Hi Arte,
I enjoy using XML Points alot and I would love to see some extra features added in.
Here are some ideas:
- An configurable option to allow / dis-allow mounts and / or pets when choosing a particular arena (this would give players the option to choose tamer vs tamer or just straight pvp without pets or mounts from choosing the arena, eg. arena-a allows pets, arean-b no pets allowed). While players have pets with them before the no-pet challenge, the script could auto-stable the pets or shrink them and dropped into their pack or bank.
- Configurable teleport position for player A and player B for challenge games or others (so that there's a set distance between players instead of being teleported ontop of each other at the same location at the moment).
- Pre match pause after teleporting to arena and count down (which you are working on atm).
- Configurable time limit for a duel / game. After the time is up, slight pause of 1-2 secs with message saying time is up (so it could be a draw) and then players are transported back to their original location.
- During a match, if a player drops out both players would be transported back to their original location.

I'm working on a new region controller that will work with xmlspawner and with addons to allow them to configure region options on the fly. This will allow xmlpoints duels to configure various options such as that.
I like the time limit idea.
Return teleport on dropout should also be going in as well as starting duel positions in the arena specification.

Excellent, can't wait for the new region controller.
I'm glad you like the time limit idea.
As for the return on teleport due to drop out, so that we are on the same wavelength, what I meant was that both players should be transported back to their original location outside the arena. Doing it this way would free up the arena for other players whilst the other player logs in again, if at all.
Keep up the good work. I'll check in from time to time for the new version and content.
Cheers!
