Those config options look correct to me, and I can see that you have the worldguard region at least set. Maybe the worldguard region is not where you think it is? PM me your ip so I can come check things out.
@cotjones
I have something like what you suggest in place. I keep track of players and the players that have left for every match. Version 3.7.4.1+ should handle this better now, but I'm sure there will be some issues for things I didnt think of. So try it out.
You can run simultaneous events, ffa, dm, tourneys, all can be run at the same time.
If you are talking about simulatenous events for 1 type, like 3 ffas running at once, you will need at least 2 arenas for that event type. The only restriction is that you can't have more than 1 Event in the "Open" stage. That way when a player types, /ffa join, there is only one event they can go to. I can't think of a reason to have 2 ffas both in the open stage, it just makes it confusing for the players which event to join. But if you really want something like this let me know.

Posted Nov 19, 2012Hey alkarinv!
Thanks again for all your help! I have one other issue to report that could use some improvement. This is again when i'm using the paintball extension.
When I have an EPaintball even started and waiting for players to join. If a player joins the event and then leaves or logs off, the even gets cancelled saying there is not enough players.
Also its still not really possible to leave a match. Or If you do, lets say while in the waiting room, you can't rejoin that match. Seems like in the waiting room, the match attributes should be recalculated on the player leave event as well as the player join event.
In the programming I'd think it would be best to implement 2 lists of players. A currently playing list and a previously playing list for each arena. The currently playing list would disallow commands like joining other arenas and such. While anyone in the defeated list would receive match updates but still be allowed to join another game or event.
Also simultaneously running events would be a huge improvement. Maybe you could borrow the lobby board code from Survival Games.

All of the wins/losses/rating/ top are part of my other plugin BattleTracker which is a database backend that handles stats. It can be configured to just be a backend for BattleArena or any other plugin that wants to use it.
Otherwise you can go into the messages.yml and change the teamshort,teamlong to not have wins/losses/rating.

For the wins and losses you will need my other plugin BattleTracker. It's basically a stats plugin that can be configured to only be a backend for BattleArena or any other plugin that wants to use it.
@Fronix
So the issue is I thought I had automatically updated peoples configs. But the arena type "Versus" no longer exists. so if you have arenas using that you will have to change them.
Then go into the config.yml and change
to
arena type: arenaSorry about this. I almost never do changes that make a person change up their config like this.

We're having an issue where if you join an arena, it never starts the game (Waiting for a free arena) but, no arenas are occupied even when doing /arena status <arenaName>.

Fixed that error, minecraft somehow made a block that was of type sign, but wasn't a sign. Strange... but sometimes minecraft is strange. Anyway it's now checked for and fixed.
I'll fix the display messages for the queues, It should be returning the number of players that could join in that match.

Posted Nov 17, 2012When players do /bg join 5, it seems to be reporting the number of queued players for /bg, not /bg join 5 (As in, /bg join 3 + /bg join 5 players out of 10 players queued) but only starts when 10 players are queued for /bg join 5. Latest version.
EDIT: Unrelated note, got this error, unsure of what caused it: http://privatepaste.com/6d99b6fda9 - I don't think an arena was running at the time (Was a player trying to create a classes sign ?)

@Wool heads, I've never come out of a battleground wearing one, always in my inventory instead. I don't know if it's luck that I was wearing armour every time.
I'll recheck the first bug, I might've (accidentally) squashed it tweaking the config. Something about changing the size of a specific battleground in arenas.yml and changing the size of battlegrounds genericly in config.yml

So I will have to see how your config is setup, but in this case I wouldn't be surprised if I allow you to join a 3v3 when I really shouldn't (like there isn't a proper 3v3 arena set up).
Wool heads!! I was sure this issue was fixed decades ago, but maybe bukkit has changed something recently. I'll find out exactly what's going on.
@rasnyderiii
Thanks for the bug Ras, that's now fixed. I have tested a lot and I think 3.7.3.8+ fixes the 2v some huge number bug.

So another bug report :)
We have /bg configured to be 2v2 by default. If I do /bg join 3, it tells me i'm in the queue for 3v3. However, when the next game begins, I'm in a 2v2 game [The other players did /bg join, not /bg join 3]. The game after that, for some reason, was a 3v2 match. I don't know if 3.7.3.8 fixes this, but we're using 3.7.3.7 currently.
Also, wool heads are coming back :S I'll double check I'm not doing something in the config though.
Thanks again ^^
