Posted Aug 2, 2013Great plugin! Very nice work. However, in some upcoming future updates, could you guys add functionality for a lobby sign wall? Similar to the way Survival Games signs work. That would be the icing on the cake!
Thanks for all the great work guys! Keep it up!

You should definitely pm me and get me your IP so I can join your server to figure out what is going on. In the meantime I'll try to use a lobby to get that bug to occur.
In the meantime you might want to switch the lobby to a waitroom, no one seems to be having problems with those.

I did do as you said before hand. If you would read some of your past pages you would know I was talking about how players in the 'lobby' come into the sk match before players are even done fighting and then a 1v1 turns into a 1v1v1v1v1 exc.. I only have 2 spawns. The first match is fine.. Then all hell breaks loose.
@alkarinv
Same as said above.
I'll try your new builds for the plugin if you guys cant come up with any help.

Posted Jul 31, 2013UPDATE
As many of you know I went away on vacation and released a couple of versions of BattleArena that I really shouldn't have. This has led to a lot of frustration for new and old users of the plugins.
The newest versions of BattleArena are still waiting for approval by Bukkit, but you can pm me for a direct link. Once these clear, everything should be solid and stable again.
Honestly I am embarassed for even releasing these broken versions, I have a serious of tests that I run to ensure all of the core functionality works which I failed to do in this case.
Apologies to everyone that was baffled by the sudden non-workiness

Posted Jul 31, 2013I have an issue that started when I added a preReq to require players to have a specific amount of money to join an arena. "The arena (Arena Name) doesn't match your join requirements" I removed the preReq, yet this issue still exists if I try to join an arena either through signs or through using "/(gametype) join (arena name)". If I try to join just by using "/(gametype) join" it works. Not sure what's causing this issue. I'm using the latest version of the plugin.
Also, is there a page on the wiki that contains all the options and cmds for the configs? I saw that poolMoney was added in one of the updates, but I couldn't find anything on how/where to use it in the configs. Any assistance here would be appreciated, thanks.

Latest version of the plugin works flawless. If you can't set it up properly, or you can't read the documentation then that's not the plugins problem.. Sounds like you need to make a Skirmish arena, Do /skirmish create <name>, Then do /arena alter <name> <1,2> - What's so hard about that?

Posted Jul 31, 2013All I wanted was a 1v1 arena. But as this plugin does not work and you guys don't reply to my 'help calls', I will just get Mobarena to fill the void you guys left.

So by setting the condition to playerkills it looks for the highest kills at the end of the match.. but putting nlives to 100... does that make the match go on for 100 kills? or does it instead respect the main config.yml file and set the match for whatever time is set for matches in that config.yml file?

Taco, for that, change things around slightly.
Hopefully after a reload that will make that work

Sent you a pm, those are both errors based on needing money to join. Added that to my test cases and its fixed now.
@Tisra
Please get me your ip, I sent you a version but I would like to see this as it sounds different.

Posted Jul 30, 2013This is something new that just happened today after we did a restart. I'm not entirely sure what happened / didnt happen.
But after our restart today no arenas where working. I cant remember what the exact message was, because it was a new message. But it was almost like it detected the arenas but couldnt que you for it.
All arenas where working just fine before the restart and nothing changed during the restart. No error in the server log. Just when you clicked the sign it said it could que you with a strange message.
Might be similar to what Sekatorr is talking about. But I can't say. Everything worked fine till the restart.
