Posted Jun 24, 2013Another gamemode for BattleArena? MobArena
Incorporating this (perhaps as a separate plugin that hooks into Battle API) would be sick! Not a plugin developer myself, but putting it in here as a request to anyone interested!

Posted Jun 23, 2013Hi, I'm trying to make a class in which you get spawn eggs, but BA doesn't support that? I'm not getting any errors in the console saying that it's an invalid item, but when I click on the class I don't get anything. Here is my config for that class: necro: displayName: "&bNecromancer" items: - 283: 34:1 1 - 364: 4 - 383;50: 3 - 383;51: 5 - 383;54: 8 - 383;52: 3 - 383;66: 3 - 298: 1 - 307: 1 - 301: 1 enchants: - resistance:1:1800
Please try to make it work.
Thanks, MojatoGames

Posted Jun 23, 2013Hi (again), I posted a comment earlier about a question and a suggestion, but have thought of something else as well. It would be great if you could have signs that display the information of a current game like in the survivalgames plugin, where you can see if a game is in progress, how long til start, number of players, etc. Thanks a lot, Tom!

Posted Jun 22, 2013Is it possible to block mcmmo in the arenas? This would venture to avoid the benefits sometimes too big for sure!

I didn't see any errors in the console, I parsed classes.yml and checked out, haven't changed it since before most recent version (3.8.8.3.3). I can still create the signs fine, and hitting the signs multiple times even gives the "you can only change classes every X seconds" warning so that still works. But before, during a match, when you died you would respawn with no class and could hit a class sign to receive that class, now you just respawn with the default class all the time and trying to select a new one does nothing.
This is CTF matches btw, should I maybe just remove the default class from the config? I will try and test it out more tonight to see if I can get it to throw an error or something.
Also: was wondering if there is some way to set up a small delay between matches? When people are playing a match and other people join the lobby, when the match is over the people playing have no time to rejoin before newcomer's match starts.

Posted Jun 21, 2013Hi, I have problem with the scheduled events not working. I notice when the server starts up it states that a CTF event is starting and that's it. It is possible to join the event, but when it ends there are no further announcements and it is not possible to join again.
Also, BattleTracker 2.5.4.1.1 behaves strangely, no errors, but after restart the KDR and/or WLR signs are changed to Rating signs.
I am also getting this on shutdown: http://pastebin.com/AG1JsAVS
And I've just noticed this: http://pastebin.com/atrybSN5

Posted Jun 21, 2013Hi, First of all I would like to say what a great job you are doing with this plugin, especially with all the continuous updates! I have a suggestion and a question: Question: Is it possible so that when people are killed, it is arena specific, so they instantly respawn and do not have to click respawn in the client? Sorry if this is already a feature, I am a fairly new user... Suggestion: Arena specific chat! I am currently setting up a pvp/factions server, but would like to incorporate some arenas, although it would be great if you could have arena specific chat, as currently all that chat from the arenas gets mixed up with everything else! Thanks a lot, Tom

You would make the number of teams 2, and the teamSize 2
nTeams: 2 teamSize: 2@thomasmccarron
Glad you got it working! yeah, names have to be exact and has to have "Config.yml" at the end.
@jack588
You have teleportWaitroom inside of "onEnter".. I need to warn and automatically remove that.
You should have teleportWaitroom in, onPrestart, onJoin, or onStart... really anywhere besides onEnter. if you have it onEnter its like saying.. when you enter, teleport to the waitroom, which makes you enter, which makes you teleport to the waitroom, which makes you enter....
@Aldonall12
If there is no PvP make sure you have "pvp=true" in the bukkit server.properties. Also makes sure you aren't disabling PvP events through worldguard. I'm guessing that's it.
You can give them a default class in the config.. but otherwise there is no command right now for them to type besides clicking on a class sign.
@obscurehero
Are you getting any errors on the console? still seems good to me.
@leponder
Any errors on the console? They should work, but remember you have to be in a game for them to work.
@rsod
You should probably get me your config that you want to change. But in that config you want these options
matchTime: infinite defaults: options: [alwaysOpen]@Lief0102
Which version do you have? I think I fixed this, but if not I'll put up a version that does fix.

Posted Jun 20, 2013Hello, all the arena's ive made have been working fine. Except when people die it wont show the score boards at the side of the screeen anymore and thhe players names wouldnt be colored any more either. For example, at ctf you would have the list of players on the right side of the screen with the colors on there name. after you die the colors leave there gametags and the list at the side of the screen disapears. please tell me if this is a glitch or can be fixed because ctf gets confusing
