Posted Apr 30, 2013hey, alkarinv, could it be possible to do so players can return to the arena after they will left, surely configurable? because sometimes players just losing connection. Even if that happening rarely, still.

They should, I don't override most things unless you specify.
Once I finish all the features that will be in all games, I'll be starting to make more game types.

That's already inside, BattleArena/config.yml. unsafeItemEnchants: true
@netherfoam
I'll check the github!
@TheElm
Hmm, based on permissions eh... I like that idea. But, I'm not sure what to do when people have multiple class permissions...
Give me some more details and a solution and it should be easy.

It's not really 1 waitroom per arena, that is now fixed in the documentation.
Once I get the foundations of BattleArena to have all of the features I want I'll be moving to more game creations, Hunger games will be among those :)
@Syfers96
What is the errors you are getting on load ? Not much I can do without some errors.
@Syfers96
You need to specify onDeath.options: [respawnWithClass]
@netherfoam
You can't quite yet, I'll be adding that in the next release (should be tomorrow)
@Treeline1
It's whatever game you want. Check the BattleArena/competitions folder.
@LeMightyDuff
They should just be able to click on the next sign, as long as they havent "used" their items it should switch them. If it doesn't then pastebin me your classes file and tell me which ones you can't switch between and I'll fix.

Posted Apr 29, 2013Still looking out for a version that automatically sets the class based on permissions without adding any items or anything. Have a full pvp server and players get their own gear. Just need something to control battles.

Posted Apr 29, 2013Received this error: http://privatepaste.com/f1073b0c15 in BattleArena 3.8.7.3, It might have been fixed in the latest version, or might not have (I'm awaiting a reboot to find out, I guess)
EDIT: Still receiving http://privatepaste.com/d45727fcc2 on 3.8.7.5 :S

Can you possibly add a way for us to add lore to items in https://github.com/alkarinv/BattleArena/blob/master/src/mc/alk/arena/util/InventoryUtil.java ?
Such as
- stone_sword: sharp:1 1 lore:"Epic Sword of Doom;&6Elite Item&5"
I have some custom plugins which use lore to track items with special effects, and it would be cool if I could give these out as items for arenas!
Cheers :)
EDIT: I'm submitting this as a ticket on github, I have some sourcecode that does the hard part for you :)

Yes I know how to make class signs but if I make a mistake with choosing my class then I have to leave and re-enter to choose another one

That feature already exists, it's called unsafe-enchantments or something in the config :)

Posted Apr 27, 2013Hi Alkarin,
I recall you mentioned there'd be a version update this weekend for WaitRoom support in Queue matches.
Would it be at all possible to include another small feature with the update?
It'd be great if we could specify higher enchantment levels in the config than the normal defaults.
Eg, normally the SHARPNESS enchant has a max level of 5.
It'd be great to be able to give people a piece of paper with sharpness 50, so they can go around giving people fatal paper-cuts :) Or to give people a cookie with knockback 20 like on the CookieSlap server.
We can already specify enchants for items that are given through giveItems or items that are included in classes, it'd be great if there was no limit (or an upper limit of like 1000) so we could do something like:
onSpawn:
options: [giveItems]
items:
- paper: SHARPNESS:50 1

Well, Alkarinv coded it, and I've written all my BattleArena addOns from scratch. So I'm hoping hes got a small API or something for it.
