- console say testing
If you check the server.log, you might find that the player who ran that command may NOT have had permission to use the /say command. That's why for most commands, you'll just run them as the console.
doCommands are working for classes.yml and ArenaConfig.yml. They're just not working for arenas.yml
P.S. What is the /bc command ?
Also, i'm not sure if you can randomize the firstspawn. I'll have to check the documentation or code to find out. If not, i'll have to contemplate a design to add it that functionality. It's a good idea.
Ok I thought it was just the command for the doCommands in game that wasn't working, but I added it to the config file itself and the doCommands didnt work! What I'm using it for, the doCommands are integral, giving perms, random teleports, and all of that, here's a look at what I did, if there's a mistake please tell me http://i.cubeupload.com/UDH335.png <==What's in the arenaconfig.yml file. The arena I made was with /arena create testingpvp, thats why I edited the arenaconfig.yml http://i.cubeupload.com/AMkN1M.png <==Nothing happens in game
Help???
Also I wanna make a Hunger Games typed arena, is there a way to randomize the firstspawn of the chests I add?
@Europia79
Thanks for the quick reply! I'll give it a try, see if it works. I will just make new custom games, I can name them something server themed anyway, the doCommands that I add in that file should work yea? Then I'll just mail the server owner the file to add in ;)
@adrianx14
i noticed that bug too, and reported it to the issue tracker. That command that you're using is modifying the arenas.yml file, which is supposed to override the SkirmishConfig.yml.
So, the doCommands for the arenas.yml file are not working. However the doCommands for the SkirmishConfig.yml are working. So, you can manually edit the SkirmishConfig.yml or use a command to do it. I believe the command is /skirmish alter or /skirmish setOption
But it sounds like you don't have access to the server files. Altho, there are commands to add options to the configs, I don't know if there are commands to remove options. For removing stuff from the configs, I usually just open the file and manually delete what I want. Message me on Skype, and I can help you further. I will definitely have to fix the arenas.yml doCommands. Sounds like I'll also have to add a command to delete/clear portions of the config files.
Hey, epic plugin but im having some problems, maybe someone can help please? I'm setting up an arena, but I only have access to the server in game, meaning I can do commands only. SO I wanted to add a command for the various phases, onenter, on join etc. I am doing this /skirmish setArenaOption thecliffs{my arena} OnEnter doCommands console manuadd nyroc59116 buildteam
I am trying to run the command /manuadd nyroc59116{my ign} buildteam, no errors but it just doesnt happen, do I have a syntax error somewhere or is this something I must do from the config only? Btw I am just using that command to test it out, I can easily see the effect, what i really plan is adding messages to say "Welcome to TheCliffs bla bla bla!" I'm hoping I am doing something wrong, so I can fix it.
@thief001
Link fixed, sorry about that.
pls fix the permissions link.
it contains an http: to mutch.. noting bad, just would be nicer ;)
@GodsDead
Use this technique as a temporary workaround (until I get time to add permissions as an attribute to classes):
http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/battlearena2/pages/classes/with/extra/permissions/
@Europia79
For Spigot Builds, you can download pre-patched versions at http://spigotmc.info/spigot/
For the temporary permissions / groups, It would work like this.
@GodsDead
1. i'll have to look into the inventory issue. 2. BattleArena doesn't work with WorldGuard 6 yet. Use one of the WorldGuard 5 versions. 3. i don't have a copy of Spigot to test that out. Please send me a copy! But yeah, WorldEdit has been known to kick everyone while it does its work. For AsyncWorldEdit, just try it out... As long as it has the same packages and classes, it should work. (lemme know). 4. Unfortunately, I don't know if i'll ever get time to implement this... because there are other, more important issues that need to be fixed first, like adding support for WG 6 while retaining backwards compatibility (for example). But the good news is that BattleArena has a really good API that you can hook into. It makes BattleArena extensible and customizable. Msg me if you need help with this. 5. Give some specific examples on exactly what you want to do.
@leo1232
I think I helped you out on IRC, and we got your problem fixed. Let me know if you still need help.
@_Riaz It all depends on what version of Spigot/BattleArena you are using, as certain versions have been know to cause lag. One specific example is the scoreboards needing to be reworked due to Spigot handling them in a weird way. That particular issue has been fixed in the latest version of BattleArena, however you might not have been running it. Also, BattleArena completely works with all versions of 1.7 and there are no Spigot or CraftBukkit builds with 1.8 yet, so I am not really sure what you are suggesting with that one.
Hey! First of all thank you VERY much for continuing this project. Used this for a while now and have some requests and questions and bug reports.
Hi ! Thanks for keep on the plugin ! But I have a problem with him. I don't know why "/[arena] join" don't work. Can you help me ? http://pastebin.com/CeqLUq94
Edit : Réglé Thanks !
How can I add costom features to classes ex: magic. Like the Mineplex sever. I am going to program costom class features. But how can I make It so only some classes have the feature.

Create a New Ticket and elaborate on the details. If you give enough details, I will add it.
As it stands right now, I don't fully understand what you want.
What is the command name ?
What is the command syntax ?
What are the arguments to the command ?
What does the command do ?
What "score" do you want to "add" ? What is the result of the addition ? An addition to a database ? Print out the result of the addition ? Save the addition in memory to be fetched for a later use ?
The old regular BattleArena lagged my server. Used it for a while then had a lot of complains about lag. So I ran a spigot timing and figured it was BattleArena, - So Ive removed it again.
Would be nice if you guys could make a nice update on it soon and fix these lag issues and update it to 1.8/1.7.10 etc.
Ty.
Zach please when you add command to add score because I really need it or if this is very easy can you please send me it. :) Thanks
@thereallegend
"/ffa auto" will set FFA to open automatically when a player tries to join. To completely close FFA you would need to use "/ffa close"
The "joinType: joinPhase" option doesn't work well. For example "/ffa auto" command work, but even if no one open the event, players can join the event with "/ffa join" command. Can you fix it please?.
