Posted Oct 19, 2012Maybe i am puttin the [dontAnnounce] thing in the wrong place? I did a full restart.
They are joining normal arenas. I found out that the xp isnt lost, it is just invisible, and you can see it if you relog.

did you do /arena reload to reload the config? if that didnt work try an actual reload. Putting the [dontAnnounce] options should work.
Which match type are they joining that they lose levels? Experience for most match types is restored at the end of the match. This has been tested many times so if the config options are correct then it might be some other plugin which isn't playing nicely with BattleArena.
@Xx_atomik_xX
How are the players getting the items? And yeah, I can add an option to prevent throwing, shouldn't be an issue.

Players already get wool heads if the option woolTeams is specified. Check out this link Giving wool heads
Right now the option only comes into effect when there is more than 1 player on a team, I'll be making another option soon to make it so that single players can also have wool teams.
@papand13
That's really not an issue with arenas, but is just another plugin (essentials) giving players an ability that I can't handle ( I don't want to stop players from typing commands after a match is over!!)
But here is an easy fix Clear inventory when a player dies in the arena. That way no items get dropped during an arena match, and you don't have to worry about them warping back.
@papand13
Messages can already be configured to be sent only to arena players. link: Changing who gets announcements

My latest snapshot now has this. I've asked the player that requested the feature to test it. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/30679730/dist/Scavenger.jar

Looking at the Scavenger plugin and seeing what you (probably) want to do. This is probably all you need.
Match match = BattleArena.getBAC().getMatch(ap); /// Check to see if they are in a match, and are still inside fighting if (match != null && match.insideArena(ap)){ }Also I'm adding the option to addPerms in the config so that people fighting in matches can be configured to have different permissions. So if scavengers has perms to ignore that might work as well.

Honestly let me know if you need help. I'm on irc at irc.esper.net, if you want to talk.
EDIT: no that code won't work, but maybe that would be the easiest place to put it. maybe a function like.

There is an API which you can use, along with events that you can listen to just like bukkit events. If you need help on the api let me know, or if something isn't there I can extend it. maybe a function that returns whether a player is in a match/event for example.
Right now you have the following 2 options.
1) Use these commands.
2) Use the bukkit event system and listen for these, where you can get all the competing teams/players
@EventHandler public void onMatchBegin(MatchBeginEvent event){ } @EventHandler public void onMatchFinished(MatchFinishedEvent event){ }3) I can add something in that makes it easier for whatever you want to do

Posted Oct 18, 2012Is there an API I can hook Scavenger to? I want Scavenger to recognize when a player is inside an arena.

Woah, they can keep some items??? which items? and how are they doing this?
Taking items out is a big deal butI haven't heard of it happening in a long time (except with wool heads which I put out a fix for this last week). So I'm really curious how they are able to!

Sorry you're having problems. What are you trying to do? I can probably help figure it out. I'm always looking for ways to make the plugin better and easier.
The /arena reload command I've done my best with, but sometimes a reload/restart is the way to go. But if you are having issues file a ticket, tell me what you tried to do and what happened when it didn't work. I take bugs seriously, but they'll never get fixed if you don't say anything.
As for the signs, I don't think selecting classes can actually cause what you are talking about, but are there any errors in console?
