In the arenas.yml file in BattleArena/saves we have defined two arenas:
http://pastebin.com/FAYm3tar
What is the command to modify an arena's nLives?
the arena: 'test' is the arena we are using.

Glad its fixed! I'll make a mention about worldguard/worldedit on the Spleef page until they update.
@MrozoPL
Strange.. can you pastebin me the full error? or is that it?
@Jameshobbs
That config looks fine. It might be that you have specific arenas with only 1 life? or do you only have one arena? If you have only one try to find me on irc so I can figure out whats happening!
@Tharai
That second config looks better as it has teleportIn, which makes people actually enter the arena. They should be teleported out with everything after the game? So is it just the /ffa cancel that isnt working?

Posted Sep 22, 2013@alkarniv Even with 4.8.1 ffa with wait room does not work properlly. There is no error message now...
With this config(http://pastebin.com/SCSbNfzH) the following happens:
Wait room starts, players teleport in. I call /ffa start it announces the fight, and then nothing else. Players are not teleported to the spawn points, and items are not given out. The timer starts counting down till the end, and once its over its announced a draw (or someone if i end early with /ffa winner) after this all players are still stuck in the waiting room without their inventories and if i picked a winner they recevied the awards(the buffs atleast)

Posted Sep 22, 2013Hello,
I installed the latest version of the plugin and am using the release version of bukkit. My friend and I are testing the free for all game type.
Here is how we are testing it. 1) Start server 2) each do /ffa join 3) Complete match 4) do /ffa join again
After the second /ffa join, we play the match, but it seems like our nLives is now set to 1 because as soon as someone gets killed, the match is over. If we /reload all plugins and do the match again, the game works again with 2 lives, but as soon as our second match then the first person to die causes the game to end. So after the first match all matches after that are turned into 1 life matches.
Here is the config for freeforall: http://pastebin.com/UQmT2Ke6
And list of plugins and bukkit version: Plugins (15): WorldBorder, GlobalChat, WorldEdit, TagAPI, Vault, PluginReloader, PermissionsEx, Herochat, WorldGuard, Essentials, EssentialsProtect, EssentialsSpawn, EssentialsChat, BattleArena, EssentialsAntiBuild
This server is running CraftBukkit version git-Bukkit-1.6.2-R1.0-b2879jnks (MC: 1.6.2) (Implementing API version 1.6.2-R1.0)

I am running on the latest devbuilds of both WE and WG because we are on 1.6.4, also using the latest dev build of craftbukkit. Maybe it's because I made the spleefarena circular? Does it only work with rectangular floor?

I'll try to get in touch with you, sounds like you are having a lot of problems.. I might not be able to tonight, but I'll be around most of tomorrow.
@rnoa
Hey Rnoa, It might be worldguard/worldedit? ArenaSpleef uses those to regenerate the floor. Could you check and let me know?

This still isnt working, and now duels are working either. If you have skype can you add me "InsomniaCraft" I'm willing to donate to the plugin if I can get this working in a few hours.

Thanks for making alkarin aware of the error. For the time being use a previous version. All versions are not tested completely as it would increase the wait time between new version.

Add this to onEnter:
- teleportWaitroom
- pvpOff
Then this to onPreStart:
- teleportIn
Finally you have to use the command /arena alter {name of arena} waitroom 1 If you want different waitingrooms per players set one for each team you expect.
And as for the factions bug, I'm not sure. Separating the world should have solved it. I'm not very good with factions anymore so you may want to talk to the creator of Factions about it.

What I am trying to achieve here is an arena where players teleport as soon as they queue, they get their kits as soon as they queue, and they wait for the arena to start, in which case they will be teleported there.
The entire waiting room aspect did not work at all, so currently, players just spawn and fight in 6 seconds.

Regular Config http://pastebin.com/xpiKBnxv ArenaConfig http://pastebin.com/Wchp3iA8 (Note that this is basically altered so that it's a freeforall, rather than an arena. I didn't have any luck with the ffa and the waiting room, nor did I have any luck with this either, so I just left it. The arena works fine, so players are using it, but the waiting room doesnt. The waiting room is NOT in this config, I guess I need help adding it properly.)
Bukkit and BattleArena are whatever are the latest versions. I just downloaded BattleArena today.
As a side note, I'm also having an issue with splash potions not damaging faction allies. I've already set f config to world ignore pvp (My arena is in a separate world)
