I figured it all out. I was unsure of how it was all laid out. Such as the types of "arena" you make is determined by /arena or /skirmish. And that when you set up spawns, they are team spawns and the waiting room is technically the lobby. Unless I'm wrong and the Lobby is the place where you can choose the arena you go in?
Also, I'm confused, I saw something about the Courtyard and I have no idea what it is or what it's even used for. Didn't see a command about it. Also, What's "sao"? Saw something like /arena sao and had no idea what it was. Didn't see it on the wiki. :P
Thank you a lot by the way! I'm keeping the plugin and going to tough through it. Had loads of fun with it so far. Can't wait to see what the future holds. :)
EDIT: When players select a sign, it spams them with "You're already a <insert class name here>!"

I'll try and help. Put down your BattleArena version and Craftbukkit version. Finally link me to the Arena Config in pastebin.

Posted Sep 20, 2013I simply could not get the free for all waiting room to work. I added it in game, I added it to the FreeForAll config, it just teleports players to the spawn, and skips the waiting room all together. I cannot even find a good alternative to this arena plugin, there are simply no free for all kit plugins that work properly.

Posted Sep 20, 2013Update In version 3.9.4.8 I added a new configurable message. That means that the message.yml will be changed. Usually this process is automatic... but, if it isnt and you get players getting a "null" message add the following into the messages.yml system: section.
and change the messages.yml version to 1.6.3

Fixed in the next version. Anything more than 3.9.4.7.3+
@XgodofwarX
You need to actually be in the arena/waitroom for signs to work, otherwise they just look pretty. If you did join, then are you sure that the class loaded completely correctly? you can check by trying to give yourself the class.
@rikdenhartog7
You dont have a "gladiator" class anymore. Change those configs to use "warrior" or one of your other classes... or you can ignore the warnings.
@LordKainzo
I believe that should be fixed now, 3.9.4.8+
@serfma
I try to do what I can with the wiki, which parts were confusing?
Also you can set arena specific options. the "setoption" command sets it for the game type. the "alter" command sets it for specific arenas.
As for the duplicates, sure enough. Fixed in versions. 3.9.4.8.1+

Posted Sep 20, 2013You should clean up your Wiki and explain the plugin clearly and have the wiki more organized. Took me a good 30 minutes to understand how the plugin worked, such as the options for the "arenas" will be the exact same for each and every arena you set up and you're unable to set arena-specific options. Such as Arena1 allowing death respawns, and Arena2 not allowing respawns on death.
Other than that, I'm still struggling with this plugin to set up arenas and currently watching the YouTube tutorials since they are more clear. Not meaning to bash the plugin, it seems great, just a lack of clarity and organization in a lot of places causes a lot of frustration.
EDIT: A little thing I've noticed, I just found out that there is a command called /arenaAlter or /aa and whenever you type the command in, it has duplicates of /aa addspawn and it's description in-game. Check it out in-game by typing /aa and you'll see what I mean.

At the risk of sounding mean, just use the newer one then?
And if for whatever reason that isn't an option, can you use pastebin instead? The current way the error is displayed is weird and hard to read. Do this and I love to help!

What is your Config file for the arena look like? That is most likely where the problem lies.
@XgodofwarX
You need to have joined the arena. They only work for players in the arena. From your description it does not sounds like you are actually participating in the arena when you click the signs.

Kits are working, But they just looking pretty unless you actually join up and are inside a waitroom/arena.
@NemesisMate
Yep same as Ajaxan, per match scoreboards are definitely in effect :)

Kits do work as far as I can tell. When you create class signs do they change color? If not that is a clear sign they aren't being made right. If they are, then just supply a bit more detail and I'll try and help.
@NemesisMate
What exactly do you mean? As well as the match updates, the scoreboard is in use for each match.

Posted Sep 18, 2013A good thing to add would be a per match scoreboard system, so it's more interactive for players.
