Posted Jan 3, 2013I'm having a very weird bug where players on my server may fall to death but then it states that they die of unknown causes, are killed by mobs, and so on. I have Battle Tracker installed and everything and am wondering if that may be contributing to the glitch? I'm not 100% sure just speculating and figured I would ask :p Is this a known bug at all?

Always a draw eh, I'll check it out for a bug.
@FuSe18
Inside of "onSpawn" you need to put in the option "respawnWithClass".

It also could be placed in enemy base, and you just need to activate it. And whem bomb explode, game ends.

Confused.. that looks like a pex error to me. I send a message to a team that sends it to a ServerChannel which causes Pex, which then crashes.... but I'll make sure I'm catching errors on messages just in case that error propagates back up and breaks something in BA.

oops.. my bad. it is doCommands. I'll update the wiki.
@rbonafied
If people are becoming invisibility it is the bukkit/minecraft teleport invisibility bug. I have a fix already in place. BattleArena/config.yml enableInvisibilityFix: true. I set the default to false because I thought bukkit fixed this... but I guess not.
@jman10923
heh, sorry jman. That and top signs are next up.
@elbel98
That is strange.. looks like it should rotate to me. Can you pm me your ip. I'd like to come on and see, I cant reproduce this locally.

Posted Jan 2, 2013Hey there still can't get it to work so I have made a pastie with my arenas.yml (I know one of the arenas is called ice instead of desert but you get the idea).

Posted Jan 2, 2013Hi,
A couple folks on my server said they were in the arena and teleported there invisibly. We were at version 3.7.8.6. I'm planning to update to 3.7.9 to see if it still happens. By the way, we use the tagapi plugin in addition.

O ok, the bottom says doCommands and that says commands, are they interchangeable?

It sounds interesting, but probably pretty low on the list of new events. But basically its carry a bomb into the enemy base and blow it up?
@GameplayerHD
1) CTF I just released a newer version (hasnt cleared bukkit yet). http://dev.bukkit.org/media/files/661/633/ArenaCTF.jar . I tried with Sync, fix works on his server.
2) Blocking commands while in the queue? I guess I should add that in. But I don't want to just block everything, most of the point of a queue though is to let players carry on with whatever they were doing, mining, etc, until they join.
3) say what? does it just not tell the server? or is it not telling anyone?
4) Never heard of the signs not working.. I'll have to actually see the signs to see why they would be breaking down like that.
I'll definitely hop on to see some of this!!
@elbel98
Nah, so could you pastebin me your arenas.yml. So the maps should be rotating unless

Posted Jan 2, 2013I know this is a very noob like comment but... I am struggling to get map rotation working in the arena gamemode. I have made a map called 'desert' which works fine. So I decided to make another so I created a new one called 'skylands' and started building. However, my maps will not rotate when a new game starts or one ends. Am I forgetting to do something or have I done something wrong?
A reply would be greatly appreciated.
Please let me know if you need any more information.
Thanks

CTF isnt working for me, commented on the ctf page :)
I suggest you take a look for yourself, average of 250 players so bugs gets found faster than normal lol (sorry) xD
If you get time to join, do /mc and choose pvp(your plugin)! Than join a queue and try and join another minigame :p
Thank you, one of the best designed plugins i have seen! :D
