I think the porkchop is named something weird in bukkit, maybe just use the itemcode number to be sure.
@rsod
Yes, you can put it inside of
onFinish: options: []That happens just once.
I'll check, those options might not be inheriting correctly.
I swear we had fixed the no colored names issue... sorry about that :(
Honestly, send me a list of bugs today, and hop onto IRC tomorrow and we can make sure they are all gone.
@TomSpuhler
Yes you can select them in the Lobby. And what do you mean buggy? can you send me your classes.yml and tell me which ones aren't working?

Posted Jun 1, 2013Hello,
1. Is there any way to do command just once when specified arena finished? Doesn't matter if it's possible through config or through events, however config is preferred way
2. For some reason overriding those options:
does not works, on /<whatever> auto, there is still 3 minutes and announces every minute
as well as overriding useColoredNames not working, as well as game with queue starting immediately after 2 people joining while arena accepts up to 4 participants and load of another bugs. Sorry, but that bugs already here for a while and it's little annoying

Teamkill should definitely be off. look inside the ArenaConfig.yml. The "pvpOn" should be inside of Arena.onStart.options:
or in game.
and look for the options inside of "onStart"

You can already do that
on signs
@megasnipez_
People can team kill? if you have the option "pvpOn" that should automatically disable team killing. If that's not happening then maybe I need to change something because of the new Bukkit Teams. Let me know :)

Posted May 31, 2013Hello. I was wondering if you could add a system so people could queue for the desired arena(1v1, spleef, Parkour, Etc...) and if someone have queued for the same arena type they will be informed that a match was found and that they will be teleported to the specific arena to fight their matching opponent.
Many thanks in advance. - mmaaxx68
Edit
I just noticed that this feature is available in Battlegrounds but does it work for 1v1 spleef and 1v1 Deathmatch too? :)

What are you trying to do Tdog? if you paste me the config you are changing and tell me what you want to do I'll help you out.
Or if you've solved it already great :)
@ilovewhaling
Can you paste me your config? it's possible I might have a bug, but if you paste it I'll test to make sure.
@Matt19901
So, it looks ugly, but its fine. Basically I use Vault economy, and for some reason BOSE doesn't implement one of the needed methods( the one that gets the currency name). So it throws this error which I print out.
It won't affect the plugin at all, it's just letting you know that BOSE needs to make that method so that it works completely with Vault. I know it's ugly, but it won't do anything.

place "dropItemOff" inside of onPrestart and onStart
@megasnipez_
Change the number of teams (nTeams) and the teamSize both to two.
To change the time.

Posted May 31, 2013Hi, I can't get randomRespawn to work, only the conventional respawn. When I try to set it to randomRespawn players are sent to the world's spawn point, on death. If you need any of my config files, just ask! Thanks :)

Posted May 30, 2013I must be a dumbass, but I can't get the pluging to honor the match options I am putting into the config.yml
Do I need put them in separate yml files contrary to the tutorial? I've simply tried pasting in the default match ymls into the config and changed #of arrows from 32 to 64 and can't get it to take?
What am I missing?
