Someone else reported this too, I can't replicate it but I'll see if I can find whatever is causing it to happen on some servers and get in a fix hopefully tomorrow. In the meantime you can turn off woolTeams if it's a large issue. (just remove woolTeams from the options).
@navbarry
That should schedule the events every 30 minutes.. (just realize that it's based off of server ticks so could be affected by lag). If you want something that is exact, like exactly every half hour my other plugin BattleScheduler that uses cron is very exact.
@tarahere81
Thanks for replying :)

Posted Nov 12, 2012it looks right however i am not positive ;D
also : Try
onServerStart: [startContinuous]
if you want the scheduler to run on its on on server restart instead of having to do /bas start after a restart =)

Posted Nov 12, 2012Ty. I added my events to the list and changed the time between events to 1800 seconds? Can you see if my config for this is right. http://pastebin.com/ZELe2ucp

Posted Nov 12, 2012Try here navbarry:
https://github.com/alkarinv/BattleArena/wiki/Scheduling-events
(It will announce the event is open when you do that in the config if you specify the delay you want.)
eventCountdownTime: 180
(How long before announcing an automated event and its start in seconds)
eventCountdownInterval: 120
How often will it announce a reminder that its open and you can join in seconds
allowPlayerCreation: true

Posted Nov 12, 2012Ty for the info. Do you have a feature where you can schedule events automatically? For example creating a deathmatch every hour?

There are a couple of advantages, the queueing system is better. For example you can join a 1v1v1v1 match, but only when 3 other people join will you get teleported in. That way you can be cruising about the world, doing your thing and not be stuck in a waitroom waiting for players. This is very helpful if you want a 4v4v4v4 match or something large.
I have support that tracks wins/losses/ranking for all matches/events. So players can see their rank and do things like /arena top 20.
Any of my matches, events can have any number of teams, with any number of players.. 1v1, or 3v3v3, or whatever you want.
I have a single bracketed elimination tournaments. so you can have elimination spleef tournaments, or paintball, or arena.
I have a better inventory storing system, and in cases of crashes I have an inventory recovery system.
You can create your own custom matches/events in mine. So if you wanted an event called hunger games (not included). You could create a new hunger games match just by creating it in the config (usually you just copy the template that's closest to what you want then change the name, and command to hungerGames). You can also customize these messages, so the new event could look nothing like BattleArena.
I believe my plugin is faster as well and has heroes integration.
Theres probably some advantages as well, but those are what I can think of off the top of my head. PVPArena is obviously a good plugin though, not going to say bad things about it, I just happen to think mine is better and more customizable.

I'll talk to you today on vent about all of this, see if I can find the problem with what's going on with your server.
@kangy7
Ok,well just use [dontannounce] so that it stops the messages to the server and I'll make sure that the joined players get messages about people joining ( or at least have an option for it).

Posted Nov 12, 2012@alkarinv Yes. It's survival server, the PVP is only for fun. Then we want it only for people that have joined to get the message, not in globally chat. We have tekhode bukkit chatmanager.

My server has not crashed at all, just played an arena match with my players and it works very well. Also using spleef and that works well too. I'm using 3.7.3
@alkarinv
Could the bukkit handle bug be the reason my QuakeArena addon does not send messages upon using certain weapons?
@alkarinv
Also about the announcements, It would have an option to only announce to the players that are actually going to play. We have very much players and It's going to be very annoying having messages spamming the chat.
