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

Ok I have literally removed any plugin that possibly protect a player, but this still doesn't work, when players first spawn in the arena, they are able to attack and kill each other, however after the first death they can no longer be killed or injured at all.
Here is our CTF config http://pastebin.com/bEMETkk3
There are also no errors showing in config, and no messages displayed on screen to give any indication as to why they are no longer taking damage.
please can you take a look at our config and let me know if it is something were doing wrong or a bug
For info were using Arena CTF version 1.3.2 with version 3.9.10.4 of Battle Arena on spigot running MC 1.8.7.
We really like the Battle Arena plugin and the CTF element especially so, we have some great arenas getting ready to release to our players but we cant get around this problem so any help will be really appreciated.

Hey There,
Is there any way to make it so that there is only one game going on at a time and each game the map changes?
Thanks Bewildered
@GodsDead
No it doesn't use it YET. I already made a suggestion about that and more.
Does this not use the Built in flags yet? We have had real flags for a long time now!
@WinFamSurv
Other plugin prevention spawn killing? Essentials and Griefprevention has this build in.
@Syhedghog
With FTP go to the plugin folder. There you find a teams yml. First on list is color of first team, second on list is color of second team and so on. just use the /ctf or /battlearena commands for command list.
optional colours
I just created an arena with 4 corners decorated in red, blue, green, yellow (prime colours) but when i define each spawn point it goes red, blue, white, black, it is overwhelming ly thrustrating that there is no FULL commands list with a full list of all the arguments and its permissions (instead of just saying /ctf command <argument><argument><value>, but there isnt, and thats what makes it overwhelmingly thrustrating when i do /ctf alter <arenaname> 2..3 it would be great if i could say ctf<arenaname> 2 4 4 being a colour code so i can specify a colour
POINT: IS THERE A COMMAND TO CHAMGE THE TEAM COLOUR?
What is it?
Tested it out with a friend, doesnt seem to have any problems.
You can soon test it out on play.daylightcraft.com to see how it works! (open within a week or so)
1.8 server
Hi there, we have installed CTF arena, and everything seems to work ok until a player dies and spawn back into the arena, at this point players are unable to kill each other, can someone please let me know if were doing anything wrong, this is how we have the ctf config set up for "On Death"
onDeath: options: - teleportWaitRoom - clearInventory - respawnWithClass - hunger=20 - pvpOn
Thanks in advance. EllisWin
@minecraftman427
I just tested it on 1.8 and it works, which means that it'll also work on 1.7.9 and 1.7.10
Could you please update this to 1.7.9 or 1.7.10 because I really like this plugin and it's easy to set up, but it won't work because it is outdated.
We are currently considering adding Battle Arena 2 with the paintball and CTF extensions to our servers, but first I have a couple of questions I hope can be answered here.
Firstly are there any compatibility issues currently when running the plugins on a Spigot bungeecord servers with Minecraft version 1.8.3?
Secondly I am not familiar with the amount of customisation that is available with these plugins, so I wanted to know If I can incorporate a paintball match into a CTF arena/match so I can effectively have Paintball CTF matches?

Players don't spawn with wool heads until they die once after selecting their class through signs .
I'm having a problem with the config for this plugin... We have a phantom class with invisibility, but the colored name tags allow players to see them... Is there any way to remove the colored tags?
Thanks in advance!
Hi, I have a problem. Whenever I do /ctf create [map name] it says You can't choose an arena type as an arena name. Please reply as soon as possible.
Hey, Looking forward to a update! :) (spigot user) haha Had great times in the CTF arena! Maybe do somthing with banner on head? would be funny (optional) Also, had some issues with the kits. they somtimes got confused and did not give the right items. like a kit suppose to have wood sword was given a diamond. :O all run hes op xD Hope you fix that to, but guess its a spigot thing :(
Thanks!
RIP this plugin. Taken too soon. In all seriousness, I love this plugin and I'm excited for an update. Hopefully we'll have one sometime in the next month.
@Zach443
Awesome, Can't wait. Finally bit the bullet and put the BA suite on our system and now it's our biggest hit. Was just about to add CTF and noticed your comment on updating. Patiently (sort of) and anxiously awaiting the news :)
Thanks for all your great work guys!
I have begun on the update for this plugin; stay tuned for an update!
@Zach443
hi, i wonder if my problems are coming from the "left behind" or any of my other plugins biting with arenactf... running bukkit 1.7.9-r3
i setup a ctf arena, we can join over the signs, all fine, but we cant capture the flag. to be more precise: the flag-stand spawns wool and has the aura, but you can pickup tons of that wool without getting the aura yourself, plus you cant score with the wool.
hope for a quick help to this, as i would like to have a ctf open on my server :)
greetings and thanks for all the work :)
