Posted Dec 6, 2013Hey alkarinv, It's tara from pwing here.
Everything still works great except for tournaments (of course ) and now the /arena join and /spleef join makes you wait 3 minutes before the game starts.
If I change the timer it ignores it and only goes from the main config timer. So I want to keep the 3 minute timer for my ffa,dm, tower rush arenas.
Thanks again hopefully you can get individual competition config timres working in the future !

Posted Dec 2, 2013@remy99c In the "Competitions" folder you can set the minimal players to start a game in each one of the Config files. Example: nTeams: 2+ teamSize: 1+ will start a game when at least 2 people join.
@JacksonG14 Yes, you can make the teams have a maximum amount of players by using the individual config files in the "Competitions" folder. Example: nTeams: 4 teamSize: 1-10 will start a game with 4 teams with a maximum of 10 people per team.
@PleasantMisha There is a separate config file for Classes in the main battlearena folder. You can add your custom classes there and they will work in the game.
@EliteDesign In the config file for Arena try using nTeams: 2-4 teamSize: 1. This will start a match when 2 people join and allow a maximum of 4 people.
@Peter741852 Go to the Competitions folder. You will see each event has its own config file. In each of those files you will find a "winner" section. That is where you put the prizes. Example: winner: options: [health=20, hunger=20, money=25, enchants]

Posted Dec 1, 2013Can you make it so that there is a onKill in the config? I would like to make my own OITC, and so if someone killed another player, they would get an arrow.

Posted Nov 30, 2013Hey I'm getting this problem, I would like to allow the main arena to have UP TO 4 players, but NO LESS than 2 players to start. However I can't seem to find the proper number to input I tried '2+' but that leads the arena to be joined multiple times by the same person (this causes it to forever glitch out and not be able to start) Maybe an option for NO MORE THAN x players and an option for NO LESS THAN x players for one arena, anyways thanks

Posted Nov 30, 2013I lost hours trying to set "Events" with JoinPhase and "Matches" with Queues just to know that you removed these awsome features :/ (I've read on page 46 of these comments)
It's still possible to do that? I dont want players joining any time they want on some type of Competitions, they should be allowed to /<competition> join only when I run the command /<competition> auto <arena>
If you remember, can you point the latest version with these features? It's necessary for my server. Thank you! Your plugin is awsome.

Posted Nov 15, 2013Is there a way to config the plugin to have "pvp safe time"? Players are complaining that their opponents are able to disconnect and thus leave the battle halfway (before dying) without penatly. Any fix for this?
