Admin permission isn't working for me either. :(
I removed all plugin files and tried to recreate from scratch. I have arena.admin but it gives me permission errors whenever I try to create a new arena or spleef or whatever.

In ''nteams'' set it to 8 and in ''teamsize'' set it to 1
This is done in both config.yml and BattleArena\competitions\ArenaConfig
This will unforunatelly affect al Arena Gametypes
If you created a new GameType make sure to follow the wiki instructions, in signs use
@sbelljobseek
Other plugins compatibility is NOT a guaranty, also i don't think id is 'lighting' it should be something else, take the lighting rod and if you got essentials type /itemdb it 'should' give you the id, type that id into classes.yml if that doesn't work im sorry, don't use plugins items

Posted Apr 6, 2013alright so ive got a lot of problems with this mod. first i cant get it to allow more than one person in. i want to set up a game where its no teams everyone for them self, 8 players. it dosent matter how they spawn in. all at once or one at a time eithor way they will be held until there are 8 players by my redstone contraption. im using the arena gametype. i can not get it to let anyone in unless i have nteams set to 1+ i have 8 spawn positions set. nest what are wrspawnlocs. nest, what is "brokenarena" and another problem is i can not get signs to join in to work with the arenas name "hunger" only "arena" and that will prevent me in the future from having more than one game of the same type. if anyone can help at all please please. P.S. is there a way to take off the timelimit?

Posted Apr 6, 2013I don't think the permissions are working right. I've given all players arena.spleef.leave but they can't leave and arena.arena.leave Also, forcestart gives an error of no permission. Did I mess something up?
Also, any luck with the join announcements?

are you changing the index? you should be incrementing it for each individual spawn. That way if you have like 10 different spawns you can replace spawn #4 just by specifying 4 as the index.

Posted Apr 6, 2013Anyone know why only a few item spawns show up? I've added like many items to be spawned in game commands, but only a handful show in the config file. This is for colloseum.

do they have the option onStart.options: [pvpOn] ?? They definitely should be able to damage each other unless that option is missing and some other plugin is taking over damage.
Let me know!

Posted Apr 6, 2013I might be doing something wrong here, but for the timed events (I've tried deathmatch and ffa so far) once they start you cannot damage the players at all. The 1v1 arena works perfectly fine it's just the events I started. I have PvP on in all of those areas also.
Thoughts?

It is compatible with TagAPI, not sure if it's on his compatible plugins. I'll ask him to put it on.
It enables TagAPI automatically no tutorial.
@rsod
pastebin me your custom event Config.yml. Should be able to help you.
But.. the current way should be make that config and put it in the "competitions" folder.

So you can change the default time inside the
BattleArena/config.yml
look for
defaultOptions: matchTime: 120or you can add matchTime into any of the game type configs.
