Future Updates
I've decided that I'm not going to be releasing many new features to the plugin, mainly bug fixed and optimisation, whilst keeping the plugin updated, this is because I run CubeCraft (play.cubecraftgames.net) which by itself if a lot of work, and currently being head developer and owner, it is fun working on other plugins at the same time as well, sorry for this!

Posted May 12, 2013MegaAlenMinecraft: Did you update to 1.1.0.1 from 1.0.4 and not delete your config because it will break because the plugin now works slightly differently. Ryeezy34: It /walls time <operator> [time] <arenaname>. What this means is that use the operators in the operator section. At the moment the only operator that I have is "set" but maybe in some future updates there will be more operators. So for a 15 minute game the command will be "/walls time set 900 walls!"

Posted May 11, 2013I think you should implement a check that whenever the game ends all the dropped items disappear since this can be used for the advantage of someone. Also could you add a config option for how long it would take the game to start if there are more than 2 players? because if not players only have 1 minute to be able to join the game before it starts again.

Posted May 10, 2013Hello. Im useing this plugin on my bukkitserver, 1.5.2. Uses spigot, 1.5.2-R0.2-SNAPSHOT and Multiverse-Core v2.5-b623. im using TheWalls v1.1.0.1 and it seems to work fine. it loads and so, can create, start and join a game.
But when I have finished a game, won in some way so sometimes I get kicked from the server with no direct error message, i can post it if it could help to troubleshoot and maybe help me with being able to use this wonderful plugin!
The server dosent die, its just kicks me out

Posted May 10, 2013I just installed plugin and made 2 arenas on my server. I don't seems to use too much RAM, however it goes up slowly and it's at 1,5gb at the moment. If you want to test it you can come on mc.cowcraft.net and do /server walls .
EDIT: For next update, please add queue feature it would be REALLY helpful. When player punches the sign, plugin would put player into queue so player would be auto teleported to game as soon as game ends. This system uses SurvivalGames plugin and the developer posted srouce code of it too. So maybe you could use some of methods he used. That would be really awesome as now most of my players get tired of waiting and miss the game start, then they have to wait even longer...

Um there is a thing called BungeeCord, you connect many servers to one server. I ran 920 players without lag.

Posted May 10, 2013For the next update I am thinking of fixing this large RAM issues. I have no idea if I will be able to use a Sql data thingy as I have no knowledge of them at all. If you want to help me set them up on a Sql database send me a pm!

Posted May 10, 2013@Robinhood... There is a variety of arenas actually. I think maybe 8 or 10 different ones? Then like 10 copies of each type. You should really check it out... mc.hypixel.net
I have no idea how he runs such an efficient set up with 1500 concurrent people connected. It's pretty crazy.

Posted May 10, 2013whenever i save a arena it says Saving the arena! then it says a internal error has occured. and ever since i added walls to my test server, some chunks just turn the whole sections of a area black.. i know its client side but my main servers never get this

Posted May 10, 2013Obviously he's not using the same plugin. The point I'm getting at is his server is running the original walls, the reason this was created, to replicate it. His plugin is probably home brewed and private. It works quite well, he's got literally 100 walls maps going at a time, and no lag at all.

He might not be using this plugin?
I'm going to look at converting this to SQLite for my server. If I don't hear back from Rubik I may have to set it up as a separate branch plugin... but I'd much rather work alongside him!

Posted May 10, 2013He uses a different plugin for starters, but I'm sure his server also has a ton of RAM. It's also possible he configures his plugin so that they all load from the same backup as all the arenas are the same.

Posted May 10, 2013I've been checking out Hypixel's server a lot lately. I find it fascinating at how popular it is. Does this mod really require approx 2.5GB memory per arena? That's insane. Hypixel has at least 100 arenas being played in concurrent on his server. He must be doing something different.

Mine jumped from 600mb to 2.5gb for one arena... hefty requirements.
If I get a response back from Rubik I will look into converting this plugin to SQLite to ease the memory usage.

Posted May 10, 2013@ellbristow Is that functional? Also, how much memory do your guys's servers need to run this?

Let me know what you've been working on since 1.1.0.1 and I'll add it to my code. I'm in the process of tidying up and reorganising yours! :)
If you're not familiar with GitHub (or git in general) let me know.

Posted May 10, 2013The plugin works great now.. it has only had 1 problem since you released the latest version, good job!
I do highly recommend an sql lite db though. I'm lucky my server has enough RAM on it, but it is definitely causing some issues on rebuild, nothing too bad though. Thanks again for your hard work.
