Hi, for some reason, the plugin does not generate a plugin folder with all the config files.
Please add GUI support for /arena list or /arena list all. All areas will appear in gui and if click, they will be able to join!
You guys are active again, well i'm not complaining. Would be nice if you looked into this performance issue i'm having.

Scrolling down to BattleArena, you see a huge spike in server load, when a match completes using the extension ArenaFutbol, any fix for this would be nice.

https://github.com/Europia79/Version - Scroll down to where it says "git previous versions". Those instructions apply to any project.
However, the message about mc.euro:Version:2.0.1 really concerns me... You should NOT be getting that message.
Also, you can message me or IRC and I can help you over screen share if necessary.
@shop1126
Good catch! I just fixed it :)
HEy just a small gripe, idk if you noticed it but in the "recent files" BattleArena v3.9.10.4 appears twice, I think it should be 5 at the end. Not sure if you can fix it but I was confused at first :P
@Zach443
thanks - I was just curious. The next error I get is that "mc.euro:Version.jar:2.0.1" cannot be found. The file I found in Europia's repository is actually 3.0.0-SNAPSHOT - where is 2.0.1?
Then, BattleArea would like to have BukkitInterface 1.0, while the version from github is 2.0.1.
Then, there's the trouble with craftbukkit.jar - it's probably been deleted from the repos due to legal issues. And so on and so on ...
@CasualtiesNullNull
If you changed it in your pom everything should be fine. I don't really know anything about that specific version of Vault, but any version should function. You just have to edit your pom to make maven happy.
When trying to compile BattleArena, I still get errors, but I also get this warning:
[WARNING] The POM for net.milkbowl.vault:Vault:jar:1.2.23-SNAPSHOT is missing, no dependency information available
Any idea where this warning comes from? pom.xml would like to have 1.2.31 of Vault, but there's only 1.2.32 available on http://repo.kitteh.org/content/repositories/public/net/milkbowl/vault/Vault/ - so I downloaded 1.2.32 and changed pom.xml but the warning persist. Does it originate from a dependency of BattleArena?
@TehRenderr
Nope, I tested it multiple times with 3.9.9.18 and 3.9.10.4 running Spigot 1.8.7. I was not able to reproduce the issue.
@Zach443
Were you still not able to replicate it?
@CasualtiesNullNull
Use all the repos in the BattlePlugins organization. All the BattlePlugins related stuff on my GitHub account is just my personal backup from before we had the organization. I push all code to the BattlePlugins repos, as they are all hooked up to our Jenkins server to automagically build jars/generate JavaDocs. The correct link is: https://github.com/BattlePlugins/BattleWebAPI.java/blob/master/pom.xml
The reason the name of the repo is different is to avoid confusion between the BattlePluginsAPI Java library, and our separate BattlePluginsAPI that is available to anyone who signs up on our website. BattleWebAPI.java is the BattlePluginsAPI dependency in BA, the repo is just named differently to try to avoid confusion (which can be sort of backwards depending on how you look at it I suppose ;) )
@Zach443
@Zach443, you wrote:
"BattlePluginsAPI I pushed v1.0.8 3 weeks ago"
I just gave it another try right now (it was a busy week), but still no luck. Do you mean you pushed a binary version of BattlePluginsAPI? On github, there's 1.0.6:
https://github.com/Zach443/BattlePluginsAPI/blob/master/pom.xml
definitely says "1.0.6" in the <version> tag.
Is it possible to move this discussion to somewhere else, I'm afraid to flood the forum with compile-related questions.
Hi I'm having some trouble setting up a world guard region for my arena. Whenever I use the command /arena alter <arena name> addregion the game says:
arena setArenaOption <arena> <Game Option> [value]: You need to specify a AlterParamOption
arena setArenaOption <arena> <Game Stage> <option> [value]: You need to specify a Game Stage
Im pretty sure I'm using the command correctly my arena name is Test so i type /arena alter Test addregion but this happens every time.
Hello! Great Plugin with loads of customization!
I have stumbled across an issue I can't seem to figure out though; We have a colosseum map setup with 4 teams with 2 players in each. In the waitroom there are signs where you choose your class and stuff. The problem is that when the last player joins the arena, the arena immediately starts without any cooldown or anything, making the last player unable to pick their class.
What I wanted to do was to make it use the ready block, but even when I set it to true it doesn't seem to affect anything and the arena still starts instantly when the last player needed joins. Is there a quick fix for this that I have missed in the configs or is this a bug?
@Zach443
Here is my arena config, http://pastebin.com/5fwBp11z Here is my config, http://pastebin.com/JXcgU8wN I am using worldguard 5.8 and paperspigot 1.7.10
@TehRenderr
I tried this out again and I could not get the results you were reporting. I am going to guess that you either have a plugin conflict, PaperSpigot is doing something weird, or you have some weird settings in your config. Can you paste (in a pastebin!) your config so I can take a look?
@SyntaxLev
I would recommend setting /f home as one of the blocked commands inside arenas. You should be able to find that option somewhere around line 23 in your config.yml
Players in queue can use a command /f home, when teleported into the arena, they are teleported to their faction home and their arena kit is kept. With this bug I had very few players dupe. For now I looks like I may have to increase queue wait time as well as disable all commands in the queue. Would be a good idea to patch this.
@Zach443
I am using 1.7.10 paperspigot and the latest version of battlearena. Also here is my arena config, http://pastebin.com/5fwBp11z

@TehRenderr
I did some testing with a normal arena and I was not experiencing the fluctuation of exp levels. I tried with 0, 4, 7, and 17 levels. I tested each of those about 3 times and my exp levels did not appear to change after any of matches. I will get with Euro and see if we can produce some different results.
