Posted Apr 20, 2013Can you add option to regenerate the chest (or better put random content on chest) in arena with predefined rate table? (for hungergames can be cool)

lol, alright
1) is already done
2) yep, gotcha
@rsod
Hmm.. I havent ever had someone want to take out name tag colors, I'll have to add that option in. I'll make both PlayerKills and HighestKills break the tie to the person with the least deaths.
@ler12558
Yes, look at "messages.yml"
Let me know which other messages you would like to configure.

Posted Apr 19, 2013+1 for Ryan's suggestion!
Those are two things I've been greatly feeling would improve BA..
1) The ability to choose which arena to join (rather than cycling through a list)
2) Some sort of indicator as to how many people are already in a given arena
It seems to me the number should be indicative of the number of people actively engaged in a match, and if no match has started yet then it would default to how many people are in queue.

Posted Apr 19, 2013Hey alkarinv, your wiki isn't clear =/
Okay so you told me to do this: "put dropItemOff inside of onPrestart, onStart, onVictory
-> These things can only be found in the config.yml under announcements. =/
Also, in arenaconfig.yml these can be found as following:
http://pastebin.com/PKZxUeyR
But nothing as you said? Where do I put it in now =/ Been looking for 2 hours now =/
Also, you told me to give a flag, noentry to the wg area, do I do this with battle arena flags?
How?! Again -> http://battleplugins.com/w/index.php/BA_Regions Nothing here about flags =/
Also I tried setting a normal area around the place, but then players couldn't move inside the area =/
+ Do I need to have use-player-move-event: true ? or can this be false for Battlearena?
Thnx!

Posted Apr 18, 2013Alkarin:
Hi, I noticed while poring through the wiki that there's a wgClearRegion option, which removes item drops from the arena region.
This does not, however, seem to completely clear the region -- it leaves behind all the XP drops. I can see how this would be nice in some scenarios, but when I want to wgClearRegion I want to really wgClear the Region ;)
Would it be relatively easy to split up wgClearRegion into wgClearRegionItems and wgClearRegionExp ?
(...and maybe have wgClearRegion default to wgClearRegionItems just for backwards-compatibility)

Posted Apr 18, 2013Sorry... one more question :P
Is there a way to make the plugin ignore SimpleClans? Right now, players in the same clan can't attack each other, even if they're on opposite teams... thanks

Wait do you want teamkill?? By default team PvP is off, so that shouldn't be scoring that as a kill... if it is its a bug.
If you want team killing just take out pvpOn, then BattleArena won't handle damage at all...

Posted Apr 18, 2013Also, people on the same team can teamkill? I know before the scoreboard update there was no teamkilling, but I'm guessing there's a new config statement for it? I also looked through the Configs but couldn't find it. This if also for CTF.
And the Scoreboard right now is awesome, the players are loving it. Can't wait until it's much more dynamic.

So, it's pretty new functionality so its not very customizable (right now). But if you hit tab during the ctf it should show all the player kills.
I'll be making that more and more customizable, but I just wanted to get it out first.

Posted Apr 18, 2013Is there a way to customize the score board that appears in game?
I want to have a list of the players participating in a CTF game, but currently it only shows the times each team has scored. I would like to add the players participating along with the score. I have looked on the Wiki and in the Configs for this, but haven't found anything. Thanks!

You need to be in a game for the signs to work.
Example with the gladiator class

Are you saying your class signs work?? :D Im trying to get mine to work, I enter the data on the signs right, I renamed the classes to just a number like, 1, 2, 3, and 4 but the "name" is other than a number so I can make speedy signs. But trying to click on a sign did nothing last time I tried :S
