Posted May 2, 2013Sorry, sir, my apologies! I had to update ArenaCTF and TagAPI and now everything is working perfectly. It was confusing because the console clearly stated that BattleArena wasn't up to date...it meant ArenaCTF though... Thank you all for your quick response! Have a nice weekend!

I run a similar setup.
Look into CraftIRC and and Herochat. You can then create an Arenas channel that is broadcast to all of your servers.

Posted May 2, 2013Completely unrelated to 1.5.2 or anything else that's been mentioned before...
FYI, I have already posted a very similar post on the Bungee forums.
And also, for those of you who don't know... Bungee is the proxy that many server ops use to interconnect several independent servers and make it appear to be 1 giant server. I have 4 servers all connected with Bungee right now.... On to the question...
Here's what I want to be able to do:
One of my servers (Server #3) is my "arenas" server. It has 5 Hunger Games arenas, and I am adding 2 spleef arenas and 3 CTF arenas to it. I have BattleArena working on my other servers, so I want to use it for the Spleef and CTF here as well.
I have a regular playerbase of 10-20 on each of my other 2 servers, and they want to play arenas at times. I don't want the arenas in those servers because the memory overhead was pushing me past my allowable resource usage (as I get bigger, I'll increase resources)...
I want the arenas being advertised every 15 minutes (which is happening without an issue with the /BAS command). However, they only get advertised on the main server. I want them to be simul-advertised on ALL the servers at once.
I have a Bungee Announcer, which announces messages to all servers at once, but nothing to catch when the BattleArena API throws out the messages, etc.
What I THINK I need, is a program that acts as a trigger program to catch the announcements, and then Bungee Broadcast them to all the servers. I can handle the Broadcasting part, I just need to have a plugin that will trigger based on the announcement on the arena server, and allow me to send a CUSTOM command based on that trigger.
OR, it would be ideal if BattleArena was somewhat set up with some Bungee hooks to allow a seemless sharing of data.
I don't care about having people /JOIN from the remote servers... I'll train the players to do a /SERVER 3 command first, then join up once on the correct server.
I'm looking for a very basic... trigger of sorts... or a seemless integration with Bungee ;) Anyone have suggestions?

Posted May 2, 2013Hi Alkarinv! Please update to minecraft 1.5.2... I only need this plugin updated (and it is one of the major ones on my server) to update my craftbukkit as well. I updated first but the console gave an error telling me BattleArena is not up to date so I had to degrade it again... I know, you are doing a great job, thank you!

Posted May 2, 2013Hey Alk,
Your friendly neighborhood squeaky wheel here again ;)
Just updated to the 1.5.2 client and CraftBukkit 1.5.2-R0.1 (Build 2765) and now when I start up I get a bunch of severe errors in the console that seem to be related to BattleArena.
The 1.5.2-R0.1 is a dev build so it may be something that needs to get tuned in Bukkit, but I thought I'd post it here just in case they've changed their API and plugins need to conform to the new system.
Here's the error output:
http://pastebin.com/Ef819kxy
In case it helps, everything seems to work except the Parkour checkpoints and victory points are no longer working.
Also the same bugs as before still exist -- no scoreboard in any of the gamemodes except for ArenaParkour and ArenaSpleef, and even in ArenaParkour the per-arena rewards aren't working even though the "winners:" section in areans.yml is identical to the "winners:" section in ParkourConfig.yml but with different amounts of gems.
I'll be in and out today but I'll be home later tonight if you need any help with live testing.

Posted May 1, 2013Hi Alkarin,
I think something may have gotten broken in the new BattleArena.jar all of my BattleArena competitions show no scoreboard now.
Both my ArenaParkour game modes are working with scoreboards.
My ArenaSpleef is working with scoreboard.
None of the BattleArena competitions are working with scoreboard (though the games run fine)
No console errors, various different competition configs.

Posted May 1, 2013@soulscapex:
If you're using essentials you can use this command to specifically turn fly mode off:
/fly off
So with BattleArena you can set your config to run this command at the onStart phase:
onStart:
options: []
doCommands:
- fly off player
That will cause BattleArena to issue the command:
/fly off <player>
...where <player> will be replaced with the name of each player entering the arena.

Posted May 1, 2013maybe you can even prevent actual deathes, so players will not see death screen but will immediately respawn?

Yes it can, really just tweak any of the games to do what you want. If you post here about what you want and whats not working, then can get you more specifics.
@rsod
I can probably put in a timer for reconnections, wouldn't be that hard. Thats what I already do so people don't sit in the respawn screen forever.
@TheHoodmaster
It can go to a random map. All of the games are separate though... I'll put that on the todo list, but it will be pretty low. Really need to get the Lobbies and Waitroom functionality all in.
@TheElm
Well you don't need to give people classes for games, you can just delete that in the config. And all the classes have perms, so they couldn't pick those classes if they were clicking on signs.
Yeah, probably let them try to select a class as a default... that shouldnt be too hard.

Posted Apr 30, 2013I'm creating a games server (pvp/arena/mob-arena/parkour/spleef/etc). So not giving players pre-defined kits would be awesome, since players are supposed to earn compensation (typically vault money) so they can buy items and equipment for a class that they pick once they join, all with unique fighting styles and such (wizard, archer, warrior) and then can select different games to play. So all those things would be superb. Really. I would be ecstatic. 1. No kits for playing games 2. Compensation reward 3. No need to 'pick' a class before joining a game
For permissions based with multiple permissions given to a player (like an op) you could have a setting in the config.yml "Default class:" maybe?
Thanks.

Posted Apr 30, 2013I want to set specific kits that have guns and other stuff inside them, also, can this automatically go to a random map and gamemode?
