Posted Dec 8, 2012I agree with netherfoam, randomly my death match lasts forever when it has a timer, i tried to reproduce by lowering the time limit and teams needed to 2 and couldnt do it.I tried 10 second matches, 30 second matches, 2 minute matches to try to reproduce.. seems its so random... Also my ctf has ended tooo soon a couple of times, when 1 player would score sometimes it ends , instead of 3 flag captures.
Also still forcestartenable: true - is not working, neither is /dm forceStart, however /dm start works Also, disabling arenas don't work for me.
I don't expect you to fix any time soon , I know your not feeling the best hope u get better soon!=)

Not really... you can challenge multiple people to a duel though.
@cabalsasha
You need to give players perms.

I'm having battlegrounds ending too soon or not ending at all (Seemingly at random?) - I don't know how to reproduce it yet, but it's occuring on my custom match types too :| V3.7.7.2, Bukkit build 2492. I'm not much more help than that at the moment though :/. It's occuring for all victory conditions (even timeLimit)
EDIT: Okay, in my tower control plugin, I'm receiving messages for a battleground match (Which don't seem to be changing)... With the tower control message prefix, but the battleground's stats. Some kind of a mix up, probably related to above?
This is after doing a /tc forceStart.
Also, if players queue like /tc join <nameOfArena>, and two players have joined like that, /tc forceStart won't work (Not enough teams queued)
Cheers ^^

So i need to make an option. On the original server I made BattleArena for, there were so many messages I disabled the BattleTracker messages. I'll make them an option.
@Xarniia

Posted Dec 6, 2012By the way, my battletracker isn't working with my arena. There are supposed to be custom death messages but nothing shows up whenever I kill or die.

I listen to PlayerCommandPreprocessEvent, maybe worldguard is being smarter and looking for aliases as well. i'll see if i can too.

I solved my problem using WorldGuard and blocking commands through there. However I'm curious how WorldGuard can block these commands but BattleArena can't.
Are you listening to the PlayerCommandPreprocessEvent or do you have some other solution?

you need to specify respawnWithClass in the onSpawn options.
and yeah, you can let them choose from a sign, or you can give it to them as the default.
