I'm in the process of writing something like this in. But for now there isn't really a way to start a match early. You could either make it an event (like Mortalsinn suggested) (which usually can have arbitrary numbers of players), or you could make the teamSize: 1-5, and put it in a waitroom. If that's the case then the match will start with 2 players, but more could join until 15 seconds before the match starts.

you could do this if you made your match an event. in your arena config under that specific arena put in "isEvent: True" no quotations. This will allow it to act like the default automated events with auto starting, announcing etc...Just remember to add it to your Battle Arena Scheduler via /bas commands

When you /bg reload, players who were in the queue have to relog before being able to join a battleground again (It says they're in the queue but they're not). Shouldn't be too hard to fix :)
Thanks ^^

Posted Nov 14, 2012Is there a way to start a match early without admin intervention? For example, I have an Arena setup with 2 teams, 5 players on each team. Would the players be able to start it somehow if it was like 3v2? Without waiting for all 5 slots on each team to fill up? Thanks!

Strange, I'll make sure it's connecting to disguise craft. Obviously disguises are broken if it isn't checking correctly.

It seems to be failing to detect DisguiseCraft. Anyone else see this?

There seems to be a problem when players leave the server after joining an arena. Sometimes the arena that they were playing in just stops working, it starts working after a few minutes but maybe there is something going on there?

for the ranking you need to have BattleTracker, which can be configured to be strictly a database backend for BattleArena.
The faction power loss is something I'll be hooking into soon. In the meantime you need to make those arena areas faction warzones ( i think thats the term ), so that people dont lose power.

Is it possible to turn off the loss of faction power on death in the arena? Both in spleef and the normal battlething?
Also, ranking doesn't seem to work for me. I haven't found any info on how to fix this. When I type /arena rank it says "There is no tracking for a Arena". Thanks

Sorry Ras, working on it. Some other people have had success with just recreating the arenas, but I know that's annoying and frustrating.

Posted Nov 13, 2012yay ! Hey what's wrong with battlecraft it is always down? I wanted to ask the author about the plug in he is making , to allow players to only have a 10 percent change to drop an item in pvp ... sounds very interesting!

Yay! I know someone else that has used the custom events just fine, I'll work out whats the issue.
@netherfoam
I changed the queueing system, it works locally and in most cases, but there is some case I obviously missed because 1v2billion is not right ;)
I'll be looking into these two issues today. Apologies

Posted Nov 13, 2012I don't have any details, but I've been getting:
You have joined the queue for the 1v2147483645
for my 2v2 arena, it used to work in the older versions.
Am I doing something wrong / is this a known bug / a fix?
