Posted Apr 10, 2014Is there a way you can change the max health of different classes, if not could you add one please. I know battlenight (Another PVP Plugin) allows you to do it.

Posted Apr 10, 2014I really love this plugin. But i was just wondering if it is possible to make armour coloured for certain classes in the config. Sorry if this question has already been asked but i couldn't find an answer anywhere.

Wiki is now fixed!! and I will be updating with more pictures and hopefully clearer instructions.
@wersty
Making those types of games would be pretty easy but they aren't default in BattleArena. I keep meaning to just make a bunch of these little games but always seem to be focused on core internal stuff.
But for that area one, if you have anything that can type commands when a player enters an area you could make it do
and then it would work right now :)
The inventory switching is actually a client/server bug that can happen with giving items through bukkit... I try to make workarounds for it but it sometimes still occurs. I'll try to figure out yet another way.

Temporary solution would be to make a WorldGuard region?

Posted Apr 9, 2014Sorry for the comment spam, but is there a way to make either a domination game type (where once a player from a team enters an area without the other team present they win)? Or is there a way to make a game type where when a villager is killed the game is over? Can either of these types of games be linked with the number of team lives?
I also noticed a glitch where if you give a player items via the give command (when a kit is selected) the item will appear invisible until clicked/moved in the inventory menu. I've only tried this out with custom splash potions (potions of either and instant damage etc). If you could add these types of potions into the regular game that would be awesome, but I realize that it would be a big project, so I understand of u don't have the time

Yeah, I'll add that in in the release after next.
@wersty
If you have a buy perms system you can do this as BattleArena uses perms for the classes.. but right now no..
@slideroller
I'm fixing the wiki, also will be moving it to another server where I have control to prevent future downtime.

Posted Apr 9, 2014Is there a way to have players buy classes through in game currency? For example, if someone has 25 coins they could buy the wizard class and be able to use that class permanently, but people who haven't bought the class would not be able to use it.

Posted Apr 7, 2014Also, could you add an option to disable item usage in waitrooms? bows and swords aren't too much of a problem as pvp is off, but it is easy to throw potions or use spawn eggs accidentally, especially when clicking the sign to change class again.

Posted Apr 7, 2014Ok, sorry I wasn't too clear the first time, but I've found that if you are in a wait room, and change class after moving items in your inventory, the new items don't always overwrite the items you've moved. So, basically, say I chose a "heavy" class, and got a wood sword, and some steak. I then changed to "archer", but before that moved my sword where my steak should go, and put my steak in some other, unused slot of my inventory. When I change class to archer, there seems to be a possibility that the bow will not overwrite the sword, but all other items given by the "archer" class are given, and the steak is removed. So, if all items are left in their original slot, the new class items are given and the old ones taken away. But, if items are moved outside of their default slot and into a slot that needs to be used by a new item being given, the new item is not always given, and does not replace the old item. Hope this is more helpful, and thanks!

Posted Apr 5, 2014Just wanted to point out a bug I found, if the option to check if items have been dropped or moved etc is disabled, it is possible to preserve certain items when changing class (and not receive the correct items) if the items are moved and placed where the new items should go. Thanks!

Posted Apr 4, 2014Hi! I tried to make a HungerGames arena creating a BA custom game config. This is my HungerGamesConfig.yml http://pastebin.com/mUp0eCkZ I added chests, items and mob respawns according to Wiki, but when the match begins the chests are empty, even though fs is 0.. What did I do wrong?

Try deleting the BattleArena/classes.yml, obviously something didn't load properly. After deleting do a restart and I bet everything is fixed.

So that means that the classes aren't loading correctly, which usually means there is a problem in your yml file. At startup the plugin should give warnings or errors about that when loading, check there and let me know what it says.

Not worth the signals?
But the class signs only work when you are "inside" the arena. They won't do anything if you aren't in.
