Posted Oct 15, 2012showBukkitDeathMessages: true # turn on and off normal bukkit death messages
sendPVPDeathMessages: false # send Messages on PvP deaths
### Track Player vs Player stats
trackPvP: false
### Track Player vs Environment stats
trackPvE: false
^ That is my current config. If I turn everything to false will it kill all death messages everywhere?

Well if you are using BattleTracker they won't show up, so that's an easy fix, plus you get player rankings and can do things like /dm top to see the best dm players. You are talking about the default bukkit messages right?
Otherwise I'll have to code something similar up for BattleArena.

Posted Oct 15, 2012Is there a way to stop death messages in death match rounds? We get upwards of 20-30 people in there and it gets really crazy with the death spam lol. Is there a way to silence it for DM? Thank you much!!

It keeps of stats for pvp and pve if the options are turned on.
It also keeps track of spleef, paintball, arenas, and any other plugin that wants to use it.

For wins/losses you will need to download BattleTracker. That does all the pvp stats.

ahh, didn't expect that. Yeah I can make that change, they will need to join and be in the same world.
You can already make a wait room for matches/events. Check this out and tell me if you are still having trouble! https://github.com/alkarinv/BattleArena/wiki/Adding-wait-rooms

Posted Oct 13, 2012Could you make it so the sameWorld requirement stayed in affect till the match starts? People can join in that world, then leave the world and still be in the queue. A forced waiting lobby could be an option, if that is possible.

glad the teleport invis went away! I've got no explanation either... but so it is.
The leave/disconnect I will be attempting to fix tomorrow (it's been a rough weekend as there is a 3 day music festival I've been going to). But should be able to get to it in the morning.

Posted Oct 13, 2012Thank you for the quick responses !!! for some reason the teleport bug has stopped.. No idea why ... very strange but so far its gone all day today from what i could see.
However, that no winner bug, happens even when players get disconnected, Not only when they type /ffa leave .

What do you want to do? I'll try and lead you through.
The tutorials are a work in progress, I try to flesh them out as people have trouble.
Luckily all the players have to do is join, no complications there.

Posted Oct 13, 2012Most confusing plugin ever. The tutorials do not have enough details to them. They are really only command list.

I had forgotten the configuration section for tourney's in the previous version. It won't affect anything except you won't be able to run tourney commands. you can put this at the end of the config.yml to fix that error.
tourney: enabled: true command: tourneyWhat's your ip? or teamspeak? or you can find me on battleplugins on irc.esper.net. We should talk b/c I feel like I don't understand the real issue but I'm sure its an easy fix.

No errors in the console. Which config would you like to see? I have used the default for the arena.
EDIT: Actually I do get this error but I ignore it. I figured I should mention it
It's only cause I have not setup any tourneys yet

The 1 person left and no winner is definitely a bug, I'm going to try and squash it this weekend as I've heard multiple people report this. It has something to do with people leaving and not being counted as gone.
As for the invisibility, FreeForAll and Arena both use the same teleport code (which includes the invisibility fix), so it should work or not work for either. How often does it happen inside of an FFA? Maybe I can try some other workaround to fix the invis (btw this is the most annoying minecraft/bukkit bug ever, and I hope they it soon).

Woot! another bug!
Bugs will be attempted to be fixed this weekend( a little hard because there is a music festival in town)
