I'll have to clean that up a bit. The command you should be using is
Then if you don't want it to countdown use the * /ffa start
@rikdenhartog7
Usually if a class doesn't work its because of the yaml, or the item name you used. There should be some Error or Warning at startup giving you a message about it.
@ThunderGemios10
I don't really have organized testers.. but you are free to hop on irc and use whatever dev versions I put up.
@wiedzmin137
Honestly probably not, unless I get a bunch of free time. I support Heroes as it has a large user base and I am friends with that group.

I have found that if you downgrade your BattleArena plugin to v3.9.4.6.7, it works fine.

Posted Sep 15, 2013Please help me. I have everything set up the same way as you do and am running the most recent version of BattleArena. When typing "/ffa start" I get the message: There are no open FreeForAll. Logically, I type "/ffa open ffa1" and it gives me a message saying ffa1 is open; however, when I type "/ffa start" again, even if I had just opened the arena, it gives me the message that There are no open FreeForAll. Any help would be appreciated. Z

Hey JRsz, oops. Thanks for catching that. New version uploaded to Bukkit.
3.9.4.6.9+ has the fix.
With the yml format there is a short and long form of the yaml files. I personally like the look of the short form, but the long form is the only way that Bukkit allows you to save them.
So basically, to use the command line options Bukkit will save the config in the long form. So unfortunately I'm going to switch everything over to the longform in the future just so no one gets used to the pretty shortform, then uses a command to see it all change :(

Posted Sep 13, 2013Hi, I am experiencing a bug with the Spleef extension which occured, after I updated Battlearena from 3.9.4.6.1 to 3.9.4.6.8. I am able to join the queue and others can do so too and I also see the little window on the right side which shows us who is still alive, but the match does not start, i do not get teleported and so on...
I get this from the console: http://pastebin.com/G1tdnKDu and this is my SpleefConfig.yml: http://pastebin.com/GM7HaTsd
Another small error I had a lot of trouble earlier: When you change a gametype, e.g the reward for winning via ingame commands, the whole format changes from
[money=100]
to
-money:100
If this is too unlear, I will create another paste with a better example. This is no problem, I like the second way, because I am more familiar with this one, BUT due to this process, some for example the JoinType was completly removed from the config. That completly destroyed my way of the phases with teleportin, teleport waitroom, start, etc...
Because of this, I do not use the commands any more, because they mess around too much with the arenaTypeconfig :/ I have not checked it since the update yet, just so you know.
But the Spleef Bug is more important right now, because it breaks the whole plugin(-extesion).
I have another issue but spent only an hour till now, so for the moment, I will work on that for my selfe and maybe consult you later, if I can not solve it.
Sorry for the long post, but please help me and if necessary, fix these bugs :)
John

Try looking here.
@Kroghdk
Looks at the above link as well!
@Nstemp
Try talking to Alkarin in the IRC. Don't expect anything soon though. He is very busy and has to fix bugs before adding new features. (There are still bugs to be fixed)
@navbarry
set nLives: 100
---------------NOTE: I learned how to fixed the reply things! :D
