with any of those plugins.
@OnionCloud
Can you pastebin me your config.yml? I'll make sure it works again and put up a fix for you.
For the PvP messages I need to make an option... by default I stop announcing while they are inside the arena.
@DeathJusty
That is really strange, it's got to be some mod, but I don't see why any of those would really make a difference.

Posted Jan 23, 2013@alkarinv No, I don't have any problems with any other plugins or stuff like that. the spleef arena doesn't give me enchanted items so it wouldn't be that. and all the blocks in and near the arena don't upset my client. i have the arena loaded in. could it be optifine, reis minimap, chat bubbles mod or emoticons mod? i also have the client 1.4.6, that may be it. i will experiment with this.

Posted Jan 23, 2013When I updated to the latest version, my custom arena stopped working and the command for it doesnt exist. Oddly I can still use my start signs for it.
On another note, PVP messages do not come up while in arena battles, I'm wondering if it's disabled or broken, I also use BattleTracker.
