Posted Jan 29, 2013That was the entire error, although I did type /ctf leave right before the crash occurred. All the Arena plugins are up to date so I'm not sure why it's doing this.

looks like a permissions issue. Double check all your permission configs, Ive had similar errors before with other plugins but they turned out to be typos or errors in my permissions files.

Little bit confused about the sign thing, so primary weapon signs? Like they can switch their primary weapon by clicking... Whats the difference between this and having a class with just 1 item in it?
@valtso97
That should work, and does for a lot of perm plugins. But if it isn't you will have to list them all out I guess. I'll see if bukkit has some way to avoid that directly.
@nodigit
Hey nodigit, I've never seen that before. Can you post the entire error, that looks like a snippet.
What's strange is that this is craftbukkit crashing because of removing a Permission... except I don't ever remove permissions... very odd.
Seriously though, get back to me quick please so I can get all the info.

yes, lets say to join the lobby you type /ba join then it'll spawn you onside the lobby and you'll wait untill the last game ended, if theres one , then it'll assign you automaticlly to a team lets say for tdm. and to leave you can do the same example /ba leave.and if its not to much to ask =p maybe add a way to have signs and when you right click that sign you get 1 sword, lets call this signs a primary weapon, but you'll be allowed to choose only 1 primary, that way we can have some lets say diamond swords with diferent enchants that a player can buy with money as they rank up.

Oh, so what you can do is make them all have a join phase where you can control when they are open (I call these events). That way you could make it so only 1 was active at one time.
https://github.com/alkarinv/BattleArena/wiki/Scheduling-events
To make them have a join phase put the line " queue: false" which will make them have a join phase.

Definitely, you can make that exact thing happen.
For signs.

@protipe4
Do you have herochat channels called arena? BattleArena doesn't make the channels.. just uses pre existing ones.

Posted Jan 27, 2013Is it possible to make a lobby where the players can choose their classes using the signs? What I am trying to do is make a 4 man free for all with Arena type=Arena, I wanna make it so each of the 4 players have their own Lobby where they can choose a class and then hit the iron block to start. I can't seem to figure it out as it is not stated in the wiki (Unless I'm blind and missed it..lol) Can you tell me how? Thanks.

Chat bubbles... sounds like an amazing mod... now if Mojang would just release their api so we can use it for server plugins.
@delsolsi213
Explain what you want a bit more.. because you can make arenas act like ctf.

Posted Jan 27, 2013Could you add support for : http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/pvptimer/
Maybe PvPTimer does not apply in arena or you cannot join while you have timer on?

For that you just need to add the relevant announcement options inside of SpleefConfig.yml, You'll also need HeroChat.. If you don't have Herochat then I'll make it work with Vault. I just hadn't gotten around to it yet.
https://github.com/alkarinv/BattleArena/wiki/Configsetup#wiki-Changing_who_gets_match_announcements
Example for Spleef
Spleef: announcements: onPreStart: [ announce, herochat=Spleef ] onStart: [ dontannounce ] onVictory: [ announce, herochat=Spleef ] onEnterQueue: [ dontannounce, herochat=Spleef ]-

Use /region flag regionname item-drop deny
Its included with World Guard.
Also if the plugin author happens to read this every time I reload the plugin or restart server all my arenas are placed in the broken arenas section of the config... Why?
