Posted May 15, 2014Before I went to post a ticket, I thought I'd ask here:
Is anyone else having any troubles with the /ffa auto or other auto commands (BAS too) simply not working? I've tried on our live server as well as a fresh copy on my test bed and it's just not auto starting the match. When I force start, it works perfect.
Thanks!

No you can't, nice idea tough.
@FCRevv
This can't be posible by classes but it can be done with teams (if this is possible plz let me know I'm mistaken)

Yes, thank you!
Also, any way to get a block on your head? For example, the Dispenser class has a dispenser on its head..
Im making a game similar to Super Smash Bros btw, (I know, its been done alot.)

1- No idea :P (if you got problems with factions pvp there is a fix for that)
2- yea, the option -> doCommands: (command)
3- yea it's compatible with Heroes (config: /plugins/BattleArena/otherPluginConfigs)
@Curtis4321
Combat tag generates problems... i don't use it so I can't help you (maybe later) but if you disable it the BA plugin will work fine.

Well you should have nTeams: 1+
And matchTime: infinite
(Check that option in the wiki)
@CraftingBart
NO MORE SPAM!
@Curtis4321
You have a combatTAG issue, disable it and everyting should work just fine. (Or update the plugins)

The game is working fine in version 1.7.5 (my server version).
You could try to make new game modes when you update your server and add some more arenas :)
Don't update to 1.7.9 if you have the plugin citizens

I know what's your problem. Just add this to the default options for the arena...
- alwaysOpen
- individualWins
This makes the game NEVER to stop at wins or loses and to be joinable at any time. And if this works correctly the individuals wins should make the scores rated by BT. A big hug
(These are just the options, you have to think how to make the player lose when he dies, and win when he kills)

Posted May 7, 2014UPDATE
The wiki should be up soon, there were a couple of needed updates that had to be done but it should be back soon.
For those of you having problems, I will get to them as soon as I can when I get back. But, I am currently on a trip with very very spotty and slow internet. So unfortunately that means that it will be at least a week before I can make any real changes/fixes.
cheers, alkarin
