Just had an idea for another extension: ArenaNFL. (aka, "American Football")

Basically it'd be exactly the same as CTF except with only one flag, and with the ability to throw the flag about the same distance as an Ender Pearl. A single punch would count as a tackle (or maybe double-punch, like two-hand-touch football).

The only new logic you'd need to add would be stopping the play when someone is tackled and lining people up on the line where the tackle happened, for the next "down" to start, and also stopping the play whenever someone attempts a pass and no one catches it... Oh and the max_downs would need to be enforced, so after 4 (or 5?) downs, the ball is handed over to the other team for their 4 (or 5?) downs.

You could even have field goal options -- if you throw the ball when holding Sneak it would punt :)

@Caddub: It's a good idea to claim your arena area as a faction WarZone with this command:

    /f autoclaimwarzone

(then walk around the entire warzone until it's entirely claimed as a warzone, and do /f autoclaimwarzone again to turn auto-claim off).

This not only bypasses the Faction friendly-fire restrictions but it also prevents other players from claiming the arena as their own faction land, and it allows members of Peaceful factions to PvP as well.

Another suggestion is to have all your arena games in a separate world (using Multiverse) and then disable factions in that world (in the Factions conf.json

@Alkarin: My pleasure! Every minute you don't spend helping people with basic troubleshooting is a minute you can spend getting HighestMobKills working as a victoryCondition ;)

Also I have a great idea for an extension.. I don't wanna distract you from the victoryCondition, but once that's released if you're looking for something to keep your fingers busy I was thinking Breach would make a great extension.

Basically the Breach (or Breach & Clear) game mode would be almost identical to ArenaParkour except without checkpoints, only a victory area, and it's divided into teams like CTF.

One team is on defense; they spawn in (or near) the Breach Zone and their job is to keep the attackers from reaching the Breach Zone (eg, the Breach Zone could be the penthouse of an apartment). The other team is the attackers; they spawn away from the Breach Zone (eg, on the bottom floor of the apartment) and their job is to fight their way through the map to breach the target.

Rounds are timed. If the defending team successfully prevents the attackers from entering the Breach Zone they win. If the attacking team breaches the Breach Zone at any time, they win.

If this interests you, please don't let it distract you from completing the new victoryConditions ;) I'm lookin' forward to getting that Duck Shoot finished and open to the public.

@numskull34: In your /BattleArena/ folder open up teamConfig.yml and you'll find a list of all team colors.

@65416516516514:

Have you altered the YML config files at all?

If so try moving the entire BattleArena folder into a different location, restarting the server, and issuing the /arena create command again.

If it works with the default config, you've immediately narrowed down your problem to an error in your config. If it still doesn't work, you know it's not a config issue and you can start looking into plugin conflicts or other possible causes.

Every now and again. Will probably be hard to replicate.

• # What commands should be disabled when the player is inside of a queue, but not in a match
• disabledQueueCommands: [tpahere, tpa, tphere]

I have this in my config, and whenever someone tries to /tpa after they play a battlearena, it says that they are in a que, even when they are not.
