Hey alkarinv,
I was hoping I could still get a pm for the oitc extension since my players are going crazy once I told them you had fixed it!
Keep up the great work!

Posted Feb 21, 2014I'm having issues with setting region properties. According to the wiki, using wgNoEnter, NoExit, ResetRegion will prevent people from entering or leaving or reset the zone after it's been damaged in battle.
I cannot get any of these commands to work, in game it tells me they do not exist. I've tried adding them manually into the config with no luck also.

Heya Alkarinv !!
Thanks for all the hard work. You rock bud !! :D Loving the arenaparkour btw :P Also, i admit that being able to create custom arenas is amazing. The use of WorldEdit to save on schematics is brilliant. It's such a great series. :D
Just wondering if a fix is coming up for perms on arena signs ? :)
Note : permission set by arena type also using the custom types would be awesome.

Hey Antibes, I created some new messages. On most servers it should auto update to the new ones, but sometimes I guess that isn't happening. You can either update the BattleArena/messages.yml yourself, or easier just delete it and it will re auto create correctly.
@merlingly
I know!! love it too!
@baemboo
Indeed I have a dev version with fixes. I can't link here, but you can go to my ci page which can be found in the title of our irc room.

Posted Feb 19, 2014UPDATE
There is a confirmed bug that changing game/arena options are not showing up until a restart. This doesn't affect old users but is very frustrating for new users setting up their arenas. The problem is being fixed now (thank you MetalGriefer for helping me find and test), I'll be uploading a new Jar soon.

Posted Feb 18, 2014UPDATE
In 3.9.6.2 I introduced a small bug for games with infinite teams of infinite size (aka nTeams: 2+ teamSize: 1+). For these games people were joining the same team by default. I've already fixed this in a version I just uploaded but it's also very fixable by just setting teamSize to something more fixed.

I'll have to think on this one a bit. The simple answer is yes, I changed how teams were handled to be simpler and more robust in the future(barring some initial bugs). It will also allow me to keep track of which team a player is on the from the moment they join (which I couldn't do before as they were just in a queue).
When are you calling those getTeams?
Also, I'm going to be gone for a couple of hours, but why don't you hop onto irc later and we can talk things through to make sure things are working as intended.

Hey, so i grabbed your latest update and some odd tings are happening. This is the code I have in my class that extends
BattleArena.getBAExecutor().join(player, mp, new String[1]);
ArenaTeam t3 = player.getTeam();
List<ArenaTeam> teams2 = arena.getMatch().getTeams();
ArenaTeam t2 = teamc.getTeam(player);
List<ArenaTeam> teams = getTeams();
ArenaTeam t = getTeam(player);
So the problem is that all of the "teams" variables that I have are null after calling join (well, the ones that return lists are simply empty). This seems odd to me because when I step through the code for join a team is created and the player is added. I realize some of the lines above do the same thing, I was just doing testing to see if for some reason one would return me something different.
Get or Make a team for the Player
ArenaTeam t = teamc.getSelfFormedTeam(player);
if (t == null) {
t = TeamController.createTeam(mp, player);}
t starts out as null but the if statement corrects it and now we have a team.
I need the team to track some things in game and with v3.9.5.8.5 this was working. Did you change how to access the players teams?
I have also tried having a second player join to see if I could see the first player's team from the getTeams() call but there are still no teams.
Also, while in game I can clearly see that the players are assigned to teams (they have colors and show up on the scoreboard).
All I really need to know is how do I get the team a player was just assigned to with the new code you release?
I am attaching the debugger to the running server and actually stepping through the code in Eclipse as it's running to view the variables so I know there are no printing issues here or anything.

Thanks Russ, I had forgotten about that, I'll get back on a fix for the always open games.
@Deathbyrussian
Wow, that is really ugly. I think I know what it is and I'll try and get a fix, but it would help if I could see your deathmatchConfig.yml so I can be certain.. if you could send me that here or in private that would be nice!

Posted Feb 17, 2014Hello there. I just set up a DeathMatch arena. I'm sure I just messed with something in the config incorrectly, but I'm not quite sure what. Whenever people type /dm join, this error happens:

Posted Feb 17, 2014@alkarinv
I reported a bug to you on IRC (i'm RuBa on IRC) a while back about scoring issues with long running games. I know you get a lot of msgs so here is a quick refresher on what we talked about.
Basically I have an always open game where players come and go. When everyone logs off and comes back on they can't score via kills (I have CTF as another score mechanic). In short it looks like the event handlers for the player are getting unregistered. I modeled what I have off of your stuff for the kill limit and CTF games and it works fine as long as everyone stays on.
That's what we talked about a week or two ago.
Well... I did some testing and playing around trying to figure out what was going to see if i could find a hack and I noticed a couple things.
- I tried to make my own even listener class and register it myself and use that to detect player kills. That works until player log off. - To take the previous point and extend it further i tried registering the event listener again each time a player logs on but that didn't fix the issue. That's hackish anyway but I was just hoping for a solution. - I then noticed that when any individual logs off they seem to lose their event handler for killing people. - Also, it looks like it thinks that killing a person is a PvE kill for some reason. not sure why that would be but it's what i'm seeing.
If you have any tips on how i might be able to fix this on my end to just hack it together it would be greatly appreciated.
I hope this info helps you with debugging.
