Capture the Record Rules:

• Two teams, gold team and green team, these teams correspond to the colours of the records
• Both teams are allocated spawn areas and a radius, in which the record can be placed and captured, each spawn area is automatically given a chest, called the team chest.
• The team chest cannot be accessed until the game starts, it contains the record for that team
• Creepers are disabled (optional)
• Items cannot be brought to or from the game world (except to and from the nether)
• Non ops cannot build before the game starts (unless given the ctr.world.allowedit permission)
• You can't enter the nether with a record
• You can't drop your record
• You can't leave your spawn area with your record
• When the game starts both teams have an pre allocated length of time to build defences, this is called the build time, during this:
  • PVP is disabled
  • You cannot enter the other teams spawn area
  • You cannot use chests within the spawn area of the other team
  • You cannot edit blocks inside the other teams spawn area
  • Chests can only be used above water level and within your spawn area, while holding a record, this prevents people hiding records far underground or very far away
  • If your record isn't in a chest in the spawn area when the time expires, you lose
• After this time expires, both teams have a pre allocated length of time to capture the other team's record, this is called the capture time, during this:
  • PVP is enabled
  • Using the other team's record in a jukebox, which is in your spawn area, wins the game! (Or using the shared jukebox, this is up to you)
  • If the time elapses it's a draw
  • You can enter the other teams spawn, destroy blocks, place blocks, open chests etc

Features:

• Adding a new world to be used as the game world
• Using a pre-existing world as the game world
• Regenerating large areas of the world, so you can restart from scratch after a game
• Prevents cross team chat during a game, except via a specific command
• Prevents most command use except specific commands during games
• Ignores actions performed in worlds other than the game world
• Seperating users into two teams, gold and green
• Set the respawn locations for the two teams, including a team chest where the appropriate colour record is automatically added
• Respawns are team specific
• Teleporting between the home and game world
• Enforces all of the game rules listed above
• Configurable, with more options being added
• Permissions support
• Create bedrock walled areas to build in (as in CTR 1 and CTR 2)
• Put green/gold wool blocks on people's heads for team identification

Changelog:
Version 0.89

• Various bugfixes around logging out
• Option to put green/gold wool on players heads for team identification
• Option to allow pvp in build time - may be buggy
• Config file now auto updates with new options (hopefully)
• Other bugfixes, I forget exactly what

Version 0.87

• Fixed saved inventory being overwritten with a blank one when teleporting from the home world
• Fixed setting no items to spawn in the team chest causing an error

Version 0.86 - quite a hefty one

• Added the /bedrockwall command, this makes a bedrock wall from water level to sky with it's corners at the two places you select with your iron bar (left click and right click) The base is smooth stone, the record can't be placed below or on the same level as that smooth stone. Another bedrock wall splits it into two 'rooms', this dividing wall is turned to glass at the end of the build time to allow people to get to each other's walls. Please note that when selecting the corners you don't have to dig up or down to get the walls to the right height as it is a fixed height.
• Added the /resetbedrockwall command, this resets the bedrock wall area you have previously selected, use this after a server restart, to repair the area after a game or after regenerating the surroundings.
• Added the /setjukebox command, this sets a jukebox as the single shared jukebox that both teams must use to win the game
• Added the /ctrhelp command, this lists the commands in this plugin along with a description of what each command does
• Added the autosort team config option, when set to true, it automatically sorts players into teams when they login and teleports them to their spawn, providing the gameworld is set.
• Added the wall protection config option, when set to true, this allows the bedrock walls set with /bedrockwall to be used as extensions of the team's spawn areas, the plugin will try to work out which side of the dividing wall belongs to which team.
• Added the creepers on config option, when set to true creepers will spawn as normal.
• Added the single jukebox config option, when set to true you can only win through the use of a single shared jukebox which is set with /setjukebox
• The game world is now automatically reloaded over server restarts
• The team's spawn locations, the shared jukebox location and the last selected bedrock wall area are saved over server restarts
• Due to the movement events being broken by the latest bukkit version, movement restriction now teleports you back to your team's spawn rather than stopping you moving
• You can no longer leave your spawn area while holding your team's record
• You can no longer drop your team's record
• You can now place chests outside your spawn area, but cannot use them while holding a record. This allows you to do things like create weapon caches away from your base
• You can't use a nether portal in the game world while holding a record
• When leaving the nether, having travelled there from the game world, you will be taken back to the portal you entered by, not the home world.
• You can take and leave with items to and from the nether and game worlds.
• Teleporting to the game world from the nether won't clear your inventory, if you entered the nether via the game world
• Teleporting to other worlds from the nether, having entered through the game world, will correctly restore your original inventory
• Teleporting to the game world from other worlds will now correctly save and clear your inventory
• Respawning no longer has a delay
• Made as compatible as possible with 1.7.2, warning may still be some bugs, try to report them where possible

Version 0.84

• Added world backup and recovery
• Fixed inventory saving glitches
• Added a config file, with a few options (thanks to xtre for the idea of a max travel distance, warning creates a wall of bedrock, use with care!)
• Added the /jointeam command which automatically assigns a team to you (thanks Joy)
• Added the /teamlist command which lists team members in each team (thanks Joy)
• Items are added to the team chest at the beginning of every new game
• Fixed chests not being able to be opened during a CTR game, in other worlds (thanks embty)
• Made /joingreen and /joingold require the ctr.teams.joincustom permission instead of ctr.teams.join, equivalent done with ctr.other.teams.join

Version 0.81

• Fixed a bug where using some commands from the console would error
• Made /leaveteam automatically teleport you to the home world
• Reduced debug output to the console

Version 0.8

• Added permissions support!

Version 0.7

• Fixed a bug where your inventory could be lost when teleporting out of the game world, with a teleport not included in the mod.
• Make a team lose if their record isn't in a chest, in their spawn area by the end of the build time, or draw if neither team has.

Version 0.6

• Updated to take advantage of bug fixes in craftbukkit 860

Version 0.5

• Beta release

 

a feature i would like, would be the use of a compass to point in the direction of the other teams chest. not the record, just chests...or their spawn point.

Is that possible?

also there is a conflict with Herochat...the /leave command is overwritten by herochat

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

I can add an option for the compass to point to the other team's spawn, that's very possible. Also /leave is simply a shortened version of /leaveteam which does the same thing, I will add a /leavet alternative as well

 

What can players build with if they cant get items to game world? do i have to fill a chest for them all the time or ?

 

they have to do it all from scratch. spawning anything makes the game less fun

I have done 2 play throughs so far and had more fun preparing than playing.

The scheming is fun. Now if only there was a way to get tnt!!!

 

When teleproting to team area ur inventory gets full of enemy team records and the moment u move it gets refilled again with records.

 

I don't think that's a glitch with this plugin, I have never had anything like this happen before, and I don't believe I ever add anything to people's inventory when in the game world, only when teleporting home

 

Ok the bug was gone when i reinstalled the plugin. But now when I start the game the other worlds cant open chests due to CTF game sarted.
And when the building time expires no pvp is enabled.

 

Is PVP allowed on your server, cause I can't override PVP = false in server.properties, and the next release has that chest bug fixed, thanks for the info

 

Yes pvp is enabled in my default world. and could you please make it so that game world doesnt get deleted on every restart or reload.

 

It doesn't get deleted, it just doesn't automatically get reloaded, just use /addgw Name as long as the name is the same it works. If pvp is on then it should work fine, unless bukkit is glitching.

 

Yeah, that works. It would be great if the items were configurable, so you can give players some tools etc.

 

Look at the most recent update the config file allows you to choose what items go in the chest at the beginning of a game and if the items are done per team member or not
i.e. 32 iron bars, per team member = 64 iron bars for a team of 2 etc.

 

Very nice, I like that a lot. Thanks!

 

So using the record does that mean playing it fully (until it ends) or just put it in? Because I think it would be fun if the other team had time to "defuse" the record

 

haha that's a great idea but slightly anoying to implement, I might at some point add that as an option

 

Thanks,

But I have a problem:

If everyone in my server has joined and typed /telegw and I type /startgame it says an internal error accured while attemping this command and it stays at the building phase of the game... (if I type /gametime it keeps saying 5 mins, that's my configured time)

 

Yes, I haven't updated to support the latest bukkit build yet

 

Sounds awesome, any ETA on the update?

 

Can you get hold of the actual error from the console? I can't seem to recreate this one.

@Paah
Depending on how many errors I find I guess, but probably mon or tues, as I'm still finishing up a small rack of new features.

 

Waiting with great anticipation

 

i lub u.

 

Thanks, I think.

 

That's the thing: there is no error in the console. It just says it in the chat :S

 

Wow that's wierd, I don't know then, except to wait for the new version and see if that fixes your problems

 

Mirosta - you are doing an awesome job with this plugin and I can't wait to really put it to the test here soon

 

Updated! v0.86 is out with a small pile of tweaks, fixes and features

Thanks!

 

Thanks, this plugin is just AWESOME. The internal error was because in the config I had the team chest not giving anything

team chest items: []

like that. I really hope the defusing the record will be implanted.

Thanks again for this great plugin

Oh a problem:

when the players have typed /jointeam and I type /startgame everybody gets teleported to their teams spawn in the gameworld and lose their inventory. But when the game ends and they type /leaveteam they do get teleported to the normalworlds spawn but they don't get their inventory back...

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

slight problem i think or my fault?
so after installing this plug in now whenever i log in to my server and others first they get an error when connecting then they get placed in the green spawn instead of the default spawn in the main world....... it says "internal server error"
the log is uploaded below

 

I have fixed that in the just released version.

I think it's a Bukkit multiworld problem, I have encountered this error before, and I don't believe it is directly caused by the plugin but indirectly because it uses multiple worlds

 

Can you please make an admin permission or somthing? its annoying for me as an admin to get the msg that i cant use a command when game is on. I cant use any command other than gamestop. And please a kick command plus a list of who is in the team and prolly friendly fire options?
Thanks for plugins
Edit: Players cant pvp. My server is pure pvp did not disable pvp anywhere.
