That would be great.
You can specify blockBreakOff in any section which will disable the players from breaking blocks while in the arena. That won't protect the arena at all times though, If you want it protected at all times I would use world guard. I do hook into world guard but I don't auto protect for people ( some people want matches where you can break the arena and it gets reset).
If you really don't want to use WorldGuard let me know and I can work something out with you to protect the area.
@Xarniia
Right now it's PvP only. PvE is something I want to do and plan on doing fairly soon. My goal for enhancements is . 1) allow multiple victory conditions 2) add a victory condition which is based off of killing particular mobs or number of mobs.

ok I will get one designed up. It might take a week or so, depends on how much time I have.
Just a side question....say I create an enclosed FFA arena. What tool or command is used to stop people from breaking the arena blocks? do I have to use world guard? sorry for the dumb question. I am coming from PvP Arena which uses a cuboid system and auto protects the arena. Thanks so much for the info and the great plugin!

BattleTracker can use MySQL and SQLite. Just change it to MySQL and you can upload it anywhere :)

Posted Nov 2, 2012Hey a while back I saw a link or plugin that allows for stats. I noticed battle tracker but the one I was thinking about used MYSQL so you would be able to post stats on a website.
It even had a sample PHP web end interface
Any idea what I am talking about? lol

For the rating you will need BattleTracker. It does all the database backend stuff, and you can configure it so that its strictly a backend for BattleArena.

You can go inside the options and make that 6 seconds whatever you want. Either go to
defaultOptions: secondsTillMatch: 30 # <- set to however many seconds you wantor add the option into whichever one you want
skirmish: secondsTillMatch: 30Right now there is no ready option. But I'll see if I can add that into the matches. That way if everyone is ready before the secondsTillMatch: time expires they will play immediately.

Posted Nov 2, 2012I've seen on youtube an arena, if they spawn into the waitroom they choose a class and hit the Iron block? havnt seen that option anywhere. But the Vid's name included "BattleArena".
I managed to setup an arena with a waitroom (bg to be exact) but they've just 6seconds to pick a class... Thats the actuall reason why im asking for any type of "Ready Up" Option.
Thanks help

No it shouldn't use a lot of memory, but really it depends on what you mean. The file size is 800k and I haven't done an exact memory requirement but I would say that a baseline it takes 1M of memory and I believe each match takes 250k. So in total that should be less than 2-5M of memory. I'll do some profiling though to find more exact numbers (i like that sort of thing).
@Veleno92RF
Enchant list: do you mean potion effects or item enchants? All of them are supported
@xSlickZz
What do you mean ready up? Explain a bit and I'll try to put it in.

I'll get in contact with you and we can figure out whats going on. Though in the future you can just pm me any contact details :)
Some of this sounds like either enhancements that I should make, possible a bug in there. I'll work it out with you.

Posted Nov 1, 2012@alkarinv:
I've recently setup a server with close to 15 maps that we've got BA, PB, & Spleef running. We are running into a few issues with automation of Arena's, DM's, FFA's, PB, & Spleef's at the same time. We'd like to configure it to allow each type of Battle to Occur in Separate Schedulers as we have numerous maps designated to each type of battle. Currently something is wrong in the config because there are scheduled items for all, however you can only join DM. Long story short, I'd be willing to make a donation if you can aid in the initial configuration of the your plugin. Please contact me velasdad@gmail.com

You can make as many arenas of any type as you want, it will use them in order and allows multiple games to be played at once.
@briankdk
Dygnity made a youtube setup guide, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6E-q_w7tOM . So that might help you out.
Otherwise these should be the commands to set up a basic arena match.
That should be it to start out. (EDIT: I see that you already have made some)
As for the requests.
People should alternate between the arenas, so if you have 4 set up. It should work like this.
Anyway, explain a bit more and I'm sure I can add it in!
