Hey!
I haven't found much time to work on this project lately. If you want to contribute, the source code can be found here: https://github.com/PaintballWarEdition/PaintballLegacy
Feel free to open pull requests, but try to keep the changes per PR minimal to reduce the time required to review them. If you have larger or more complex changes in mind, feel free to contact me to discuss them before you start working on them.
We also started to move the documentation over to Github: https://github.com/PaintballWarEdition/PaintballLegacy-Wiki/wiki
But this can certainly be improved. If you want to help with the documentation, feel free to contact me and send me your Github username.
If you can contribute and maintain translations of the plugin, or have other ideas of how you could contribute, let me know as well!
Thanks.

Paintball is a fast paced and action packed multiplayer game.
In the classic TeamDeathMatch mode 2 teams compete against each other to bombard each other with snowballs. Once a player is hit, he's out and automatically leaves the arena and has to wait in the paintball lobby for his mates to finish and the next match to start. In the Paintball lobby you will meet all paintball players, choose your team and wait for enough players, or the end of the last match. When all conditions are met, a countdown starts which announces the next match.
Some license stuff:

Basic-Features
Paintball is constantly expanding. There are more and more features added which have not much to do with the classic paintball game. But do not panic: According to your personal preferences you can modify or disable most things in the config.yml in the Paintball folder.
- No client or server modifications or additional plugins are required !
- Multiple Arenas: Build as many arenas as you like !
- Complete freedom on what your arena looks like! As Paintball does not care about your arenas borders, your arena can have any shape and layout, as long as it is impenetrable. Simple build some sort of wall around your arena to keep your players inside.
- Multiple Spawns: Paintball lets you define multiple spawn points for each team (red, blue, spectators) !
- Automatic-Lobby-Arena-System: The Paintball lobby will automatically rotate through all your ready arenas. No need for administrators to be online !
Limitation: Currently there can always only run one match at a time.
- Easy: No complex setup needed ! Only 4 commands and your arena is ready and added to the automatic arena rotation !
- Mechanism to strictly seperate Survival and Paintball and to prevent "cheating" in and with Paintball.
- Easy and individually adjustable small Shop, where you can buy ammunition or other special and unique "weapons", gadgets and power-ups with the Paintball-Cash earned during the matches.
- Ranking: Your players gain points to compete with each other !
- Various statistics: examples are Points, Cash, Kills, Deaths, Hits, Shots, KD, Accurancy, Teamattacks, Wins and Defeats for each player, each arena and as a whole.
- Toggleable Killfeed ! Turn it off if it spams you !
- Most stuff is configurable ! For advanced information click here.
- Much, much more!
Easy integration on every survival server!
Our main target is to keep this plugin easily integratable on any standard survival server without disturbing the survival feeling. Players shall not be able to swindle items or gain other advantages over survival players through Paintball.
Here you got some sort of overview what actions are taken to protect the survival-part of the server:
People with the 'paintball.admin' permissions node can bypass some of them.
- Prevent commands that are not related to Paintball. So player can't teleport or use commands as a benefit.
- Prevent breaking and placing of blocks.
- Prevent dropping and picking up items, or dropping the armor.
- Options to let players only join with full health or hunger so they can't escape during fights.
- Options to save the players inventory when joining the lobby and restore afterwards.
- Paintball inventory is cleared when leaving the lobby.
- Turned off damage and starvation inside the lobby.
- Many things can be disabled if they create problems with your other plugins.
- Explosions do no damage to blocks.
- Only Paintball players receive the Paintball messages. Your other players will not get spammed.

Additional information
Hint about version checking and stats collecting:
This plugin is checking dev.bukkit.org for new updates. This can be disabled in the config with the setting "Server.Version Check".
This plugin is also doing some periodically stats tracking to mcstats.org which helps me to determine how many servers are using it. This can be disabled with the setting "Server.Metrics".
And the plugin is also sending some stats to blablubbabc.de to maybe prepare for some kind of later serverlist (a list of paintball servers). Currently those data are only stored in a non-public mysql table on my server.
- This means that this plugin is sending some general information about the minecraftserver, like: ip-adress, port, servername, slots, motd, bukkit version, if server is in onlinemode and if it has whitelist enabled.
- And some information about paintball like: how many players already played paintball there and if it is an paintball-only server (autolobby enabled) and if the server admin wants the server to be listed at some kind of public server list later, when it is finished.
→Those data are currently only send once every reload.
→ For people who don't want to share these informations with me :( → you can en- and disable this in the serverlist config (plugins/Paintball/serverlist.yml) with the setting "post enabled"

"Auto lobby" set to true in the config ? If yes, you can't leave the lobby. Nor can players break blocks while being in the lobby.
The next version will include: leaving the lobby as admin even if in "paintball only"-mode (auto lobby) and breaking placing blocks if in creative mode.

It changes it back / adds in default, if there are missspellings and/or special (unallowed) characters contained or errors in the yml-format. Check your log for errors, and your edited config.yml if you didn't mess up the format / the keywords.
If you make no mistakes with your edits (and maybe try: stop, edit, start instead of restarting), I can garantee you that it works..

Posted Apr 7, 2013Yo awesome plugin, but @WatupGeeks is right, it doesn't allow non-op players to join, because when you change the "No Permissions: true" BUT after you save it and restart your server, it changes it back to false.... lol should I report a ticket if you can read this?

if you use a permissions plugin, you have to give your players the 'paintball.general' permissions node. "To give" them this node depends on your permissions plugin. Look in their wikis for hwo to use their plugin.
If you do not use a permissions plugin OR use the op.txt file and want to give all players the right to play Paintball: you can set "No Permissions: true" inside the config.yml

I will make this more diverse in a future update, allowing you to specify which damage is cancelled and which is not. Currently you can only complety block all damage or don't block it.
To get it working with WorldGuard maybe try to turn off damage inside the paintball config and let WG do all damage blocking. If it is enabled player will die if they instantly receive damage higher than their health.

Posted Apr 4, 2013is there a way to have players die when they fall in the void without turning on damage? Or would it be possible to have it so they only take damage from this? Also, i have worldguard enabled and have turned off all damage except for projectiles and pvp but players still die if they fall from to great of a height. is there a way to make this fall damage turned off or not? (its disabled in worldguard) thx for any help.

the permission is - paintball.general so it should work. Make sure that your Permissions Plugin (Group Manager) is working correctly may your setup is wrong (are the players in the right group with the note/have you done a reload/restart after you have changed and safed the file). Are there errors at startup with essentials groupmanager?
