Hey, take a step away from the keyboard or check out the source code and realise exactly how big of a project this is.

Then code a better one in your spare time for free to have noobs whinge it doesn't work.

I would make a video tutorial,if this plugin wasn't such crap! Every time I chose any classes,the server would crash horribly.

The /battle reload doesn't actually reload the files properly and I can barely get this to work the way I want it half the time.

I've never really made a video tutorial, but I can see how that would be helpful! Maybe if I have some time over the weekend, or you can make one yourself :), if it's good I can make a tutorials page and link it there!

I'll try to fix as soon as I can, once the fix is in, it will work for all plugins that use BattleArena (including spleef)

So you can adjust the y offset of the teleport by changing it inside of the config.yml. Maybe in your case change it to 0. The other option is to make the roof a bit higher. The minecraft teleports have always been a bit glitchy as the client has a say in the actual final position (not the server alone). This is why sometimes teleporting to the same place puts you in the ground, or up in the air.

@Xx_atomik_xX

I thought that had been fixed, but obviously not. Noted as a bug, I'll put up a new version with a fix soon.

That would be awesome! I think many people are using Heroes nowadays so ill think you will make a lot of people happy with this.

It would require adding in Heroes support (and probably another config option), but I think I can manage that. I'll put it on the list of enhancements at the very least!

Hey alkarinv I love your plugin! Its the best pvp plugin out there.

Would it be possible to add an option to set a certain (heroes) Vanilla class before a arena match starts and changes it back after the fight?

I saw this was possible in this plugin: http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/heromatchmaking/

And i think it would be cool to have it in this one. :P

Just an idea though. Think it would be cool since i have heroes and some people complain about the classes and they want vanilla battles.

So I put in a wool teams bug with version 3.6.9.4, it's now fixed in 3.6.9.6. All spawning issues should be fixed in that version as well.

It's true that if they configured it they might want it. So I can do

make a new config option.. something like forceWoolTeams
change the option of woolTeams to mean woolTeams all the time.

It looks like all my teams are getting white wool heads now? :S I'm trying to figure out whats going on, but in a default install i'm getting no wool team heads :|

EDIT: Nevermind, I figured out the no heads part.. Just working on the white wool part now...

Suggestion => If teams are 1 player only, eg 1v1v1v1, and woolTeams are specified in the config, I know it's 'smart' to not give woolTeams, but there might be a reason someone specified woolTeams? - Just a thought.

@LordKainzo

Hey Kainzo, for the ranking system you need BattleTracker which is a standalone plugin that you can configure to be strictly a backend db for BattleArena.

If you want to skip it altogether but are annoyed with the 0's(I would be) then you can open up the messages.yml and alter the teamlong and teamshort sections. In there get rid of the {wins}, {losses}, and {ranking} so that it doesn't every show the rankings/stats again.

EDIT: Oh, i see you caught that. Yeah like I said if that annoys you, you can always just change the messages.yml so that it looks better.

is the ELO system something custom? I see (0) at the end of my name on my test server but when I win/lose it doesnt seem to change.

ah, I see http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/battletracker is needed - I'll throw that in. Bleh!

If they drop an item they shouldn't be able to reselect a class, if they can it's a bug. Maybe you can send me your classes.yml? I can't get this to work on my server.

I'll add the ability to add enchanted items, will be out today.

Can I stop players changing classes until they respawn? (Or stop them dropping items etc) because players can:

Select their class
Give their teammate their items
Reselect their class
Give their teammate their items again
Reselect their class
Rinse and repeat

Alright looking at the code now, looks like what I said is false about BattleTracker. You would have to turn off the showBukkitDeathMessages for it to work right now (which is not what I had planned). So right now it only turns off the messages if

showBukkitDeathMessages: false # turn on and off normal bukkit death messages sendPVPDeathMessages: true # send Messages on PvP deaths

or if both are false. I need to change that for sure.

Basically I need to update BattleTracker, and probably BattleArena :(
