[Server] Capture the Flag Server

[Lord_Narkissos]

I noticed that new players/alt accounts can't build, interact, attack, or even talk. I tried two of my alts, but every time I typed something in the chat, it would only say, "You do not have permission to speak." Whoever is the admin of the server, can they fix this?
Thank you,

Did you agree to the rules? Try running /rules again

Oh.... I see now. Maybe that is why....

Can you add armor to CTF to make it more challenging?

I don't want to add armor to CTF unless there's solid well-thought-out reason(s) too. It adds a lot of complexity to combat and inventory management.

If you wanted the game to be more challenging I could add a setting you could turn on to limit your hp to 3/4 or 1/2 of what it would be normally.

I don't know how to make and submit a CTF map. Can you show me how?
Also, can you make a map using WorldEdit?

I'm planning to go through and improve a few things with map making, and I plan to make a video tutorial then too.

For now I'd recommend joining the CTF Discord Server and getting help from the map makers there.

You can't make maps with Worldedit alone, you need CTF's builtin map editor to do that. Worldedit does help a LOT with making maps though

(sorry for the spam, I hit the submit button too early....)

So you should have used the edit button to update your earlier post instead.

Can you add steel ingot and gold ingot in crafting guild? We get steel block and gold block in map, but we can't use these. Also gold sword, axe, pickaxe.

This isn't Minecraft, gold tools do not exist in Minetest.

New Update

• Fixed bug where treasure chests wouldn't open
• Fixed water not flowing in after barrier removal - Emojigit
• Make donate command params interchangeable - Brain_Juice
• Players now hold a flag in their left hand after taking one
• Reworked the hpbar code to allow for an icon next to it
• Your PvP status in Elysium is now displayed via an icon next to your hpbar
• Added ranking leagues. Before the upcoming reset players will have a league icon based on what their league will be after the reset.

Introducing Leagues

You can ask questions or make suggestions by DMing me on the forums

After rankings are reset players will be assigned to a 'league' based on their ranking placement pre-reset.
This currently only has cosmetic value, and takes the form of an icon next to their healthbar ingame (See image below)


The icons are still WIP, and what you see in the image isn't final. You can change them with texturepacks like all other CTF textures.

The icons will change to match your league placement for the mode that's currently being played.

There are currently 7 leagues implemented. More can be added as the playerbase grows.
League placements are per-mode.

• Diamond League: Top 20
• Mese League: Top 50
• Gold League: Top 250
• Bronze League: Top 500
• Steel League: Top 1000
• Stone League: Top 2500
• Wood League: Top 5000

I've tried to set the leagues up so that most players should place in a league from the upcoming reset if they've spent roughly a week playing casually.
Note that new usernames/alt/accounts made after the reset won't have any league, as leagues are given based on your username's placement before a ranking reset.
Players without a league will have no icon next to their healthbar.
Changing the league icons to incorporate a player's projected/current ranking league is a possibility in the future, but only a few months after the reset, after rankings have had time to settle down.

Leagues also come with two commands:

• /league: See the past league/ranking placements of yourself or another player
• /leagues: Shows a list of leagues and the placement needed to get in each of them. (A copy of the list I gave earlier in this post)

You can ask questions or make suggestions by DMing me on the forums

Hiding the league icons
You can hide league icons with the texturepack attached to this post. If you already use a texturepack just copy the contents of this one into it. hpbars will look offset without the icons, but I'm hoping to fix that at some point

This isn't Minecraft, gold tools do not exist in Minetest.

I can get gold block in the castle map, get steel block in the tank and baes map.

[Mr. Sun]

I saw protection in crafting guide, it was made by 1 gold ingot and 8 stone.
Gold can be use.

This server doesn't have protection blocks. Make sure you're posting in the right topic

[Mr. Sun]

I say in single player

[Mr. Sun]

And pls let us craft steel. Then steel block can be useful.

August 16th is the 10th anniversary of CTF's codebase!

• An event will take place starting some time after the ranking reset (August 16th at around 7am PDT), and will last until September 1st, which will mark the 8th anniversary of this CTF server
• More details when the event launches ;)

Normal Updates:

• Turned off the placement limit. The green loading blocks are still around to show if you're lagging or not. But you can place on them now
  • The intent of this is to see how the placement limit has been affecting gameplay. You can leave feedback or make suggestions by DMing me on the forums
• Fixed some misc bugs relating to hpbars and the bounty formspec
• Updated the ranking reset details:
  • All player ranks (score, kills, etc) will be archived and reset to 0 in all modes
  • Players that placed top 100 in at least one mode will receive a sunglasses cosmetic
  • Pro chest access will get carried over from pre-reset rankings
  • All players in the top 5000 of a mode will receive a league for that mode

[Lone_Wolf]

August 16 to September 1: Anniversary Event

• For the duration of the event fireworks will spawn in treasure chests, and players in Elysium will find they have fireworks in the second row of their inventory
  • You can launch fireworks by punching with one in hand, or by placing one and punching it
• New cosmetic: The `Anniversary Hat`! You can get it by launching a firework into the sky.

The ranking reset seems successful so far, but I'll be watching for issues/crashes over the next few hours...

Wow, 10 years! To mark the occasion, I've written an article about the history of CTF:

Ten years of Capture The Flag
CTF is a PvP game made using Minetest. This article covers the history of CTF, the lessons I learned, and the changes I made along the way.

[Mr. Sun]

Wow, I just play 4 months. But RTT was too hight (5000ms). That's too LAGGY!!!

[Festus1965]

You should learn to separate between server, distance and own unit lag.

When you feel lag do /status and see what the server itself does tell about intern work (lag) from receive, work and send new data.

The rtt is the distance lag, the time the signals/data between server and client to travel.
Even worst distance in the world should not be much over 400 ms.
So if you see rtt 5000 there is some problem BETWEEN you and the server.
You can even check it, choosing another server or more and see if the rtt is same everywhere = the problem is very near you, sure at the internet connection before some separating to other destinations.
Can be like another user in the house of same 'bundle' from your provider might use a steam, download ...

And at last, can be your own unit (Pc, Laptop) at the LAN connection until router as of some network protocol problem.

YOUR post should have a better text, more clear dating it's not the server problem.
Even I read clear you tell rtt, ... I am sure many will miss-understand.


Even I have rtt between 200 and 300 - depending on the route my provider is renting.
That is no any comment worth anymore, not to confuse other read it.

What is up with the glasses? How do players get those? I see FlamingRCCars and a few others wearing sunglasses....

It's mentioned in the news regarding the ranking reset. See the bottom of this post: viewtopic.php?p=428024#p428024

[Mr. Sun]

I have an idea. Can you add steak/pork/chicken in game? We can use these things to quick recovery our energy (likes survival) .

[Mr. Sun]

Can you add magazine guns? We only have single-shot rife, they can't cover bearer/teammate.

The sub-machine gun fits that role.

[Mr. Sun]

There is no password, you're trying to join with someone else's account probably

[Mr. Sun]

But what's going on with this? I tried Minetest and multicraft, but I still can't join.
