CTF Map Configuration Guide

How to Configure Your CTF Map
Good news, you can all do it. Here's how.

Sign information:​

Spawn sign info:

• Red spawn: {{spawn 1}}
• Blue spawn: {{spawn 2}}

Spoiler: Spawn Config Images

Front of sign = front of player or front of banner; this is the direction players will face when entering a map or respawning.
Use solid blocks under signs. Must have different block IDs for spawns. Refrain from placing spawn block IDs in any playable territory on your map.

Flag sign info:

• Red flag: {{flag 1}}
• Blue flag: {{flag 2}}

Spawn box sign info:

• {{spawn_box}}
• {{caps=3}}
• {{time=20}}

Callout sign info:

• Blue callout: {{callout 2}} and the name of the callout on the second line
• Neutral callout: {{callout}} and the name of the callout on the second line

CTF Spawn Boxes:​

There's 2 ways you can put a spawn box on your map:

The first and easiest one is through usage of the command "/assets". After executing this command, a GUI will pop up in which you can copy a spawnbox onto your clipboard. You can then paste the spawnbox at any location using the command "//paste".

The second method is copying a spawn box from the CTF Spawn Boxes map. Information about this map is listed below.

Map name: CTF Spawn Boxes
ID: 350850

Paste your spawn box at least 60 blocks above midfield to be out of ninja pearl/mage glitch range.

• Players can pick whichever box they prefer, new or classic.
• Boxes are customizable.
• Easy copy paste signs are available if only signs need updating on your map. Updated May 2017.
• Boxes are pre-configured for sign system maps.

Other information:​

• Soldier climbing restriction: Coal Ore, Nether Quartz Ore

• No fall damage upon landing: Double Soul Sand (1x2 at a minimum)

• Removal of Restrictions: All restriction requirements for CTF maps have been removed.

After you have finished & configured your map, you can submit it on the forums in this section. After submitting, a CTF staff member will check if the configuration is correct. When a reasonable amount of maps have been submitted (usually about 40 maps), they will go into a selection & testing phase.

I hope sharing this info helps map releases occur at a faster pace.
Never hesitate to step up and help with things, people notice the effort.

Thanks for stopping by.
