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

So, I did /ctf reload, and:
The command /ctf join works, but the signs...are still giving me the "The arena (arenaname) doesn't match my join requirements." :(

You will not have to recreate any arenas. It was just a couple of lines of code that didnt put people back in the matches properly, nothing to do with arenas or configs.
As for the non matching, I'm pretty sure just a /spleef reload, or a real reload will work.

Does this mean i'll have to recreate all of my arenas? (I put the new battlearena.jar in there (deleted the old one and the folder too), and every time I try to join a game, it just says that it doesn't match my join requirements.
(I went through both configs, they are exactly identical :\)

Sorry for your problems, I'm sure it had to do with the buggy version of BattleArena I accidentally released, I sent you both a pm.
@yoyogamesdragon871
I sent you a pm as well

Yes. Create a sign, on the 1st line, type ctf, the 2nd line type join, on the 3rd line type the name of the ctfarena :)
@GreenIguana7
Having the same problem as well, my people can only play my arena once, and then when they do it a 2nd time, the match never starts, because it says the arena is still in use. Plz tell us how to fix it :'(
[EDIT] Also, sometimes, I get an odd error where it tells people in the last game to use /null leave, and the only way to join a game again is to relog, since /null leave doesn't work :|

Hey. Yeah. I found a MUCH better plugin than this. You will NOT need BattleArena either. It's called UltimateArena. Also includes MobArena, King of the Hill and anything else.

That's the same exact problem I'm having! I thought I was going crazy. If anyone can explain how to fix this, I'd be forever in their debt.

Posted Jul 26, 2013On my question about "In the config.yml file there is 'capturesToWin'. Is there any way to make this item different between different CTF arenas on the same server?"
What I'm thinking is that for my regular CTF arena I'd like to keep it at the default of three captures to win but on the customized game I want it to be just one capture to win.

Posted Jul 26, 2013When I play a game, it works perfect and it says 59 seconds until game starts. But after that game, when someone joins, all it does is say "Your gamemode has been updated". You can pick a class via the signs, but the game never starts. Then if you do /ctf leave and try to rejoin, it says you are stuck in the queue, type /null leave which isn't a command.... The only way we can play again is by doing a /reload. Help?

1) No, what are you thinking? maybe I can put it in
2) Effects are client side, make sure you have the particle effects turned on ( there are no perms or anything)
3) You can make custom game types with it. Make sure you have this in your new game config
gameType: CaptureTheFlag arenaClass: CaptureTheFlag-

Posted Jul 22, 2013Three things.
1 Question - In the config.yml file there is 'capturesToWin'. Is there any way to make this item different between different CTF arenas on the same server?
2 The flame effects shown in the screenshots have never appeared for me. Is there a permission or a certain video setting needed for those?
3 Is there a way to make a custom game using the arenaClass: CTFArena and a custom arena type? I've done this with the arena classes from BattleArena but when I try to do so with CTFArena I get an error ArenaClass KingOfTheLadder not found (yeah, trying to use this to run king of the ladder). Of course I don't have KingOfTheLadder in the ArenaClass in the yml, I have it as the arenaType and CTFArena as the arenaClass as per BattleArena's instructions.

Yeah, i'll see if I can make the wiki more clear, I'll also add it to this page.
@CaptainKPT7
Do you happen to use a pluginmanager to load/reload? Usually this problem comes from those, and is cured whenever you next restart. If that doesn't fix it let me know, but I'm 99% sure thats the problem.

Posted Jul 21, 2013So I created an arena a while ago, and players were telling me that it says no arena is built when they try to join the game. I type /arena list all and it says that the arena exists. It did the same with spleef one or two times, then I fixed it, and it just keeps on doing it.

Hey KingPyro, Usually that error comes from when you use a reload, or if you use a pluginmanager to unload and load a plugin.
Wait until the next restart and I bet it works! :)
