Posted Aug 18, 2013Hello.
I've been using your plugin for a little while and I really like it. I have two questions though.
Can I have a specific area which is not in the "random map pool", so that it can't be joined while picking ffa for example?
And is it possible to make a sign to join that specific game, which is not in the pool (preferably through signs?)
Many thanks!

Posted Aug 17, 2013Excellent plugin! Thanks for all the hard work you put into it, we used it for many custom mini games already; like teamspleef, KingOfTheLadder & TheWalls. Below I've listed a few additions I personally would very much like to see (maybe I've overlooked some features already there) and would enable us to make far more custom games:
-An instant reward for a kill (required for "one in a chamber" for new ammunition, players got 1 arrow and get a new one for every kill) -Custom victory conditions using the minecraft Scoreboard. (so people receive points through commandblocks and the plugin determines the winner based on highest amount of points). Could be useful for "KingOfTheLadder" and various other minigames which now don't seem to have a winner since there is only a time-limit. -Commandblock respawns: With this I mean that the plugin doesn't necessarily handle the respawns but command blocks can take over that job. Would be very handy for our server's adventuremap or minigames like "templerun" or parkour in general (yes I know you have an addon for that).
Edit: Also a great addition would be to start a new round immediately after a game with 10 seconds in between to /leave so people are more likely to join the next round. Another thing that annoys some players now is that when people are already in game and another person wants to join the game, this new person causes "force start after 1 minute" to start counting. This has as consequence that whenever the game is finished a new game starts immediately after. This way the old players can't join the new match.

Posted Aug 17, 2013Hi! This plugin and the 3 official minigames have worked perfectly, up to now. I've updated everything to the latest version and now I get this error after the server finishes loading:
Any input?

If you're having issues with people using commands when they aren't supposed to, a possible temp fix would be World Guard's flag-cmd's feature. Create a region where they players wait in the Queue, and use /region flag <region-name> blocked-cmds <command>.

Posted Aug 16, 2013I'm creating a custom plugin, but for whatever reason I have two problems:
A ) Despite the victoryCondition being LastManStanding, Both players have to die before a winner is declared.
B ) For whatever reason, when the match is over all it says is "{teamlong1} drew {teamlong2}!
Any help?
EDIT: Nevermind, my problem was that having nTeams as "1+" seems to do odd things. Was using it for testing, seems it was breaking it.

I don't have an ingame command for it, but you can just change the game config and add in "doCommands"

Someone else reported that as well. I'll get you a fix.
@PlayMinefall
Usually that happens if the world is no longer there, or the world for some reason doesnt get loaded until after BattleArena loads. Either of those sound possible?
@saxons12
DisableQueue commands I'll have to fix, tested and that for sure is broken atm. I have a fix for that error you posted though
@mmaaxx68
BattleTracker has events for kills that other plugins can hook into, but BattleArena doesnt have that :(

@SuiXi3D
You can set up multiple spawns. then do
That will make people spawn at random locations when they respawn after a death. Right now that's as close as I get.
