Oh, sorry, still trying to figure out the best way to have victoryConditions.
change the victoryCondittion to "HighestKills". With the latest battlearena it shouldn't affect the number of lives.
@xDeeKay
Yes, but it got pushed down on the list :(
@fplayer
That will happen automatically. You just need enough people to fill both.

Posted Apr 10, 2013Ok, now it is:
and it running but, at the ending of match it always a draw. Arena built so people almost can't die from direct pvp, they usually dying from fall. How should I setup so player who died less times wins?

In the BattleArena/config.yml
in your game config, this example uses skirmish
Skirmish: nTeams: 2-8 teamSize: 1So it NEEDS at least 2 teams, but otherwise it will try to get up to 8. If it doesnt reach 8 teams, then when the matchForceStartTime goes off and there are at least 2 teams inside, it will start.
@rsod remove 4 spaces from nLives:
what you did makes sense, but its not quite right
victoryCondition: nLives nLives: 4also, specifying nLives, now automatically gives the victoryCondition nLives, so you can choose another if you would like. For example MobKills, if you wanted that for some reason.

Posted Apr 9, 2013Is there a way to make it a certain number of teams but if it doesn't get that number within so many minutes it'll start anyway? For instance the game needs 8 teams but after 10 minutes if it doesn't get 8 it will settle for however many are joined. oh another question (yea i really am a pain) is there a way to give exp as a prize or only items? if not ill have to give bottle o' enchanting

Posted Apr 9, 2013Also sometimes an item magically transforms into another one. Like a potion on the monk class turns into a diamond sword (now that's not a pretty sight) or the arrows of an archer turns into a bow. Any ideas?

Posted Apr 9, 2013Hello, it seems like I've run into some problems with both BattleArena and BattleTracker (running the latest version of both).
First of all, it seems like the arenas doesn't start anymore. People can join the queue but the arenas never start, saying that not enough players have joined. Same goes for the duel command, only that when you duel someone you can't even leave the queue (I disabled duels for now because of all the bugs it caused).
Second, BattleTracker ratings only updates when matches are 1v1 or 2v1, not 2v2, 3v3 etc. Is it possible to change so that it only updates when the teams are equal? Alternatively to force BattleArena to only start an arena when teams are equal, but still has the option to host both big and small teams?
I'm grateful for all the help I can get, thank you in advance!

Hey, what version are you using? 3.8.4.4+ has /arena reload, fixes.
If you are using that version, then damn. Is everything working after a restart? that would be the most important thing.

Posted Apr 9, 2013Well, I have a problem. I got custom competitions to work but: 1) when I'm dooing /arena reload, the deathmatch event and swordfighting (class freeforall) disappears from arena list and couldn't be opened/joined. 2) when I'm doing /dm reload, deathmatch arena appears. 3) when I'm doing /sf reload (custom command for swordfighting) swordfighting arena appears, but deathmatch arena disappears again.

Have you tried doing exactly that?
That in fact works. http://battleplugins.com/w/index.php/BA_CommandSigns
Though I have a fix for the arena name in 3.8.5+.
@MrSheepSheep
Sounds like a bug, I'll try to fix
@Lindsiepe
give me your ArenaConfig.yml, use pastebin.com
Might be a conflict with another plugin?
@Redstoner_Pro
No need, I already have join signs.

There are plenty of command sign plugins out there that you could use to do this. Maybe do a search for one of them first? Another suggestions, Put a button on the wall tied to a command block that make the player join the game.

Posted Apr 9, 2013I made a Thief class. It has the Invisibility potion effect.
But if the player win, he looses his potion effect, but he is still invisible, even if he drink Milk.
I have this problem since the 1.4.7 version of the plugin.
Is it possible to fix this ?

Posted Apr 8, 2013Feature Suggestion:
It'd be nice if we could put a sign up to choose which arena to play in... eg, to have a wall with signs like
Arena
Join
Snow_Arena
and
Arena
Join
Arena_2
etc etc, so people could choose which arena they want to play in

Posted Apr 8, 2013even when enableplayer readyblock is set to false, it makes all iron blocks unminable and it says "you ready yourself for the arena" very annoying. ive set the ready block to bedrock until its fixed.
