Posted Oct 1, 2013I been unsuccessful in configuring the follow set-up, any guidance?
We have a lobby outside the arena, where the player can pick Gladiator,Monk, or Archer. It is meant to be a Death-match, most kills in 2 minutes.
But when the first person dies, basically they loose their gear. and then the other person just farms them. Not very fun.
Ideally, like to have the person respawn with the class gear they picked, or something, armed person vs naked isn't very fun.

Usually that's either b/c you changed up the config somehow and it became broken, or some other plugin is conflicting and stopping it. If you pastebin your game config then I probably can give you a better answer.
@flip284
So if you have 2 teams with 4+ players on each team, then do you have at least 8 players that have joined? These most recent versions should be giving you messages about the minimum number of people to start the game normally. If thats the case you could change the teamsize to like.. 2-6 or something.
Otherwise pastebin your game config and I'll test with it to see whats up.
@NemesisMate
I actually do give them back their scoreboard. In what cases is it happening? when they leave or all the time? It's either something I'm missing or some other plugin.
@saxons12
Thanks Saxons, that will be fixed next version I release!

Posted Sep 29, 2013I am using BattleArena_v3.9.4.9 for 1.6.4 on spigot version 1.6.4... The last few versions that has been broken for awhile.
I have 2 /arenas.
My first arena is composed of 4 teams with 2+ players on each team. This one starts and plays fine.
My second arena is set to 2 teams with 4+ players on each team. This arena will not start unless an admin does /arena forcestart AND on the 2 spawn points, 2 teams spawn at each spawn point even though its set so that there are 2 teams.

Posted Sep 29, 2013Player are loosing their server scoreboard when leaving a game, it would be great if you give them their "before game" scoreboard when leaving.
However, is there a way to make a competition between arenas, players starts, for example, a 15 minutes game, each 5 minutes the change the arena.
An other thing I want is to make a rounds competition where, for example, if there are 4 players in each team, they respawn at their spawn when one of the team win, so you can configure for example a 5 round game where points are for rounds won not for player kills.
If is there a way to make anyone of this I would like to have a little help as I tried to do it but nothing :S.
Thanks for all.

Glad we got that figured out!
@JRsz
I just responded about Nausea, its called confusion in bukkit.. i added a mapping between them so you can use either name in the next version. 3.9.4.9.3+
@Tigergruppe
Sorry, pvp=true needs to be set. Without that being set literally no pvp plugin will work :(
Most people get around this by using Worldguard to protect world pvp.
@InsomniaCraft
Yeah, I'll see if I can disable enderchest access while in the arena system. I can't think of a reason to use it. You can disable the command through the disabledCommands and disableQueueCommands in the config.yml
@JRsz
Yep, check the message above!

if the arena's are in other worlds then you can just enable pvp in that world and have them tp there to fight if not your gonna have to enable pvp to use it.
@Jknies
You dont put the cords of where you want them to tp to you just put teleport and it will automatically tp them to that arena get rid of the cords.

Posted Sep 26, 2013Found a serious issue with alphachest and essentials enderchest commands and battle arena that lets players take items out from their kits.
I've disabled the /echest and /chest commands in queue and in arena but if 2 players duel and one of them logs out, the other one gets bugged and is unable to do anything, which is sort of working as intended, but they can now access their echest and chest

Posted Sep 26, 2013Hello BA Team!
This may sound like a silly question, but in order for his plugin to work does the world have to be set to PvP=True? Or can that be overridden somehow with the worldguard regions? I run a survival server who would simply like to have a PvP Arena or two in our main world.

2 things the value isn't in the arena.yml i tried just adding it in the config it didn't work
and how would i contact you on irc? im new here so i dont know what that stands for.
Also: it doesn't seem like i can edit the*arena* in that gametype much, can you check this or post me a config set up so i can change as much as i can in the gametype config.
Appreciate the responding to my posts am i right that this is still in beta?

Turns out that command isnt there, and it should be, if you open up your arenas.yml you should be able to tell if nLives is set at all, or is set to a wrong value. If that doesn't work, why don't you or James try to reach me on irc tomorrow.
@antichip
Thanks!

Posted Sep 23, 2013I just wanted to say what a great person alkarinv is, really stands behind his work and way more than helpful or patient. Even if this plugin was trash, and it is soooo not, he is one of the few bukkit devs that will make it right to the end. Please give this guy a thank-you after he helps you out. OK that is all.
