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 ).

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
@alkarinv, will do and thanks.

Please try updating to 3.7.7.2. I spent a bunch of time debugging this very issue. :)
Let me know if it doesnt work, and I'll continue the debugging process !
We're seeing more weirdness:
I haven't updated to the latest battlearena jar yet. We're still at 3.6.7.9.1.
@SebawpBronkx
Really sorry, first there is a system in place for restoring inventory.
For some reason bukkit does not want to update BattleArena... a fix for this has been out for a long time, please use this.

@tarahere81
So turns out this is a BattleArena issue, version 3.7.6.8+ has the fix. Until bukkit clears the jar you can find it here.

@tarahere81
I'll come on in like an hour or 2 to figure it out :(
Still having issues with this on our server.. one point everyone that joined would be on the same team for no reason... so it cancelled..
Then it looked like it was about to work the next attempt and this happened: http://pastebin.com/3Zu4zagu
players were stuck in the wait room and unable to leave again .... then they started being able to fight each other in there ....... a punching brawl started!!!!!!!
2012-12-03 01:57:14 [INFO] tara81 issued server command: /broadcast &6STOP FIGHTING OR BE BANNED
it was kinda scary o O!!!!
I tried to do /arena cancel all and we got more errors... Some players managed to escape somehow after about 5 tries of cancelling the match and they lost their items so i restored about 6 player inventories -.-

@rbonafied
Yeah, PM me your server ip, I'd like to see the joining/leaving issues.
Thanks. By the way, I'll be glad to help you test if that helps. I can also PM u our server if you need to see anything.
@rbonafied
So I think I have a fix for the event signs not working.
https://github.com/downloads/alkarinv/BattleArena/BattleArena.jar
Should have the fix. Should also have a fix for the woolheads problem.
As for the not finishing correctly, not sure, maybe people aren't getting removed correctly after events. I'll look into it.
more feedback
Awesome!
Just a little feedback: Using the latest jar of ctf, when woolheads is on and a player gets killed, when they respawn their woolhead isn't on anymore.
@rbonafied
Yeah, that will have to be a future update, i like the idea.
Thanks, alkarinv!
Is it possible to have a sign that shows the score as the game is running?
@rbonafied
You don't need to have the spawn points at the same place as the where the flag lives. For example you can put the flag at the top of a pyramid and the spawns down below if you want.
