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
Do you know a time when it'll be officially released? Also are all of the features functioning enough for a live server?
@NegroBob
No Jenkins, but I have a github account where I keep most dev builds.

Is there a Jenkins to get the dev build?
You make the best arena plugins I know of. Looking forward to CTF!!
It should be out soon for testing. The jar is has been up, just waiting for the bukkit people to clear it!
Good luck finishing it. I can't wait! I'm also available for testing.
Hey if you are looking for testers I can test this plugin on my server
Ok bye
Okay, you are officially the god of plugins. I've been looking for a CTF plugin for so long. Can't wait for the release!
@Redstoner_Pro
The flag is an entity on the ground (specified by whatever is inside BattleArena/teamHeads.yml). The entity is marked by visual flames that constantly surround it.
The release should be whenever bukkit clears the jar (hopefully soon)!
@Dysthymical
This should work much better than the github version, which was beta, but don't be surprised if there are still kinks to work out (but usually I can fix things fast).
Quick questions. How are the flag locations marked? As in, is the flag simply a block of wool placed on the ground as a block, or as an entity on the ground.? When do you think the release will be? Cant wait to test this out.
I'll try this out with my community whenever I get home. Tried it when it was just started on GitHub and barely worked. Looks like this has advanced pretty well, good work!
yay cant wait for release ;D
