@Zach443
Yes waitrooms work great, though it was hard to find info on how to set them up :P
@Dantinoz
Hmm, I haven't hear about this.. I will have to test it out. In the meantime, do waitrooms function how you would like?
Uhh, the "matchTime:" doesn't seem to work, it always goes to 2minutes for each game.
@Dantinoz
What do you mean by lobbies? We already have a waitroom system that functions very similar to a traditional "lobby", where players are teleported for before the match and can choose their class/ run around.
P.S. Sorry for the cat pictures in the description to anyone who noticed.. I am working to get the images restored to how they were before.
Could you guys please add lobbies? Would make this plugin awesome, and I can't seem to find any good arena plugin with a lobby system.
@videodrone81
Yes, you have said in private messages and on GitHub. I have replied to you about this.
Teams can team kill with custom games. I cannot seem to replicate in non custom games.
I used to run arenas in my survival server, but I haven't bothered fixing anything as players were gaming the arena stealing the kits, I think it was due to the inventory saveing, if they played so many times in a row, their inventory would be saved as the last games kit if they played over and over, so they leave with the kit! Is there a way to avoid this?
@minecraftman427
Try this: arena.class.use.gladiator arena.class.use.archer arena.class.use.monk

Im really thankfull for all the support I have been given so far, but yet another question im afraid.
Is it possible to set up ranking up in the game, i.e. you score a certain amount and you get ranked up to the next rank and access new classes?
if so can someone point me in the right direction on the wiki so I can work out how to do it.
thanks again.

It won't let players that are not opped use the class signs and I don't know the permission(s) because it doesn't say on the permission page.
Hello for the deathmatch, if i want player have random spawn at the respawn, i need to create multiple spawn per team or this is other thing ?
@WinFamSurv
To add multiple spawn points per team:
./ctf alter arenaName T S
Where T is the TeamNumber and S is the SpawnNumber
I'm not sure about the other stuff. i'll have to look into it
@WinFamSurv
Unfortunately, none of those features are apart of BattleArena at this time :( That being said, your first request is on the feature list for v4.0, which will be our next big update. If you would like to see any of those other features in the future, please feel free to create an issue on our GitHub repository. Once submitted there, we will be much more likely to see it, and even possibly add it to the feature list for the next update.
Edit: my bad on the above statement. Multiple spawns per team is in fact featured in BattleArena. See Europia79's above comment for usage.
Im really pleased to see things are being updated with this plugin, I must admit first impressions are very good, and im learning loads about it, but I am still learning so I have a couple of questions.
1. how do I add additional spawn points to a team in CTF, for example I would like 4 or 5 spawn points for both the red and the blue team, can this be done.
2. is there a way of giving each team their own coloured armour instead of wool heads? for example I would like the blue team to wear blue dyed leather armour and the red team red dyed leather armour and switch wool heads off, is this possible.
3. is it possible to turn off player names above the opposite teams heads, so that red team players cannot see blue team players names, if so how do I do this?
And finally for now at least!!!
4. Is it possible to make an area on the server a lobby for a particular type of game eg CTF or Paintball, that once a player enters it, they are added to the join queue? for example I walk into a room called CTF Lobby and I am automatically entered into the queue to join the next game?
Thanks once again in advance.

Not sure if anyone noticed the pictures were gone, but I'm getting them back up now.
@WinFamSurv
sorry about that. I switched servers and the links broke.
Thanks for letting me know. I just fixed them.
@Europia79
Hi Thank you very much for these, im trying to look at the example config etc. on the Crack shot integration info but none of the links are working, do you have any other links to them that work please?

Crackshot Integration info
Lemme if you need any more help. You can also sometimes message me on Skype... And occassionally, i'll jump on IRC... Also, there are a lot of other people besides me in our IRC channel that might be able to help too. They're normally AFK... so you have to post your question and wait a while for a response. Or just post here.
Ok we have bitten the bullet and are going to try and add this in to our servers with the paintball add on and the CTF add on, and Crack Shot too.
I have set up a separate test server, but I need more information on setting up the plugins, I need access to some advanced set up guides, I'm ok with Crack Shot theres is up and running ok, its just the Battle Arena, Paintball and CTF.
Can anyone give me some links to advanced setups for these please, all the links on the various pages for each of these elements links are broken and not much help.
Any help with these would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advanced EllisWin SafeCraft.co.uk
