Awesome, I will try to see how much of my old setups will work with this. I havent used this in almost 9 months haha. I hope I can create a zombie arena.
After many restarting of the server all arenas (ctf, pb fb, ecc.) reset the map and i must reset it... how i can fix this issue?
@GodsDead
I'm not really sure what to tell you... We have run multiple test servers and not experienced any of those timing results, as well as the many many others who have the plugin running that do not have these problems. Send me a message on Skype or PM me here so we can get together over the weekend and try to figure something out.
@Zach443
I guess because most people that run minecraft servers and battlearena do not use the /timings report from spigot. Im really missing this plugin, I just cant use it because of the crazy performance issues, how can I give you more information to try and figure out what the issue is? is there a debug mode?
@Link_Survivor. Have you checked async chat or chat channels (if you're using a chat plugin) just a thought.
@LinkSurvivor
Are there any startup errors at all ? Not just for BattleArena... but for ANY plugin ? Where did you get your server JAR from ? Did you build it via BuildTools.jar ? Does BuildTools.jar report any errors ? Ask Spigot what would be a possible check for a good & valid JAR.
@LinkSurvivor
I think you don't have permission for it.
I've been having issues with the original BattleArena and BattleArena2 hasn't fixed my problem.
No matter what minigame it is, Battleground, SurvivalArena, Spleef, etc, everything is set up. I can view all the arena information and it's all accurate. The only problem is that I cannot join any of the games. Typing in the respective join command for any gamemode results in nothing whatsoever. No error message or anything. Not even a message that the command doesn't exist. Just NOTHING. Do you have any idea what could be causing the problem?
@THE_BIG_HUGO
Take a look at ArenaCTF. It is using the custom victory condition if you mean that. https://github.com/BattlePluginsDev/ArenaCTF
Can somebody post a config of a working custom game? I tryd to make mine work but nothing worked
Hmm i create an arena, but noting happends when i try to join it ./arena join
Any support on this?
you do /(gametype) join
@NizarZa123
Yes, that is the point. If you will read the description of this page as well as the description of the original BattleArena page you will see that this is the continuation of the project in alkarin's absence.
... its like BattleArena by alkarinv
@LastTulare
I would use MobArena for a Zombie Survival Arena mode. BattleArena is more suited for PvP. Altho, you could make a PvE extension for BattleArena if you want.
Gotta make a Zombie Survival arena mode similar to "ZArena" that one was the best but the dev has seemingly abandoned it D:
@buaboney
/arena alter <arena> <team> <spawn>
@MayorMike
I'm not to sure about your sign issue, I have never seen something like that before. As for your errors, thanks for the report, I'll look into them tomorrow when I get home.
@GodsDead
Very few people are having performance issues, and 99% of them are due to things like arena regeneration with WorldGuard, which is something we can not control. I replied to you private message a while ago about this. If your issues persist, feel free to message me again. Hopefully we can get together and work things out.
Ok... I thought this was possible but can't figure it out.
What is the command to add more than one spawn for each team (EX: 2 spawns for red team, 2 for blue, 2 for black etc). The documentation is confusing XD
Have you ironed out the performance issues? Last time I tested BattleArena was running at 4000%
