"put 'infinite' for a match that never times out" <-- Straight from the wiki. If you learn how to use it, you won't have to wait nearly as long for answers.

Well what exactly do you want? For players to battle until they get bored and leave? Or do you want the arena to be winnable?

I have he is never there when I am. When was the last time you were in contact with him? And could you please look into the issue if it isn't too much trouble? My entire server is based around BattleArena so if I can't run more than one arena at a time without it all messing up, I'm pretty stuck.

Yes - I know how to get the inventories back - that isn't the issue, but thank you for trying to help.
The issue is that they need to automatically leave the arena and have their inventory restored when they log out during a match. It is not ok for them to re-join the server and be in a minigame map (especially if a match is going on).

"Has anyone run multiple arenas at the same time? Do they conflict with each other? I can't have more than one arena running at a time without arenas getting messed up for time and score."
I have not had this issue, but some players have been reporting this. I suggest going on Mirc to talk to alkarin in the evenings :]

Posted Sep 4, 2013Dyrecraft - there is a command to restore inventories if the player loses their items on d/c or lagout.
/ba listInv <playername>
/ba restoreInv <playername> <int>
Usually on my server this doesn't happen often, but maybe a bug has occured in the most recent version of the plugin.
<int> = the integer you get frmo the list , usually 1 is the latest inventory restore.

Posted Sep 4, 2013Anyone else have this? If so how did you fix? Player disconnects or lags out in the middle of an event (ctf, bg, pb, spleef, arena) and when they log back in - they are still in the arena/map but do not have the gear for the event AND do not have their SMP inventory.
The player then must do /arena leave to get their inventory back (which works 75% of the time), and then they also have to do /spawn or /home or *enter command here* to get out of the map.
This isn't a valid solution as the player can relog during another event and then end up in the map with the other players and mess up their game.

Use this: pastebin No one can read that mess, also it just blocks out everyone else's questions. I highly recommend deleting it all and pasting it here instead.

Posted Sep 3, 2013Has anyone run multiple arenas at the same time? Do they conflict with each other? I can't have more than one arena running at a time without arenas getting messed up for time and score.
@DreadedSkull
Answers are all in the wiki. I know for a fact the answer to your question is in there. Back when I first started running servers I used BattleArena without a permissions plugin. I highly recommend you put in the time to learn a permissions plugin though. Very helpful.
