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"

Hopefully, nothing :) It only makes the code a lot cleaner and future changes/addition easier.
So far, no. The weapons only make sense inside paintball, as they always need to know who is enemy and who not and other things that are only avaiable during matches currently.
I will think about the extra permission nodes, but they will not be added in the next update for sure I guess. What commands do you fear yout moderators could use (but shouldn't) with the full admin permissions?
theoretically. Mines currently can be placed on everything where you would be able to place normal flower pots too. I currently have no plans to let them stand on other blocks. If I find some time I could do some testing however..

What is going to be changed with the rewrite? will we even have the ability to type out the commands to get the weapons? Also, could you make a permission node for players to use the command pb admin reload and softreload? Also, if you wanted to add pb admin next into that too, that would be great. I would recommend it! I only want to resolve possible glitches with the current version and possible problems in the future by moderators that dont need the full pb admin node. also, will snow also be restored from the mines and could you make mines possible to be placed on blocks like glass? I dont know if its possible to have them placed on carpet (1.6 update) but if its not, could you add this? thx

I just have started to completly rewrite the weapons code about 4 days ago. And it's still in progress and about 70% finished I would say. When I am done with it (and done some small testing), I will upload the new version. I hope nothing will break through that :-/
And some more small things were fixed I think:

Posted Jul 7, 2013Since the update for 1.6.2 is coming out probably within the next 48 hrs, will this mean there will be more delays to getting your next version out? Also do you have a set date yet and have you added anything new since we last spoke?

With "/pb arena <arena_name> info" you can check, why they are not ready. I guess you have forgotten to add the spectator spawns.

There needs to be written something into the database file in the paintball folder. Maybe something interferes there ? (write permissions etc.. I don't know) Still, I would have guessed if thats the case it would print an error messages instead of simple freezing.
Paintball enables properly? Database file is created in Paintball folder? Everything else works, until you enter exactly this command (what about other commands ? Do they work?)
I really have no idea what the problem is..

If it is something like "The database is locked" which is printed than search for the first error on top of these.. Because this messages only means that paintball wasn't shut down properly, which could have many reasons.
