Race Games
Race Games let's you create horse, pig and foot tracks, each with several spawns, checkpoints, respawnblocks and a finishline. There are no other plugins needed to use this plugin and it's very easy to setup a race. During a race a scoreboard shows the player's personal record and the track record. At the end of a race rewards, like money and items, can be given to specific positions.
During the race players can reach checkpoints where they will respawn when they touch a respawnblock. (e.g. when people fall off into water during the race, they will respawn at their last checkpoint). When a player finishes his/her time will be broadcasted to all the other racers and their personal record and the track record may get updated. When all players are finished, the name and finishtime of the fastest racer will be broadcasted to all racers. If configured, rewards are given.
This plugin can be used for foot races, horse races, pig races, mazes, parkours, etc.
How it works
- A player joins the game with '/rg join' and will get teleported to the lobby.
- When the minimum amount of players to to auto-start is reached or when the command '/rg start' is executed, the voting will start.
- The track that got the most votes will be the next track.
- The players will be teleported to the spawns of the chosen track. If there aren't enough spawns, some players will get kicked.
- A countdown will start and all the players will be frozen.
- When the countdown reaches 0 all the players will be unfrozen and the race starts. If the track is a horse/pig track, the players will get mounted on a horse/pig.
- When checkpoints are used, the players will be able to reach new checkpoints.
- When a player touches a respawnblock they will get teleported back to their last checkpoint.
- When all players are finished, the race will be over and the winner will be broadcasted.
Setup
- Type: '/rg setlobbyspawn' - This will set the lobby spawn to your current location.
- Type: '/rg createtrack <trackname> [horse/pig/foot]' - This will create and select a new track. You can choose: make it a foot track or a horse track.
- Type: '/rg addstart' - This will add your current location as a start to the selected track. Repeat the command to add as many spawns as you like.
- Create a finishline/block. By default a redstoneblock is used to finish a player. Let players run on the finishblock at the finish to stop their personal time.
- Check the config. Modify the config to match your personal interests. Set the minimum players needed, the duration of the countdown, etc
- Type: '/rg reload' - This will reload the config.yml and save the changes you made.
- OPTIONAL - Create checkpointblocks to let the players reach checkpoints. Goldblock by default.
- OPTIONAL - Create respawnblocks to teleport players back to their last checkpoint. Water by default.
- That's it, enjoy racing!

Signs
Things you should know
Race Games checks for new updates and alerts admins if one is found. You can disable this by opening the RaceGames/config.yml file in your plugins folder and set "update" to "false".
To determine popularity and usage of Race Games plugin installs are automatically tracked by the Metrics plugin tracking system. Your Java version, OS, player count, server country location and plugin & server versions are collected. This is used to determine what environments are using the plugin to ensure full compatibility. This collection is anonymous. If you don't want this tracking, edit plugins/PluginMetrics/config.yml and set "opt-out" to "true".
When the creator of this plugin joins the server you'll notice because of a small custom message, so I can help you right away!

@Bikkel007
Hey.. its 5 days ago... i cant wait on the new Version of the plugin! Its very Awesome! *-*
@Patrick1005deMC
Version 4.3.1 is an old version and I recommend you don't use it any longer. I just uploaded V5.0 which not only contains some awesome new features but it will also fix the errors you showed me.
Please give Bukkit a few days to accept this new version. In the meantime check out the new features >>here<<
I have this Error in my console...

@Bikkel007
Bikkel - I missed the ticket fix that was posted from Vennomer before. I copied that config and it worked so mine likely had the same errors. Thanks again. Working now!
@flapjack1968
I will come up with a fix for this in the next update.
@VENOMMER
Venommer - Did you ever figure this out? I am running into the same issue. When I start my server, it throws off errors and refuses to load the config.yml because a symbol is used. Even when I replace with ยง, it refuses to load. I can delete the symbol completely and it will load, but then no prices can be given at the end of the race. Ideas?
@Bikkel007
Just made a tutorial video which will be out tomorrow afternoon. While you will get errors in your console, this plugin does work in 1.7.9 with bukkit or spigot.
@Victhetiger
I didn't test it on 1.7.9. so you should test it yourself.
Does it work on 1.7.9?
@VENOMMER
Please open a ticket and upload your config.yml.
@Bikkel007
I tried the "ยง" symbol in front of the number. For example ยง1 ยง2 ยง3, but it didn't work. The first time I used the plugin and went to the config file, I saw a symbol replaceing the "ยง" one.
" ? "

@TWSSYesterday
It's done. You can change the plugin prefix in the next version. Coming soon.
@VENOMMER Did you set rewardcommands to true? Your config should look like this:
Make sure you don't use a '/' in front of the command.
In the config file, I can't manage to give rewards to players! Can anyone copy and paste the "code" for the name of players. For example, /give [code] diamond 5
@Bikkel007
Would be pretty sweet if you can change the prefix.
@Jaaakee224
There is a messages.yml file to change most of the messages. The prefix can't be changed. I may add this later.
@Bikkel007
In the configuration, you should add an ability to change the messages/prefixes.
@DiverseCraft
I got it to work. It will be added to the V4.3.1 (Coming in 2 to 3 days)
@DiverseCraft
I will see if I can work on that. I had some troubles adding this before since other plugins can still teleport you to the spawn (like Essentials does).
@kingmonkeycrafter
I am working on an update right now. Make sure the WorldGuard flag mob-spawning / animal-spawning aren't disabled.
@thomasklein123
Wait for the update.
Can you make it so when a player dies they return to start or checkpoint?
