he's been pretty busy today..
Hey if I make a class sign in the CTF lobby when the player dies , how does the game know what class to give the player upon ressurection?
onSpawn: options: [health=20, hunger=20] giveClass: default: gladiator
If I give the class mage to players during the lobby how do I put it in the config or do I?

lol, yeah that's why I haven't told anyone about it. I'll see what I can do on it.
@tarahere81
I just tried /arena disable all, it seems to work fine.
/ffa status: worked fined too.
/dm status and /ctf status: those I'll see if I can update.
I was just in a server where force start was working, ... but I'll look into it. Are you just getting massive errors in the console?? I wonder whats up.

Thanks for the help! It's a lot better but it's still not working correctly lol. The winner is only announced when a player with less than 5 deaths survives. It's basically what I'm hoping for, except players who have already died 5 times are still able to respawn and kill each other until someone with less than 5 deaths survives lol

Posted Dec 5, 2012alkarinv: When I disable arenas with /arena disable all it says they are all disabled but players can still join. For Spleef: matchEnableForceStart: true doesn't work anymore
-/ffa status doesnt show the players in the arena no more - /dm status doesn't show the match time left - /ctf status doesn't show the flag counts

Hey, I have a problem: If there is one game running and another starts there are only Infomessages from the last started game. And if game one is ended, game two ended also.
Could you make the dm runs independed from each other?

Hmm, maybe the onDeath: [respawn] is allowing them to have 1 more life than they should have.
you could try this.
victoryCondtion: nDeaths nDeaths: 5no guarantees on it, but it might work. Let me know if it does :)
also make sure you have the latest version..

That's pretty weird, in my deathmatch I've changed the victory condition to lastmanstanding, and surprisingly I can die 2 times. That means each person in the match has 2 lives. And I thought if that's the way lastmanstanding works, why not just give each person more lives so that the match would last much longer? I'm not sure if this is possible. The reason I didn't use highestkill for the winning condition was because of magicspells (magic mod). Some skills would mess up the score lol

So glad we worked out the problem.
Warning As a warning, the disabled commands needs to have the actual name of the command, not aliases.

Well, lastManStanding should be you can die 1 time. What do you mean 2 times? and what do you mean by 5?

Posted Dec 5, 2012Hello, is it possible to set the respawns to 5 times instead of 2 times during Lastmanstanding? Because 2 times is really too fast for me lol

My players are saying that they can use commands that are disabled in BattleArena config in arenas.
I tried this and It seems to be true, my players can then dupe items by joining doing /spawn puting stuff in chest and then do /arena leave.

The change seems to have worked, thanks :)
The error was caused on my dev server at first (Windows), I never found it on the live server (Ubuntu) though. So, yes, the issue was on a windows server.

Netherfoam do you happen to have a windows server?? There might be an issue with updating windows configs.

I updated the messages.yml. It should have auto updated and put in the new messages, but I guess not in your case.
Here is the new messages.yml. You need to add the new lines underneath "system:". I did this for language support, it wasn't ever supposed to throw errors.

Pretty sure that is it, it's still an issue though. /back is a problem
