Posted Jul 27, 2013Hello, The new version of Battlearena is really bugged, orders "/bad listinv" and "/bad restoreinv" no longer work. The arenas are also affected, the capture the flag, for example, create an indefinite number of groups instead of two teams entered in the configuration, the arena does not work anymore as we do not come before the game but the arena is very problematic to launch a comnbat especially when you have a lot of arenas. Also what is the inventory restoration can recover some items classes this is still a problem, and effects that do not come off at the end of the fighting :/ I'm going back under Battlearena 1.5.2 waiting for the moment because it paralyzes an important part of my server.

I am also experiencing the same issue now. After a match or two is finished everything seems to break.
Also the number of players playing issue is back. Where the signs are not updating a match finishing.

Posted Jul 25, 2013I've used this plugin before and I thought I knew what I was doing. I created a new arena type called PvPArena and it all seems to work fine. The thing is that the respawn doesn't work. I know I'm most likely just doing something wrong so could someone create a custom game type with a respawn onDeath? If you do could you send me the config? Finally, here is my config for PvPArenaConfig.yml
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!

Posted Jul 25, 2013I'm getting an error when someone leaves the server unexpectedly (eg. gets kicked or crashes) in the middle of an arena. This causes the players inventory to be reset, not only for the world they are on, but for all other worlds as well. I am using Multiverse. Error log: http://pastebin.com/a2BBXnnR

If you want to use Permission nodes to allocate groups to donor ranks, use "arena.class.use.<classname>", adding to your permission plugin that handles your groups. For allowing people to join at any time, I believe this is what you need to add under "onJoin": onJoin: options: [alwaysJoin]
