War

War - Minecraft PVP Arenas (TDM, CTF & more!)
Version: v1.9
War lets you create warzones, arenas that host team deathmatch and capture-the-flag battles.
Features:
As a player, you get a fast-paced PVP experience in SMP.
- Join a battle by entering through the warzone lobby. There is one gate per team (team diamond, gold or iron): step in to join that team.
- Your inventory is saved when you join a battle, and restored when you exit.
- When you die inside a warzone, you get instantly teleported back to your spawn, and one life is taken from your team's life pool. When that pool runs out, the other teams score a point!
- Steal the enemy team flag to score for your team.
- Fight over monuments, control points that, when captured, restore health to your teammates.
- Return the cake home to score a point for your team and refill your life pool.
- Capture the bomb and run for your enemy's spawn to blow it up. Careful! If you get attacked at close range you'll blow up.
As a warzone maker, you have total control.
- Take advantage cool landscape features or existing player-build structures and incorporate them in new warzones.
- Tons of options: friendly-fire, auto-assign, turn off PVP outside warzones, define respawn loadouts specific to each zone, and more!
War lets you keep mayhem contained in the warzones.
- All the blocks in a zone are reset at the end of every battle.
- Players are prevented from entering or leaving a zone - except through the designated warzone lobby - by a magic glass wall.
- A warhub can be created to link all your zones together.

Posted Jun 25, 2012I tried all 3 of those... None seemed to help at all. The second anyone joins any war game, this spams the console:
[WARNING] Can't keep up! Did the system time change, or is the server overloaded? [WARNING] Can't keep up! Did the system time change, or is the server overloaded?
And continues until everyone leaves. Usually i just have to restart server though, otherwise it just crashes.

I was getting a few lock-ups on my server as well, so I put together a new dev build:
http:ci.tommytony.com/job/War/83/
Please let me know if that helps with your performance/lag/lockup issues. Thanks for the heads up!
@VauthierLoL
See http:war.tommytony.com/instructions. It's "/zonecfg loadout:default" while holding the inventory you want.
@KoBro12 @mistrae
Per-player lifepool is definitely interesting. Also people really want a last-man standing and last-team standing kind of thing, along with proper free-for-all and domination (with the existing monuments probably). Needs.. more.. gamemodes! :D
@ArttuJarvinen
Just make sure you have the latest SpoutPlugin version installed (with Craftbukkit 1.2.5, use SpoutPlugin 1212 from http:get.spout.org). There's no configuration settings for it, yet, unfortunately.

Posted Jun 23, 2012Ok, today for some reason I am getting MASSIVE lag whenever players join, and noone can play now. Once someone joins a game, the server crashes. This hasnt happened ever before, just started about 15 minutes ago. HOWEVER, a plugin called dynamiceconomy also said it has a newer version out, a bit before that. HAve no clue if that has anything to do with it.

Posted Jun 21, 2012Hey, I recently got War and it keeps telling me the Warzone is too small. I made a flat, open one that was about 44 blocks on each side and it keeps telling me its less than 10. Same when I made a Warzone that was about 100 blocks on every side. Im also not allowed to make teams.

Posted Jun 20, 2012HI,
My name is Noggin and me and a friend built a massive pvp arena that has very specific needs. We think war will work for us, but we're having trouble getting the configuration we want. If anybody is willing you to help, you can add me on skype at noggin291 or pm me on mc forum under the same name, or of course respond here. Here's what we need to know how to do:
move the portals in a lobby/get rid of the lobby altogether. We built two spawn areas already for each team and we want people to walk to them in order to learn the rules of our game. portals and a lobby are not really necessary. another option would be to have 2 portals per team, one in a lobby that we wont use and one that we can place anywhere
make war work with the minigame aspect of our arena (can war execute a command for stepping on a pressure pad, for example). the goal of the game is to get to the other team's base 3 times, and trigger 3 separate switches. Once that happens, we want war to end the round and start a new one (its a bit like reverse ctf to be honest). I built a redstone lamp contraption that lights up when this occurs and it would be a shame to not use it.
to see our specific needs, pm me on skype or mc forums. thanks for your time
