Posted Jun 1, 2014Hi,
Could you add more events for config like:
onBlockBreak{itemname}
onBlockHit{itemname}
onBlockPlace{itemname}
onBlockTouch{itemname} (Move on the block/step on it/move thru it)
onMobKill{mobname} (zombie, skeleton, endeman and etc.)
onPlayerKill
onItemPick{itemname}
And options:
givePoint (Like special gift)
removePoint
removeLive
addLive
removeBlock (remove the block ; works only in onBlockHit/Place/Touch)
Add custom scoreboard for config like:
scoreboardName: BattleGround
options:
- teamColor
- removeNameOnDeath
scoreboard:
- {TimeLeft}s left
- {fillPlayers} {playerLivesLeft}
-
- Lives: {ownLives}
-
- &6Money: {vaultMoney}
Other options for scoreboard: (Ideas)
- {fillTeams}
- {teamLivesLeft}
- {ownTeamLives}
- {ownkills}
- {owndeaths}
For parkourarena
- {reachedCheckPoint}
on playerLivesLeft and teamLivesLeft it will show the current line player lives.
You can add and teams sizes like 2 vs 3 and etc.

Ok, Sadly I have another majour problem with Battlearena causing server crashes, I have been getting a permgen error ive been battle-ling with my host about, and most of the time when I see one of these permgen errors its always tied to battlearena crashing everything, can you please read this latest crash log. I know that permgen is set by the host, and its much higher than the default size. http://pastebin.com/CHdkf7uZ

This lag is because of scoreboards, I had this too on spigot 1.7.9 Disable the scoreboards for now, or update spigot to see if this is no longer laggy

Hey, can we get in the next update a certain amount of players vs a certain amount of players? Ex. 3v1 5v2 6v4 instead of usually equal numbers of people on the teams

Posted May 28, 2014Ive been testing the bug that Ive been having, it seems that the plugin isn't registering any projectiles, even arrows, as kills. And it seems to also allow me to hit my own team mates with projectiles.

I can confirm this. It only happens when the first player joins, after that it works fine. However, it happens every time a new match is started. Edit: I would like to add that we're also running the spigot 1.7.9 R0.2 version. And that it does not generate an error in the console.

Posted May 27, 2014Hello all! I need help with the current 'config.yml'. When I create a sign for "skirmish" or any other game mode. It says this.. "You do not have the join requirements" What does that mean^ And how do I solve it.. I can do an arena battle with myself and one other player. I would like to know how to create other game modes such as skirmish and FFA. Any help would be much appreciated. Thankyou :)

Thanks I fixed it but now I have another problem that in the deathmatch when the player get the first point, none can get more points, so there is just one point when you kill someone you don't get more points. Any solution?

Can you tell me the exact error? And what other plugins are you using? There are a couple of other plugins that handle scoreboards incorrectly and will cause crashes with ANY plugin that also use scoreboard (not just BattleArena), for example NameTagEdit. I'm not sure if that's what's going on with you, but putting it out as a possibility.
But. BattleArena/config.yml has a config option to get rid of scoreboards.

Yes, I'll update the wiki soon with a guide on how to do that and link it here.
