Important! This is a BETA release at this time! This means that there are known bugs/issues in the code, so please make sure you know that before testing the module.
I wanted to get this module online now as I think it is time to start getting feedback from the community on what they like/don't like about the setup. This is a very big module, with A LOT of configuration options, settings, etc. - it should be in pretty good shape to run on your system, but I am looking for feedback on any outstanding issues or bugs that remain. With that said:
The module features Song, Video, Photo and Profile battles, but right now it has only been really tested with Song battles on Nova. Nova templates are included in the modules/jrBattle/skin_templates/Nova directory. Copy those into your Nova folder, then the battles can be viewed at: http://yoursite.com/lists/battles
If you are NOT using Nova, integration currently is up to you - if you are familiar with Jamroom templates it's no problem, but being the first release of the beta we want to focus on functionality, so please don't post any issues with integrating the templates into any other skins at this time.
The Battle module features the ability to automatically move a battle through the rounds, based on the start and end time of the battle (each round is the same length). This is actually more complicated then it sounds, and is an area we want to "test" in, so after install, watch for the battle round movement and let us know any issues you see.
[/*]The module features Payment Pack integration for charging a battle entry fee, as well as doing automatic payouts to winner(s). Right now this only works with the 'PayPal' payment system plugin - it does not work with any other payment plugin.
For those of you that already purchased the previous battle module from Moonlight coding, the new Battle module should be already unlocked for you. New purchasers will receive $10 off by purchasing it during the beta period, so please join in the testing and feedback so we can be sure this is going to work for as many systems as possible.
I hope you enjoy the new module, and I look forward to the feedback!

Make sure you enable the module from the Jamroom Config -> Jamroom modules section.

Yes - redownload from the Marketplace, and re-upload, then run an Integrity check so the table is built.

I just tested this here and don't see an issue - what is the status of the battle that is shown to the artist?

artists can see 9 battles running. As master admin I can only see view battle and delete battle immediately after creating a battle (SUCCESS! The new Battle wass successfully created!) after leaving the control panel I can never view any of the created battles as admin
NOTE* I am running this on Cobalt3 just enough template work to make it show but that shouldn't effect what I see in the battle browser of control panel though anyway right?
Thanks,
-Rob
