First Id like to thank you for this plugin, my server absolutely enjoys it! I appreciate the creativity it enables me and my team access to!
I have been immersing myself in BattleArena, ArenaPaintball, and Arena Spleef, and finally I am at a rather proficient point in using it from an administrative standpoint. Like other users I have found no videos to assist me with development, so I am creating and releasing a series of tutorials that should assist the rest of the community; I will post them here as I complete them.
I have one suggestion for you that, though minor, may assist players greatly. I suggest reversing the join command to better accomodate the game types and dependant plugins in this fashion:
/join pb, /join arena, join bg, etc, as opposed to /pb join, /arena join, /bg join etc.
Placing the gametype as the parameter would also allow you to adjust the permissions a bit, which would make permissions a bit more tidy; groups could be given the perm arena.join.* and have access to all gamemodes.
Just my 2 cents. Im looking forward to contributing to your work!

Factions doesnt have a way to disable power loss through code, but you can make an arena a Warzone, which will prevent power loss.

What plugins are you using? When a player logs back on after they die and quit the following should happen.
I'll check to see if it's a bug on my end, but it sounds like a plugin conflict (if it is I can make a workaround).

Posted Oct 21, 2012Hey. I just found a glitch that allows players to glitch items into the game in the server has a creative world, and I am curious if you know of a fix. If a player enters the arena from the creative world, it saves their inventory on the creative world. Normally it would teleport the player back to the creative world and everything would be working fine. However if the player logs off after they die by without respawning, when they log back in they are placed at their bed with all of the items they had from the creative world.

Alright, I'll consider this to be high priority. I don't really have time tonight, but tomorrow I have time to take a good look at what's going on. I can't think of what class selection would be doing, but that sounds pretty solid, I'll check it out closely.

We had a crash a few moments ago on the second a BG started, v3.6.9.7. First time this's happened to us though so I don't have any details. No errors, just a freeze
EDIT: Okay so it happened again:
Then connection reset etc.
Notably, Matixpulse was in both matches, the battleground did not crash immediately. Also my client actually crashed when it happened. Some mods are suspicious it's the class selection that's causing the crash
EDIT EDIT: Okay it seems that choosing a class, then choosing another class is causing the freeze.

Hey atomic, I'll be releasing it later, probably tomorrow. but here is a version of BattleArena that you can stop item drops/throws.
https://github.com/downloads/alkarinv/BattleArena/BattleArena.jar
What you will need to do is add the option dropItemOff into the sections where you don't want them to drop items.

Hey Brian, check out this page, this should lead you through setting up your first arena. The wiki that netherfoam gave is a good place to go as well. Also when that isn't complete definitely ask here. Whenever someone has issue with a section I try to explain it more fully in the wiki.

@tarahere81
I need to make a note about this, or you can update to v3.6.9.7, which fixes it. I don't know how I managed to but for one version I broke the item parsing for items that aren't labeled completely correctly.

To avoid item sharing you can also try using world guard to region the area (if you have it that is)
Then type /region flag [regionname] blocked-cmds tpa =) so that dude cannot accept the request for teleport

I'll definitely write an option for no dropping/throwing items for sure, I'm going out for the night but should be in tomorrow.
I don't know what you mean by users arrive dead for spleef, never heard of that problem before. Can you paste me your spleefconfig, otherwise I can't think of a reason that would kill people on entering.
@papand13
Inside the defaultOptions: there should be a section that has announcements:. You should change it to look like the below config. If it's not there you can add it in.
defaultOptions: announcements: onPreStart: [ dontannounce ] onStart: [ dontannounce ] onVictory: [ dontannounce ]
