That looks right, but now you can get ride of the giveClass on prestart (since onSpawn captures them teleporting in too). Also it's hard to tell from here, but make sure you are using no tabs and the correct indentation. YAML files HATE tabs and bad spacing.

so where you have onPrestart: giveClass: ...
You need to move that giveClass down into "onSpawn:"
onPrestart happens once. onSpawn happens whenever they spawn in the arena.

I don't really know what you mean. I've done a lot of profiling and the plugin takes almost 0 cpu. It was even used on the minecon server edition with 5+ matches with 50+ people in the matches at a time with almost no effect on cpu.
Maybe its conflicting with another plugin?

So I can't reproduce this, I've been trying but no luck. What's strange is that it is definitely an error but I catch it just so that I can print out the location of the error and then continue on like normal. What that means is it shouldn't do anything but print a few lines and cancel the command, it certainly shouldn't stop the server. Let me know when you are on, I'll pm you my skype info.

I mean that really looks right. You can try using the most recent version. Otherwise I need to be online at the same time so we can figure this out.

Alright, I'll see if I can figure out what's not playing nicely with heroes.
Sorry about this.

Posted Nov 21, 2012@Alkarin with the latest build - everyone is dying in one shot from skills ( someone said they spawn at 20 hp )
I've tested this myself - so something in the Heroes integration isn't right. I have to travel for the next 4-6+ hrs so I wont be available.

Usually if an arena doesn't get saved it's because there was either an error in the console, or the world was bad for some reason. I hopped online but you weren't there, but if you could give me "arena.admin" perms I could try to figure it out.
Also see if any errors were on console and paste them into pastebin.

You make good points. I'm on board. It will play fine with my current join commands, I'll just add in 1 more join command that is "/<cmd> join <arena name>". That might be more than a players want to type.. but if they click a sign that would be more intuitive.

Yes in most cases you are correct, having 2 arenas open is going to be pointless. The reason you might want it is so you can choose the arena you play in.
Currently the only way of playing a specific arena is just to play until it cycles to it.
....Just something to think of down the line. Perhaps an easy way to do it would be to dynamically create multiple schedules to run independent of one another by naming them at creation. Something like /bas create <Schedule name>. Though that doesn't seem like it would play nice with your /join command.
The reason I'd like to see something like this is that some maps might be more appropriate for less players and some for more. For example, one of my maps has min. 2 players and the other min 4. If 2 players want to play but the map is currently on the 4 player map they just have to wait till time runs out and the match cancels before moving onto the next.
Thanks again for all your help and support you're doing a great job with this
