Posted Mar 28, 2013Hi, i'm having trouble setting up a local channel for the messages Your instructions are vague, i tried every possible combination i thought of in the yml config and still no success. Best thing would be to put an example there. There's the option (announce, server) On top of that says we can put a herochat channel like Herochat=<channel>..i tried adding that and the channel name, Arena still no success..please use an example like Ex: (announce, channel=Arena), or (announce, Arena)...i have to leave the word server there or not??
EDIT: came back to say i already put Herochat=Arena and worked...i used it for an arena world chat that is separated from the global chat

Posted Mar 27, 2013This plugin just keeps getting better and better! Thanks alkarinv, for continuously updating and addressing issues so quickly, not to mention making the plugin so extensible in the first place.
I look forward to more games being created with BattleArena as the foundation. After looking at the API example, I might even be tempted to try one myself, even though I'm a complete novice when it comes to Java programming.
Keep up the great work!

Have to say thats really weird.. its somehow like a special chacter got put in... if you haven't changed anything, try just deleting the config.yml and doing a restart. Hopefully that fixes it.
@ZwPBerserk
You can't set the Heroes secondary class right now. There is an option to let them join as the class they already are though. There are also some options to set mana, health, and limit joining by level.

It looks like you have a bad config value. instead of the name onVictory you have some weird thing like onV[]ictory. Not sure how that happened but if you change it back to onVictory it should work. Otherwise pastebing the config.yml and I'll help you fix.

Posted Mar 27, 2013I have a problem.
Whenever me and any of my friends join an arena fight, we both get two enchants: Speed and resistance for 2 minutes. And that does not work, because the fight last in 2 minutes ;_;
I have been searching through ALL my mods, several times and I can't find anything about the enchants, anywhere. (Probably something stupid i've missed).
Tried to google without result, but nope. Nothing that even mentions the problem I have.
So, help? : )
Cheers.
Edit, Ofc, what I want is to remove both of the Enchants on spawn.

That is fixed in BattleArena v3.8.2+, I released it over a day ago to bukkit. So hopefully it clears soon!

Posted Mar 27, 2013I still get the same bug as a previous commenter remarked on. It is the thing where the color code doesn't change the message so you get color codes in the message.

Posted Mar 26, 2013That makes sense. Allowing wildcards for join and leave nodes is definitely a good idea. Likewise for backwords compatibility. I'll update the docs when this change is finalized, unless somebody beats me to it.

Yeah, well I was obviously too quick about it but I'm trying to switch over to 'arena.join.ctf'. I'll have both work for backward compatibility.
That way people can do "arena.join.*" if their permission system allows it.

Posted Mar 26, 2013I think it would be better to match the 'join' permissions, so it'd be 'arena.ctf.leave' instead of 'arena.leave.ctf'. This follows the 'arena.ctf.join' nomenclature.

Thanks, I'll check it out. They should be completely separate.
You're right, I really should allow more granularity. I'll make it both "arena.leave" or "arena.leave.ctf", "arena.leave.skirmish", etc.

Posted Mar 26, 2013Concerning the 'arena.leave' permission node:
I was having an issue where without this permission node set, that even when a match ended players couldn't join a new game. It behaved as if they were still in the previous match. So that is likely still an issue with those that do want to prevent players from leaving matches by not setting this permission.
You also might want to consider having a permission node per match type, to facilitate more granular control over which matches allow leaving before finishing, and to more closely mirror the 'join' permissions.
So you would have something like this in your permissions file:
- arena.arena.join
- arena.arena.leave
- arena.ctf.join
- arena.ctf.leave
- arena.paintball.join
- arena.paintball.leave
