It's not a big issue, it would just prevent people from accidentally dropping items and potion effects wearing off partially before the match starts.

What game are you using on this and which BattleArena? I accidentally made some extension games not change elo for a version or two, will be fixed on the next release.

But changing the messages shouldn't affect the elo at all.. {otherteam} get's the info from teamlong.

Hello, I did a fresh install of Battle Arena & Battle Tracker on Spigot 1.7.2-R0.3. When I edit anything in messages.yml the ELO system stops working. It displays the correct messages to what I configured without errors, but then the ELO system (default 1250) stays at 1250 after every win. I tested this by creating a empty server with a fresh install and the ELO system works after every fight, but then I edited:

twoTeams: ## 1 team vs another team prestart: '&eYour {matchname}&e match against {otherteam}&e starts in {time}.'

and turned it into,

twoTeams: ## 1 team vs another team prestart: '&7Your &2{matchname}&7 match against &2{otherteam}&7 starts in &2{time}.'

And the entire ELO system stopped working. I really like the ELO feature, but I would hate giving it up just to change the colors of the message texts.

That's a good eye! Those yml's are what I'm trying to put in to allow people to customize the look and other options of victory conditions which are currently not possible. They don't do anything right now though.

Spleef doesn't generate a SpleefMessages.yml b/c unlike CTF it doesn't have any new messages to add. You can copy the messages.yml and put it as ArenaSpleef/SpleefMessages.yml to be able to change those up.

Checking out the default files through BattleArena Source link I noticed that 2 files are missing in my BattleArena folder, they are victoryConditions.yml and the folder called victoryConditions with 4 yml files in it.The updates don't seem to generate those files - do I have to add them manually? Another question: What does LobbyConfig do? It looks like a usual arena config. I don't have it either. Plus, I have updated ArenaSpleef with the latest build and erased SpleefMessages to generate a new but it hasn't generated again? Thanks!

Actually, I think that's just a bug that would affect dueling on games that have the withinDistance specified. I just fixed though and it should be gone next release.

Saw this on the github issues page, I took down that build (which most people couldn't see) until I can verify with you. So check github for responses and we'll find it. sorry!

@ZOO231

Well, So are you using BattleTracker? That keeps track of player kills, team kills, and we are building a website so that servers that don't want to create their own can use it to display scores. http://battleplugins.com

@MegaNarwhal

So, you are talking about a delayed giving of the class.. and that isn't in their at the moment.. and it's not really high priority as there are a lot of other things to get to first. Why don't you want them to have it in the waitroom? are there problems?

@R0ckzo0r

Hey Rock, so you are right the auto is a bit tweaky right now and I haven't fixed yet. I'm working on that problem now though, so hopefully that will be working again very soon.

So i created a bunch of Arenas for our Server and i cant figure out how to Start a gametype auto. Your wiki seems a bit outdated, i found nothing for my Problem. Hopefully someone could help me out.

If i try to start for example Spleef auto with /spleef auto i just get an error "[BattleArena] auto args=[auto] can't be started. Arena test1 type=..... is not there or in use.

I already tryed this command /<event> auto for any gametype and alltimes it wont work.

I just want automatic Minigames with announce, for info.

best regard, and thanks if sm1 can help me out of that.

Great plugin, I used it before and I'm finding myself using it again to add some games to my server :D I've run into one really minor problem: is there any way to make it so players receive their class when they are teleported into the arena and the match starts instead of receiving it in the waiting room? I want them to only select their class in the waiting room, and get the items when the game starts.

Hello again Alkarinv, this post is again about the web stats, but could it be possible for ArenaCTF, ArenaSpleef, etc... to show maybe how many wins a team has or simply show a players stats. (Stats for the teams don't really matter, maybe just players) (For it to be easier, maybe make the plugins have separate web stats, instead of bundling it all into BattleArena) Thanks, again!

So to do that for duels you need to set

allowRatedDuels: true # By default dueling can not be rated # default duel options to pass in. Example [rated,money=100] defaultDuelOptions: [rated]

as for skirmish should just be.

./<game> setOption rated true <- possibly could be "rating"

@AndrejCarOwner

What is a player point? but you can add commands to almost any stage/transition

Newer versions of gravities code won't do this. Basically he made a library for updating plugins that bukkit now requires you to use, but different plugins are using different versions, and whichever plugin loads first puts in that "version" of his plugin. So basically, I'm using his newest, and some other plugin is using an older version...

So I think what I'll do is just include his code directly... several people have mentioned this error, and while it won't affect anything... it is annoying ;)

This time it comes with a java exception.. I am not too worried about the updater's format, but the exception might be a problem..
