Ugh, can you paste the error for me so I can fix.
@rnoa
I have a fix for the Tracking, I'll be releasing it tonight.
For tourneys, is there any error? otherwise I'll just try locally.
I'll also check the dm messages.

Posted May 24, 2013Hi alkarinv! I have problems with winner announcements...:( Running on the newest version the winner still doesn't get announced in dm... Messages.yml is the same and it does everything else except announcing the winner. And also, BattleTracker is sending announcements from arena matches and events, but it didn't do it earlier. Can't figure out what's wrong. Please help!

Posted May 23, 2013Strike that, I figured it out finally. However, our server seems to have a problem. We use Essentials and people can still /arena join from jail. How can we avoid this? Thanks!

Here's another idea: make a spawn room within your arena. Players spawn in the spawn room, and then choose any one of 8 iron doors to exit from, in different directions.
Then if someone wants to spawn kill, they only have a 1-in-8 chance of picking the right door to camp whereas players have a 7-in-8 chance of escaping the spawn zone unharmed.
The iron doors would only be able to be opened from the inside, by pressure plate, so no spawn-campers could get into the safe spawn-room.

Could you catch me on irc tomorrow? pm me your ip so I can come on and check.
@Xephosisdaboss
Same thing, try to get me on irc so we can talk? pm me your ip please too.
@jack588
You can't make a region on a spawnpoint, but a good way to prevent this is inside of spawn do one or more of the following
onSpawn: options: [invulnerable=3] <- this will make them invulnerable for 3 seconds enchants: - strength:2:3 <- give them strength 2 for 3 seconds - strength:2:3 <- give them haste 2 for 3 secondshonestly just giving them invulnerability should be fine, but if they are really camping you can just keep increasing the buffs.

Alright make sure you have 3.8.8+. Also it looks like I have a bug in my parsing.. I'll change the wiki for now. The format that will work at this moment is the following

Posted May 21, 2013Hi,
Great plugin, could you perhaps let me know where I am going wrong as having issues adding colour to leather armor, getting a parsing issue...(parsing checker passes it so am guessing its the color bit)
eg of what I have done - leather_helm: color=0,0,255 1
thanks

It does work with monster spawns, but the respawn only happens if the monster is dead first. You can't configure what they drop, but that would be really easy, i'll talk to Cronos.
Tourney's aren't working!? i love tournies :( I'll get them back working.
I'll check the interface with battletracker, it obviously is not being attached.

Posted May 21, 2013And When you add monsters spawn on the map, How often do they spawn? Does this work on monster spawns? fs=30 rs=50 1: Can you configure what they drop?
When I do /Tourney , and start it , the teams that win from the first round never go to the 2nd round and it never decalres a winner, while keeping people stuck in a que, unable to join events
Also, Battlearena is announcing deaths from arena deaths and counting them as pvp deaths
