But you will need Vault. If you don't have Vault... well you should get it as it is basically an essential plugin :)

Hi Marine, we talked about this already but to let everyone else know BattleArena can only disable the powerloss in Factions 2.0+.
@Teku13
You can't, ... but, you can use the doCommands option to give them anything.
http://wiki.battleplugins.com/w/index.php?title=BA_Classes
Make sure you also change the BattleArena/config.yml to disable looking for the same items.
@Teku13
odd, I'll have to use your config and debug that then.

No, there is no flying they just spawn inside the waitroom ( a glass sphere ) and drop to the center of it, and can walk around. Once inside the arena they drop from the mid-air spawn points and cannot fly.

Posted Feb 12, 2014Is there any chance you could take over the SurvivalArena plugin? It's so cool the way they all work together, but there is very little support with the current SA dev, and I'd really like to stick with BA for everything :)

Posted Feb 11, 2014Could anyone help me with getting players to be able to fly in the arena? Heres my DogFightConfig.yml file (custom game type I modified from FFA) http://pastebin.com/tLxYVY5Y.
The gametype works fine except I drop instead of being in flight. Can anyone help?

I mean make seperate permissions for players to send challenges and accept challenges. Makes for a great donor perk on servers, so that players can challenge who they want, while anyone is able to accept a challenge.
Also, this might be a question for BattleTracker, but is there anyway to reset a specific person's statistics (W/L ratio)?

Yep, you can color things (well, only leather because that's what minecraft allows).

@holynexus
What is going on? if you are having problems it's usually best to find me on IRC.
@GamerGuppy
Hey, I've updated that plugin and I know it works with the most recent BattleArena, I'll send you a private message where you can find it.
@JustReevo
Can you be specific? I'm pretty confident that nearly all of the base functionality if bug free. The only outstanding one is switching classes after choosing (working on atm).
@LovelightsMC
There is already a duel system. Is this what you mean? or do you mean something on top of the current duel system?
@meshfx
The inventory disappears? That is something I've never heard of before. What is your ip?
OP's usually can do everything, even destroy blocks, with any plugin. But you try this.

Posted Feb 11, 2014Hey,
One more thing. I cannot seem to change classes. I have created the signs in the 'Lobby' area and they are correctly coloured, but when I click them nothing happens.
If I create the signs in the arena, if I click the sign of the class I already am it tells me I am that class already. If I click another one it says I cannot change class after switching items. So that I think tells me the permissions are ok in the fact it knows the classes are there, but I am not sure how I can switch from one to the other or a custom one I create in general.
I have the lines;
arena.class.use.gladiator: true
arena.class.use.archer: true
arena.class.use.monk: true
as part of my permissions.yml file
Thanks all.

Posted Feb 10, 2014Is there anyway that you could give some players (ex: donors) a permission to challenge others while the person being challenged can always accept challenges?

Make sure you have joined the match to get the signs to work. Also, make sure text changed color. This will tell you if you formatted the sign right.
Are there errors when you use the join command?
Watch the server console as it starts up to make sure there were no errors loading. You also may have a tab in one of your yml files. They are whitespace sensitive.
To teleport in make sure you have the teleportIn parameter in the on Join section of the config.
If you're still having trouble paste bin your configs for us. Include your base config for the game and your arena.yml as well as any other configs you changed.

Kind of rude dontcha think? instead of yelling "too many bugs!" how about you help out and point out specifics so that they can be fixed.
