Summary of stuff fixed today:
- Enemy mines can be defused with TNT
- Can't make your own mines invisible
- Fixed a minor flag glitch (if you built on the flag, it would make a fake flag block only visible to you)
- Fixed respawn cheating (setting your spawn on the enemy's side) with NeatNit's method
- Added statistics, say /stats to check your stats. After I collect stats a while, I'll make a ranking system.
- No more clones of people when they switch teams
Sounds like a lot of stuff done. Nice job Jacob. Also, don't forget the Pm and teleport features.
You should also drop a few bad maps. Maps in my opinion should be very well thought out. Not like the canyons. :tongue.gif:
This server is really nice and has come a long way. As one of the few ops for nox's CTF I can say that it is definitely a suitable replacement, and personally I think yours is more exciting because you are actually alive and adding new things constantly. I am sorry that I don't play much, since I expressed interest (and you gave me op) when you were first experimenting with the beta.
Anyway, I don't know what percentage of suggestions you take into consideration when coding your server, but I'd like to make a little pros-of-each-server list. The former list is just to show how awesome your server is, and the second is there so you can perhaps add some things from nox's CTf into your own.
Unique to your CTF:
- Mines
- Fully functional flags (nox's are buggy)
- Purple block for TNT explosion
- Games automatically end
- Spawns always open
- Lots of maps
Unique to nox's CTF
- Type /t for TNT (some prefer this) (you mentioned adding this)
- Ranking system (you mentioned adding this)
- You can tell who has your flag on enemy team
- OP's start and end games (not necessarily good or bad i.m.o.)
- Type /pm <player> to send a personal message (suggested by Koto)
- OP's type /tp <player> to teleport to a player (suggested by Koto)
- OP's can change tnt radius (7x7 is normal size, I personally like this better than 5x5)

Unique to nox's CTF
- Type /t for TNT (some prefer this) (you mentioned adding this) Working on this, should be easy
- Ranking system (you mentioned adding this) I already have stats done, now I need to get them to upload to the webserver and figure out an algorithm to calculate ranks
- You can tell who has your flag on enemy team I wasn't sure if that was a good idea at first, but if it's on Nox's I'll definitely add i
- OP's start and end games (not necessarily good or bad i.m.o.) I like it automatic, since I don't have to have ops on all the time, although ops can use /newgame
- Type /pm <player> to send a personal message (suggested by Koto)
- OP's type /tp <player> to teleport to a player (suggested by Koto) Working on both of these
- OP's can change tnt radius (7x7 is normal size, I personally like this better than 5x5)
I'm probably going to leave it at 5x5, the purple blocks make detonation faster, meaning 7x7 might make it too easy to kill people

Added my comments after yours.
I'm not sure if Nox's has this or not, but what about a feature that lets ops change the score to win for the current game? The default is 5 right now, but there are times when it might be useful to have a higher/lower limit.
Just released a small update:
- /t or /tnt to explode tnt
- /status shows who has your flag
- /tp works (it was there before, but wasn't coded right) but conflicts with the anti-respawn system... (need to disable it for people that are ops)
- /pm works
Today we (nox's CTF) had so many issues with that asshole we started banning (not ip) non-regulars when they joined..

Yeah, he is constantly showing off new hacks (auto tnt, building huge laggy blocks of sponges, destroying op blocks, etc.). I fixed all the exploits he was using, so he decided to make a modified WoM client that lets you press k to place a penis wherever you are :roll:
He uses different IP addresses and ISPs, so even an IP ban (which I don't have yet) wouldn't be effective.

Ungoliant, if you are reading this, I want this client. Are the penises made out of gold?
Jacob, get on the server and ban every version of Ungoliant please... also when you make the ranking system, exclude Ungoliant and his aliases from the list. I talked to him a lot on the server today, he says his only goal is "to win", and seemed interested when I told him he wouldn't appear on the rankings. If you do this, I will keep a dedicated log of every alias so that he can't cheat to the top of the ranklist, ever.
Also, I am about to send you a PM that should be very helpful for you.

- Put notices of scoring, flag taking etc. in a different color than white, like yellow to make it stand out in a sea of white text
- I haven't played every map but a particular map has very abusable landscape :
I really can't avoid making ctf maps because I find them really fun so you'll probably be getting a lot more then just Outpost/Imperial whathaveyou from me, Jacob.

I was going to put op block under the flags in that map, somehow I forgot :sad.gif:

If you want to contact me, use PMs. I registered with a throwaway email.

Changing the colors should be pretty easy.
Stats now upload to the server, ranks page coming soon.
Makoto's and my stats look bad because it counts the game as a loss if you are a spectator, that will be fixed.
Not very accurate yet, since right now it depends more on how much you play than how good you are.
Hey Jacob, can you make stalemate prevention the next item on your agenda?

Edit: How do you want me to send you maps? Because apparently you can't attach .dat or even .zip files in your pm's here at the mc forums.
