I plan to have heroes support either tomorrow or by sunday, depending.
I'll have options for forcing players to be a particular heroes class or allowing them to be their default class.
I'll need the the items/enchants for each of the heroes classes though, so if you could make me a .yml in the classes.yml form, but with Heroes classes name that would be very useful ! :)

Posted Oct 25, 2012Hi! :P
When do you think you will implement Heroes support (with the force Vanillaclass &vanillaprof classes arena battles) ?

I doubt there will be much trouble honestly. I do some cool things with java itself, but the bukkit code is fairly straightforward.

Posted Oct 25, 2012Sure hope 1.4.2 doesn't break this too much, can't imagine how much work it has to be for devs to constantly update plugins because mojang never cooperates with bukkit so we get an RB in time for release..

There are others, I'll have to make hooks so you can access them though.
For example the one that you can specify the number of deaths is called nDeaths, but I'll need to make it so you can choose somehow.

ok, does it still work with your addons, I only tried it with spleef and it still qued normally for me...
also what about victory conditions? is highest kill the only one? can it be set to 3 kills so effectivly eveyone has 2-3 lives depending on the first to kill three times?

So right now you can't add your own custom events just by changing the config like you did. The main problem is plugins need to register their commands in a file and bukkit loads this only once at startup. So basically, I could read the config just fine, but no one could use your new command.
There are ways to get around it, but it requires overriding private bukkit code. I'll still probably do it because I've always wanted to be able to dynamically create matches/events, but it's not in there quite yet :)
As far as joining arenas. You can specify the arena you want to join.
So say you have Arena1, Arena2, and Arena3.
You can say /arena join Arena3
You can set up signs to join now too. So i'll add in the option of creating a sign that looks like this, right now only the first 2 lines are valid.

Posted Oct 25, 2012Some questions:
- First one: What (if any) other options are available for "victory condition" other than highest kill? [couldnt find an answer on your wiki]
- Next one: Im trying to create a custom arena type...
[i.e. in paintballconfig.yml after the normal
"paintball:
-enable: true
-command: pb" ect...]
I want to make one say "silly dough"
can I just add it under painball... so copy/paste and change paintball to sillydough and pb to sd? I cant seem to get minecraft to see the custom arena type
[EDIT]
I tried adding "type: paintball" that didnt seem to trigger anything either. Again I am trying to get a custom arena like BG, Skirmish, arena, spleef, paintball ect...
I ultimately just want several arenas that you can join "on demand" with out having to cycle through them to play and can then theme them better. so if i only want to play a specific arena I can join that one only like say "/arena join thisone" or maybe you could make that a option in a future update?

I completed an in-depth walkthrough for setting up an arena and explaining the configuration (as best as I know it thus far!). It is uploading now and should be done shortly, I will get the link up here as soon as its finished. You are more than welcome to embed it on this or any page and link/use it as necessary! Ive also included links to many relevant plugins and pages in the description to assist people finding the information they need. I also included a brief match at the end to show people exactly how exciting it is!

That was a typo, sorry, meant to write "/aa alter waitroom 1". Taken from the part of the link you provided "Add a waitroom to your ffa arena. /ffa alter waitroom 1"
Ah, "/arena alter <arenaname> waitroom 1" seemed to do the trick, thanks again :)

otherwise tell me what you are trying to do

So you can either have them inside the arena near where they spawn. Or you can add a waitroom, and then set the secondsTillMatch: to something bigger, like 15 or 20 to give them time to select a class.

Posted Oct 22, 2012I might be a complete idiot for asking this, but what is the purpose of the Class Signs. I've set up an arena, but when joining, there's no time to click any sign. What I imagined was a pre-game lobby where people can choose a class and then click a ready button or something. I'm probably just missing something :p

The reload right now does seem to be glitchy. If I reload the plugin it keeps arenas that are not active in the "in use" state. Maybe the reload command should check arena states after the reload? (Also tried using PluginManager to do a reload, as well as an unload then loading back in, BA didn't like either!)
If you do consider implementing the /join <gametype> as an alternative permission structure Im positive I'm not the only one who will be grateful! Maybe adding it along side the current commands and allowing either set to be enabled through the BA config?
I'm aiming to get a video done covering the basic implementation of an initial arena and modification of that gametype to suit tonight. I'll have a link here when im finished!
Thanks my friend! :)

Good comment about the joins. I probably won't get rid of the ./pb join, but I can see why the other makes a lot of sense, I almost did it this way when I started.
Any tutorials are more than welcome!! The basic features are easy to use, but I feel like people can get swamped quickly with the more advanced functions... it also doesn't help that the reload command is a bit glitchy at the moment( code looks right, but obviously something is going on).
