Posted Dec 1, 2012Just wondering and no pressure :) When do you think battlearena will have announcements when someone joins a queue?
One other question - Is it possible to have spectator sections for an arena? If so, can you point me in the right direction? Can each arena have its own spectator section and can a person pick which arena to see?

Yeah, I'm going to be putting this in. I personally like the automatic timers that start, but some people really like the block idea.
@netherfoam
Change classes after dropping? well, I suppose I could put an option in. But do you really want them cherry picking the best items from each class? All they need to do is switch, drop the good gear on the ground, then switch again.

Posted Nov 30, 2012Would it be possible to add a ready system like mobarena has? Where the match will start once all the players right click a designated block?

Sure, make sure you are Op, or have "arena.admin" perms. If you don't the sign will not be created.
Otherwise, PM me your ip so I can come on and help.

Posted Nov 29, 2012@alkarinv,
I gotta tell you what a great set of plugins these are (battlearena, spleefarena). My kids love them. You've clearly put a ton of effort into it. I also like how responsive you are to these posts.

Yes, every Arena is an instance, and gets created when the plugin loads. Every arena has an "ArenaType" <- skirmish, bg, col,etc. So you can have multiple arenas of any "ArenaType".
One instance of an arena does not represent multiple maps.

In your API, a single Arena map is an instance of an Arena. A group of maps (Eg a game type like /bg) is a group of Arena's. Is this correct?
Or, does one instance of an Arena represent a group of maps?

It doesn't have custom spout support, but it should work fine with spout, if it doesn't let me know and I can figure things out.
