[INACTIVE][FUN] Fight v1.1.4 - Arena Type Battles [740]

I love this as a low memory and stable alternative to the War plugin, definitely going to use it. If you add reloadable land, please add a config to disable it, War required way too much memory to use and has become intensely unstable. Rewards would be great, especially with an iConomy hook. I am looking forward to it

One of the reasons for creating this came about because i wanted something like war, but it looked like it did way too much for what i wanted.

So i taught myself java is 2 days and made this in 3! Eat your heart out baby!

Does too many things, except iConomy support, that part amazed me. My server was based on War arenas which would reward items sold for currency, and in 1.4, even though it took a lot of memory, it worked. Now, in 1.5, it causes insane, and inoperable lag spikes.

Simplicity is key!

Maaan, friggin awesome - thank you very much for making this and telling me about it too =D

EDIT: Will the winning team get cake? Thats the next thing to do, rewards for the winning team, also re-loadable blueprints is an awesome idea.

I have to be the first one with an error =D

I've tried it with both the most recent Recommended Build (740), and build 733
I've also tried again (with both builds) and no other plugin's present in the folder. Same code is generated:

Code:

EDIT: Figured it out, I needed to set classes =P. You should add a default set of classes for good measure.

Good job Deminetix, this plugin will work well with our server. Are you still interested in working on races?

Something I forgot to suggest, and this might be low priority, but in War it was always a major pain to my players that it could be a game to 10 kills, and in a close game one team could get 9 and get absolutely nothing. It would be awesome if there was a loser reward field, or a per kill reward field.

ive got a quick idea,
is it possible for you to add it so that there is an objective like when you set a waypoint it creates an identical house everytime and gives the person that created it a block(some type) then you place that somewhere in the house and other team has to break it before your tema breaks theirs

please test with latest recommended
and there has to be a changelog at the end of the post

I think I got the same error as MacklinB

Hope this helps.

Gotta love cellphones I checked my source in github. The problem is your classes have not been entered into config.yml. It will still generate one for you on first run so go ahead and add your classes amd run it again. I will fix the code tomorrow guys but that should get u up and running

iConomy support for rewards please.

Could somebody please confirm that they have got this working nicely on their server?

By iConomy support do you mean iConomy money rewards for the winning team players?

Thanks! Changelog was added. Works with latest recommended build.

Aw man this plug-in is awsome! I heard you were busy with this mod a couple of days ago, when you announced it in a different forumthread. Now when it's done, I can only say: you did a damn good job! I was reading through your post and 90% of the time I know something is missing, a lacking feature or command. You are the other 10%, this plug-in is so complete. It's barely released yet and I can't come up with something it misses, you can use this on a 50+ man server already! Once again, very good job in making this and publishing it out to the public! +1000000

I'm glad you like it mate! Thank you for your kind words.

Also, released v1.0.1 - Fixes the bug people mentioned yesterday with the config file. It now automatically fills the config file with default classes in which you can edit to your liking!

It created the config file this time, no errors on my server. Commands work too.

Woot! Glad it's usable now. As for your question on races, definately am! Will do some "head-coding" during the week to map out how it might work.

Awesome, we are going to build an arena to try this out, also congrats on your Plugin badge. If you ever want to drop by and say hi on our server, you're welcome to drop by.

My input on rewards:

I'd like the winning team to be rewarded with iConomy money.

Also an option for players to duel:
-Player types /Duel <coin amount>
-First player that types it starts a 2 minute countdown. Anyone who types /Duel joins the fight as long as they have enough coin to match their opponent. Upon a second person joining the duel, both players should be teleported to the arena waiting rooms.
-Winner of the fight gets the money the other player bet.

I love this because it's a simple alternate to war and since fortress assault died i went to war but it was causing too much lagg and just was very big(in my mind i felt it to be big)

thank you for making this and i love how it doesn't save the area like war did .

i do also suggest iconomy support
and maybe some other features but not picky atm

Interesting by your great alternate to war, I tried it on my server and I want to share my advice about inconveniences: winner's team keep his stuff and win looser's stuff, and then, problem of compatibility with levelcraft (levelling useless during battle, no access to high tools (diamond tool with low level in combat).
I believe in your new plugin, and futures improvements! (sorry bad english :s)

Definitely an amazing plugin. I'd have some ideas to contribute to this, would you like to add me on skype, halofuntage?

What is the version of Bukkit required to run this plugin. Every time i try /fight I get this message: "Internal Server Error." I think this is due to having the wrong version of bukkit. Please help me!!!

the only thing i'd immediately add is the ability to type /fight1, /fight2, to support multiple arenas
as well as the ability to choose teams

I didn't fought yet but what happens after one team wins?

I like this plugin quite alot. Just a request of mine. When a battle is over I have noticed that my members keep their tools/weapons. Is it possible so that once a battle is over, their inv is cleared?

I hate to bring this issue out to light, but there is a problem that probably needs to be addressed. A player joining in the lounge can choose a class, drop the items to the ground, remove himself from the class, and choose another, then pick the items back up, essentially giving himself all the good items. Is there any way you can counter this? Its quite a serious hindrance to a good arena match. =\
