Posted Jun 19, 2013Hey guys, two questions, one major, one not so much.
First of all. PvP isn't working on my server. Period.
I've changed every freakin' setting everywhere for PvP to be on, even outside of arenas, just for a test. People can't hit each other ever for any reason.
Could really use some ideas/help.
Otherwise, can people select classes without signs? I'm planning to make custom classes for say one person (through) permissions but I don't want a ton of signs. This is kind of made null by the first question though ;P

Posted Jun 19, 2013Heyas, would anybody be able to help me get my custom gamemode working? Heres the config: http://pastebin.com/xepMcEwZ
Im not sure what the problem is. I have restarted the server and am still getting the 'unknown command' error, even though I have set the command up in the config.
Thanks!
EDIT: I found and fixed the problem. The gametype file NEEDs 'Config' on the end of it, so instead of 'CactusDeath.yml', it needed to be 'CactusDeathConfig.yml'

Take a look at the Skirmish gamemode. First look at this: http://battleplugins.com/w/index.php/BA_Tutorial Then this: http://battleplugins.com/w/index.php/BA_creating_arenas
Just set up arenas as Skirmish games and players take in what they have in their inventory and go out with whatever they can pick off other players.
Good luck!

-A noLeave feature to be added to onStart so that players can't flee fights. Especially skirmish duels.
-The ."/sk duel <player>" command should check if both the players are close enough to the arena. The withinDistance check from preReqs should be applied here. Also recheck the distance from the arena for both players so they can't cheat.
-Add option to randomiza arenas. So users will go to one of the spleef arenas at random.
-Add option to spleef so that different items can be given for different arenas. (for TNT spleef)
-Add a phrase to config so we can set "disabledCommands: [all]" to avoid plugin overlap.
Edit: -Players should not be able to remove or drop items from their inventory in specific games. Such as DeathMatch, Spleef etc.
Thank you for this great plugin! We love it!

That you can't change. You will have to take the permission away from the player, or disallow that command in the lobby.

Go to BattleArena/config.yml, numberSavedInventories in your config, and change it to either 0 or 1.

Posted Jun 15, 2013Player invents
Hi, i have a server called Smash-Craft, i have recently added battle arena and the players love it. The arenas are causing alot of ram usage however. I think this is due to having to store player invents.
My question is how do i stop the plugin storing player invents and make the player have to joni with an empty invent?

Posted Jun 14, 2013@Paarthy:
Sounds like you have your competition set to JoinPhase.
JoinPhase arenas have to be "opened" before a match can be started in one. I think there's a setting in your main config.yml (not your competition config file) to allow users to open events. If you enable that, the event will automatically be opened when a user tries to join.
The other option is to switch to Queue matchType in which case the arena will always be open. This would allow you to also have another game type which does use JoinPhase and the arena only opens when an admin (or console script) opens it (eg, an arena only available for the nightly 7'oclock tournament)

Posted Jun 14, 2013@xiamix:
All of the info you've requested as a tutorial is available on the BattleWiki (link at the top of this page).
Also you'll find there is a large community of people who use BattleArena and are happy to help clarify. And if you can't get help on here, click the link for the IRC channel in the 'Help' section on this page -- quite often Alkarin himself hangs out in there. He's the developer so if he can't explain something then it can't be done.
