I ran into a snag when I recently tried to create a large arena... (i was trying to make Power Plant a dueling area... and When i increased teh dueling zone size... it surrounded the power plant correctly, but the dueling DOME.. was only a small part in the center... this caused players to spawn in without weapons or anything... did i configure something odd? or did this get overlooked?

I have a quick revision.. setting the dueling size DOES work... and the DOME adjusts ACCORDINGLY... but.. the problem i ran into... is when you change the size of the arena... and you attempt to reload the plugin in order to set the next arena you wish to create at a smaller size... it changes ALL the arena sizes.. it doesnt leave the previous one the size it was... example...

I set the size of the arena to 175 to encompass PowerPlant.... then I want to small OilRig.. and set the arena size to 30 and i set up the OilRig one perfectly... i go back to PowerPlant and the arena had shrunk down to 30 (dome wise) and therefore made the arena useless because if they spawned outside that tiny bubble.. they would have no weapons.

And sorry for the 3rd post on this for you, but I was wondering... If i wanted the 3 arenas I set up to be PERMANENT.. and not delete and move... how would I set it so after a certain amount of duels on that arena.. it will change?

heya,

duel zones, independent of zone manager, were intended to be at secluded arenas where duelers can fight uninterrupted. setting this up at monuments kind of defeats that purpose. you can try it now, but I don't know if it will work since it's not supported. I don't want to add a bunch of functionality for it, but I don't mind fixing any issues. 

the size of the zone is determined by the setting in the config. changing the size will apply to all zones. it was intended to be a one size fits all. I don't mind changing it so you can customize it per zone but one size should fit all.

duel zones don't rotate, they are picked at random. if configured then the existing zone is deleted and a new one is created after x number of duels.

if you want the zone to be permanent then you need to set this to 0. otherwise it will be deleted

"Create New Zone Every X Duels [0 = disabled]": 1,​

I dont think i explained it well enough. Let me try to be more concise. If you scroll down to the bottom of the CONFIG file and find this line 

"Zone Radius (Min: 50, Max: 300)": 75.0

if i adjust this to lets say... 125.. like i want to encompass JUNKYARD for example... you get it to 125... reload the plugin .. go to the center of junkyard and type /duel custom  IT WILL... set the arena size to 125 and the DOME adjusts to that size as well... now fastforward... on the same map i want to encompass POWERPLANT as well... this size is much bigger... like 200ish... so i go into the plugin and adjust it to 

"Zone Radius (Min: 50, Max: 300)": 200.0

Now... i reload the plugin.. go to powerplant... and /duel custom  IT DOES make an arena at 200 radius... and the dome adjusts to fit.. but here is what i was asking on the first part...  this ALSO adjusts the previous dome size... (AT JUNKYARD) to 200 now.. it changes the size after it's already been placed... I cant find a way to individually set sizes of the arenas.. that's the thing i was asking... 

ROTATING ARENAS wise...

I have figured out the line you showed me... and that's if you want the plugin to automatically create spots for people to duel, and that function is wonderful! besides from teh occasional person spawning in the terrain slightly and unable to move.. 

what i was looking for, is something where it does that same function... but after X amount of duels.. it switches to another PERMANENT arena i set up custom.

i hope this is more concise. I'd be more than happy to get a paid version of this where you implement some features like this. You are obviously talented at what you do and are very responsive 

hi, you explained it well enough the first time
adjusting that size will apply it to all arenas. it is not configurable per arena
I don't see a reason to rotate arenas though
either way, the plugin needs a rewrite. it's 8 years old and dated :p

Ok, i thought i may have been less descriptive. I'm just glad such a good plugin is free to use. Although you werent kidding when you said it was a complicated plugin to use lol

the reason i was thinking to rotate the arenas so "rematches" arent just played at the same spot over and over.. that's all. And just an FYI.. this plugin works BEAUTIFULLY if applied to a monument.. i'm blocking off a few monuments for PVP purposes since its close to wipe. That's the reason :)   It works beautifully inside of monuments just like out in the world.

I tend to make complicated plugins, either because I'm terrible at making them easy to use, or they just have too much functionality? maybe both!

I see, I will note it down then but I am swamped with other tasks atm

No but if you do re-write it.. cool features:

1) ability to set diff sizes for zones (you know.. so the zone is bigger and smaller to encompass more terrain.. etc... sometimes more close quarters)
2) ability to differentiate teams in TDM slightly better.. like.. team RED and team BLUE and have their armor skinned that way.. or whatever they are wearing

Other than that man, the small problems with the kits not deleting when you overwrite them you have been on top of. I appreciate it. I do a lot of plugin configuration on my server so I usually run into all these types of problems.

Thanks for making the plugin man! it's really fun
