Alright, I see. So there are a couple of ways to do this.
Basically you can choose when they enter. I will be making an option to "hold" or "freeze" a player, or maybe just "leash" them to a small area, but that option is not inside yet.

Sorry for the lack of description. I'm speaking of once you set up the arena and open it for players. For instance, if I have an arena with 10 players 2 teams of 5 each. When they type /join the arena it places them at the spawn point. However, even before the match starts they are free to run around. I was hoping of a way to prevent players from running around before the match start. So have them /join, be stuck, and then when match starts have them able to run freely around. This goes for the majority of the arenas that I have tried, paintball, battle, spleef. I haven't got around to trying capture the flag yet. :D
Merry Christmas!

The auto start time should be configurable inside config.yml. eventCountdownTime ( for events).
For the server announcement, check out eventAnnouncements. By default it should announce onOpen, and during intervals until it starts.
@ProPvP2
You'll have to be a bit more specific... but it should be create the arena (see the wiki), then type
@imaapseudonym
What do you mean by lock people in spawn? like dont let them leave the world spawn until a round?
@HitmanPL47
Ugh, yeah I'll look into that and see why it's happening.

Posted Dec 24, 2012The one thing I wish I could do is lock people in spawn until the round officially starts. Are there any ways of doing this outside of redstone circuitry tied to an admin that has to start it?

Ah, stupid errors on my part. Thanks for finding those! But the enchantments work fine once you choose your class in the lobby, but you dont get them when you spawn in the arena.
Also, I have players permission to open a ffa by joining, but how would you reduce the auto-start time? It's at 10 minutes for me and it's not fun to sit around for 10 minutes. Is it possible to announce to the server when the start it as well?

Enchantments seem buggy for me too, but I haven't played around enough to confirm if its a bug. (The default settings seem to be at 120 seconds for the player enchant but only seem to last for like 3 seconds)

Yeah would be cool to be able to use full red leather armour instead of the head block. :D
Also.. would it be possible to define a min player count and max? For example, the forcearena timer would start when a certain minimum is met, rather than just the default 2.
Merry Christmas :)

Yeah, so the next version of BattleArena will give better errors for effects and inventory.
Effect classes.gladiator.enchants.slowness:1:900 could not be parsed in classes.ym classes.monk.items couldnt parse item {wooden_sword=sharp:5 1} classes.demolitionist.items couldnt parse item {iron_help=blastprot:2 1} Effect classes.barbarian.enchants.slowness:2:60 could not be parsed in config.yml
so. slowness isnt actually a bukkit potion effect... in bukkit its called "slow". I added a fix for this in the next version as well. but for now change those enchants to "slow".
also for testing use this.

It's probably just another small error that I've made, but I've looked it all over... Heres the classes.yml: http://pastebin.com/X939aGgA and my server isn't whitelisted anymore, here's the ip: Node8.Minecrafted.net:25571

you can do that to some extent. You can do leather_helmet:30. but I don't know if it will do the colored armor that you want.. I will be adding in colored leather though, i like that.

- gold_sword: fire:1 - bow: power:2, - diamond _sword: sharp:2 - arrows: 32 (some i used 64 instead of 32) - bow: flame power:3 - diamond_boots prot:4 proj:1 fire:1
After looking at all of the items, I feel that I may not be formatting the lines quite right. Above is the format that I used.

Probably just fix the names of the items (sometimes the default names can be strange), or just use the item ids (those are always the same). Which items aren't parsing?
