So right now you can't make a deathmatch (which is an event) into a match (which has a queue). I'll be making those interchangeable later.
Here are your options

Posted Dec 26, 2012What about the quing for deathmatch so you don't have to open a event and people can just join it like in CTF with the option, arena, and paintball?

The removing the wool team helmet, I had that functionality in, but for some reason took it out. It will be put back in with the new version I'll try to release tonight.
@ProPvP2
You can change the default match time for everything by changing.
If you just want to change it for ffa, then add in the option
Example
freeForAll enabled: true matchTime: 180-

Posted Dec 26, 2012Is it possible to make it so people can't take off their color wool heads because it kept on happening in deathmatch and capture the flag. Also is there a way to give deathmatch a queing system?

So I actually added some code to factions which they recently accepted. So in the newest factions I will be able to disable the power loss. I just need to hook into it now in BattleArena.
Until that time(probably this weekend) the best you can do is create a warzone around the area and set the warzone to not lose power when they die.
@doggant29
yeah, I hated the concept of restoring regions by myself when something like worldedit/worldguard is so popular and does those things usually so well. I've heard about dispensor problems though, and now this. So maybe I should think about doing the wg restore then coming in afterwards and fixing the small bugs.

Oh right, I forgot you use the WG mechanics to restore. But sadly I don't. WG is the best bet I think. :)

Hmm, I'll blame worldguard I guess. Do you know of a plugin that restores things better?
