Posted Mar 25, 2013Hi again, Several issues are up now: 1. I've noticed that every time I change something in the config and do /arena reload, dm and ffa stop working (don't find the params matching...). I have to restart the server to make it work again. 2. Players can break blocks in my ffa arena even with the option blockBreakOff. I have added wg region to it. It resets nicely though. 3. Tourney never starts even if I force it. It says: "Not enough players in the queue..." even though it says "3 teams will compete in 3 rounds competition..." Please help! This is one of my favorite plugins and you are doing a great job and are always helpful! I really want everything to work. I am using the latest version.

Sorry, I'll make an announcement. Players now need the "arena.leave" perm to leave.
A lot of people want to force people into events and don't want them to leave.
@alek123222
Never heard of that before... whats your ip? I'd like to see this happening.

Posted Mar 22, 2013Hi for some reason today players can't use the /arena leave function to leave the queue, it just repeats the line but doesn't take them out of the queue. Any help?

Posted Mar 22, 2013Here's my config you requested a few pages back: http://pastebin.com/M7vsjpUe My query was that I'm getting the message "You can't change classes after changing items!" when trying to change classes via a sign. It seems to only happen when using a non default class, such as a class given to someone with arena.class.use.<classname>

TagAPI updated and changed things around, You will need to download the most recent version of that plugin to fix the error. I'll try to catch this exception though to prevent things from not working in the future if TagAPI changes.

I'll take any help on documentation that I can! The wiki is open for anyone to edit, though I believe you need a github account to do so.
@rnoa
Strange, So make sure you have the most recent version of BattleArena, I just fixed the last of the bugs I created after moving everything around.
Otherwise hit me up on irc(directions above) so we can work it out.

Posted Mar 20, 2013Fantastic response time! Thank you so much for addressing this. Your punctuality and professionalism should be a model for all plugin developers. (And users.)
I would be happy to lend a hand on the documentation for this project, if you'd like. With so much flexibility, it would really help implementers while cutting down on the support needs.
Thanks again, and keep up the good work!

There is an option for respawning at random locations after they respawn (randomRespawn), but not for spawning... I'll add it into the next version I release.
So yes you can, It's not something that is documented.. but here is how you do it. so you need to specify the "arenaType", you want to make bg,dm, arena, all use the same arenaType.
Arena: arenaType: ArenaBattleground: arenaType: Arena-

That should be happening automatically, do you happen to have MultiInv? There seems to be some conflicts right now with that plugin that I'm working on.
@timsavage
Hey Tim, you aren't alone being frustrated by the documentation.
So I didn't have an option for Thorns, so I fixed that, here is the link (though it hasn't cleared bukkit yet)
I try to use the common names you can see when scrolling over the item, but here is the entire list.
https://github.com/alkarinv/BattleArena/wiki/Item-Enchant-List
They are potion effects. I called them enchants so that I could include custom effects if I wanted.

Posted Mar 20, 2013Hello ! I've got a couple of question regarding your great plugin , Battle Arena !
First of all , I'm trying to make a FFA , is it possible to add random spawn points? I don't want them to spawn at the same point everytime. And is it possible to do it without teams ? Or else it isn't really Free For All =)
And my last question is something completely different, Is it possible to have different Arena styles ( BG , DM , Arena , FFA ) in 1 arena ? So they will start after each other for example , BG first then DM then FFA then Arena or something.
If anyone could help me with this, it would be really appreciated =) Keep up the good work with the plugin.
Thanks in advance

Posted Mar 20, 2013This is an excellent and highly configurable plugin. Kudos! Unfortunately, the documentation is severely lacking, and outright wrong in places. (Example: permission node is listed as arena.join.capturetheflag in multiple places, when it is in fact arena.ctf.join).
The issue I am currently having could have been entirely resolved with more complete and accurate documentation, thus alleviating the need for this post and it's subsequent response.
Here's the question:
How do I assign the Thorns enchantment to an inventory item in a custom class? And a related question, why not just use the official enchantment names? That would completely negate the need to refer to any documentation in the first place. I do realize there may be a valid reason for the way you have implemented this.
Also related, the class config has an entry for enchants, but isn't this actually potion effects? And are these also arbitrarily named? I can't find any documentation relating to this feature what so ever, and the example config only has a few possibilities shown.
I'm not trying to be condescending or snarky in this post, although I imagine my frustration is apparent. This certainly is a well written plugin, and it's clear that much forethought went into its design. I also see from previous posts that you are extremely helpful and courteous to those having issues. I just think that making the documentation a bit more accurate, concise and complete would likely prevent many from having to post in the first place, and leave you with more time to enjoy coding this excellent piece of work rather than answering questions.
Thanks again for your time in creating this code, and reading and replying to these questions.
EDIT: I found the potion effect docs. Still can't find info on Thorns enchantment though.
