Free for All's are by default a "JoinPhase", so you need to open up the join phase.
If you don't want that you should change the joinType: to a Queue

It rotates through the arenas you have made. So you need to have multiple ffa arenas built.

So now that you can just make your own custom types I took out espleef and epb.
You can essentially remake them just by adding the config file back in. Here is how

Posted Mar 29, 2013I have a problem. When i run a commando for an event for example /espleef auto, /ctf auto or /epb auto this event doesn't start and i receve this message: "That command does not exist! /<command> for help" otherwise commands of battlearena (/ffa auto or /dm auto) events works fine

Posted Mar 29, 2013@TommehRRR I do not believe per-class spawns are currently an option but for game joining signs just make something like this: [name of gametype of arena] [feature you want executed for those arenas] So an example with spleef: [spleef] join Do not put the brackets on the second line!

Posted Mar 29, 2013Hey, I'm a little unsure about how to create a game joining sign, is this possible?
Also, How could i set a spawn point for each individual class? Say, snipers on top, assault on the bottom?

Posted Mar 28, 2013I think you may have forgotten to update the version number for 3.8.2.2. I was going to ask if it's possible to switch off the auto-downloading, but decided to check the config file first for such a feature, and lo, there it is. :-)

Thats totally possible. just set teamSize: 1, inside of the match config you want.

Hey, so tonight I'm going to check out the /<type> reload command. Seems like people are having serious issues with it. Until then just use normal /reloads or restarts.
Sorry about that :(
@MCForger
Yep :), its going to be awesome once fully complete (aka me adding some extra functionality into BattleArena)
