You didn't seem to finish your answer there. You stopped at " Hopefully I can get that functionality in soon, but those"

Posted Jul 13, 2013Right now the only functioning battlearenaschedule event is a Tourney, all the other event types are not found e.g.,
"Event type ffa not found!"
Am I doing something wrong? Or is there a fix for it?
Thanks!

Posted Jul 13, 2013When making a plugin with this, it keeps coming up with errors. I think I installed it wrong, i put it in the java build path, the same thing you do with bukkit. Is that what you are supposed to do?

Posted Jul 13, 2013In v3.9.1.3, players in a queue by '/arena join' can join as soon as another one is started, making it have 4 players instead of 2.

No clue, I think Ill try MultiWorld to see if it will help my case. BA starts up fine if I dont have Multiverse 2.5 but without it, BA wont recognize the Arena world I made. Multiverse is the medium needed for BA to find the arenas in the World_Arenas world or any other world a user chooses to build in, which really backs up the proof that multiverse is outdated enough to break the updated Battle Arena

The newer version gets rid of the distinction between Events and Matches. In the old version you had to manually start events.
Hopefully it should be approved by bukkit soon.
@Phasesaber
Both those things are definitely possible, but a bit outside the scope of BattleArena. There are probably lots of bukkit plugins that do those though!
@MojatoGames
The chests don't respawn items, though you can use worldguard. Or you can use Survival Arena (link above), that has custom code to reload chests. Hopefully I can get that functionality in soon, but those

You need the arena name for the signs to show the people in the queue. I'll be adding more functionality but that's what you need for right now.
@timsavage
Use the arena name on the 3rd line. I will be extending them as I go along.
@LastTulare
What??? why is multiverse messing up?
@Maroseliss
Whats currently wrong? Things should be working.

Posted Jul 12, 2013I was happy to see that in v3.9.1.3 the join signs now show some match information, but it doesn't seem to be working for me. I recreated my join signs and added a specific arena, but they still display the same as previous versions. Is there anything more I need to do to enable this feature?

Posted Jul 12, 2013Args! Multiverse 2.5 is breaking Battle Arena now D: Out of all my plugins, removing Mutiverse 2.5 is the only one that allows BA to fully enable, but without Multiverse, I cant load my arenas D;

For the 'On Death' option put the option clearInventory or keepInventory to prevent item drops, or set up World Guard to clear the dropped items. The Battle Wiki is your best friend (:

I might be able to do that buy making players buy the permission for a certain class with a different plugin.
But, see what you can do about the shop.
Thanks, MojatoGaming

I was thinking a global shop where you could buy items which you get in certain arenas. I would imagine the config to be arenaname: shopItems: [shop ids]. When you create an Item you could give it a name, that name would go in the [shop ids] which are enabled for that arena.
It's kinda rough but I hope you like it,
