SurvivalArena
Description
SurvivalArena is a Hunger Games plugin built on the BattleArena API, therefore, BattleArena is required to be installed in order to use this plugin.
This is by far, the easiest, Hunger/Survival Games plugin to setup, with no config file editing at all. Everything can be done in game.

- Configurable Grace Period (No PVP) on game start
- Configurable sudden death mode on last number of players, and or, last minutes of game
- Lightning effect on players remaining in sudden death
- Add chests to be populated in game with item_sets (No config file editing)
- Create item_sets in game (No config file editing)
- Each item in an item_set can have a % chance of spawning
- Create Arenas in your existing world, or run fully automated on a separate server
- Multi World and Multi Arenas support with per Arena settings
- Rollback chests at end of game
- Automatically add chests based on a WorldEdit selection
Requirements
Installing
- Download and put the SurvivalArena.jar into your plugins folder along with BattleArena.jar and WorldGuard.jar
- Restart your server
Creating a Survival Arena
Create the Arena
- Stand on the first Spawn Point you want and type /sa create <arena name>
- Stand on each of your remaining Spawn Points and type /sa alter <arena name> # (Starting with 2)
- Select a WorldGaurd region for your arena and type /sa alter <arena name> addregion
Create an Item Set
- Place items into a chest that you want to be in the item set
- Type /sa additemset <arena name> <item_set name>
- Left click the chest to create and save the item set (You can create as many item sets as you wish)
- Note that items default to a 100% chance of spawning
Set items to spawn randomly
- First type /sa showitemset <arena name> <item_set name> this will show you a list of items prefixed with an index number
- Type /sa setchance <arena name> <item_set name> <index number> <chance> where <chance> is a percentage, such as 10, 50, 77, etc
Adding Chests to the Arena
Manually
- Place chests where ever you want in your Arena
- Type /sa addchests <arena name> <item_set name>
- Left click each chest that you want to be populated with <item_set name>
- To change to another item_set, type /sa addchests <arena name> <item_set name>
- When you are done adding chests, type /sa addchests <arena name> done
Automatically
- Create a WorldEdit region covering the area of chests you want to auto assign an item_set to
- Type /sa autochests <arena name> <item_set> <clear>
Where <clear> is either 0, or 1, depending on if you want to clear the contents of the chests being added to the <item_set>. This is useful if you already have an existing Survival/Hunger Games plugin that does not clear the contents of the chests at the end of the game.
Joining an Arena
- /sa join
Configuration Options
Grace Period: With this option you can set the number of seconds at the beginning of the match where there is no PVP, allowing players to grab items from the chests at Spawn.
- /sa set <arena name> graceperiod <seconds>
Sudden Death Players: With this option you can set the number of players remaining in the match to start the lightning effect which will pin point each players location.
- /sa set <arena name> suddendeathplayers <#>
Permissions
Players will need the following permission nodes
- arena.sa.join
- arena.leave
Help
- Post a comment below with your question
- I can usually be found on IRC in #battleplugins. IRC through a browser
Perfect :D I'm using this to make giant PvP matches with custom kits in BattleArena :D
can this plugin plezz being updated to 1,8,3 ????
I like this plugin and I'm missing it to a server. and it must be 1,8,3 so that I can use it. so plezz Update it for 1,8,3
The chests aren't spawning and the files are in the arena config. Please help .Thanks
Please Update :/
I'm confused on how the percentages work. often when we have a game (after altering the percentages from 100) one or two items spawn repeatedly in almost all the chests, even if it has a low percentage. We tried changing it so all the percentages added up to 100, but that made a lot of chests have nothing. Also, why does only 1 item (sometimes two) spawn per chest instead of, say, 4 or 5? please help, I don't want to have to use a different Survival Games plugin
HOW TO SET UP REWARDS
for example i want to give 10 diamonds who ever wins SA game
you know if this plugn work with 1.7.5? also item chest work? For now i just created a workaround with battlearena...
Can u help me please: i was create an Item Set but after restart server plugin can't find my item sets. At chat is: 'There is no item_set: myitemset". No errors. I'm use Spigot #1387. Thanks!
For me, it seems only one item spawns in each chest, and its usually hte one with the highest chance. Can we have it so a number of items can spawn?
I setup all of the chests under the same itemSet, i now have one of my staff members configuring them all to individual item sets to see if that will be any better, but it'd be nice if this was built in.
Also, the grace feature never turned off, it would say it ends in 30 seconds or so, but it never does.
Edit: got around the grace feature by turning off pvp onJoin/onPreStart, setting the matchstarttime to 30 seconds, then setting pvpOn in onStart
@keehl254
I got it to work after that, but the chests are still spawning blank after adding the item set to the chest
When i try to do something like the addchests command, it says that the item set does not exist. It does exist though...It is even in the config.yml...
"Add an item set for Outer first!"
I have tried restarting the server too..Help?
config:
Is this plugin functional with spigot 1.7.5?
Second issue:
After I use /sa alter <game> addregion ba-hungergame
There is a memory leak or something. My server's CPU pegs at 100% and RAM climbs every second until 100% and then the server crashes.
After the server starts up again, the created arena is gone.
any help would be appreciated.
Plugin is great! But I'm having a problem with users accessing chests.
I set the region flag for chest-access to allow but they still cannot access the chests.
Any clue?
Thanks
Need more items support (potions), file languages and more documentation... Please update this plugin!
Ok I sorted the tracker thing, I should have been using [survivalarena] not [sa]
I just have the issues with items not dropping and also I can't seem to get the match start time to increase so that everyone has a chance to join.
Love this plugin and also BattleArena and BattleTracker :-D
How do I get BattleTracker working with SurvivalArena? If I start a sign with [SA] is says 'Tracker database SA not found'
Also @Brewersfan99 how did you resolve the item drop thing?
Thanks in advance :)
Hi
1. An cool feature would be, to detect the chest in the area dynamic, so it dose not need any hardcoded entrys in the config. 2. An Option to autogenerate chest on different places after eg. every match, so people can't remember where they are. 3. An option to set how many chest to autogenerate. By me it only generates 4 and i want more.

There is join signs, you should type [sa] in the fist line. and "join" in the second line.
to show up the players that are in the game you should specify the Arena name in the third line, however if you don't type the Arena name in the third line the sign will still work. but it will join the player in a random arena.
chears, Dave
Is there a "join signs" plugin for Battle Arena that I'm missing? I would like a basic join sign like Survival Games or The Walls Minigame... It doesn't have to have the players listed like on SG, but a basic Join Sign with something like "Players 5/16" or something would be great.
Anything like that exist?
