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
