ArenaCTF
A Capture the Flag plugin where you pick up the wool color representing the other team, shown by visual around the wool. Once you pick it up teams are alerted and you need to bring the flag back to your base while your flag is still there. You can make more than one ctf arena and players will cycle through the different maps.
Installing
- Put the ArenaCTF.jar in your plugins folder, along with BattleArena.jar
Making a ctf arena
- /ctf create <ctf arena name>
- /ctf addFlag <ctf arena name> 1 <- add the flag for team 1
- /ctf alter <ctf arena name> 2 <- setup a second spawn
- /ctf addFlag <ctf arena name> 2 <- add the flag for team 2
- /ctf alter <ctf arena name> waitroom 1 <- add a waitroom (you can take a waitroom out by changing the config)
Joining
- /ctf join
Permission Node
- Players will need the permission node arena.join.capturetheflag
- arena.leave , so they can type /ctf leave
How do I win ?
To capture the flag you need to bring the enemy flag back to your flag at it's home. If your flag is being held by the enemy you will need to kill them and return it back ( just walk over it ).

Images

Requirements
This plugin is made to hook into BattleArena, so you also need to download it as well.
Help
- BattleArena : Wiki that has all the options available for both ArenaCTF and BattleArena
- Adding Signs : support for joining/leaving and status
- You can ask me questions in real time on irc when I'm on. You can usually find me in the rooms battleplugins, or bukkit in irc.esper.net. IRC through a browser

Posted Mar 30, 2013Is it possible to have join signs in addition to the /join command?
I want to have a central pvp hub on my sever and would love to have the players forced back to the location they hit the join sign so that they can quickly hit a different sign for a different arena.

Hey, so it's because I made the default to be a Queue, where people just join and it starts when enough people join.
If you want to make it a JoinPhase event again.
add this line in the CaptureTheFlagConfig.yml

Posted Mar 29, 2013I can't use: /ctf event any more, how can we start an event?
Everytime we do /ctf event it comes up with:
10:38:00 AM CONSOLE: [INFO] That command does not exist! /ctf for help
If we do: /ctf forceStart it says not enough teams queued

You're right, if it's getting truncated thats probably why its not working.
And yeah, I'll go ahead and consider that a win for the higher scoring team... that makes more sense anyway.
I'll check both of those out now.

Posted Mar 26, 2013That's great news concerning the alwaysJoin option. It was something I was going to ask about. I too am trying to integrate hypixel's 2fort map with this plugin, and using crackshot for guns. (Thanks again for adding thorns to the item enchants, that's how all my tf2 guns are set up in crackshot!)
Another issue I've discovered: the CTF join sign stops working after a server restart. Also, the text changes to Capturetheflag when the sign is first created, but this string is too long to fit on one line of a sign, so it's truncated to 'Capturethe'. Perhaps this is why the sign stops working after restart? The arena and paintball signs appear to still work after a server restart, it's just the ctf sign I'm having trouble with.
And finally, the scoring. I think what most people expect from a ctf game is to have a time limit and a max score. The first team to reach the max score wins instantly, ending the match, otherwise the team with the highest score when time runs out is declared the winner. Players on my server are disappointed when a game ends with a score of 0-2, and yet it is considered a draw.

Done
BattleArena v3.8.2+ has the change. I've uploaded it to bukkit but it hasnt cleared yet.
You will need to specify the option "alwaysJoin" inside of onJoin.options:
Example:
onJoin: options: [alwaysJoin]-

BattleArena/config.yml has a line called "disabledCommands". Put them inside of there, but most of the ones you mentioned are there by default.
@davepow
Check this out, it has the way to set up perms using group manager.

My bad, I'm trying to change over to different permissions (it will be backward compatible).
But it looks like the new way isnt working yet, so use the old permission

Make sure you update to the latest version of both BattleArena and ArenaCTF. Once that's done make sure the CaptureTheFlagConfig.yml has the line.
or once you've updated you can delete the CaptureTheFlagConfig.yml and it should auto create it correct.
@JadeCraftia
not sure what you mean by home. But probably you mean where the spawns are, or where the flag spawns are?
@alek123222
That is bizarre, why dont you send me your ip so I can check it out.
