Posted Jul 2, 2013Does this plugin have a feature that sends people into an arena when they stay on a lobby without typing any commands with different map and mode cycles?

Posted Jul 2, 2013After an ArenaPaintball match (which uses BattleArena), we noticed something odd for 2 players. The color of their {tab} name, and the name above their head, stayed blue, as it change to during the match. Is there a way we can undo this?

The update was released only a couple of hours ago and it's a Dev build. Christ on a Bike, would you wait like everyone else? You cannot expect large plugins such as this to be updated within a matter of seconds. Things take time, unfortunately...

Posted Jul 2, 2013Is there a way that you can gain money per kills? For example I am trying to create a Mob Arena and I would like the player to get more money the more kills they get and then if they survive the time limit then they win.

The free for all gamemode is an Event-based gamemode. It requires an event to be set up in order to run it. To fix this, go into your FreeForAllConfig and change "joinType: JoinPhase" to "joinType: Queue". That'll make it so every time someone joins, they are sent to a queue instead of waiting for an event to be open.

Posted Jun 30, 2013Is there currently any way to make a game mode where matches stop after someone reaches a certain number of kills?
Also, is there any way to change the text "Still Alive" on the sidebar to something else?
Thanks!

Posted Jun 30, 2013Is there a way to create a list of items that a winner can get and randomly give one of them? I looked through the documentation and could not find this, but it wouldn't surprise me if its possible with how robust this plugin is.
What I would love to do is give my winner one item from a list (ideally with probabilities), something like
Thanks :D

From my own use, I've experienced that it actually randomly selects an arena. I'm not operating with different map sizes config wise, so I can't really tell you anything... Sorry D:

It'll force people into a larger arena? So if arena A needs 6+ people but the gamemode only requires 1+, it'll still potentially throw them into that massive arena?
EDIT: Upon further testing, it ALWAYS will choose the first arena if it's available.
Even if I balance the player requirement to 1 per team (only 2 of us to test) it always chooses the first arena unless you have it do arena in order.

Posted Jun 29, 2013Okay, I've been customizing my arenas when I came across the options breakBlocksOff and placeBlocksOn, does it fix the map afterwards? If it does, you should really put that in the features section, because a lot of people look for that.
Thanks, MojatoGaming

As far as I know, no. Most outside plugins don't interfere with the arenas, meaning McMMO, factions etc. stays unaffected. You don't gain skill, you don't loose power and so on.
